The tragic loss of children's lives and the bombardment of innocent civilians have led to a deep sense of victimisation among Muslims. I can see the extremist groups, especially the Al Qaeda, they have started exploiting particularly this attack and they are exploiting this attack to attract aggrieved Muslim youths. This is a strong element of the extremist narrative. Muslim victimisation is the heart of that narratives. This Gaza attack, they're capitalising on those issues to attract the youths to join the militant cause.
