Hundreds Of ISIS Members Quit After Receiving Less Of What They Were Promised

Since January, members of the ISIS have started fleeing from the terrorist group because they didn't get the money, luxury cars, goods, beautiful wives and sex slaves they were promised.

Unilad reports 200 individuals have escaped the brutal group ran by the Islamic State after their salary was reduced from £260 per month to only £65.

"Fighters have left recently as the money which was once lavished on them has become increasingly less reliable," a source told Mirror. "Some are unhappy with their prospects."

According to a report published by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence, former terrorists also left the group after they "quickly realised that none of the luxury goods and cars that they had been promised would materialise."

Male fighters were even guaranteed with beautiful wives and sex slaves taken from minority groups conquered by the ISIS but were given nothing.

58 of these individuals have spoken out against the brutality, corruption and quality of life they experienced in the deadly war zone. 51 male and 7 female former jihadis from 17 different countries, including two from UK, were followed by researchers at King's College London.

According to them, the ISIS' image as a "united, cohesive and ideologically committed organisation" was shattered after they were lured to join. "They demonstrate that IS is not the jihadist utopia that the group's videos promise; and that many of its own fighters have deep concerns about the group's strategy and tactics."

As the IS continues to employ members globally, these defectors have spoken out to contribute to preventing potential recruits. The report stressed, however, that it "does not attempt to excuse, justify or glorify people's decision to join IS", adding they were "likely to have committed crimes."

"They joined the most violent and totalitarian organisation of our age, yet they have also become its victims," the report stated. "Their stories can be used as potentially powerful tools in the fight against it."

Currently, a total of 700 Britons were already lured to join the war in Syria.
