Many IS terrorists originate from Europe and North America, with recruiters taking advantage of the economically marginalised. In Tunisia, 90% of recruits are from marginalised neighbourhoods. Over half of the Tunisian population is aged under 30, and 40% of them are unemployed. In Jordan, 70% of the population is under 30 and 1/3rd of them are unemployed. It’s no coincidence that IS is building networks in marginalised neighbourhoods, towns and refugee camps across Europe - something that Al Qaeda had never even considered. ‘The government is not hiring, and no companies are investing’, explained a young man. ‘We can spend the rest of our lives in limbo or earn a living wage as part of their caliphate.’
