it really does. i think social media cuts both ways. isis is effectively using social media to show horrible things they are doing to motivate people who might follow them. but it is extremely to focus on how people come together during these times. the vast majority of all people, muslims or non-muslims, are absolutely opposed to anything like this and want to help people live their lives and feel their kids are safe. in times of duress appealing to our better self is a lauderdaliblaudable thing. and it happens a lot. all the more reason to mention it. guys, thanks for your time. coming up, ted cruz just made people like him a little less if such a thing is even possible. i ll complain cross examioming .
catch those folks, and our resources, do we do we distract from the real battle at hand? this guy claims to be part of something bigger but seems to be not a part of anything other than his own twisted ideology. the real question is why is he out on bail more than did we get the terrorism thing right. it is difficult to parse the sex appeal that is drawing in lots of people with isis, people with western passports could come home and do things and it is hard to extract that out from what could be a emmanuel sikosi this. what needs to happen is an approach, socially, figuring out what is motivating young people
saudi arabian flags and on flags across the world. in and of itself doesn t mean anything but in the context of being use in battle fields it now connotes a different region and obviously people who cover that region now now what it symbolizes. that s why once that flag emerged on the window being held up by the hostages it gave this incident, this attack today, a very different level of concern, obviously for officials. because obviously the first thing people thought this was going to be terrorist related in the sense it may have been isis and what he demanded an isis flag that raised those concerns more. but again we re hearing this might have been an isolated individual.
the individual acted alone with out association to isis or other terrorist groups. yet isis has called for acts of terrorism around the world, what is plate for isis in moments like this, where there is a tenuous connection between this act of violence and isis and its message. does isis claim solidarity with this. most likely they will. we have seen isis be very opportunistic in seizing any opportunity to take credit for acts of terror and violence throughout the world. they have called for lone wolf attacks and that clearly falls in that category. one of the reasons this story gained a lot of traction is because folks don t understand the radicalization happening in
in places like australia or the united states to join these guys. that s a good question. in terms of motivating young people in this part of the world the circumstances are different than in the middle east economically. what do you see as the main drivers of extremism. isis has been very good at playing up any grievances and essentially being one-stop shopping for any angry or simply out of work or disgruntled youth and not so young as well. the perpetrator in sydney for example was not that young. he had already been repudiated by those in the community a long time ago, she reathey reached o the police a long time ago. he had just became a
