Forskning fra Kings College i London peger overraskende på at det blandt muslimer er de unge,engelsktalende, under uddannelse og dem med penge på lommen, der er mest radikale islamister.
Voldsomme livsoplevelser, angst og depression spiller tilsyneladende ingen rolle for selvradikalisering
Undersøgelsen :
Is Violent Radicalisation Associated with Poverty,Migration, Poor Self-Reported Health and Common Mental Disorders? Af Kamaldeep Bhui, Nasir Warfa og Edgar Jones Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, Queen Mary University of London, London, King’s Centre for Military Health Research, King’s College London,United Kingdom
Results:
2.4% of people showed some sympathy for violent protest and terrorist acts. Sympathy was more likely to be articulated by the under 20s, those in full time education rather than employment, those born in the UK, those speaking,English at home, and high earners .(£75,000 a year). People with poor self-reported health were less likely to show sympathies for violent protest and terrorism. Anxiety and depressive symptoms, adverse life events and socio-political attitudes showed no associations.
Conclusions:
Sympathies for violent protest and terrorism were uncommon among men and women, aged 18–45, of Muslim heritage living in two English cities. Youth, wealth, and being in education rather than employment were risk factors.
