Increase in the number of ISIS followers

Introduction

The Islamic state of Iraq and Syria also known as ISIS burst into the world in 2014 and instantly captured vast lands of Iraq and Syria, killed western prisoners and declared itself as pan- Islamic caliphate. Control of two nation and brutal killing of many innocents is a rising social problem and many researchers and scholar are trying to figure out the factors that lead to the emergence and expansion of ISIS followers. In a research named ISIS and recruitment the scholars tried to build an understanding about how ISIS recruits and what are the factors like demography, age, sex, religion which facilitates the recruitments (Tse, 2016).

ISIS grew rapidly because of various reason like belief of many Muslims that Islam of Abu Bakar Baghdadi is the true form of Islam and this is the reason that they support the pan-Islamic caliphate. ISIS forces recruit many young women from the west which is quiet surprising. The reason why young women are attracted to ISIS is that these women are tempted towards a decent and moral life. This shows that age and gender are a prominent factors that contribute in ISIS recruitment. In the first year of ISIS more than 550 Muslim women from west went to Iraq and Syria (Perešin, 2015). The followers of ISIS spread their propaganda through social media and print media. It is very difficult to tell about how far they have excelled in spreading their propaganda through print and social media. Unemployment is also a factor which lures young men and women todays ISIS. Young men who are unsatisfied with the negativities of life are enticed by giving them an image of heaven in which fighters of ISIS are living in. factors like demography, need for an adventure and a promise of better life are some of the few reasons which are prominent factors contributing towards increase in the number of ISIS fighters. It is hard for the government as well as Nato forces to combat this issue.

So it can be concluded that increase in the number of ISIS followers is because more and more young people are getting attracted towards the ideal life they are portraying.

Research Methodology

In order to make my argument credible it is important to know what young people think about ISIS, what is their general perception about it. Weather they have come across to publications by ISIS if yes then where and how. Is is also essential to know about their level of satisfaction of life and if there is a possibility that they will go for a life as promised by ISIS. For this reason I will use quantitative research methodology. This methodology emphasize on arithmetical analysis of data collected through questionnaires, surveys and polls. It also sometimes use pre-existing data for analysis. (Neuman & Robson, 2014). Using this methodology I will conduct surveys a survey of different universities and high schools. The main objective of my survey will be to understand the attitude and behavior of young people towards ISIS. This survey will also focus on how much young people in USA know about ISIS and how often do the come across the material published by ISIS to attract youngsters for recruitment.

I will use simple random sampling for my research and my target population will be young boys and girls. Sampling size will be 25 to 30. Tools of Questionnaire and group discussions will be used. The questionnaire will contain simple close ended questions which will completely cover the objectives of my research and the main focus of group discussion will be on the interest of young people towards ISIS. For my research one survey will be sufficient. The questionnaire will cover all the essential parts required to develop a basic understanding about the beliefs of young people towards ISIS and group discussions will help me in getting in-depth view of their thinking. I will get statistical data through questionnaire and qualitative data through group discussion.

Data analysis

In order to analysis my data I will use descriptive statistic method to analyze statistical data from questionnaire. This technique summarizes a collection of information in different categories. For my questionnaire this technique is most suitable because on analyzing the data using this method descriptive statistics are present (Vogt, 2007). Descriptive statistics method is straight forward and the results obtained from it is very accurate and reliable. It is because in this method one is only describing the people and its relationship with variables. It is also to read the results as the statistical data is reduced to a few lines summary and some graphs. My variable for this research will be age, and education and its relationship with the perception of young people towards ISIS. For data analysis obtained from the group discussion I will use the method of content analysis and will interfere the basic points and ideas from the group discussion.

My units for analysis will be young people from USA who are studying in high schools and universities belonging from different social, ethnic and economic backgrounds. I will select young people because it has been observed that the number of youngsters in ISIS is increasing day by day and it is very important to know the reason for that (Callimachi, 2015). It is a worrying situation which should be solved as soon as possible and my study will be helpful in highlighting the reasons of increasing number of ISIS followers.
