I’m guessing unit cohesion from mutual belief in an extreme fundamentalist religion, lack of fear from the same, and horrible torturous death for not doing as commanded.
- freedomben 8y agoI would agree, tho I'm not an expert in this area but have studied it in the past. It's difficult for non-radicalized people to understand the mindset of a radicalized religious person (not limited to Muslims). Their belief is truly powerful enough to overcome the innate human fears and drive for self-preservation that we all have. It's both admirable, amazing, and terrifying at the same time. The threat of extreme tortuous death at the hand your own group is also a strong motivating factor that keeps people from defecting should their faith wane or fail them. They typically witness the horror of torture first-hand, and don't want any part of that themselves.
