British Prime Minister David Cameron is launching a five-year plan to defeat radical Islam, saying it's time to counter the ideology attracting so many young people to ISIS.

"You won't be some valued member of a movement. You are cannon fodder for them. They will use you," he said. "If you are a boy, they will brainwash you, strap bombs to your body, and blow you up. If you are a girl, they will enslave and abuse you. That is the sick and brutal reality of ISIL."

Cameron also said young Muslims should feel like they have a stake in Britain.

"There are so many strong, positive Muslim voices being drowned out," he said. "Ask yourself, how is it possible that when young teenagers leave their London homes to fight for ISIL, the debate focuses on whether the security services are to blame?"

Thousands of Muslims have left Europe to fight with or support radical Islam in Syria.
