To me ISIS recruiting is fairly brilliant because they aren't being particular in their behavior.
ISIS is basically giving out a get out of jail free card for the worst and angriest and stupidest in society
Can't get a job, come on over, we'll pay you
Want to kill people, come over we'll give you a gun and point you in a direction, and God will totally be on your side
Like having sex with little kids, pissed off that its "illegal" in your Western corrupt society. Come on over, its ok to be a child rapist here.
Can't get laid even if you were in a whore house with a million dollars in your pocket? Come on over we'll give you a wife after we beat and torture her to the point of subservience, Oh and when you get bored of her, its ok to kill her we'll give you another wife.
Want to serve a higher purpose and be a hero? Come on over and join our suicide specialists, you'll be a hero forever.
Can't travel, don't want to leave the comforts of Western society? That's ok, do our work from home, attain the perfect worklife balance by being an internet recruiter. Or pick up a rock or gun or bomb and kill some non believers.
I firmly believe that ISIS is a anarchists group that disguises itself in religious reasoning. But I have my doubt that its leaders, especially the ones that came from Hussien's upper echelon give two craps about Islam or its goal. Its about two things. Power and Money sorry three things if you want to add sex into the mix.
The whole, we want to bring on the apocalypse and fight the West here. That's just a recruiting poster for the true fanatical fundamentalists believers on the other side of the ledger that believe that Muslims need to fight and kill the west and stop their influence in the middle east.
This whole death cult thing could have been built with any number of different religions. How hard would it be for this to work for radical christians, because you can still recruit the mentally damaged to your cause int he same way. The bible says its ok to f children and murder in the name of god so come on over.
The real challenge would have been to start ISIS based on the religion of Thulsa Doom or whatever his name was from Conana the Barbarian. But at the end I firmly believe that it could be done.
Its just easier for ISIS to use the Islamic slant to recuit their key core guys because those crazies were already out there in numbers in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
