Imam Sohaib Sultan is the Muslim Life Coordinator and Chaplain at Princeton University, and in this op-ed for Huffington Post, talks about his role counseling college students, and says that many are “deeply disturbed” by all of the ongoing conflicts and great injustices they hear about domestically and worldwide. The imam makes a pivotal point that “this is where ISIS and the like are best able to strike — by offering simplistic but appealing answers and solutions to these questions and problem.”
Iman Sultan talks about realistic changes that need to happen to address these issues, and how the best solutions are open-dialogues with young Muslims and education. But above all, he says: “We must also understand the root causes of why individuals — no matter how few and far they may be — would even be attracted to ISIS or any other similar ideology.”
