I just wonder how much of the so call "radicalisation" is really disenfranchised youth? No job prospects, No ambitions, No positives that they can envisage..
And their "out" is this Islam State madness?
I am NOT excusing ANY of this barbaric stupidity..
But, we have to ask ourselves WHY the bloody hell these kids (yes KIDS!) are resorting to this crap in, what we believe, to be the best country on earth?

Very well put.
I think this is part of the answer, radicalisation through disenfranchisation.
Youth / young men looking for somewhere / someone to help them belong and feel valued.
The choice is ultimately barbaric and plain crazy.
