In ISIS We Trust: Why Does Radicalization Still Matter?
Abstract
This chapter examines how the process of radicalization impacts the perceptions of individuals who adopted extremist beliefs to use political violence. The chapter seeks to determine if cognitive or religious imperatives occupy a central place in the motivation of individuals who become terrorists. The chapter theorizes these issues in the context of a field study that includes conducting in-person interviews with former foreign fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, indicating that their motivation to exercise violence has been a product of premeditated, rational choice that combines political with religious motivation.
