- Authors
Franz, Barbara
- Abstract
The article looks at the reasons of young European Muslims for joining the Islamic State (IS). Topics discussed include why cohorts of European Muslim youth engage in jihadi tourism by focusing on media recruitment and personal contacts to imams, the ethnic and geographic roots of arrested radical Salafite imams and the factors that cause young people's susceptibility to IS and jihadism such as experienced traumas and the absence of father figures from their lives.
