I've Been Thinking:
Reuters recently ran an insightful piece about how Europe is beginning to crack down and stem the flow of Europeans into ISIS.
New laws preventing citizens suspected of interacting with ISIS from returning home and the seizing of travel documents of anyone suspected of ISIS activity are now in effect. It is an attempt to strangle the constant stream of European recruits into ISIS.
ISIS has responded by saying that now, most of their recruits are no longer coming from Europe.
"Now most of the (foreign) fighters are coming from Asian countries, like Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
They are tough fighters," said an official who was quoted by Reuters.
Another official said that at first people did not take ISIS and their recruits seriously. That was a big mistake. He said, "At first these countries took us lightly, they thought the fighters will come here and die. But what they did not see coming was that they get trained and also started to contact their friends and relatives to join."
It is true that recruits are flocking to ISIS from all over the world and especially from the Far East. There has also been an influx of recruits from Libya and Egypt.
ISIS is not suffering for lack of money or manpower.
