Isn’t radicalisation simply a result of foreign policy?
Foreign policy grievances are among the most common grievances for recruiters to manipulate to further their own ends, however other grievances are also important – such as experiences of racism and other discrimination. Ultimately, for somebody who has adopted an Islamist ideology, foreign policy and other grievances are merely consequences of a perceived wider grievance that is the absence of an ‘Islamic state’. Poor foreign policy decisions may, therefore, provide more material for recruiters to manipulate. This is why Quilliam has criticised certain aspects of British foreign policy, for example Britain’s inaction over the 2009 Gaza crisis.
