On radicalisation

Goodness. A fascinating essay on a hugely complex issue. Very interesting indeed. Great link - thanks.

Enjoyed the art work as well.

Maybe a little off track but I am amazed by the change in meaning of the word "radical" in such a short time. It used to mean someone who had progressive, left wing views, now it is fundamental islamists.
