- The problem is not that foreign charities directly subsidize jihadi activities, but that they promote a highly aggressive ideology with a political agenda, whose followers are more likely to take the next step into violent action.

France is taking steps to de-radicalize its mosques in the hopes of preventing the radicalization of its Muslim community.
