A Jordanian woman who came close to joining the Islamic State group described a sophisticated 14-month recruitment process by the extremists that she said landed her in a secret ISIS compound in Turkey with dozens of other women.
Over the next few months, "they started sending me more than 200 videos full of killing and slaughtering," she said. "Finally, I started enjoying the killing."
If you get to that stage, being jobless isn't the only problem you have.
Maybe a bit. But a lot of the people who come from other countries are not desperately poor. A lot of Muslim unrest tho, is thought to be like this woman. Well educated but with no job prospects that match her education. Ie stymied middle class youth. That's in the ME. In the West it seems to be more alienation, or falling into crime and then becoming radicalized. Our Parliament shooter was like that. Mentally ill, but also looking how to get out of a life of addiction, going from a bad choice to a worse one.
And being real stupid. What's the point of a job and a house if they ask you to suicide or send you out as cannon fodder as they do with new recruits? And does ISIS really allow women to work?
I wonder if this is just part of nature's response to overpopulation, drive people crazy. Like the rats they used to study.

Lesson Learned: When we remake the Middle East in our image, it must have a social safety net.
DAESH feeds on poverty, much like gangs and cults.
