The seductive call of extremism will not be silenced with pleas to fundamentalist imams in European mosques to stop indoctrinating young Muslim men. Initiation into Islamist ideology needs to be countered by a much stronger initiation into the culture of democracy and its fundamental values – and by a much stronger affirmation of these values within our political discourse.
极端主义的迷人召唤是不可能通过恳请欧洲清真寺中的原教旨伊玛目停止灌输年轻穆斯林男性平息下去的。伊斯兰意识形态的召唤需要用更强大的民主及其基本价值召唤来制衡，需要用远为更强大的对我们政治制度中的这些价值的肯定来制衡。
