Like I mentioned before people with guilt tend to do impulsive things, is it really a coincidence Isis fighters are former partiers,alcoholics, drug users, rappers and those following an "urban" lifestyle?Why do people think jihad is a shortcut to heaven?Perhaps those jihadis feel ashamed about their prior sins and want a shortcut to heaven.
Do you think leaving your family and your comfortable life to a distant life full of hardship and uncertainity is easy? Do you think constantly being under threat of drones and intelligence agencies is easy? Do you think entering into the fray of battle where death can be imminent is psychologically simple? Do you think losing your comrades right in front of your eyes is easy? Do you think sleepless nights and constantly being on gaurd is easy?
Yeah I'm sure all that is a shortcut to heaven unlike sleeping in your Western silk beds and eating Honey- o - Cheerios watching sunday cartoons is difficult.
Guilt and fear can convince many people to do a lot of things.
Jihad is not easy but it's not always the only option. and is ISIS struggle truly a jihad, Isn't there more pressing matters in the region, for example the occupation of Palestine?
