This isn’t satire as near as I can tell. It comes from AFP<\/a> which reports that Areeb Majeed a 23-year-old Indian who went to fight with ISIS, went AWOL when the terrorists made him scrub toilets and perform other menial tasks instead of sending him into battle;<\/p>\n

The engineering student flew home Friday to Mumbai where he was arrested and charged by India’s elite National Investigation Agency (NIA) with terror-related offences.<\/p>\n

Majeed told NIA officers he was sidelined by the jihadists for whom he fetched water and performed other lowly tasks such as cleaning toilets, instead of taking part in the deadly offensive like he wanted, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Funny how that works, huh? I’m sure there are thousands of American soldiers and Marines who can commiserate with him.<\/p>\n

On another Indian website, DNA<\/a>, he tells how he spent money to join ISIS and discovered that they considered Indians to be physically weak and only one of the four Indians that he travelled with to Syria were accepted into weapons training;<\/p>\n

\tThe other three, including Areeb, were asked to join IS social media team and were also given the task of cleaning and collecting water. At no point was Areeb allowed to go to the war front for direct combat.<\/p>\n

It was during this period that his mindset started changing against the IS because there was no place for the teachings of the Holy Quran in the IS camps. The jihadis simply butchered people and raped women.<\/p>\n

All the four friends soon got scared, stressed and depressed about their situation. Their imagined jihadi heaven had become hell. In July, Areeb got injured in random firing and sustained bullet wounds on his back and shoulder.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Privates are all the same, I guess, pissed because he can’t kill someone, pissed that he can’t go to sick call when he gets shot by “random firing”, so he goes over the hill. I hope they make him scrub toilets in prison, too. He seems to be experienced at that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
