Foreign extremism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Foreigner extremism is a collective term used by the German constitution protection authorities for the activities of the so-called “ extremist or terrorist foreigner organizations” they observe, which see Germany as a “safe haven” from which they “can pursue their goals in their home country”.

According to the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Baden-Württemberg , it does not represent a separate type of extremism . According to the matter, it could be “ left-wing extremist , extremely nationalist , Islamist and other endeavors”. Regardless of this official definition, "residents" of the respective country are regularly involved in "foreign extremist" organizations.
