In a conversation with Arianna Huffington at the World Economic Forum, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg talked about what had moved her most while in Davos: the story of a mother who learned her son was a jihadist.
“I hadn’t really thought about the fact that these jihadists, who are committing such atrocities in the name of religious extremism, have mothers — and mothers who are grieving along with them,” said Sandberg. “That’s pretty powerful. To see these mothers interviewed and talking about the sorrow that their lives have become… I think every mother does the best they can, and no one thinks this will happen in their family.”
