I'm not calling for censorship. I'm just pointing out that the continued existence of well-organized Islamic terror groups and State-sponsors makes it impossible to marginalize the radical ideologies that motivate so-called 'lone wolf' terrorists.
In Germany it's not as easy to come by. Because of hate speech legislation. That hasn't got anything to do with religion or something, just with inciting a crowd to take violent action or the possibility thereoff. Of course they can't police any corner where some preacher might lurk and there's still the internet.
But, as I said before, and I can't stress that enough. Secular as well as religious ideologies can serve and have served as a conduit to lure disenfranchised people in. It's just dependant on how susceptible the particular person is to any given message.
