Abstract
The resurgence of far-right extremists in Australia can negatively affect the Australian Muslim community and efforts to counter violent extremism. There is therefore a need to revisit the interplay of factors and narratives involved in the radicalisation of Islamists and certain elements of the Australian far right. Without the necessary psycho-social insights informing these initiatives, singling out the Arab and Muslim communities can possibly lead to resentment and lone-wolf attacks by self-radicalised ‘jihadists’, besides the radicalisation and recruitment into far-right extremism.
