Abstract

Terrorism remains one of the means of influencing society aimed at moral and psychological intimidation. Today, the so-called Islamist networks are the most active in the field of applying terrorist measures – structures whose activities are initiated, as a rule, by Western strategic centers, and are organized and sponsored by a number of Arab states. And if the West thus tries to solve its geopolitical tasks due to terrorists (destabilizing the situation, creating an excuse for shifting the current government and interference – political or direct), then some Arab states believe that through supporting the spread of the ideas of radical Islamism they are strengthening their influence in the spaces populated by Muslim peoples. At the same time, in the network society it is possible to counteract effectively network influence only by means of networks which creation and use for displacement of terrorist content and this article is devoted.
