Attraction of a single overarching narrative


"BARRETT: ...so I think the motivation for these new recruits is, you know, being wrapped up in this sort of single narrative, as we call it, that Al Qaeda puts out, that whatever problems you have, whether it's at school or in society or the way that you're treated perhaps by the authorities or the fact you haven't got a job, all that's part of a much broader conspiracy against your faith and your community and, therefore, you should do something to combat that."
