Dissatified Islamic fanatics who joined ISIS in iraq and Syria want to come home

Disgruntled jihadists who had traveled to Iraq and Syria to fight the ‘’holy war’’ are now writing back home to relations complaining of the kind of life they are forced to live, ranging from having to clean toilets, doing the washing etc. 

 

 

One of such now have second thought is Indian Areeb Majeed, 23, who left India in May with three other of his friends flew home on Friday to Mumbia with compalints that he made to carry out lowly tasks rather than fight on the front line.  He said he was made to fetch water, clean toilets.  He decided to return home after suffering an unexplained bullet wound for which he did not get proper medical attention.

 

He said it was only after begging them before he was taken to the hospital.  He said, ‘’There was neither a holy war nor any of the preachings in the holy book were followed.’’

A number young French Muslim converts are also having second thoughts about signing up to ISIS as revealed in a series of weepy messages home that were leaked to newspaper Le Figaro.

One said: 'I'm fed up to the back teeth. My iPod no longer works out here. I have got to come home.'

 

Another wrote: 'I've done hardly anything but hand out clothes and food,' he said.  'Winter is beginning. It's starting to get tough.'

 

A third fighter said he was 'sick' of his time with the militant group, adding: 'They make me do the washing up'.

Radicalized foreigners have been drawn to ISIS, which has conducted a series of mass executions and other atrocities since launching its offensive in Iraq and Syria in June.   

 

Last week, U.S. security analysts warned that Islamic State's uprising in Iraq and Syria was gaining influence in North Africa where extremists are now 'mimicking its rhetoric and brutality'.  

They revealed how rebel networks in Libya and Egypt have been pledging allegiance to ISIS in recent weeks and are even being helped to set up new terror cells.  The opening of a new front is concerning officials in Washington because the expansion is taking hold in two countries which have struggled to quash extremism in recent years. 

 

 

 

In Darna, north-eastern Libya, a group of young militants reportedly from the Islamic Youth Shura Council who claim to control the town, declared its allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi earlier this month. 

 

The terror chief, who has long tried to recruit militants from Al Qaeda, responded by dispatching one of his henchmen to the town to become the group's 'emir' or commander.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group's reclusive leader, made his first video appearance in Mosul in July to announce his vision for a self-styled caliphate, a form of Islamic state.
