Explain why some modern youth in north africa and southwest asia are increasingly attracted to extremist groups.

These two places have quite a lot of extremist groups as is. They are also under developed places where there is little to nothing that they can depend on for survival. This seems to be a serious problem within the area, because although there are many prayers and hope for a better solution, they eventually become desperate to have better lives. As young people become desperate and depend more on other things than their religion, they can end up in these groups. Young people in a community like this are easy to manipulate. Which eventually could even cause violence, problems, and / or death.
