Yes, and a lot of them seem to be educated and relatively well off, so why they succumb to this pernicious ideology is even more bizarre. They are generally the ones who are smart enough not to want to blow themselves up but build bombs and get delight in others being blown up.
Are you saying those ISIS fighters born and raised in Lakemba weren't from a war torn, bomb crater suburb!!!

Which very true (psychos) for most societies and eventually those bogeymen are going to have a crack back with extreme prejudice. The difference is that the most dangerous nutjobs are the natural born ones who aren't responding to e.g. "being bombed", but take pleasure in an excuse to hand out punishment for the sake of it..... you know like Nazis and English soccer fans.
Ideology, yea, it's only Islam that taught them to play with bombs and kill people. It could not possibly be the fact that they don't like seeing their country being plunder and pillaged, their religion and culture being called evil.
So why aren't they out protesting against Bashar al Assad who is killing his own people, or is that OK with you as long as it's not the US doing it ?
In the meantime you could also have a go at Russia who is helping Assad commit genocide, but no , it's always the West who are the evil ones right ?
Actually, I'm curious how many other religions have killed so many of their own people in the name of religion in the modern era? I'm struggling to name one.

A former senior counter-terrorism official in Turkey has blown the whistle on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s deliberate sponsorship of the Islamic State (ISIS) as a geopolitical tool to expand Turkey’s regional influence and sideline his political opponents at home.
no but maybe we could start seeing Russia as an ally of civilisation vs our usual "USA friendly" Qatar, SA and Turkey...Ah well, US bombing raids on Istanbul coming up ?
Lu, READ the question.....
Can you name a religion that has killed so many of its own people in the name of that religion in the modern era? This century?
Islam cannot be considered iherintly evil, in my mind, but you've got to say that clearly its holy scriptures are open to some wide interpretation if killing your own is all right....
