The Spilling of Blood

Counter intutive is a show that challenges popular beliefs, well held views or notions. This week we look at the role of hidden psychological forces in recruiting young people to join terror groups such as isis. We also hear from an anthropologist who has spent many years trying to understand why people are drawn to join terrorist groups like islamic state. In this episode Scott Atran talks about his research on terrorism and how it can be used to help fight against terrorists.
