They commit these atrocities because it makes it easier to recruit every psychopath with murder fantasies who's a loser in life who dreams about raping little boys or girls in the name of god, and every loser that needs someone else to tell them what their religion means, and that its the easy answer to the fact that they're a failure in life.
They know that the Western powers don't want to fight a ground war, it emboldens them, they can weather air strikes.

I don't buy that these recruits are psychopaths, at least not to begin with. Most of them come off as pretty ordinary youths, rebellious, but easily led while looking for some meaning in their lives. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any sympathy for them once they've crossed that line but to brand the recruits as psychopaths, is a bit much.
