He's right. I've heard a surprising amount of people doing exactly that and refusing to condemn IS or those who're drawn towards them.

I wonder if the women who appear to have taken leave of their senses and taken their small children to a war zone will be punished if/when they get back or whether they'll be offered 'help and counselling'. It'll be interesting to see if they're treated in the same way as irresponsible parents who put their kids at risk by, for example, leaving them unattended for long periods, or otherwise neglecting them.
