This is horrifying beyond belief. And, no, what ISIS is doing is not comparable

[sub.theory]

133. How come so many recruits are from middle class western backgrounds then?

The argument that people joining ISIS are doing so because they are poor just doesn't hold up. There are thousands of young men from comfortable middle class backgrounds that are joining ISIS. These men are coming not from the third world, but from Europe, Australia, and the US. Many are college educated. Clearly there is some other draw. This makes many uncomfortable because the answer is clearly Islam. They are doing what they sincerely believe is devotion to Allah and are hoping to be eternally rewarded for it.

Is that fucked up? Oh yeah! It's beyond fucked up. But it's the truth and we had better start coming to grips with it. These monsters are not going to stop. Not ever. They are not going to be appeased. They are not going to tire out. They are not going to be deterred by casualties. This is holy war and they want martyrdom. They have plainly told us so. They openly declare that they seek to conquer the world, and in their fanaticism believe they will. They are incredibly dangerous, and sooner or later the fight is coming whether we like it or not.
