The current radicalization of the Islamic youth can be fixed by two methods;
1) Put investments on social and civic programs to get these kids good priorities, living standards, jobs, etc. it wouldn’t diverge much from the welfare state currently in place and can be just put as a strengthened policy for all disaffected youth.
2) Cut off funding for religious organizations from foreign sources. The areas that have issues with radicals also coincidentally have mosques funded by the Saudi government or other likeminded private donors. Keeping it local, or if you wish for the government to aide all religious establishments, prevents the strand of Wahhabism from entering Europe’s door.
Either way, this development is a nice one, only shame is that the tax should be higher and it should be a standard everywhere. Lord knows that the tax revenue generated here would be put to fine use away from these megachurches.
100% agreed. It bothers me that there are so many self-proclaimed 'liberals' out there providing political cover for theocrats under the guise of combating Islamophobia. A fear of the growth of fundamentalist Islam is a rational fear, just as much as with any other dogmatic belief system.
