So perhaps the Islam isn't the problem leftists are correct despite the underlying anti human rights views that the surveys reveal.
How do you stop youth from feeling disaffected? Many of the ISIS recruits from Western nations have been previously well adjusted kids from well off families.

Many of these feeling of "isolation" are coming from conflicts that are occurring thousands of miles away.

I'm not trying to be jerk, but what you're proposing is far more easily said than done. Youth will always feel disaffected, and it's a question of what their outlet is.

We also should not be pandering to or appeasing terrorist groups.
