In this series from SBS News we look at the enduring issues of extremism and terrorism. Why do people join extremist movements? What are the risks and politics of the far right? And how are governments and international agencies tackling the threat of terrorism after high profile incidents like the US Capitol insurrection and the Christchurch massacre?
