What galls me is that those moderate Muslims do not stand up to be counted.
They do not appear to be making any kind of stand against this brand of Islam.
The parents of a young man who went to fight and was killed seem to think it was the responsibility of the government to step in and stop their son from going.
If this young man was radicalised by the Mosque or the madrassah then wouldn't his family have know this?
Or maybe he wasn't radicalised in that way.....maybe it was through watching internet stuff....but don't parent have some sort of responsibility in all this?
Yes, I do know that you cannot be in your children's lives 24/7.......but surely you can give them the moral compass to guide them.
