It was my impression at the time. I have no idea if it was completely accurate, nor was I suggesting I was an authority. I was a 21-22 year old white American from Utah serving an LDS mission on the east side of England, mostly in cities. I visited London often. This means I spent ALL of my time talking to people of all races and backgrounds about a wide variety of topics. While I was not investigating racism, my statement was based on my observations. I saw how black people were treated while out in public, and it was complete different than at home. I talked to black people and never was told of situations occurring like at home.

I wasn't aware that I was not allowed to make a comment if I didn't back it up with proof of whatever type you need.

I need?

You don't need to do anything around here that you don't want to do. However, if you want to have discussions, or be taken seriously, then you sort of have to have some substance to latch onto. Have I said anything you disagree with? Do you think your first post had much discussion-worthy substance?

Apparently it was discussion worthy as we are having a discussion about it.

It's been my experience that English xenophobes can be quite charming in public. A lot of foreigners can mistake that for something more than charm.

To those asking why join ISIS - in another thread I posted a link to an interview with several people very knowledgeable about this - I'll try to find that and repost here. It's well-worth giving a listen.

I'll summarize though: in parts of the M.E., - especially parts of Syria - ISIS is in charge. That means they collect taxes at rates of their choosing, distribute food cards and other favors, haul people off to jail for flimsy charges and possibly release them when fines are paid, etc. so that provides an incentive to join.

Once they join, all recruits go through Shariah training. As someone mentioned above, this training paints Islam in the most beautiful light. The trainers are themselves quite charismatic and engender much love and devotion from their recruits.

One of the last steps in the training that all recruits must accomplish is the beheading of a prisoner. If a recruit isn't already feeling completely fervent towards ISIS before they behead their prisoner, imagine how they feel once they've done this and they actually have blood on their hands.

Plus, they and their families are given some small rewards (monetary and in the form of favors) and promised greater rewards in the future - which may never come but at that point they've sold their soul so it doesn't really matter.

Muslims have forced joining through taxation sense the beginning. Meaning if you are Muslim you pay much less tax then not Muslim. It is the same basically with IS.
