Despite the fact that the issue of far-right extremism in not a new phenomenon, it has sparked further discussions given the last dramatic terror attacks. Since the 9/11 terror attacks, both literature of terrorism and implementations of counter terrorism approaches have focused on al-Qaeda and DAESH related terrorism. However, the realized terror attacks by far-right groups and individuals have shown that violent capacity and extremist ideological framework should be taken as seriously as the terror groups abusing religions in the Middle East. Studies on far-right terrorism can be described as a new epistemic and ontological area for many experts. With the penetration terror attacks of the far-right groups and their members at the global level, scholars, counter terrorism practitioners and policy makers have started to discover violence capacity of far-right extremism. The terrorist threat potential of far-right terrorism has also influenced anti-fascism, which emerged as a reaction to it and has inspired various far-left groups, including today’s anarcho anarchism.
