Georgetown Recruitment Process Plays an Important Role in Terrorism Discussion

Part 1. Why is following the recruitment process an essential part of countering terrorism and intelligence? How do you think terrorist organizations decide if a recruit qualifies to be part of an armed cell? How do you define the radicalization process? What is the role of establishing personal bonds in terrorist recruitment? What are the most striking points of “ISIS – Hijrah to the Islamic State” manual? Please discuss “groups who may be recruited” and “groups not qualified for recruitment” in AQ’s handbook, “A Course in the Art of Recruiting.” Why do you think these groups were chosen? What has been the role of ISIS female members and female slaves in recruitment? Recommended movie: Movie “Killing Room.”
