Radicalization is a process that pushes individuals to engage in violent extremism stated Ms. Nyambura. Having a critical mind is not wrong, Galileo for example was criticized by his contemporaries for his ideas especially on the rotation of the earth. Galileo was correct but he was condemned for it. Radicalization then depends on the period when an idea was being preached. It is difficult for a single situation to push an individual to adopt violent extremism. It is rather a series of events and situations that push an individual towards adopting violent extremism.
People with weak or lose family and social bonds are easily converted to become extremist. This is because they believe that such activities will bring meaning to their lives. They believe that the love which they were not able to receive from their families and friends will be given to them by the new family which is the terrorist cell.
