| Summary |
Islamic State wants to recruit young, strong and fit Muslim men such as Tamerlan Ilyasov. He tells Dateline why he'd never join. Six of his friends, already lured away from their homes in Austria, are now dead. On Tuesday's program, Dani Isdale meets Chechen Muslims in Vienna concerned by the IS recruitment drive. They're refugees, who've been displaced from their homeland by war - many of their men have been killed - and that makes the younger generation a vulnerable target. "I would say I have other goals than killing myself," Tamerlan tells Dani. "And secondly, I would explain that this has nothing to do with Islam."The call to arms is being made through violent propaganda films that resemble popular video games, radical imams spreading their message in German and even face-to-face recruitment. "They are used as tools and sent out there to be slaughtered," says Tamerlan's grandfather and community elder, Huseyn Iskharnov. An estimated 170 radicalised Muslims have already left Austria to fight for IS, but he's fighting back to keep his community and its values intact. As Muslim communities across Europe and beyond face a similar dilemma, Dateline asks how teenagers can resist the call to jihad |
