I'm trying to empathise with them... I get why people become radicals of other kinds... but saying no music, no sex, live by the book, behead those who disagree... what part of that makes people think "I want to get into this, this sounds fun"?

The Arab world has valid grievances, which motivated 9-11 for example, but there's more to it than that.

Why the fuck were there so many euro teens falling for fukcing ISIS groomers in the 2010's?

been a while since i read about those kids, but wasn't it a combination of the usual teenage angst, the extra ostracization of eu-cool being shit to muslim immigrants, and romanticizing of the most extra version of their religion?

It's still fucking stupid from a mile far

Like, if they were just doing terrorism in euro countries in payback for mega-terrorism and colonization, OK, kinda understandable. But further destabilizing under-western-attack countries while doing civilian massacres, where the fuck do you square the liberation there? Or destroying/looting cool archaelogical shit from pre-Islam millenias?

yeah idk. there are women into that tradwife shit too and those reactionary christians are only separated from terrorism or destroying "pagan" artifacts by the frequency of deeds.
