Abstract
In the June of 2014, the global jihadist group known today as the Islamic State broke onto the global stage with its unanticipated capture of the Syrian border town of Mosul. Known for their strong belief in the Islamic concept of lesserjihad and their unabashed brutality (for which al-Qaeda denounced them) (Stern and Berger, 2015) the Islamic State has made Jihad a household term. This quick rise to power brought the questions of what exactly caused the radicalisation of those who sought to join the group, and where the Islamic State drew their religious legitimacy from, to the forefront of the public mind.
