You cannot change what a person believes to be true but you can change how they get to believe what they believe to be truth. The transformation of jihadism in the Netherlands - Swarm dynamics and new strength — Dutch intelligence service, AIVD, September 2014 https://aivd.nl/publish/pages/2656/jihadisme_eng_definitief_b5_formaat_webversie.pdf The predicted clash of civilisations between Islam and Other due to diametrically opposed ethics regards Other and women is happening, it is not some fantasy tale. Globalisation combined with significant advances technological, industrialisation, transport and particularly communication in a relatively short period of time are having a multiplier affect on speeding up the level of violence inherent in such a conflict. Globalisation has provided altruistic cultural enforcers with the means to enforce via targeted actions internal and external alignment to core Islamic tenets regards Other and women. A nations borders now mean very little in controlling what happens within a particular space. But you have to start somewhere. More importantly is the associated drive for a political space by which such Muslim tenets may be more easily enforced. ISIS is nothing more than Islamic groups before it, as the Saudi and other Islamic based citizens have done in creating the reflected Islamic political space for such ethics to be enabled. To claim this is not so is a psychological impossibility for it determines ISIS members as being derived from a culture-less space. The attempts to create an Islamic alternative narrative to oppose such major schism has failed as it was always going to. The reason being the Islamic cultural codex determines such an attempt will be made and sets up the Islamic/Muslim justification for its rejection. The nature of the justification and the authorisation of extreme violence for Other attempting such an action are clearly set out in the Islamic codex. The Dutch intelligence service, AIVD has realised a truth dealing with the symptoms of cultural derived violence the individual adherent few terrorists ignores the fact she/he is not alone. The increasing momentum of Dutch jihadism poses an unprecedented threat to the democratic legal order of the Netherlands. — Dutch intelligence service, AIVD. For adherents unable or unwilling to join the armed struggle in Syria or elsewhere, social media offers a form of involvement that allows them to identify themselves as jihadists... without actually having to fight. After all, the movement also considers dawah -- preaching the call to Islam -- a form of jihad. — Dutch intelligence service, AIVD. Social media has made it possible for a person to go far more quickly from being a passive recipient of jihadist propaganda messages to a sympathizer and then a supporter... Some are also known to have been involved in atrocities, such as beheading prisoners... social media has changed the structure of the and cohesions of the jihadist movement... it has taken on the characteristics of a swarm (in the group behavior sense). — Dutch intelligence service, , AIVD The upshot of all this is that government attempts to tackle particular jihadist individuals or structures will probably have considerably less effect now upon the movement as a whole than they previously would have done. Particularly when they are one-off actions. The movement can only genuinely be disrupted, in a way that prevents the emergence of new guiding figures and structures, if such efforts are maintained over an extended period. — Dutch intelligence service, AIVD The Explosive Growth of Jihadism in the Netherlands by Soeren Kern November 2, 2014 at 5:00 am Gatestone Institute gatestoneinstitute.org/4835/netherlands-jihadism I agree. ‘Not Islam’. It is just not going to stand up to any reasonable evaluation as increasingly the broken bodies and lives keep rolling in. citizensfirstasnau.blogspot.au/2013/12/not-islam-it-is-just-not-going-to-stand.html And so does science. As an individuals behavioral variance is informed by genetic propensity, psychological experience, cultural model - codex ((con) textual and exemplar (messianic) templates) with psychological experience in the main determined by culture this frames a cultural behavioral variance based upon the cultural bounded rationality within which the individual adherent behavior is enabled or constrained. Therefore there will always be within any culture the very dedicated/pious-liberal-moderate-radical. As psychology informs us it is not the individual you have to worry about its the group becuase of tendency for group polarization to extremes and group think. Communities (cultures) tend to be guided less than individuals by conscience and a sense of responsibility. How much misery does this fact cause mankind! It is the source of wars and every kind of oppression, which fill the earth with pain, sighs and bitterness.
