Emphathy? Why? It's not like they didn't know what they were getting into.
The organisation they joined puts people in cages and set fire to them. And they don't make it a secret.
I just assume they did not know what they were getting into. If they joined up a year or two ago. How can ISIS be so bad yet incapable of deceiving two high school girls? Raping then and forcing them to marry? Then killing them?
We all know ISIS are shitty. Yet, you can't put yourselves into their position and just 'imagine' what they went thru?
They started going to a mosque, was radicalized and got suckered into it. You can't be empathetic to that? Empathy doesn't really require your understanding. Empathy requires you to place yourself in their shoes.
