Because they are morons, there's no other way to put it. Joining a group of militant people, who really have no intelligent justification for what they do is dumb, and is a cry for help.

It's not complicated at all. They truly believe they are joining the perfect Islamic society as described by Allah through Mohammad. That's it.

Honestly I don't know. But I have a theory. The success in ISIS recruitment is a failure of secularism. Instead of a spiritually empty life people would rather live with absolutes. Sometimes even evil is preferable to emptiness.

I heard about a mom who went with her toddlers because of how "protected" it is- for example, they wouldn't be exposed to things like bad language or sexual battery without severe consequences.

Why do otherwise rational people line up at the recruiters' offices after an event like 9-11? The answer to that question (if there is one) is probably the answer to this question too.

I think a lot of them just want to feel like they're "a part of something". Many of them are teens and young adults, like myself, and I can see the desire to want to feel like you're part of something - what I don't get is the total lack of morality.

Stupid people! Also I think the media, as usual, are blowing it all out of proportion. Two teenagers from the US does not make an army. Sex objects, bait, perhaps. Again stupid people!

Some people like death and killing. Most people make poor self destructive choices even though they know better. Destructiveness seems to be a personality trait in humans and most people engage in it in one form or another at varying degrees.

When you look at these people they are young, newly converted to Islam and I believe they are being brainwashed in local Mosques in all western countries. What turned kids into hippies? They are all looking for a version of nirvana.

ISIS makes the offer sound appealing to a young guy who is directionless. They say basically "get here with nothing more than the clothes on your back and every thing else you need will be provided for you, including a wife, if you wish".
