    Default Beyond the frontline: watching ISIS

    These stories matter. At last an open source ICSR report on why IS defectors exit the fight. Well reviewed overnight via Twitter and tonight on CNN at 7pm Dr Peter Neumann explains.

    From the ICSR Summary:
    Much has been written about the young men and women who join the Islamic State. We are familiar with their biographies and pathways, backgrounds and motivations. But virtually nothing is known about those who quit: the ‘defectors’ who didn’t like what they saw, abandoned their comrades, and fled the Islamic State. Yet their stories could be key to stopping the flow of foreign fighters, countering the group’s propaganda, and exposing its lies and hypocrisy.
    For a short paper, ICSR collected all published stories about people who have left the Islamic State and spoken about their defection. We discovered a total of 58 – a sizable number but probably only a fraction of those who are disillusioned or ready to leave.
    Link, including the full report:http://icsr.info/2015/09/icsr-report...ate-defectors/
