The shocking confession of the woman I joined SIS

All information on Islamic State had been found on the internet, and militants had promised “everything necessary for life”, including atonement for family debts, free health care for girls and education.

They had been invited to live in the society of “Muslim elders, as should be”.

Most family members realised the plan, and through Turkey they reached Raka, but soon thereafter they realized that they had erred.

Free women and girls were forced to marry terrorists, and all males had to join the warriors.

Kairadah for two years experienced the death of his grandmother and uncle, and his family separated until he tried to escape. She managed to reach the refugee camp, which the Kurds had opened with her mother, two sisters and their children. Her father and four brothers were imprisoned because of their contact with the Islamic State.

Kairadahi shows that men in Raka were forced to attend the war course for the Islamic State and that if they refused to join the military, they ended up in prison.

This is crazy. The Islamic State wants three things: women, money and power. They act like gods and create their own laws. They are far from what Islam represents. I was very naive and stupid. I blame myself for everything. This road is not going on vacation. It's a very dangerous way of doing this”, she said.
