ISIS: More About Meaningless, Dysfunctional Lives Than Jihad – Imam Zaid Shakir
A Norway Town and Its Pipeline to “Jihad” in Syria
When a known group of young trouble-makers from a small Norwegian town stopped having run-ins with the local police, law enforcement authorities were relieved but unfortunately, this was short-lived. The boys had moved on from their dysfunctional lives in straight into the hands of ISIS henchmen in Syria. There, amidst the anarchic murder and destruction, most of them have now died.
Imam Zaid Shakir reflects on this deeply disturbing phenomenon in this video, courtesy of Al Madina Institute.
