Özet: This article analyzes ethnic, religious, and civilizational dimensions of identity-based security threats and their link with globalization, with a specific focus on the connection between Islam as a basis for group identity and Islam as a threat. Even though, Islam sometimes perceived as a threat by Western world mainly for historical reasons, this article suggests that an ‘Islamic threat’ based on a Huntingtonian understanding of a civilizational identity is a myth. Nevertheless, it also argues that some radical and extremist groups, imagining identities based on Islam as a religion, might pose threats to security at the national, regional or global levels
