According to Frankfurter, linking terrorism and evil shifts the view of the terrorist “from a concrete mass-killer with a biography, distinct motivations, and specific goals, to a shadowy opponent of family and society in heartland America.
According to Frankfurter, the major factor is the arrival of "experts in the discernment of evil" -- witch-finders or experts in satanic ritual abuse or cults who bring a broad and intensified concept of evil to a community already anxious about misfortune, subversion, enemies, foreigners, cults and demons.
Frankfurter, a specialist in ancient Mediterranean religions, is a professor of religious studies and history at the University of New Hampshire.

 Frankfurter, D.: Evil Incarnate: Rumors of Demonic Conspiracy and Satanic Abuse in History.
Frankfurter guides the reader through such diverse subjects as witch-hunting, the origins of demonology, cannibalism, and the rumors of Jewish ritual murder, demonstrating how societies have long expanded upon their fears of such atrocities to address a collective anxiety.
Frankfurter draws on religion, sociology and anthropology to uncover the reasons that societies publicly raise cries of demonic conspiracies to explain various social evils.
Frankfurter convincingly demonstrates that demonic conspiracies and satanic ritual abuse are simply myths of evil conspiracies that provide societies an excuse for bullying those who are already considered suspect.

Frankfurter, a professor of religious studies and history at the University of New Hampshire, shows just how similar stories about evil have been over the years.
Evil, {Frankfurter} argues, is not something real, it is a “discourse,” a “way of representing things and shaping our experience, not some force in itself.”
Frankfurter seems to suggest that by calling anyone evil, we are simply tapping into the old imagined archetypes without explaining anything.
