Leo Hohmann, writing in World Net Daily, cites among other sources a long article in The Atlantic by Graeme Wood about "What ISIS Really Wants." Hint - it's not jobs:
"Rather than viewing ISIS as an irrational group of lunatics seeking international media attention, Wood opens his Atlantic piece with this chilling statement:
'We can gather that their state rejects peace as a matter of principle; that it hungers for genocide; that its religious views make it constitutionally incapable of certain types of change, even if that change might ensure its survival; and that it considers itself a harbinger of—and headline player in—the imminent end of the world.
'…In fact, much of what the group does looks nonsensical except in light of a sincere, carefully considered commitment to returning civilization to a seventh-century legal environment, and ultimately to bringing about the apocalypse.' '

In other words, these guys are the rough Arabic equivalent of the Japanese kamikaze pilots of WWII - they see themselves as divinely-appointed to usher in the Apocalypse and the return of the Mahdi, who is their anti-matter opposite of Christ. To think that some community action programs, job vouchers and food stamps are going to bring about a change of heart in these guys is at best naive and definitely extremely dangerous to Western society. These guys are playing a strategic, religiously-motivated game of murder and mayhem and Obama is playing Candyland. It's time to get in the real game. Europe is already beginning to understand this.
