&gt;Does ISIS have a lot of redeeming qualities that we&#x27;re overlooking?<p>We likely won&#x27;t know without talking to the people who make the choice to join them.  For the Taliban case, I only learned of this recently because it was so largely ignored.  In a few decades who knows what we may know about ISIS that we don&#x27;t currently know.<p>What I do know is so often pictures have been painted as black and white which are in reality many shades of grade and that due to this I am hesitant to believe this case really in black and white.
