So, let's see if I get it straight (accidental pun)
shooter kills people to further the cause of IS while visiting gay bars.
Meanwhile, IS thinks the right treatment of gay people is to throw them from tall buildings.
Someone isn't doing their maths right..
Mohamed, who was initially detained in Belgium but later released, urged intelligent Salah, 26, to hand himself into police, telling the RTBF network: Wed rather see him in jail than in a cemetery.
His comments come as it was claimed that Salah, Europe's most wanted man, was a regular in Brussels gay bars, smoked cannabis and spent most of his time playing on his PlayStation.

(2,884 posts)He made contact with people over Skype.
He's described as feeling caught between a rock and a hard place, i.e.
between law enforcement and Daesh.
Not detonating your suicide vest is a no-no with Daesh, apparently..

(2,884 posts)So, it's binary:
either he manages to get to Syria (to a frosty welcome),
or he is caught by law enforcement (with a frosty welcome)
uppityperson
(115,658 posts)I feel sorry for him, for the choices he's made. If they can catch him, perhaps he has info also. If it's too easy, DAESH will go after his family and no matter what, he's looking at isolation in prison.

ISIS is rather loose in its choice of henchmen.

Ex Lurker
(3,783 posts)described her as "panicked" that her cousin was returning from Syria. Reading between the lines, it sounds like she was an unwilling, or at least reluctant, participant. But family trumps everything in these cultures. It's a shame she didn't break free. Things may have turned out different for her, and a lot of other people.

(2,884 posts)viking kitties and winged puppies must die.
Unislamic. winged puppies? Dogs are haram.
And kitties? They're gay. Haram.
Heeeeers Johnny
(423 posts)there goes my idea of winning their hearts and minds with videos of gay, viking, winged Orthodox Jews jamming to Klezmer music.
Yorktown
(2,884 posts)I think ISIS might have a slight prevention against Klezmer music.
On grounds which elude me at present. It's on the tip of my kippa.
