ISIS defectors: Insight for counternarrative
As I'm working on my Master's thesis, I thought I would share gems I come across. IMHOO, there's so much venue for counternarrative psyop products. Are we capitalizing on the opportunity?
In a nutshell:
1) ‘IS is more interested in fighting fellow (Sunni) Muslims than
the Assad government.’
2) ‘IS is involved in brutality and atrocities against (Sunni) Muslims.’
3) ‘IS is corrupt and un-Islamic.’
4) ‘Life under IS is harsh and disappointing.’ (Neumann, 2015)
