‘Huge problem’ with radicalisation of ‘teenage young men’

The Australian Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says there is a “huge problem” with the radicalisation of “teenage young men from a Muslim background”. “Our official education system tells them that the country is rubbish, it’s colonialist, it’s racist, it’s heteronormative, it’s sexist, all the rest of it and we’re surprised when they don’t believe in the place,” Mr Sheridan said. “This is a huge challenge for the national security agencies. “We’re a long way from working out how we deal with social media in this, and we’re a long way from having the kind of ethos and national morale that would attract people to our national story.” Mr Sheridan sat down with Sky News host Peta Credlin to discuss national security in Australia.
