Hi! I'm an Italian freelance illustrator, at the moment living in Mexico City. I work with magazines by mail, mostly for USA, Italia, and Mexico. I work in mixed media traditional plus digital program.

Some time ago I shared some of my works with you. Now I present the new illustrations that I made in the years after the first post.

Some were made on commission for magazines and others are personal work.

I am loving all your works, but especially this one. I think it's an especially brave thing to state the truth especially when it's one that not everyone wants to hear. There is countless evidence (probably listed in the article you did this for) to link the adoption of extremism with troubled individuals disconnected from the rest of the religious Muslim community. They end up finding ISIS propaganda online and they think it is their chance at instant salvation and it could not be farther from the truth. The truth is that the more that (Muslims) are involved, engaged with their local Muslim community, the significantly less likely they are to have anything to do with extremism. Every mosque I know of actually reports individuals with blatant extremist views to the proper authorities. We do not take intentions of violence lightly. So again, thank you for this piece!

Jihadists can be recruited because they cannot find a way out of their addictions, criminalism and social problems themselves. The weird thing is that they are bombarded with drugs to perform abhorrent crimes to redeem themselves, and the most stupid thing is: they believe it!

Please find my comment below as it may shed some light on this piece. In short, it is people with criminal past or problems with addictions, or other 'problems' that ever find ISIS propaganda appealing. Not being a devout Muslim as media would have you believe.

They don't feel accepted by society, but here are people who welcome them with open arms. Easy for them to be manipulated and influenced.

This is sharp and true. Young people feel alienated and lonely even among their peers. This is also relevant for those, who live in Europe. They are not fully accepted by people in Europe and they don't fully belong to their world, as they are a part of European society. So they find something they can relate to in ISIS. Their magazine (Dabiq) promises to potential followers a feeling of belonging and unity as well as a common aim and wealth.

Hello Monsiur Melgrati, your work should be shown in all schools throughout the world. Your art and philosophical outlook on our planet is beyond words. Thank ever so much for sharing.

Marco not always; as you see it maybe! many that become are very intelligent with a bent for destruction and violence. A need to be satisfied in an unsatisfactory life. A life where when rage takes over it can be acquiesced.

Muslims cannot drink alcohol. So I don't get it, how being a drunk makes you a terrorist?
