I really hate when people make idiotic statements like this and present it in a way as if they are quite sure what they are talking about....people both white and black convert because they are unhappy with their lot in life.....they have a troubled history and are not able to compete well in the job market.......they feel left out and left behind...and so they seek something that will give them some meaning and power over their lives....and others..
First, think for yourself and stop repeating White House talking points. Second, you're wrong. Studies have been done on what kind of people are joining these terrorist groups and they aren't the poor, disenfranchised and jobless people Obama convinced you they are. The bulk of them are from from middle class families, some from wealthy families and a large percentage of them have higher degrees. I've posted these studies time and time again.
Bonus humiliation for Andrea.
Long before ISIS militants beheaded Christians on a Libyan beach last week, Nigeria’s Boko Haram was carrying out similar atrocities 1,500 miles to the south. Now that ISIS is operating in northern Africa, will the Syria-based organization join forces with the continent’s largest Islamist terror group?
Maybe not, say U.S. intelligence officials, and they suggest one obstacle is racism.
“The Arab world is incredibly racist,” explained a U.S. intelligence official. “They don’t see black Africans as equivalent to them.”
ISIS may show “affinity” with Boko Haram, said the official, “but they stop short of allegiance.” Moreover, said the official, while Boko Haram has in the past year released videos to show “affiliation” with groups like ISIS, there’s no evidence of either group sending members to fight with the other. And while Boko Haram has praised ISIS, and shown the ISIS flag in videos, ISIS has not reciprocated.
