DE-RADICALIZING (MUSLIM) YOUTH | TheGhouseDiary.com
Why do the American youth seek thrills in going to extremes? Usually they are loners and don’t have many friends… and seek thrills.. join the gangs, drugs and radical groups. Is James Bond their role Model?
Muslim youth are no exception, they are seeking the same as every other youth, most choose the right path, a few make mistakes.
Where do we find them, how do we reach them? How do we rope in those who don’t go to mosques, apparently less than a 1/3rd of the youth frequent the mosques about the same or less than the general population.
It is clearly not motivated by religion, even though they ‘use’ is as a vehicle to ‘satisfy’ their pent up frustrations or thrill seeking desires.
I NEED SOLUTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM THE YOUTH, IT IS NOT ABOUT RELIGION, IT IS ABOUT OFFERING – I HOPE TO HOLD A BRAINSTORMING SESSION.
ALTERNATIVES to keep them tied to good things of life.
