Summary/Abstract: The present paper makes a thorough analysis in the spinning universeof terror, which is governed by a different set of rules, under which societalvalues are seen as flaws and weaknesses that are against the common goalsestablished by the leaders of extremist movements. The youth feel the needto belong to a social group. By doing this, they are confirming their own viewof an ideal identity as being real – they are accepted as a whole, they arenot judged and, most importantly, their enemy becomes the groups’ enemy.Also, in this paper the authors have used a qualitative analysis of data, based oncase studies, to identify the factors that make up the portrait of the radicalisedyouth identity.
