Islamic terrorism is quite apparent in our time. Numerous articles, books, films, television programs, video clips, etc. have been produced on the topic. They have helped us understand the phenomenon which has been noticed worldwide. Yet one aspect of it seems to have been left out, or rather not given due consideration. It is the question pertaining to the individuals who indulged in such terrorist activities. Who are they? Why do they resort to such extreme behavior to promote their cause? Was there something in their upbringing which led them to such violent attacks? This paper would like to address this issue. Indeed, clear-cut answers cannot easily be found, but a better knowledge of the youngsters who decide to become jihadi, either in their country or in another one, would help us understand their motives and allow us to find ways and means to prevent them from joining such criminal organizations.
