    Why would you risk your life by going to a war country like Syria for a friend? Why didn’t the family go themselves? It’s a weird and dodgy story.

      Agreed. What a fake storyline.
      There is like 0 chance to trespassing ISIS border without getting shot. And then he was really sure about 9/11 suspect.
      i mean, try to hijacking an airplane without getting shot in by the air force in the US. And comes to that day, not a single air force around that area.

    Did they confirm with the family that he claimed he went to get their daughters? Something smells very fishy.
    When he was asked: "Did they torture you", it took him a couple of seconds before saying "some of them did" with his eyes looking on the floor and I do that all of the time when I lie, even the simplest lies. He could have simply said "Yes", but he could have also said "some of them" because he might still feel sympathy for them and is trying to say "some are good some are bad". I think this guy is lying..

      He was forced to do it and he feels guilty about it. If he really liked and supported isis, he would've stayed with them right?

    why would u be a part of something that is so vile and torturous and expect something good to come out of it? I mean if the journey is horrible and disrespects human life how can u expect it to be the greater good for mankind? this is for all the people who go there and join the group

    ISIS tortures, it is full of hate etc. etc. But saying “it is pure evil” is also a hateful statement, which doesn’t solve any problem. There is no such thing as pure evil, they are connected by good human emotions but chose to harm others
