The cost of leaving the Islamic State: Jail. Or death. That is the dark and stark reality of life under the merciless regime.. the AP details the facts in a dispatch from Tunisia about a man who left Syria and now is fearful for his life..
The AP reports:
“Now he chain-smokes as he describes the indiscriminate killing, the abuse of female recruits, the discomfort of a life where meals were little more than bread and cheese or oil. He recounts the knife held to his throat by fellow fighters who demanded he recite a particular Quranic verse on Islamic warfare to prove himself.“
