Apr 26, (THAINDIAN NEWS) CBS’ news magazine “60 Minutes” is known for its interesting contents as well as rather unique style of investigation that almost always manages to keep the viewers glued to the television screens. Like most of the previous episodes of the news magazine, even last night’s episode was able to generate extensive attention among the viewers as it featured the former head of a radical Muslim extremist in conversation with CBS reporter Lesley Stahl.

In the latest episode of the CBS news magazine, the viewers got the opportunity to witness the discussions that the former member of the Muslim extremist group, Maajid Nawaz has with Lesley Stahl. One of the high points of the show turned out to be the segment where the Maajid Nawaz talks about a distinct ideology which he calls ‘the narrative’ which brings to light the perception that United States is considered to be at war with Islam as the country’s main mission is the destruction of the religion. The former extremist member also goes on to say that it is this ideology called ‘the narrative’ that is the prime reason which results in the escalation of the home-grown jihadists such as the incident where a United States army major went into a shooting spree in Ft. Hood.

The latest episode of the show “60 Minutes’ was successful in gathering attention among the viewers as they were able to get an idea about the what actually goes into the minds of extremists who declare war against the state in the name of jihad.
