MR We Recommend

T

he George Washington University report “ISIS in America: From Retweets to Raqqa,” by
Lorenzo Vidino and Seamus Hughes, is a valuable resource for those interested in researching
the threat to the United States posed by radical Islamists and the Islamic State. The report
examines cases of Americans involved in ISIS-related activities, and provides a demographic analysis
of those charged with ISIS-related crimes. It goes on to discuss the individual motivations of ISIS
supporters, how they became radicalized, the role of the Internet and social media in their radicalization and recruitment processes, and how involved U.S.-based ISIS sympathizers actually are with
that terrorist organization. Finally, the report provides recommendations on how to combat ISIS
recruitment. Find the full report at http://cchs.gwu.edu/isis-in-america.
