The Brussels Bombings: How do we tackle radicalisation?

The Brussels Bombings raised once again the question, how do we tackle the radicalisation of some individuals?

As Nobel peace prize winner Malala Yousafzai once said, “With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism.”

These people weren’t born evil or violent, so how do we understand and begin to tackle what happens in the run-up to boarding a plane to Turkey, with the aim of reaching Syria? Frankly, if some politicians and so-called community leaders in places like Brussels had not placed those questions out of the realm of normal political discourse a few years ago then we might be in a far safer place today.

What is going wrong and what do we do about it?

After the latest attrocity in Brussels I put my thoughts in an article in the Huffington Post which you can see by clicking the link below.
