The Deutsche Welle (German) website reports today (June 25, 2011) that German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich urged the country's Muslim community yesterday to do more to prevent the spread of radicalization among its youth.
He told Muslim leaders at a three-hour meeting in Berlin that families must act early to prevent young boys from turning into jihadists.
"Neither the security authorities nor ordinary Muslim citizens can do much to help," when youths radicalize, he said. "It is up to the parents and the rest of the family to be observant about what their children are up to and how they are changing."
Friedrich added, "We want to stand up to the radicalization and misuse of religion together. All citizens of the country... must take on the fight against radicalism and terror."
