(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /www/crimelog.it/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131I have just finished reading this article http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/06\/28\/world\/americas\/isis-online-recruiting-american.html<\/span><\/span> appeared on the NYT few days ago.<\/p>\n Going through the story, I noticed many intersting and meanigful elements which could well represent the procedure used by AQ and then ISIS to recruit new blood.<\/p>\n 1. “Look for people who are isolated and if they are not isolated already, then isolate them”. In fact, Alex, the 23-years-old girl come in contact with the Islamic recruiters, tells that “My grandparents – with which she lives – enjoy living in the middle of nowhere. I enjoy community. It gets lonely here<\/span>.” She has a little physical problem and a “persistent lack of maturity”, but the story does not highlight any effective d\u00e9faillance. Her daily life, instead, seems too empty for a young woman. She dropped out of college and works two days a week as babysitter and on Sunday as a teacher for children at her church. On the other days, “she spent hours<\/span> streaming movies and updating her social media timelines<\/span>“.<\/p>\n Key elements: loneliness<\/strong>, use of social networks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 2. A shocking event – the beheading of James Foley – pushs her to search information about ISIS on Twitter<\/span> as to “understand why they were doing it”. Surprisingly, she discovers that many people who openly identified as belonging to the Islamic State, took the time to politely answer her questions<\/span>. “One of the first relationships she struck up was with a man who told her he was an ISIS fighter<\/span> named Monzer Hamad, stationed near Damascus”. “Hamad instructed Alex to download the \u201cIslamic Hub\u201d app on her iPhone. It sent her a daily \u201chadith,\u201d or saying by the Prophet Muhammad. She felt as if she finally had something to do“<\/span><\/span>. “If before she waited hours to hear back from friends<\/span>, now her iPhone was vibrating all day with status updates, notifications, emoticons and Skype voice mail messages”.<\/p>\n “Roughly two months after she first began communicating with ISIS supporters, Alex asked to see the pastor of her Presbyterian church. She wanted to know whether the idea of the Trinity that Christians believed in \u2014 God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit \u2014 meant they were polytheists.Friendly at first, the pastor ushered her out after 15 minutes, telling her she needed to trust in the mystery of God<\/span>“.<\/p>\n
