ISIS and Western Modernity (Blog #2)

This cartoon shows some of the irony in ISIS and their mission. They're so against us, the West, yet they're using our technology to get that message out. They're using Twitter to send out threats. They're using YouTube to show these disgusting executions. ISIS is so against us, yet without us there is no way it would have gotten so widespread. Without our technology, how would anybody know about ISIS? How would we have seen these horrific beheadings? How would they be recruiting followers all around the world? They wouldn't. ISIS is completely against us, yet our technology, our social media, is their biggest ally.
