"I think signalling to your enemies what you are not going to put on the table is very very bad, both strategically and tactical errors by this administration," he said, adding: "We need to have all of our options open. For many Americans, of course, just the last thing we want to think about is more conflict in Iraq and what that might involve."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">On Friday a Defense Department spokesman said that there was "no indication" that ISIS militants had crossed the Mexican border into the US. Speaking on CNN, John Kirby said, "We have no information that leads us to believe that. That said, we do know they have aspirations to hit western targets and it’s something, as Secretary Hagel said yesterday, that we’ve got to take seriously and with have to try to be ready for it."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Islamic State (IS), formerly known as Isis, are different to Islamist recruiters of recent times, Farsi added. "What IS have manage to do is glamourise living in the desert with nothing, even Al Qaeda didn't actually manage to do that. The use of social media, infographics, Instagram. It connects with young people."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">That romanticism evaporates soon enough, but the recruits are too far gone to turn back by then, <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2730372/Why-British-jihadis-fighting-Syria-Iraq-vicious-SHIRAZ-MAHER.html" sl-processed="1" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_hplink">Maher wrote in the Mail. </a>"Any initial romanticism about an adventure in the desert, or early idealism about protecting Muslims, is quickly replaced by a pitiless inhumanity and a callous glorification of terror," he wrote "It is common to describe these young British radicals as ‘brainwashed’. But I dislike using that term because it far too easily absolves them of responsibility for their actions.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Speckhard says that social justice, just as it was for George Orwell heading to fight the Spanish fascists or young Brits volunteering to fight the Nazis, is actually a motivator for the Islamic State (IS) recruits, in their own twisted outlook.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"When they see terrible things happening they feel upset," she said. "If a group offers them an opportunity to respond and feeds them an ideology that tells them to do so via terrorism is the best way and conveys to them that they will win many rewards and a positive identity, if it impresses the women, leads to a belief that all wrongs will be forgiven, offers adventure etc. it all comes together to form the lethal cocktail of terrorism."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Speckhard said she believes most of the young jihadis know they will die, unlike many of the soldiers who signed up to fight in World Wars. She met failed suicide bombers who had entirely accepted the idea, they were "so unhappy in their lives that they preferred to go to a 'better place'."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">One quote that has done the rounds on Twitter, attributed to the BBC's Frank Gardner, is that the motivating factor for IS recruits is "<a href="https://twitter.com/sarah_birke/status/502001775780835328" sl-processed="1" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_hplink">not religion, not even territory, it's psychopathy</a>." But it's not really as simple as that, Speckhard says, saying the men are not mentally ill.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">IS is "euphoric with success" right now, she added. "There is high social support all resonating and interacting with the individual needs and vulnerabilities of potential fighters. When it all comes together boom—that’s the person who goes."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It can leave mosques and Muslim youth leaders feeling a sense of helplessness. Government cuts have played their part too, Mughal said. "We have to identify the families it could happen to, and look at what is causing their grievances," he said. "It costs money, but it can save lives. The best work that was being done, early intervention and youth engagement work, that has all been been cut away. Cuts have massively affected how we can challenge this problem."</span></div>

Two of his nephews went to fight in Syria, with one of them, Abdullah, killed in the conflict. Police, along with Mughal's organization, are working to try and prevent more of the family joining them.</span></div>

And once they arrive in the desert, the violence is already so normalised, it "snowballs" and peer pressure makes young men do extreme things they would never have expected.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The East London Mosque's Salman Farsi said that many of those who were drawn to extreme Islam were "thugs" who wanted to give their love of violence and intimidation a higher purpose. "In my experience of coming into contact with these troubled individuals, who have come to Islam while they were in prison or through unsavoury characters, they have always held on to part of their previous identity, their ignorance, their predisposition for violence," Farsi said. "They haven't let go.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"They use the religion to legitimise that anger and violence into hatred for individuals who are not now conforming with their new way of thinking, their new ideology." He cites the infamous "Muslim patrols" in east London where stickers appeared declaring Tower Hamlets a "gay-free-zome". "They were very hard for Muslim leaders to reach because of their troubled backgrounds," he said.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"When they see terrible things happening they feel upset," she said. "If a group offers them an opportunity to respond and feeds them an ideology that tells them to do so via terrorism is the best way and conveys to them that they will win many rewards and a positive identity, if it impresses the women, leads to a belief that all wrongs will be forgiven, offers adventure etc. it all comes together to form the lethal cocktail of terrorism."</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">It can leave mosques and Muslim youth leaders feeling a sense of helplessness. Government cuts have played their part too, Mughal said. "We have to identify the families it could happen to, and look at what is causing their grievances," he said. "It costs money, but it can save lives. The best work that was being done, early intervention and youth engagement work, that has all been been cut away. Cuts have massively affected how we can challenge this problem." </span><br />
