Youths turning to Jihad because mainstream religion not ‘exciting’ enough – Welby

From The Telegraph-

Young people are turning to Jihad because mainstream religion is not "exciting" enough, according to the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The Most Rev Justin Welby told faith leaders that Britain’s religious communities must do more to provide an alternative to extremism which gives young people a “purpose in life”.


He also warned against being too quick to brand people and groups with strong views on religious matters as extremists.


Nothing will ever be achieved if the only conversations which take place involve “nice people talking to nice people about being nice”, he said.
