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.

    I don’t think many true radicals do it because it “sounds fun” perhaps you’re confusing your ability to empathise with non-muslim radicals with actually understanding them?
