The Koran flat out says Jesus is the Messiah, that he is "The Word of God"
That he did not die, and that he is still alive..the Koran states that even Mohammad is dead, and that he is not coming back. The Koran says Jesus is coming back.

Brainwashing from a young age. And they also prey on the desperate. And some join ISIS out of fear for what might happen to them if they stand against them. A local show did some coverage on it a short while back. Some poor schmuck literally got strung up in the middle of a Muslim town by ISIS members and had his hands lopped off for opposing them. The rest of the people were told that anyone else who doesn't conform to their version of Islam would get similar treatment. I personally feel that ISIS is simply using Islam as an excuse to execute their own anti-Western agenda. And why wouldn't they? The more it becomes about Islam and less about ISIS, the bigger the flames get and the more they spread.
But sadly, in a lot of instances it is probably not too dissimilar to child soldiers in some African countries. Get them away from parents or other proper guardian figures while young, brainwash them, and by the time they're "ready", they've been so warped that nothing they do seems wrong to them. I can recall an article not too long ago where they raided some terrorist camp in Pakistan I think it was. Found dozens of boys from around the ages of 8 - 14 IIRC.

It's almost like some stories in the Torah were taken from older polytheistic (eg ancient Egyptian, Sumerian, Babylonian etc) and converted into a monotheistic religion, then Judaism was taken and added to make Christianity and the various offshoots and then Judaism and Christianity were taken and added to make Islam. Maybe that's why all three share the same God and are all Abrahamic religions?
