As if young, healthy men cannot be scared to fight a billion dollar financed, military trained, group of mercenaries.

I've been calling them Daesh for months since I found out it was an insult to them, it's become popular recently.
British media outlet The Telegraph exposed a document written by a high ranking ISIS official in charge of recruitment in Libya, which delineates how ISIS intends to use Libya as a gateway to Europe.
British newspapers have begun to read like a highlights reel of what many perceive as an irreversible trend in Britain: The attacks on the London Transport in 2005 by British-born nationals, the brutal killing of Lee Rigby in 2013 by converted and radicalized Muslims of Nigerian descent, the heartbreaking beheading of journalist James Foley and others by a British-accented militant (a jihadist known as “John the Beatle”) along with an estimated 500 other Britons fighting for ISIL in Syria, not to mention almost two dozen women emigrating to become jihadi brides. Even domestic institutions seem to be vulnerable; Operation Trojan Horse revealed a detailed plan by hardline Muslim community leaders in Birmingham to remove head teachers hostile to Islamic principles in city schools. This pattern is not an escalation but – perhaps more troubling – reflects the continuation of a malignant and deep-seated problem: not all citizens of free societies value freedom, especially freedom for others.
Shortly after the 7/7 bombings, Tony Blair declared, “The right to be in a multicultural society was always implicitly balanced by a duty to integrate, to be part of Britain.” Six years later, David Cameron presented a variation on the same theme, asserting “muscular liberalism” for Britain, in which a forceful commitment to democracy, rule of law, and respect for minorities is “not an option but a way of life.” The liberal democratic state cannot impel an individual to believe certain values and ideas, but it can require certain behavior as part of the “duties-for-rights” contract of citizenship. And it is in this tethering of behavior to status conditionality that the major immigrant-receiving states of Western Europe are investing their chips, in order to reduce alienation among Muslim youth as well as some of its more pernicious, and sometimes violent, byproducts.

If you've got limited funds and need to pay people traffickers extortionate amounts of cash you're not going to send the elderly or small children that are unlikely to survive the trip or do anything productive once they get there; you're going to send strong men of working age that can make the journey and have some hope of making enough money in their host nation to help you out at some point.
I don't understand why they're considered cowards when any of the sides they can fight for are all as bad as each other and there's no chance to implement a representative system whoever wins.
Also, if we're being attacked by them in our own countries why haven't you all signed up to fight then instead of talking about what you would do on the Internet?
