And you know this how? Do they have to disclose this on their ISIS job application?
If all they wanted was money, well now they have it. They have captured huge oil fields, some reports say ISIS is selling a million dollars of oil a day. If they took over the oil fields and then just focused on the oil business, one might make a case that this is all about economics. Not sure how machine-ginning 130 French folks, improves their economic outlook more than capturing oil fields does.
Desperate economic conditions might help in recruiting a few more foot soldiers. It's clearly not the underlying cause that they are trying to promote.
