Dawson (2010) Lorne Dawson presents a unique perspective on the similarities between new religious movements (NRMs), also known as sects, and radical Islamic groups. Dawson (2010) questions why no dialogue has occurred due to the similarities between the two types of movements. Dawson (2010) stated that individuals who join Islamic extremist groups have the same problems as NRM members who experience a source of deprivation or alienation from the secular world. As with both groups, Dawson (2010) alludes to the fact that deprivation is based on the personalization of an issue that could be social, psychological and moral. Dawson (2010) warns that deprivation is not just about economics and there is no single profile to fit an individual, targeted reason for why an individual will feel deprived. Dawson points out that the general public may view people as unfortunate and in financial difficulty. However, in reality, both groups according to Dawson (2010) come from middle-class families and have obtained some education and look unremarkable, just as stated in the study of Silber and Bhatt (2007). With this sense of deprivation, Dawson points out research individuals in both NRM and radical Islamic groups may want to pursue an identity that is influenced by socialization with other people going through the same situation or who understand what an individual is going through. Dawson makes an interesting point that social ties that are strong and give an individual a sense of belonging help turn a person into an NRM or radical Islamic group. Dawson refers to two key principles of socialization which are present in both NRM and radical Islam and were mentioned in Silber and Bhatt's (2007) study which are applied... halfway through the article... to move away from aspect of socialization as a channel to push radicalization. It is mentioned that Larose, accused of conspiring to kill Swedish artist Lars Vilks, had social contacts via email in support of her efforts. The literature provides a valid point that the Internet has emerged as an important component in increasing the radicalization process. This article argues that researchers should have presented the thesis that the Internet is a gateway to socialization rather than a forum for self-radicalization. The document mentioned the importance of information operations to counter media that promote radicalisation, which has not been highlighted to the extent that it has been in this literature. The variable Self-Awakening involves religion in this literature. The Social Conduct variable is obviously identified by the Internet and extremist groups.
