@emptywheel @allthingshls@coracurrier that will likely change with time & all the media coverage of ISIS, > media = > recruits -
@selectedwisdom Tho it strikes me that some sig portion of Somali recruits are coming fr Somali community. @allthingshls@coracurrier -
@emptywheel@selectedwisdom@coracurrier The Shabaab cases I worked were all Somali descendants; as were 99% of the cases in other cities -
@AllThingsHLS Whereas at least 2 of the charged ISIS recruits are Euro-descent converts, no?

@emptywheel@selectedwisdom@coracurrier I believe so.
