“People who have left the group talk about how a religious inspiration took them to ISIS. It was their feeling of being marginalized as Muslims in the society where they were living, and then buying into the promise of a caliphate and of a Muslim land that is governed as in the time of the prophet. I have yet to meet anybody, or speak to anybody, who was not religiously motivated at some level.” PeopleFeelingsInspirationLeftSpeakReligiousLevelsGroupsLandPromiseProphetBuyingMotivatedIsisMarginalized Author:Rukmini Maria Callimachi
