As a Muslim, this article is an eye opener as to how individuals become radicalised. Part of it is due to Terrorist publications, I don&#x27;t see why these articles&#x2F;magazines aren&#x27;t actively being taken down. Most Daesh foreign fighters were recruited through such channels as well.<p>The other part is unfortunately due to radicalisation by the FBI and other state agencies. Had this teen been made to work for an honest living — as he was trying to by working on a fishing boat, would he realise the value of life. And part of his personality seems odd as well, he&#x27;s hypocritical and blames his transgressions on western society whereas there are countless cases of individuals living a productive &amp; a peaceful life.<p>His parents&#x27; approach has been reactive instead of being preemptive. Had they known of him sneaking around and being with shady characters they should&#x27;ve had a proper intervention and led him on the right path.<p>Parenting is hard, and unfortunately this is a case of failed parenting.
