Are Kenyan Muslims getting radical?

Issued on:

Last Sunday Kenyan police fought running battles with Muslim youths in the northern city of Mombasa, leaving casualties among the police and the youth. Why are many Muslims becoming radicalised in a country that had never experienced it until a few years ago? David Bwakali posed this question and many others to Muslim youths in Nairobi and to the Director General of the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims.
