Islamic Radicalism

Olivier Roy on "Islamic radicalism"

Some good points, but the title of this interview smells bad.

I think Roy dealt with some areas of the subject.

"The root causes are still there". I don't think he has elaborated on these root causes.

"Radicalism", it seems, does not apply to the "Western" states. There are a few  political, economic and cultural features which characterise some Western states as "radicals".

I wonder what Roy thinks of the structural violence of the state (Karen Armstrong). 

I am a "radicalised" person, but not for the reasons he thinks. Was it just that one day, I got up and wanted radicalism as Roy says? That's nonsense, I'm afraid, and he would make a very bad doctor.
