It is said that the main source of recruitment for the Islamic State, al-Qaeda and other terrorist and not necessarily Muslim groups is the disaffected youth. It’s not too difficult to see the attraction to a young, poor immigrant with scant education and without any real prospects in joining up with a band of people who travel around in armored vehicles, who do not follow any rules, who allow you to shoot other people, foster camaraderie and pay your expenses whilst doing so. It’s all a bit like a real-life video game. But it is clearly very wrong behavior.
