Don't know what to say. Do these IS fighters honestly believe they are the good guys, fighting for their God?

That's what the anti-religeous types never seem to understand - at most religion is an excuse for things people do.  There is always a socio-economic reason for everything, including the crusades.  

 

Take some college courses people, people do things because they need or want to, and then they use religion as an excuse for themselves and others.  They aren't some army of God, they are angry sociopaths.

Completely agree about religion as an excuse to wage acts of violence.

But IS seem so convincing that they have an actual agenda. They have plans, ideology, other literature. Even if most of the footsoldiers are just brainwashed, I think some genuinely believe they're doing, in this case, Allah's wishes.
