Why it's uncool to be an Islamic extremist
Like terrorism itself, fighting terrorism is a creature of fashion. The latest on the catwalk is ‘countering extremism'.
It is yielding negligible dividends. In some respects it is even counter-productive. It proposes cures for the flimsy rationale for people blowing themselves and others up – young Muslims being angry and liking the idea of al-Qaeda because of real or imagined inadequacies of Western foreign policy, discrimination in the job market, struggles to balance multiple identities. And so on.
