Fighting the Narrative

Really fascinating report on 60 Minutes this past Sunday, in case you missed it. (Which you probably did.)

At the heart of Islamic extremism is "The Narrative", an ideology that says that America is waging war against Islam because it hates Muslims. The Narrative once fueled Maajid Nawaz, a Briton and former Muslim extremist, who tells Lesley Stahl that he used The Narrative to recruit others. But no longer. Nawaz now wants to change the hearts and minds of young extremist by showing them the fallacy of The Narrative.
