Every path to radicalisation is different. But there are definitely signs that should alert you to look for advice. For example, these signs may include that your son or daughter …
- … calls you and old friends infidels.
- … is frequently visiting websites and videos of so-called “hate preachers” on the internet.
- … is giving up his or her previous lifestyles, such as hobbies, music, makeup, clothing, food.
- … is repeatedly saying that Muslims are oppressed all over the world.
- … is withdrawing from all family activities and avoiding his or her old circle of friends.
- … represents radical views and does not tolerate other opinions besides his or her religion.
