Rather, it is the cumulative outcome of the dynamic interaction among multiple ideological, institutional, and structural factors. Furthermore, the study emphasized that violent extremism is not confined to any particular religion or society, but constitutes a global challenge shaped by diverse contextual determinants.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>The examination committee consisted of Assistant Professor Dr. Ali Hussein Yaseen (Chair), Assistant Professor Dr. Nizar Abdul Karim Hassan (Member),
