The Myth of Muslim Radicalization
[SultanKnish] In the UK, Baroness Warsi, Cameron's biggest mistake, blamed Muslim radicalization on the government's refusal to engage with... radicals. Or as she put it, "It is incredibly odd and incredibly worrying that over time more and more individuals, more and more organisations are considered by the government to be beyond the pale and therefore not to be engaged with."The reason why the government is refusing to "engage" with these organizations is that they support terrorism in one form or another. Warsi is proposing that the UK fight radicalization by mainstreaming it. Mainstreaming extremism is also Obama's policy. It's the logic behind nearly every Western diplomatic move in the Middle East from the Israel-PLO peace process to the Brotherhood's Arab Spring. And these disasters only created more Islamic terrorism. The Muslim teenagers headed to join ISIS did not come out of a vacuum. They came from mosques and families that normalized some degree of Islamic Supremacism and viewed some Muslim terrorists as heroes and role models. It's time for Western governments to admit that the ISIS Jihadist is more the product of his parents and his teachers than of social media Jihadis on YouTube and Twitter. Radicalization doesn't begin with a sheikh on social media. It begins at home. It begins in the mosque. It just ends with ISIS. Posted by: Blossom Unains5562 2015-06-22 |
