This research aims to identify values related to political and civic participation methods among the two groups of radicalised youngsters: native youth who support movements labelled as far-right ( 122) and migrant-origin self-identified Muslim youth with strong organisational ties with religious communities (109) in Germany, Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. The study posits that these these radically aligned youngsters position themselves against politically moderate European citizens, who are less intuitive when making judgements on political affairs comparing to them. Diverging from the unifying European values and hypersensitivities, these youngsters' political reactions are often radical and loud in their safe-to-speak, segregated movements. By using the narrations of the range of mainstream modes of political participation, the current qualitative research asks what appears valuable for the two groups of young people to express their political discontent. Findings revealed that both groups highlighted similar values regarding voting. Self-identified Muslim youth stressed the importance of volunteering and street protests (despite not having participated in one). Many native youths, on the other hand, stressed the function of unlawful behaviour in street protests to pursue political objectives. The findings such as these are discussed considering the group differences.
本研究旨在确定德国、比利时、法国和荷兰两组激进化青年（支持被贴上极右翼标签运动的本土青年（122人）以及与宗教社区有紧密组织联系、自认为是移民出身的穆斯林青年（109人））中与政治和公民参与方式相关的价值观。该研究认为，这些极端倾向一致的青年与政治上温和的欧洲公民立场相悖，后者在对政治事务进行判断时不如他们直观。与统一的欧洲价值观和过度敏感不同，这些青年在他们安全发声、隔离的运动中，其政治反应往往激进且强烈。通过运用一系列主流政治参与模式的叙述，当前的定性研究探讨了对这两组年轻人表达其政治不满而言，哪些东西似乎是有价值的。研究结果显示，两组在投票方面都强调了相似的价值观。自认为是穆斯林的青年强调志愿服务和街头抗议的重要性（尽管他们没有参加过街头抗议）。另一方面，许多本土青年强调在街头抗议中采取非法行为以实现政治目标的作用。考虑到群体差异，对这些研究结果进行了讨论。
