"One way to look at it is they agree with the narrative that is being propagated by terrorist groups particularly around the victimisation and persecution of Muslims," he said.
"There is a really strong narrative that groups like [Islamic State] and Al-Qaeda use to recruit young Muslims: that you are a victimised minority.

The challenge is trying to produce a counter-narrative."
