Karen Greenberg was quoted in a Star Tribune article about the recent territorial loss of ISIS.
Karen Greenberg, director of the Center on National Security at the Fordham University School of Law, said that ISIS’ territorial losses could curb its ability to attract new foreign recruits and leaves uncertain how many supporters will still be willing to commit violence in its name at home.
“Remember, ISIS’ big thing was to recruit to the caliphate and now they don’t have a caliphate,” Greenberg said. “It may actually make it less powerful in terms of what it can inspire.”
