He had a good job and a loving family, but it wasn't enough for a 25-year old Jordanian who abandoned his life of privilege in Amman, Jordan, to join the Islamic State group that has seized swathes of neighboring Iraq and Syria. Handsome, courteous, and highly regarded in his profession as a radiologist, the man, whose name has been withheld for security reasons, disappeared in early August after the Muslim Eid holiday. He did not tell his family where he was going. A relative said he later called his parents from an undisclosed location to say he had "forsaken his life for the glory of Islam."

At least a dozen people have been arrested for expressing support for Islamic State on social media. http://bit.ly/1n3O3mk http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
