American ISIS Fighter Defects

[Compost]

Mo was looking for utopia in the unity of ISIS. He was astonished to discover that they were not very nice people after all.

"An American man has said joining ISIS was the worst decision he's ever made in his 27-year-old life, which would seem to be a no-brainer. But saying he was clueless about what he was getting himself into is even more baffling.

NBC News recently interviewed that man and it will be aired on Dateline Sunday. He is only identifying himself as "Mo" to protect his identity. Mo joined ISIS in 2014 and apparently paid no attention to countless news feeds about this band of murderous, head-severing savages carving a path of destruction across the globe.

He was groomed inside Ivy League's Columbia University in New York City and was saving his money to buy a ticket to Turkey. According to his interview, he had become "entranced by the Islamic State and its promise of a global caliphate through online videos and articles." It says Mo "was seduced by promises of a utopian Islamic State" but found out the hard way (by becoming a traitor to his country) that they were quite the opposite.

Once inside Turkey in June 2014, the indoctrination began at training camps where he learned about sharia law and received military training. It didn't take long for Mo to see the havoc caused by his new Muslim brothers-in-arms. But it wasn't until he crossed the border into Syria that his eyes were completely opened: At one point towards the end as things were getting more and more serious, I did see severed heads placed on spiked poles. Like a lot of things, I just blocked it out."

ISIS startin' to fracture?...

Cracks show inside Islamic State's shrinking caliphate
Wednesday 29th June, 2016: It was barely more than a squiggle, but the mark of a single letter sprayed overnight on a wall in the heart of Islamic State's self-proclaimed caliphate was a daring act of dissent.

The next day, ultra-hardline Islamic State fighters came and scrubbed out the "M" - the first letter of the word for "resistance" in Arabic - which appeared in an alley near the Grand Mosque in the Iraqi city of Mosul about three weeks ago. A video of the single letter, scrawled about a metre long on the wall, was shared with Reuters by an activist from a group called "Resistance", whose members risk certain execution to conduct small acts of defiance in areas under Islamic State rule. Nearly two years since Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi delivered a sermon from that same mosque summoning Muslims worldwide to the "caliphate", it is fraying at the edges.

As an array of forces make inroads into their territory spanning Iraq and Syria, the jihadis are becoming even harsher to maintain control of a population that is increasingly hostile to them, according to Iraqi officials and people who managed to escape. "They are harsh, but they are not strong," said Major General Najm al-Jubbouri, who is in command of the operation to recapture Mosul and the surrounding areas. "Their hosts reject them." Many local Sunnis initially welcomed the Sunni Muslim militants as saviours from a Shi'ite-led government they perceived as oppressive, while thousands of foreigners answered Baghdadi's call to come and wage holy war.

For a time, the militants claimed one victory after another, thanks as much to the weakness and division of the forces arrayed against them as their own strength. They funded themselves through sales of oil from fields they overran, and plundered weapons and ammunition from those they vanquished. But two years since the declaration of the caliphate, the tide has begun to turn in favour of its many enemies: Iraqi and Syrian government troops, Kurdish forces in both countries, rival Syrian Sunni rebels, Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias, and a U.S.-led coalition which has bombed the militants while conducting special operations to take out their commanders. Of the 43 founders of Islamic State, also known as ISIS, ISIL or Daesh, 39 have been killed, said Hisham al-Hashimi, a Baghdad-based expert who advises the Iraqi government.

The self-proclaimed caliph, Baghdadi, is moving in a semi-desert plain that covers several thousand square kilometres west of the Tigris river and south of Mosul, avoiding Syria after two of his close aides were killed there this year: "war minister" Abu Omar al-Shishani and top civilian administrator and second-in-command Abd al-Rahman al-Qaduli, Hashimi said. The most senior commanders after Baghdadi are now Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, the group's spokesman who took over military supervision after Shishani's death, and Abu Muhammad al-Shimali, who oversees foreign fighters and succeeded Qaduli as civilian administrator, he said. Kurdish and Iraqi military commanders say the group is deploying fighters who are less experienced and less ideologically committed to defend what remains of its quasi-state, which is under attack on multiple fronts.

Islamic State may not need the ‘state’ in order to exist
Monday, Jun. 27, 2016 - Iraq’s army succeeded this week in liberating the city of Fallujah from the extremist fighters of the Islamic State movement who first occupied the provincial centre just west of Baghdad more than two years ago.

