摘要:Terrorism is one of the essential problems of our times. Most commonly, terrorist organizations have theirorigins in social movements that presume that they cannot reach their goal of promoting political change oth-er than through violence. This paper deals with the use of the Internet, and especially social media, by terror-ist groups. Social media seem to be an essential part in the groups' strategic communication concepts. Theydo not only use it for the groups' internal organization but mainly for the dissemination of ideas to a broaderpublic. If the government wants to counteract terrorist movements, it also has to counteract their use of socialmedia. Therefore, theoretical concepts of terrorism as communication, PR and propaganda will be presentedas well as results of case studies in order to show the interconnectedness of terrorism and social media.
