Well, religion is a very overwhelming and compelling thing to many and when the book (the Quran) which is the basis of the religion, clearly and vividly demands that you kill all those who do not convert or obey their religious laws, it is no surprise when the followers rise up and start doing as ordered by their false prophet.

It's not that simple. In order to understand the behaviors,
we must isolate the key long-term motivators.
The DIFFERENTIATORS that lead individuals to ACTION.
There are other young Muslims who are sympathetic to ISIS crapology, but would not do the acts we witnessed in SoCal.
And then there are over a BILLION other Muslims who are non-violent and abhor what those 2 cold-blooded assholes did.
