According to Esposito, most individuals who decide to fight for ISIS are not particularly religious. He cited a recent study that showed those with well-established religious identities are less inclined toward radicalism. Indeed, Esposito noted, Islam for Dummies and the Qur’an for Dummies are two popular books that young men purchase before joining ISIS.
Rather than religion, Esposito said, it is social and political grievances that radicalize individuals. Indeed, he pointed out, in most beheading videos, ISIS jihadists do not speak at length about religion, but rather express moral outrage, or indicate a lack of belonging or purpose in life.
Miles noted that there is also an economic incentive to join ISIS: they are the highest paying militia in Syria. It has been reported that ISIS pays its fighters $400 a month.
