As you know, one of the key prerequisites for radicalization is isolation, isolation for various reasons from the usual society or lifestyle. However, in the modern world, a person does not remain alone to the extent that it was possible before the advent of the Internet – now he always has the opportunity to find like-minded people, understanding and sympathy online. And it often turns out that this kind of “vest” becomes people with their own goals and motives, which may not be harmless at all.

Who is at risk? The greatest threat of radicalization through Internet resources is exposed to young people, who make up the main audience of social networks and other Internet resources in Kazakhstan. To protect yourself and your loved ones, you need to follow simple rules:

• To get reliable information about religion, contact imams and clergymen.

• Receive information only from Internet resources from official websites of the clergy and do not trust questionable content.

• Do not listen to and in no case, post lectures and audio recordings of unknown religious preachers on your personal page on social networks

• If you or your family have suffered from the influence of destructive religious organizations, you should contact the center’s helpline.
