In the study of radicalization and processes of political violence, the relationship between militant groups and their social and political environment is considered mainly with respect to interactions between the militants and their adversaries (police, governments). Drawing on an analysis of the Egyptian militant Islamist group al-Jamaa al-Islamiyya between 1986 and 1997, this paper argues that beyond this dyadic relationship, interactions between the militants and their constituencies [social environment] may contribute to processes of radicalization. In the case of al-Jamaa al-Islamiyya, two basic mechanisms could be identified that reinforced this process: Firstly, the militants’ agenda of transforming the Muslim community’s social and cultural order (fighting moral corruption in society) caused resentment and triggered a cycle of rejection and radicalization, culminating in attempts to impose norms of moral conduct by force, which, in turn, contributed to a further loss of support. Secondly, the weakening of support during the violent conflict with the police triggered a dynamic of social isolation and radicalization, either in a pattern of withdrawal and disengagement, with militants turning away from local arenas and engage in national (or international) terrorist campaigns; or in a violent struggle over controlling the community, in which the militants reacted to what they perceived as betrayal by trying to coerce and terrorize the population into compliance and into not collaborating with their enemy, thereby destroying all remnants of supportive relations with local communities.
