They are brainwashed into doing these deeds. Not to say that is the case in all circumstances. But if you have little in life and no hope for a future, you are the type of individual these terrorists fish for. They pray on emotional vulnerability, offering a false sense belonging and purpose to these poor kids. They offer the illusion of becoming a martyr for a glorified religious movement with great rewards in the hereafter and play that against the victim's hopeless current life. Insidious!
