As a sympathizer, a person who. For a group whose idea, ideology or their representatives feel sympathy and this is often expressed publicly

The term was coined by German authorities in the 1970s and 1980s, especially in connection with the terrorist group Red Army Faction and used. Sympathizers are in contrast to activists not automatically and not members of organizations.

A sympathizer differs from the followers in that he acts out of conviction and not necessarily because of the behavior of others.
