The only thing they have in common with them is religion.

To some, this is more significant than being from the same nation.
The Jewish may have a thing or two to say about that also.

IS are Shia Muslims? You what?

I must stop skim reading. From the Beeb: Pursuing an extreme form of Sunni Islam.

How does that detract from my argument? Whether people are linked by blood is irrelevant. If they feel kinship then, they are kin.

i agree. they 'kin murdrous criminals

[wonderboy]

Kin?

I think you are the one being purposefully obtuse.

Are you being purposefully obtuse? I presume you were awake when Libya/Palestine/Iraq/Afghanistan occurred within the last 10 years?

If anything is going to send young men to violence it could well be the unimaginable violence inflicted on their kin in those countries by Apache gunships and depleted uranium.

I cut myself shaving on the first night. Problem solved.

Giving yourself a Brazillian?

This ISIS/IS are supposed to be Shia Muslims, which only accounts for 5% (stand to be corrected) of worldwide pop. but Muslims from UK are going to fight for the cause, but they would be Sunnis?

I saw a IS propaganda video yesterday on the news showing a load of Yazidis who have supposed to have "turned" to Islam. When you have a number of Kalashnikovs pointed at you, there isn't much you wouldn't do.

I don't want to understand them so as to treat them with kid gloves; it's simply to work out how to prevent more kids going that way and what needs to change to prevent it. It might also be worthwhile finding out what their fears are, seeing as they don't seem to be afraid of dying. In my mind, they're murderous criminals, but that doesn't make them less important to understand.
