Is he encouraging violence towards democrats?
Modern definition for three countries. In the USA I hear it mostly used in discussions about ISIS.
Presented below is a list of definitions used by different governments:
United Kingdom:
The UK Home Office, MI5s parent agency, defines radicalization as The process by which people come to support terrorism and violent extremism and, in some cases, then join terrorist groups. The MI5 report closes by saying that no single measure will reduce radicalization in the UK and that the only way to combat it is by targeting the at risk vulnerable groups and trying to assimilate them into society. This may include helping young people find jobs, better integrating immigrant populations into the local culture, and effectively reintegrating ex-prisoners into society.
Canada:
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police defines radicalization as "the process by which individualsusually young peopleare introduced to an overtly ideological message and belief system that encourages movement from moderate, mainstream beliefs towards extreme views. While radical thinking is by no means problematic in itself, it becomes a threat to national security when Canadian citizens or residents espouse or engage in violence or direct action as a means of promoting political, ideological or religious extremism. Sometimes referred to as homegrown terrorism, this process of radicalization is more correctly referred to as domestic radicalization leading to terrorist violence.
Denmark:
The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) defines radicalization as A process by which a person to an increasing extent accepts the use of undemocratic or violent means, including terrorism, in an attempt to reach a specific political/ideological objective.
