Ethno-nationalist and white supremacist movements in the United States and Europe include far-right political parties, neo-Nazi movements, and apolitical protest groups. European ethno-nationalist groups believe that a nation should be composed of a single ethnicity, and endorse anti-immigrant and particularly anti-Muslim xenophobia.

Many have an insidious online presence and primarily target youth for recruitment through social media and other means.
