late 1960s. There are surprising numbers of groups and probably around 250 core activists. Tuesday 24 March 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Recent developments have been the inclusion of Islamaphobic comments and views in their
world view, the use of the internet to convey their message and attack certain individuals and
groups, and actively linking with global activists and groups. So who are they? What do they
believe? And should we be worried about their presence and activities? This talk will try to
answer some of these questions and provide a history of these groups and extreme activists.
