How to keep young people from turning to ISIS?

...in poor countries maybe. What you should be looking at are stats for religiosity among young people. More and more young people do not identify with a religion. Those young people today will be our leaders in 10-20 years.

Go to South Carolina, Alabama, etc and tell them that!
 
Any rebellion which is idealized/organized/operated/maintained by foriegners its an invasion not a rebellion...

Any civil war which invilves mostly foreigners is not a civil war but a foreign invasion only difference is a lack of uniforms... same people same weapons etc.. just no official markings
 
I suspect NATO leadership is publicaly angry at turkey for not stopping ISIS from crossing into syria from turkey... but privately pressuring turkey to maintain a blind eye... How else would the justify ridiculously large military spending

Here it is capitalised YOUNG.

Reason I mention this is that in 10-20 years those older folks clinging to their outdated forms of idol worship will have less influence over the young. I absolutely believe that the ones to blame for these current problems are mostly old ****ers with axes to grind using the easily swayed and easily influenced to carry out this ****** deeds. When there's less of those old evil ****ers, there will be less of the young evil ****ers.
 
Lets look at the facts ISIS is the justification for no cuts in military spending while in a austerity situation... Exactly how many attacks has isis itself carried out outside of Syria and iraq

Depends if you count those allying with the group. It's like Al Quaeda...I don't actually believe there's one single group called Al Quaeda, just tons of nutbars tagging along for the infamy.

Remember ISIS is the boogeyman... the answer is a big zero.... as far as alqaeda is concerned.. isnt israel providing medical aid inside israeli controlled golan to alnusra fighters (syrian wing of alqaeda) also attacking syrian forces who come close to alnusra with fighter planes/ attack helicopters.. as well as providing intelligence on position of syrian and syrian coalition forces through israeli drones... so cant count alqaeda with out sanctionig israel...

Taken from a Telegraph article: "Their growth reflects a rapid shift in attitudes towards religion in America among young people, with one recent Pew poll finding that more than one third of Americans aged 18 to 29 now say they have “no religious affiliation”, compared with less than 10 per cent of their grandparents’ generation."

That's a significant growth trend over a reasonable time period.

"What this means for American 30 years from now is unclear, admitted Dan Linford, the president of the Virginia Tech freethinkers and a graduate student in the philosophy of religion, but he believes that gradual trend towards more openness about religious non-belief will bring social change, just as it has for gays and lesbians.“At present the Religious Right has a tremendous amount of power, but they are getting older,” he said. “Surveys show young Americans are rejecting institutional religion because they identify it with the Religious Right and values that they find off-putting, and frankly, immoral.”
Other studies have argued that the polarisation of American politics has turned off many young people from institutional religion since Republicans, who fare poorly among young voters, have been conflated with religious groups considered “judgmental, homophobic, hypocritical, and too political”.

Interesting quotes again. This is just one article but there are many. Have a rummage and see. I don't discount what you say about the rise of Islam globally, but in the west the trend among YOUNG people is the one of no religious affiliation.

3 states out of how many? Plus how many of those are likely to be our leaders of tomorrow. The trend is towards no religion among the young....and it's growing.

I think they are expecting such views and probably will try to engage in the conversation instead of avoiding or fighting it.

Glad to hear they'd take the same approach as sonny,myself, and a few others in this thread take in providing our opinions and supporting evidence when attempting to engage the deniers herein.
