Very interesting christian fighters in ISIS


While most of the Islamic State terrorist organization's foreign fighters come from Muslim backgrounds, a terrorism expert said Tuesday that jihadi recruits hailing from Christian families are among the most ferocious fighters the militant group has to offer.

During a meeting held by the United Nation's Security Council's counter-terrorism committee that focused on foreign terrorist fighters, Scott Atran, the co-founder of Oxford University's Center for Resolution of Intractable Conflict, explained that ISIS has a "revolutionary pull" that is capable of attracting more than just muslims

The religion-based ideology that we're not supposed to mention because it may hurt people's feelings is very effective in their recruiting, helped by those in America who willingly spin and deflect for them for fear of hurting their feelings or making them angry.

As U.S. intelligence assessments from September indicate that ISIS has recruited over 30,000 foreign recruits to travel to Syria and Iraq in the last year, Atran stated that as many as 75 percent of IS' foreign fighters were recruited to the region by friends.

Meanwhile, 20 percent of IS' foreign fighters were recruited through family members, while only on rare occurrences have foreign fighters been recruited through anonymous strangers or recruiters.


for the math challenged, that's 95%


Atran added that a chunk of foreign recruits are even converts from Christianity or individuals from Christian families who were enticed to join the cause.
