Guardian: Young Muslims have told politicians at a meeting in Bradford to discuss radicalisation that they feel increasingly demonised and isolated.
MPs and around 70 young people aged between 16 and 25, representing Muslim communities in Bradford, Leeds and Dewsbury, met in a hotel for the two hour Big Conversation event.
Organised by the home affairs select committee it was the first of its kind with three more planned later in the year in Manchester, Birmingham and Cambridge. It was held in a bid to “open dialogue” with young people from Muslim communities.
Bradford has made national headlines in recent years with families being reported as going over to Syria to join Islamic State and it being the home of 7/7 bomber Shehzad Tanweer .
