Tales of Dissapointnent from ISIS Returnees

[lifelongexpat]

Perhaps the mainstream media here should really go to town and promote the hell out of these tales to deter more foolish people from signing up.

Indonesian authorities estimate that around 600 of the country’s citizens have gone to Syria to fight for the terrorist organization ISIS. Many of those have already returned to Indonesia and some are now sharing their stories of bitter disappointment and horror in the hopes of dissuading others from making the same mistake they did.

A man in the video named Heru says that ISIS soldiers were not exactly the holy warriors he was expecting. He said they often fought amongst themselves and about petty issues like thugs. He also said they engaged in some truly horrific behavior.

Another former ISIS supporter, Djoko, says he deeply regretted bringing his family, including his children, along with him.

“They said there would be a free school, but once we got there they’d just order (our children) to get married. Many proposed to marry my child and said, ‘let me know when she starts menstruating,’” Djoko said.
