"It was totally different from what they said jihad would be like," said the man, Ghaith, who asked to be identified by his first name only for fear of being killed. While foreigners from across the world have joined the Islamic State militant group, some arrive in Iraq or Syria only to find day-to-day life much more austere and violent than they had expected. These disillusioned new recruits soon discover that it is a lot harder to leave than to join. Even if they escape, they are trapped in limbo, considered a threat by both their former comrades-in-arms and their homelands.
Ghaith went to Syria for jihad to reap what he believed would be the rewards of paradise. But once there, Ghaith said, he was highly disturbed to see female recruits forced into sex in the camps, often "married" for the night by different men. "It was by force, because they couldn't say no or they would be killed," Ghaith said.

fr336 wrote: » Whatever you think about people who drop bombs from planes, they do not require the same mentality as those who will behead or burn people face to face. They are also usually doing it on the premise of doing good in the world and defending their country etc. It's not a perfect role, and there will be a few oddballs who simply like killing people from a distance as well as war criminals such as Bush and Blair sending them to war on false information, but comparing an army pilot to ISIS astounds me.
