While I'm on the subject: Germany has a radicalization hotline, that people can call and report any person they fear is about to be radicalized. Know what the most common caller is and who they report? Mothers reporting their sons. It's the same shit that's in this speech, just for a new age.

Who do you think should be the most common caller? Colleagues? It's none of their business if one of them goes to listen to some imam after work. Fathers or friends, maybe?

A mother-child relationship is the strongest interpersonal tie in our society, so what you describe is not surprising at all. I bet it's also true for rehabs and mental hospitals.

That's a very powerful statement. I'd love to see some kind of source for it so I can repeat that myself.
It's in German but just feed it to Google translate or something: m.morgenpost.de/politik/article206703521/Radikalisierungs-Hotline-beraet-immer-mehr-Angehoerige.html
