So instead of the troubled youth turning to gangs and guns, and drugs, we might have them turn to jihad instead. As more an more displaced Muslims move in to Western countries, tolerance will have to be realized. The more intolerance and hate, the more radicals that will be bred.


Exactly! Joining a jihadist group is like joining a gang: it provides you with a sense of community one might not feel in the greater society.In an odd way,this is actually healthy. Once a young person has been validated by their chosen set of peers, the gang or other group can be re-purposed towards more socially constructive ends. (Infamous motorcycle gangs collect toys for tots, former gang-bangers organize community gardens, etc.) Lone wolves, however, tend to be anti-social and act unpredictably, below society's radar.
