| Summary: | This paper will show the threat of self-radicalisation to Singapore is low.
However there are also factors that can complicate this assessment. The first section of the paper will define self-radicalisation and show that it is part
of the process of radicalisation, which could lead to terrorism. Section II will
explore why assessing radicalisation and terrorism is complicated, mainly as a
result of limited and rigorous research defining what a terrorist personality is.
Other reasons are existing stereotypes which can skew research such as linking
Islam to terrorism, anti-Americanism as the path to radicalisation, weak links in terrorism research methods and also the prevailing unverifiability of sources. |
