Half the people in ISIS seem to be middle class kids from England and Australia, raised on rap music. Should we blame rap music? [/quote]

I'd love to see your source on that.

Not addressing the raised on rap music obviously, but I am watching NBC Nightly News and they just reported that ISIS has between 7,000 and 12,000 foreign fighters, including hundreds from Europe. [/quote]

Well that s  a long long way from half. [/quote]

I'm not the person who said "half the people", but that's obviously a figure of expression.  And I do think hundreds of Europeans in a group like this is shocking and hugely problematic, especially given the ease with which Europeans can come to the U.S.[/quote]

I am the rap poster. It was tongue in cheek.. Though one of the self admitted Isis terrorists is in fact a British rapper turned terrorist. The point of bringing up rap is there is a group of young second generation Muslim immigrants in France, Britain, Holland etc. Searching for an identity..they try mainstream , don't get whatever validation they seek and turn to butchery..yes, half is a figure of speech. The leadership appears to be foreign. In my booked, that counts for more than half.

Fine but then obviously rap music is not the cause of ISIS, which was the logic of that poster.

The fact is that if an extremist movement starts, a limited number wackos from countries all over the world will join in.  Hell, remember Jose Padilla.  He was a member of the Latin Kings, and yet he got involved with Al Qaeda.

The two things we can do to avoid the problem, which we refuse to learn are:

1.  Do not do things that cause extremist movements to start.
2.  Where extremism starts, do not get involved unless we absolutely have to, because we then become one of their targets.

There are about 190 countries in the world, most of them peace-loving and at least a baker's dozen capable of fighting foreign wars, plus the UN umbrella.  The Middle East problems don't need to be our problems.[/quote][/quote]
