Corruption
Transparency International, which campaigns against corruption in governments, outlines a number of recurring themes used by IS to recruit people in its research.In social media posts, it highlights systematic corruption - including nepotism and bribery - while presenting itself as a provider of security, justice and welfare.It also plugs into a sense of discrimination felt by Sunni groups, and suggests the West and its allies are complicit in the corruption. What's more, corruption has physically weakened some forces - like the Iraqi army, which did not have enough soldiers to combat IS when it first attacked Mosul because thousands of people were being paid, but not actually working.
