Abstract
The main aim of the project is give an appraisal of the factors facilitating Islamite violence and the rampant growing terrorism in UK and Europe. The aim is give clear evidence to the features and mechanism through which radicalisation takes process with full support to indentify similar respond to measures of radicalisation. The effects of Islamist radicalisation and terror have been growing rapidly in United kingdom and Europe for the last three years. They have been targeting through buses, airplanes, airports and trains. In other cases, planned attacks have been redirected to public places such as market, populated streets, clubs and parliaments. Most of those who are involved are either citizens of Europe but with very close interaction with Islamic community. It is not easy to determine or categorize factors influencing radicalisation procedure. However, collection of factors is important to elaborate the reason that has made most of Islamic young men have emerged to arrange and carry on with killing terrorist attacks and even converting women.
The root cause of radicalisation usually is believed to be cultivated by the individuals who feel to be frustrated by the government, society or the policy. Thus, individuals meets with other people with the minded idea in their minds, finally they come together with a chain of events which at long last ends up in terrorism. Nevertheless, not all members ends up becoming terrorist because other drops from radicalisation before it goes far at a different stages. The worlds worried how the terrorism fact through radicalisation is taking place in high speed and spreading anonymously in the world in this digital arena. Because of rapid growth of radicalisation groups, the world is also in a great fear of possible attacks from very small starting terrorist groups. Additionally, the studies shows that the main problem associates with indentifying the terrorist who are involved in attack cannot be easily recognized because they look very normal.
Summary
Islamic radicalisation and self-motivated terror takes in the following four phases:
Pre-radicalisation
Identification and conversation with radical Islam
Increasing group strength and indoctrination
Planning actual terrorism activities
Rapid growing of radicalization and self motivated terrorism in UK and Europe is a unique process through which it can ca not be clear indentified by individual in a common profile. Through phase one and 2 as mentioned above they are seem to have logic progress in terror events and acts to the increasingly and advanced radicalisation. According to the studies, the process of radicalisation begins to be very young. Thus, individuals comes together in looking for the cause of where a strong Muslim identity further find an answer in the ideology of radical Islam. However, radicalisation may take place in a very weak network or peer friend. Radicalisation terror groups are formed from the ground and grows into autonomously speed to a certain level. Moreover, in several recent terrorism cases in Europe, international and overseas travel integration has been facilitated in the phase 3 and 4. For instance, the terror group Al Qaida is believed to be the coordinator and the root of inspiration in networking the other terrorism group.
Radicalisation process has three main motivational influential factors:

Sporting activities
Radicalisation terrorism is sociological phenomenon whereby issues as if transformation process, group dynamics, belonging and identity are give the first priority. However, religion plays a big role. A complex process thus should be undertaking its root cause in preventing radicalisation and Islamic extremism.

Improving public diplomacy with an aim of focusing the close persons is an important aspect to challenge the misperception and myths about western community policies.
Islamic community should stand still to challenge extremists in a direct point at a place of prospect fir the radicalisation. Additionally, the local authority and government should have a close relationship to support local activities in the community. The general purpose of this dissertation is to explore the ideologies, narrative and beliefs leading to radicalism violence because of abusive interpretation of Islamic community.
