Because it has nothing to do with 'Islam'. Also, the article is not saying that everyone is joining, only that that sentiment is expressed by a number of people who are asked (and I should caveat that most of the people asked are being detained for one reason or another, so you already have a narrow test population) Those who join PERCIEVE that what they are getting into is what everyone else is doing (though it is not). You can substitute 'Muslims' and 'terrorism' with 'inner city youth' and 'bringing guns to school' or 'fat bald white men' and 'insider trading'.
Read 'Understanding Terrorist Networks'.
