    Islamic extremism is considered right wing.

    The right wing ideology below sounds like it has come straight out of an Islamic extremists play book.

    Chillingly familiar to the likes of ISIS.

    Ideology

    Right-wing conservatism is a political philosophy that resists any change in the existing political, economic, social and religious institutions and beliefs. It aims to protect traditional values and beliefs, mainly religious, from the perceived threats of the ‘others’. The Right-wing conservatives not only presume their values and cultures superior to others, but also yearn for returning to a time of past glory. They are mainly nostalgic, and believe that the modern world is sinful.

    Ethno-Nationalism and Religious Supremacy

    The right-wing conservatives advocate a rigid belief in ethno-nationalism, ideology or religious supremacy. Violence is, sometimes, justified because the group believes that it is protecting the unity and purity of the ethnic group, race, ideology or religion. They firmly believe that they are on the right path and final victory, with the divine help, will be theirs. They also “act on behalf of national groups, regional minorities, religious fundamentalists, or other groups with a distinctive identity. This identity is championed as being more legitimate, more sacred, or otherwise superior to other identities.”
