A recent study led by Dr. Jared Dmello reveals that diverse extremist groups share common targets, specifically LGBTQ+ individuals. This research highlights how Islamic extremists and far-right terrorists both employ similar methods in their propaganda and violent actions. Dmello emphasizes the alarming overlap in their tactics, suggesting a troubling trend in broader political movements aiming to undermine LGBTQ+ rights. The study also cites bizarre propaganda, like claims about 'gay viruses' from Russian sources. The findings raise urgent calls for closer examination of extremist narratives as potential threats intensify, particularly as the US prepares for the upcoming presidential elections.
We found a wide variety of extremist groups, which on the surface have nothing in common, are actually engaging in similar attacks on the same marginalised communities, Dmello was quoted as saying by Cosmos magazine.
Both Islamic extremist groups and far-right terrorist groups actively target the queer community through propaganda and violence.
It was quite surprising to me just how much the far-right and Islamic extremists are engaging in similar tactics, messaging and propaganda to justify their attacks against the LGBTQ+ community.
Sadly, this reflects broader political movements around the world that also target the human rights of this increasingly vulnerable population.
