Abstract

This chapter tries to contribute to the description of some aspects of Czech anti-islamic activism in the Facebook social environment. We concentrate primarily on the aspects of the self-presentation of its online choices, especially on the context in which it shows itself and on what other currents it has in the near future.

We follow on one side the so-called dramaturgical sociology of Erving Goffman methodologically and on the other hand we rely on some aspects of the analysis of populist salmon Ernest Laclau. Data from social networks shows that the anti-islamist attitudes united in the Czech environment with the Islam v CR nechceme (even with its variations) are associated with general dissatisfaction with society and are part of the wider populist movement.

Thus it calls the possibility that the radial anti-islamic attitude is only one of the symbolic transformation of the general populist movement.
