Not always the fault of the parents, read a story a while back about a Tunisian family that had a son that joined ISIS. They were middle class, and were well-educated, and despite all attempts he just got more radicalized.
We should stop treating it as just as 'religion' or 'terrorism' issue, and treat it as a mental health issue, as radicals like that shouldn't be out and about with a risk of harming themselves or others.
How governments tolerate radical Islamists out and about on ' religious freedom ' grounds is absurd. If a person walked through the street saying he would kill people (without a religious connotation), they would be given mental health treatment, not just jail.

You don't have to be 'insane' to be mentally ill. There is depression, PTSD and a wide range of other mental illnesses that can result in violence or self-harm.

Well, sometimes people are just insane. However, radicalization occurs and it is not a mental health issue necessarily. If you are born and bred with certain beliefs and are isolated from anyone who has differing beliefs, such as is the case in "tribes" in places like Afghanistan, etc., then that is just normal to you. Just as it was considered a religious ceremony to sacrifice human beings to a lot of ancient humans. They weren't all insane, although we cannot rule that all in all instances.

I think she means they are already living in a cultlike mentality as their "starting point norm."
No it's not normal to us. But if you live in that culture, where women can't even ask a man what time it is,
then it is easier to propagandize and exploit people in that culture of oppression.
the layer of cult-conditioning is not the same layer where mental insanity occurs.
So the layer of cultural oppression must be removed first,
before you can tell who is sane or insane underneath that mask.

Emily-----what are you saying? if you imagine that muslim girls in the USA
cannot ask a boy what time it is------you must be living under a rock. I believe
that your concept of oppression of women (which I do not fully deny) is the
BIG PROBLEM of Islamic practice and ideology------you are very confused.

I'm talking about in general, and was citing a Pakistani student of mine who got in trouble
for simple things like that.
Now in America, there is still the low self esteem that male manipulators take advantage of.
If you read about how girls get rooked into trafficking, that's how they do it.
And yes this type of trafficking happens in the US.
Hold on I will find the link to someone who got out of that, but explained how she got rooked in.
Here it is LIFE after Trafficking:

I spent nearly 8 years of my life living in Muslim countries, working closely with Muslim people, having them as friends, neighbors, colleagues and clients. Not one person EVER suggested I live by Sharia law or thought I should 'convert or die.' In fact, all of those countries had Christian churches for Christians to attend. Not one person in the nearly 8 years I lived & worked in Muslim countries, and I dealt with hundreds of people, thought I needed to follow Islam. You are, plain and simple, very, very ignorant.I agree with Delta that a moderate Muslim is still more hardcore than a moderate Jew or Christian. The problem is that Islam lends itself to brutality because Islam is the creation of a war lord and is inherently violent.You are speculating based on total ignorance of the situation. You know nothing about moderate Muslims. Nothing.500 people attended the Danish terrorists funeral....... all "moderates" no doubt
Moderateness is relative. A moderate Muslim is still a lot more hardcore than a moderate Jew or Christian. If you're running around in Syria fighting, you might be described as a moderate Muslim but everywhere else you're an extremist. If a Christian's doing that, they're an extremist Christian, not a moderate Christian.
Nut Job Christians like Westboro and those idiots who blow up abortion clinics, have no excuse and should go back and read the words of Jesus. There is nowhere in the NT where it says that everyone would have to follow Christianity until you get to the second coming at which point Jesus himself would put things in order. There is no place in the NT where Jesus held up hateful signs against gays and soldiers or blew buildings up.
The Jews seem to understand that what was appropriate 5000 years ago may not be appropriate today. They also understand that not everyone has to follow Jewish law,only Jews.
Muslims seem to think that everyone should follow Islam, Sharia law and should convert or die whether they want to or not.
