There is a concerted effort to indoctrinate these youths, and criticism against anything islam is not allowing this debate to be held.
See this article "Remove the Saudi influence from our mosques" http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws/regio/brussel/1.2507974 written by a female politician of Moroccan descent.
which realistically only 50% graduate from. Very naive to assume, that's not at all state funded educations fault. As if indoctrination wasn't part of that as well in the first place.

wat?
Also not quite sure I understand the argument against state funded education. Pretty much everyone in Belgium has a state funded education, myself included.
That's 50% of the university students, obviously, rough estimate.
The implicit statement that it is the students' fault, when their education goes wrong, implies that our educational system is otherwise perfect. I challenged that, not for the monetary aspect.
Abdeslam (the last terrorist from the france attacks) was arrested in Belgium 3 days ago and upon his removal from the area, youths gathered chanting his name and throwing bottles at the police combis. The national media chose not to cover this for the same reasons you laid out and it has caused a bit of a furore in Belgium.
The distinction between racism and the fight against bad ideas (religious extremism) is often blurred by both the extreme right and the left.
