Finnsecurity-paja 15.6.2026, ”Evolving Threats of Modern Islamism in Europe”, Vallila, Helsinki
Finnsecurity ry järjestää yhteistyössä Varmuus, turvallisuus & johtaminen -verkoston kanssa Finnsecurity-pajan maanantaina 15.6.2026 klo 16–18 otsikolla ”Evolving Threats of Modern Islamism in Europe”. Alustajana toimii kansainvälinen terrorismiasiantuntija Andrin Raj. Alustus on englanniksi, kysymyksiä voi esittää myös suomeksi. Tule mukaan kuulemaan huippuasiantuntijan alustusta yleensä vaisusti käsitellyistä ilmiöistä, jolla on monenlaisia vaikutuksia mm. turvallisuuteen.
Modern Islamism and Salafi reformism have assumed new forms within the evolving landscape of radicalisation and resistance in Europe. The conceptualisation and adaptation of these reformist movements have enabled Islamist actors to position themselves more effectively within contemporary socio-political environments, strengthening their ideological influence and organisational reach. Through increasingly sophisticated support structures, digital platforms, and transnational networks, Islamist movements have expanded their capacity to disseminate and propagate radical ideological belief systems across diverse communities. This evolution has not only transformed methods of recruitment and mobilisation, but has also complicated efforts by European states and institutions to counter extremist narratives and prevent radicalisation.
What are these and how do we address these issues?
