Youths turning to Jihad because mainstream religion not 'exciting' enough – Welby Faith leaders failing to provide a dynamic alternative to the "evil temptations" of extremist groups, says Archbishop of Canterbury
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.
