WOULD YOU RESIST IF FOREIGNERS & THEIR PUPPETS WERE DOING THIS TO YOUR HOME?
The need to earn a basic living, a desire for a sense of purpose and revenge are key factors that push young Syrians into joining extremist groups.
Males between 12 and 24 are most at risk of joining jihadist organizations like the Islamic State group and Al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate Nusra Front, International Alert said in a report.
The London-based group also found that children and young adults who were not in education as well as refugees and people forced from their homes were vulnerable to being recruited.
Young Syrian men told International Alert, which interviewed more than 300 young Syrians in Syria, Lebanon and Turkey, that joining armed groups afforded them "a strong sense of purpose, honor and self-worth".
"People can find a new meaning to their life in extremism. Extremism opens a door to a new life where they are wanted," one young Syrian man was quoted as saying in the study.
Syria's war which has entered its sixth year has killed more than 250,000 people though with tens of thousands unaccounted for, some say the death toll may be as high as 400,000.
The conflict has driven almost 10 million people from their homes, according to the United Nations.
