ISIS - reasons why recruits join.

So, we finally have an authoritative study of the causes, justifications and motives of those joining ISIS. And it seems that religion is a major factor after all.

"Neither inequality nor poverty was a driver of involvement in violent extremism, and wealthier countries were more likely to supply foreign recruits for Isis. In countries with a large Muslim population, low degrees of religiosity, low levels of trust in religious institutions and strong government and social control of religion seem to be risk factors of radicalisation."
