        Does he say that they aren't religiously motivated? My take was: they are drawn to particular ideology for underlying reasons.

        ie. a devout Muslim with a pre-existing interpretation less susceptible than someone less devout desperate for meaning/purpose

        If they aren't already a Jihadist, I'd say they are unlikely to spontaneously become one overnight.
