Actually, from what I read, this mother is trying to educate other parents and concerned people in Canada about the dangers of radicalization of their you.
Frankly, I don’t find what she iterated and explained int the link to this story to be liberal pap at all. Maybe I’m just too old and stupid to understand, but it didn’t read like pap to me.
I recommend you read it again. There is plenty of pap in there for those who know how to recognize it.
For instance: “I have no doubt that Damian went to Syria committed to helping others.”
Really? If this is true, then the woman is too stupid to pour water out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel, never mind “establish...a group which supports families to assist with deradicalization...”
“Radicalization” is a red herring. Islam is the issue. “Radicalism” just means you got serious about following all the tenets of Islam.
You're not alone. Teens searching for an identity and place in the world are ripe recruits for Radical Islam. Good or bad, it offers them something to believe in, something to fight for. At a time when Western Civilization has become apologetic and emasculated, Radical Islam is passionate. They offer adventure in a foreign land, the opportunity to test oneself in battle, spoils for the victors. It's no surprise when confused Western youths gets swept up in this. As a parent, this is something we should all be concerned about. Eventually, my boys will be old enough to get a passport and a place ticket without my approval. I can only hope I've raised them to recognize when they're being taken advantage of.
You're right. This mother woke up late, way too late, but it seems like she's trying to do the right thing now.
Me neither! So it’s not just me. LOL
