Extremism

BBC Local Radio - Manny Masih, Extremism

Manny hears from a group working with Muslim women to stop them being radicalised.

As another family from London are arrested heading for Syria, Manny hears from a group working with Muslim women to stop them being radicalised.

While thousands of people are leaving Syria to come to Europe, there are still a handful heading the other way - including women and children from Britain.  This week a mother from London has been arrested after trying to take her four children into Syria through Turkey.  It's thought more than 40 women and girls have travelled to Syria from Britain in the last year.  Efforts to stop them are being made a a local level - through groups like Inspire - based in Bristol, which is working with Muslim women to try and stop them being radicalised.  Plus we head to Bristol to hear about an event discussing the Kashmir conflict which has been going on for over sixty years.  Plus we'll hear about the television show "Bollywood and Beyond: A Century of Indian Cinema" which goes out on BBC 4 this Sunday.
