JIHAD

The "NY Times Magazine" recently had a long article about mostly the 700 Brits that have gone to fight mostly with ISIS--the radical fanatics who personally, I think, will eventually overwhelme Iraq. 

A study group, that the article mostly profiles, basically says these youngster go to fight who have had every advantage British society can give them. They are mostly early twenties and thirties. The article especially showed the barbarism of ISIS. They clothed it all in religious terms. 

These youngsters are driven by a particular view of Islam. To them it makes no difference--they will continue to follow jihab because they have bought into it and it drives them. "You convert or you die." Think of a recentf event as an rxample. Migrants are on a leaky vessel escaping from tyranny, and yet along the way on this dangerous journey, the Muslims took time to throw twelve Christians overboard.
