ISIS Winning Recruits Throughout Western World

Saturday, 23 Aug 2014 04:21 PM

Between recruitment videos and social media, ISIS jihadists are working hard to recruit “soldiers” in the Western world, and their efforts appear to be succeeding, with recruits falling for the violent Islamist group’s influence in the United States, as well as in Europe, Canada, and other countries around the world, experts warn.

While there were some who were surprised to hear that journalist James Foley’s ISIS executioner spoke with a British accent, the man the British press has nicknamed “Jihadi John” is just one of thousands of people from Britian who have pledged their allegiance to ISIS, reports the BBC.

“John” leads the small cadre of British militants who are in charge of guarding hostages captured by the Islamic State. The hostages call them “John,” “Paul,” and “Ringo,” after the Beatles, the BBC’s Frank Gardner said.

But the British contingent isn’t limited to those three, reports USA Today. British law enforcement says there are actually more British Muslims fighting for ISIS forces than are in the British military itself, and the problem is growing.
