dc.description.abstractThe issue of religious extremism is typically addressed in the international literature from the perspective of various forms of religious fanaticism1 and terrorism,2 and based on the “traditional” problems related to religious sects. However, few works have gone beyond the definition of extremism and its main forms of practical implementation to provide a sophisticated system of criteria and offer an exhaustive typology. This being so, the aim of the present work is to fill in this gap, adopting a three-element structure to set up a typology that groups the various instances of extreme religious activity. This study does this by presenting the realities of a particular state (Hungary) and giving examples of each type of extremist activity where possible – fortunately, due to the complete absence of certain types of violent, religiously motivated phenomena, we could not find any Hungarian examples for some extremist activities. These examples must, of course, be incorporated into the Hungarian context, and therefore this paper also outlines the main contours of Hungarian regulations on religious affairs, the developments that have taken place in recent decades, and the causes behind any major changes. This work primarily applies the approaches and methods of legal studies and sociology, but also makes use of the views and findings of political science and other fields, and the results of this paper can thereby be considered to have come from a consciously complex approach.
