Summary/Abstract: Conspirators to explain the origin of the attacks of September 11, 2001 evoke the idea of conspiracy. This vision of the facts that can lead to radicalization is the question in this article. For some, the conspiracy theory is the ultimate refuge in the near-impossible explanation of certain events. It can be exploited on Internet forums to push young people towards radicalization by creating a fictitious enemy to fight. In this article, it is about a study of the argumentation in an Internet forum by opting for the prgmadialectique1. We take care through the systematicity in the treatment of the argumentation to identify argumentative strategies in favor of the idea of the conspiracy and the participation of this one in the radicalization through the diffusion of a persuasive speech based on the conspiracy theory.
