Abstract :
The formation of ISIS created developments in the Middle East. One of its consequences was the reviving of the extreme parties which were forgotten after World War II. By introducing ISIS as the (fake) representative of Islamic civilization, these parties sought to inspire this idea that ISIS is trying to target the values, civilization and culture of Western liberal democracy. The European fear of immigration, multiculturalism, terrorist attacks and political instability on the one hand, political instability and people's dissatisfaction with government institutions on the other hand led these parties gain some success in the elections. This paper seeks to answer this question that, how has ISIS's influence been in the acceptance of right-wing extremists in Europe? Using the theory of clash of civilizations in a descriptive-analytical manner, the findings Shows that ISIS has had a direct impact on the creation of extreme right-wing groups.
