Last week, State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf hawked the administration's rationale behind individuals joining ISIS and other terrorist Islamic groups: they are poor and crave nothing more than a good job. The concept is as old as Karl Marx (older, actually, if you go back to ancient gnostic teachings) who said that religion is "the opium of the people." Evidently, the Obama administration is still reliant on the communist explanation of why one turns to religion, even one with the barbaric, murderous practices of an ISIS.
