Description
What attracts thousands of young men and women to join an organization that ruthlessly murders - in the most gruesome possible manner - anyone who disagrees with it? Does ISIS believe it can defeat America, or are its objectives even broader in scope? Students will learn about the formation of ISIS, where its leaders and philosophy come from, and how it attracts new adherents. We will learn from ISIS' own words what it sees as its destiny, why it attacks Europeans and Americans, and how efforts to defeat it have and have not worked.
