ExiledInIllinois Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Will be back in 6 months... Going to be a hero! Another one from the annals of WTF?: http://www.koat.com/national/3-girls-sneaked-off-and-tried-to-join-isis/29270418 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I was a bit surprised at the "sense of belonging" component of ISIS' appeal described in the article. Does an organization currently specializing in beheadings truly emit that warm fuzzy sense of comfort that appeals to a social isolate? On the other hand, ISIS would appeal to those looking to get back at the world for perceived social injustices. The "I hate all of you" crowd might fit right into one of those pictures of several hundred scruffy folks brandishing weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would take long for those 3 girls to have a "sense of belonging" once the ISIS clowns got their hands on them. They'd certainly belong to someone.
