The secular world completely misunderstands the appeal of the Islamic State on young people, especially young Muslim girls.
As more young women and girls are sneaking away from home in America and Europe to become Jihadi wives in Syria, Iraq and Iran, newspapers such as the New York Times attribute the trend to young girls chasing after the bad boys.
This is very far from the truth. The Lord has wired within the hearts of women the desire for passionate and devoted men. If this world were not fallen in sin, the devotion would be centered on the Lord.
Because there is such a lack of faith in the one true God, it opens the heart to false belief and this is what we are seeing as young men become militant to the false god of Islam and young women devote their very lives to serve them and bear their children.
The last generation worked very hard to drive God from their lives and now their children are working very hard to embrace an idol of stone that cannot speak.
The Islamic State is being very successful in recruiting young Islamic girls who feel outcast in Western society and drawing them away from their families.
What is even worse is that some will return home having lost their husbands to Jihad and bring the destruction this false god demands.
We should understand how evil the Islamic State truly is, they murder vast numbers of Christians as described in scripture, they have no regard for the desire of women and girls as they still rape and enslave thousands of Yazidis under a systematic sex trade condoned by Islam.
If the Islamic State is not in some way connected to the Anti-Christ, I would hate to run into those that are.
