I'd argue young muslims in Western countries are more vulnerable to radicalisation due to the lack of resources to learn about their religion in their own countries, especially if they're from fairly secular families. This "us vs them" mentality towards muslims a lot of poorly educated idiots like some of the people on this thread are spreading is exactly what makes them feel unaccepted and isolated in their countries. That's exactly what these recruiters target. We're seeing more and more converts choosing to align themselves with radicals. It's not immigration that's the problem, their families don't want to see their sons and daughters supporting this crazy ****. Many of them are leaving their countries because of the same kinds of radical ideologies spreading
