Mutual contempt between natives and Muslim youth generates radicalization.

Evidence

As two scholars of Muslims in Europe put it, “many young Muslims are increasingly alienated by an aggressively secular culture that enforces liberal transgression of moral norms and taboos.” 12 Indeed, it is precisely the combination of native indifference to or contempt for Muslims and Muslim distaste for contemporary European lifestyles that many observers and scholars argue has created a generation attracted to radical Islam. — Michael A. Reynolds and Thomas D. Grant, The Future of Europe and Its Muslims, 106
