The seminar will explore why young people being brought up in African and Caribbean churches are converting to Islam and embracing radical ideology. The seminar is being convened in response to the brutal murder of Drummer Lee Rigby, by two converts to Islam originally of Nigerian Christian heritage. Similar other cases of terrorism and manslaughter have been occurring during the past years by these groups. Members of the African and Caribbean Christian communities in Britain fear a trend towards the radicalisation of former Christians and warn that terror groups are deliberately seeking to recruit vulnerable young men. "We need to understand how to help steer young people away from destructive, radicalised lifestyles; as well as to uncover what churches need to do better in areas where we may have failed young people in the past." christiantoday/article/church.seminar.to.address.radicalisation.of.british.african.and.caribbean.youths/33159.htm
