This is certainly a development to be hoped for, but it does not seem to have happened yet. A burst of news reports over the last few days state that, on the contrary, ISIS recruiting is still going distressingly well, both in the Middle East and West. The Pentagon has also conceded that ISIS is expanding into Afghanistan, with some success at convincing Taliban groups to swear fealty to them.