And, as the national flag was hoisted over the city’s mostly empty buildings, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi vowed that soon the flag will fly in Mosul as well, a reference to Iraq’s much larger northern city that serves now as the capital of Islamic State’s so-called caliphate. But while the news from Fallujah was promising to those who seek Islamic State’s demise, as was news from Syria where U.S.-led efforts to defeat IS forces have made gains in the area of Aleppo, no one should think Islamic State is on the run.

The battle for Mosul, like the battle for Raqqa, where IS commanders are headquartered in Syria, is still far off. And even if IS forces are vanquished from these cities, the Islamic State movement is not about to vanish. “The ‘state’ in Islamic State will collapse,” says the Beirut-based analyst Rami Khouri, “but IS will not disappear.” Already the IS movement has followers from Southeast Asia to North and Central Africa and Mr. Khouri foresees a more dispersed group of extremists carrying on long after any fall of Mosul.

Members of Iraqi police forces celebrate on a street on June 27, 2016 in western Fallujah, after Iraqi forces retook the embattled city from the Islamic State.​

Evidence of this could be seen earlier this month in Orlando where Omar Mateen rounded up and killed 49 people in a gay bar and told 911 he was acting in the name of Islamic State, and in the Philippines where Canadian traveller Robert Hall was beheaded by a group of rebel kidnappers known as Abu Sayyaf that long ago adopted the flag and mantra of the IS movement.

What matters to Islamic State, Mr. Khouri recently wrote, isn’t necessarily territory. “What matters to IS and will allow it to persist for some time is the shared mindset of a large number of people around the world – from hundreds of thousands to perhaps a few million – who have lost confidence in their existing political, religious and socio-economic institutions.”

IS Syria stronghold Raqqa next after Manbij operation is completed - US official
Wednesday 29th June, 2016 | WASHINGTON: Once the operation against the Islamic State-held city of Manbij in northern Syria is completed, that creates the conditions to move on the militant group's main stronghold of Raqqa, Brett McGurk, U.S. President Barack Obama's special envoy in the fight against Islamic State said on Tuesday.

"The Manbij operation, it's ongoing on right now, it's hard fighting, once that is done, that sets the conditions for Raqqa," McGurk told a U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.

The Syria Democratic Forces, comprised of Kurdish and Arab fighters and backed by the air power of a U.S.-led coalition to fight IS, have been involved in the Manbij operation.

ISIS using sex slaves to encourage snitching...

How ISIS rewards its fighters: Snitch on your brother, win three sex slaves!
Friday 30th September, 2016 - In a tell-all interview, a captured ISIS fighter has made some shocking revelations about the functioning of the world’s most dreadful terror group.

The captured jihadi fighter, identified as Abu Al-Mughira Al-Muhajer was one amongst the numerous ISIS fighters arrested at the Al-Sham front in Aleppo, Syria. He made the revelations in a TV interview in the United Arab Emirates. Amongst the most shocking revelation made by Al-Muhajer was that that terror group would reward its fighters with sex slaves. Al-Muhajer recalled that he had helped capture his own brother who was trying to flee the militant regime and in return for his noble act, ISIS awarded him three slave girls.

He added that ISIS would buy these women from a slave market in Raqqa, Syria for anywhere between $250 and $500. He said in the chilling interview, “Whenever they took captives, they would bring slave girls, and they would place them on the slave market in Raqqa. Afterwards, they would sell them for dollars. Their price would range from $250 to $500. The Islamic State would buy slave girls and give them as rewards.”

Detailing the incident involving him, Al-Muhajer said, “After I informed on my brother who wanted to leave ISIS, I was rewarded with three slave girls - one from Damascus and two from Homs. All of them had been beaten on their backs. They told me that the girl from Damascus was a Yazidi and that the two girls from Homs were Christians.” The ethnic group, Yazidis was mentioned in the statement by Abu Al-Mughira Al-Muhajer. This group is known for committing horrific genocide, killing 5,000, according to a UN estimate.

The jihadi said that he had been lied to by the ISIS commanders when it came to the women. He stated, “They told me that the had been captured, but it turned out they were wives of Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters from the Islamic Front. So I went to the Emir and told him that they were not slave girls or anything. He admitted that they were wives of FSA fighters, but said that they too needed to be captured.”
