Foreign fighters in ISIS

Though out the years there have been terrorist groups targeting world superpowers but now with the help of foreign fighters, America is actually in danger. For one reason or another (whether it because of envy or something as simple as the way America is viewed & portrayed that goes against a culture.) hate for America literally grows every day and that literally is encouraging people from even our own country to get up and do the craziest things. Girls as young as 13 are leaving their homes in countries in europe to fight against Syria and threaten America. Americans are leaving their families and lives and jobs to join ISIS to fight and cause destruction to anything affiliated with America. And it's sad to see that America is causing worse damage whole trying to aid innocent people who are being targeted because of a seizing of land struggle. Over 2,500 people from the west have joined ISIS within the last few months. That may not seem like a lot. But if you think about it. That's more than double the amount of students here at ESM. Those foreign fighters can be anyone. They could be your own family members. Imagine that. Your brother going to fight overseas AGAINST your hind country. I don't know about you but to me that's sickening.
