The radicalisation hypothesis steers us away from the real causes of terrorism – and enables the west to maintain its denial about a role in helping create it
The word “radical” has always been an overly capacious term, easily filled with whatever meaning the speaker wants to pour into it. There is the radical right, the radical left, even the radical centre, whatever that means. Traditionally associated with the 18th-century English struggle to extend the franchise and with the cause of freedom, it has been one of those words no modern politician can do without. Google any of the current crop of parliamentarians adding the words “radical vision” and see what I mean. They’re all at it, all claiming it. Unless, of course, you put the word Islamic first. And then it immediately becomes a bogey word.
“How do we stop young Muslims becoming radicalised?” is the question we now continually ask. But it’s a deeply misleading question because it points us in the wrong direction. Why? Because it contains a hidden assumption that it is radical ideas, specifically Islamic theological ideas, that are the root cause of turning a young lad from West Yorkshire into an Isis suicide bomber in Iraq. According to the radicalisation hypothesis, it’s conservative Islam and the dangerous ideas contained in the Qur’an that motivate murderous behaviour.

I disagree with writter
Blasphemous law creat the terrorist.
Why?
A hadiths urge Muslim to kill those who does not follow their belief and those who insult Islam or prophet Muhammad pbuh.
A hadith urges Muslim to kill apostate , those who convert other religion.
A hadith urges Muslim to kill homosexual or gay lesbian
Often we heart the extremist Muslim say that Muslim Syia is not Muslim, Muslim Syia insult Prophet Muhammad pbuh’s companions. Therefore extremist Scholars order Muslim to kill Muslim Shia as we see in Syria, Iraq, Pakistan n India.
So the root of violence and terrorist is come from the book of Hadith. No doubt at all.
I urge all Moderate Progressive Scholars to speak up loudly to reject the false Hadith if we really want to see the peaceful world.

Any Hadith contradictory to the Holy Quran should be given up. There were so many made up Hadith in the centuries that followed the Prophet Muhammad.

IS IT A GOOD NEWS FROM SAUDI
Indeed, M.B.S. instructed me: “Do not write that we are ‘reinterpreting’ Islam — we are ‘restoring’ Islam to its origins — and our biggest tools are the Prophet’s practices and [daily life in] Saudi Arabia before 1979.” At the time of the Prophet Muhammad, he argued, there were musical theaters, there was mixing between men and women, there was respect for Christians and Jews in Arabia. “The first commercial judge in Medina was a woman!” So if the Prophet embraced all of this, M.B.S. asked, “Do you mean the Prophet was not a Muslim?”
If MBS really want to reform The Islamic teaching, I will support 200 percent.
