Learning about the Islamist Mindset.

Spiegel Online interviewed a former Islamist on their mindsets. Perhaps we already know what fosters radicalism, whether its alienation, violence against Muslims or just religious perversion. The interview with Ghaffar Hussain a former member of Hizb ut-Tahrir explains what may radicalize Muslims. In Europe many young Muslims feel marginalized and do not feel connected with their society or with their parents generation. Like a reason why people join gangs, they want to belong feel a part of something. Many conservative and extremists Muslims preach about the idea of the Islamic nation and that it should be united and strengthen. They show violent images of attacks against Islam or Muslims and our taught that they should fight against them. The West has corrupted most Muslims and they should not follow their example, for they are not real Muslims. Its a very interesting interview and has references on how to deal with this issue.
