Problem:
Select Prominent Figures and Materials: Choose speeches, propaganda, or writings from well-known figures within jihadist networks. You may focus on historical or contemporary materials. Ensure that the materials you select have been linked to instances of violence or radicalization. Conduct Rhetorical Analysis: Carefully analyze the selected materials. Identify instances where incendiary rhetoric is employed. Look for language that stirs strong emotions, promotes aggression, dehumanizes opponents, or calls for violent actions. Correlation with Historical Incidents: Explore historical incidents or patterns where the rhetoric used in the selected materials aligns with subsequent acts of violence. Provide evidence linking the rhetoric to specific incidents, considering motives, targets, and methods. Critical Evaluation: Evaluate the degree of influence that incendiary rhetoric might have had in driving individuals toward violence. Consider external factors that might reinforce the rhetoric's impact, such as social context, personal grievances, and ideological alignment.
