Turn on msnbc.
Very interesting interview.
She's interviewing a young man from London named Sohail Ahmed who was young and radicalized and thought about carrying out an attack.
He chose not to.
Now he's educating people on what he thought and how we can help people.
He's also gay.
It's difficult to get me engaged, this is interesting.

To eradicate the issue is vulnerable to becoming an extremist. His radicalization was tied to him trying to get rid of his same sex attraction.

He has a perspective about radicalization that most of us would not be able to relate to, thus may not consider.
