Yet tens of thousands of people from around the world are leaving their homes, their jobs, their families (or worse yet, bring their families along) to live in this "Caliphate." I've tried to understand the mentality, I get the longing for the "glory days" of old, the desire to escape the oppression (or perceived oppression) of living in a non-Muslim society. But really, who the hell would want to live in a place where people are mutilated, tortured, killed in accordance with law? That, I can't understand.
