Part of the problem is that the young are passionate and ardent. They are therefore vulnerable to the 'teachings' of the terrorist cells apparently preaching hatred and murder in back rooms of certain mosques or houses. It must be quite exciting and even flattering to be given 'jihad' tasks involving danger, and requiring courage to undertake. You see this in student riots, the London riots, Punk rock twenty years ago etc etc. Disaffected youth will always be a good recruiting ground for evil. To counteract this there are already many organisations (of faiths and of none) who try to direct the young towards worthwhile activities. They need more funding and promoting.
