"This report is a collaboration by 20 experts on the Middle East, Islamic extremism, and jihadism who held a series of conferences between August and November 2016."
"Two broad categories of people join ISIS, al-Qaeda, and their affiliates: One group includes religious radicals who adhere to jihadi ideologies and narratives. They have been part of the fluid jihadi Salafist movement. The other includes people who may not fully subscribe to a puritanical religious ideology but nonetheless believe in the political elements of that ideology. Their motives are often to repel regional and international influence. To them, the Muslim Brotherhood has failed; they believe peaceful forms of political Islam—or efforts to work within systems—have failed too."

There are missing components here. What is missing is that the report does not address the push to spread radical Islam aka Wahhabism by Saudi Arabia to extend their national goals. It also fails address the fact that multiple governments in the region failed to address the needs of the poorest in the region basic necessities thereby opening up the avenue for the extremists to gain a foothold.

MSG Xavier James - Thank you for your input. I understand they consider them a threat and that they are a great threat. I think more background information needs to be included regarding the creation. The plan has been going on since the alliance between Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Muhammad bin Saud was made. This relationship continues to this day. Which is the source for global terrorism. It caused the disunity in the communities by labeling those who did not want to get on board with the idea as being "nonmuslim" and justified their killing. Which is the foundation from which ISIL sprung and later other factions developed Al Qaida, al Shabab, ISIS, IS... The idea that this is a new phenomenon is short sighted.
