I can agree with that. But I think a lot of those factors are well known. Poverty, social ostracism and failure of immigrant cultures to integrate with their host cultures, not to mention the continual stream of rabid Wahabi clerics and religious material flowing freely from Saudi. This is more my point.There can still be further questions about the social and psychological factors that lead young people to join it.
But if that's not you then you'll have a much harder time finding a purpose and, if you do find a purpose, remaining convinced that it's a valid one given that society doesn't overtly celebrate it (and may even call it foolish or a waste of time if it doesn't produce money, fame or power).
