ISIS recruited only eleven people in France despite mass disaffection
Evidence
ISIS succeeded only eleven times, and the world saw the explosive lights of that evil recruitment campaign on the night of November 13, 2015. The world does not see or hear or read about the millions of failures ISIS met inside of those banlieues, and more importantly, the failures of the state to mitigate the existential despair and disaffection that prime its soil for terror recruitment. Those Muslims failed by the French state, and that ISIS failed to recruit, are victors invisible to the world. — Khaled A. Beydoun, The New Crusades_ Islamophobia and the…, 777

- XREF: Connects to the 2013 single-coffins stat and the banlieue despair narrative in the reader’s broader global-Islamophobia reading; a concrete, falsifiable figure for the claim that terror-prone soil is a state failure rather than Muslim failure.
- SEED: Angle: ‘the eleven’ — a counter-narrative essay or case study on what the near-total failure of ISIS recruitment in France says about Muslim resistance, and how the media’s fixation on 11 successes obscures millions of rejections.
