He knew darn well what life with Isis would be like before he left, and he still chose to go.  Now he misses the good life in America and is claiming that he "doesn't agree with their idealogy", LOL.  He KNEW their idealogy beforehand, as does nearly everyone on this planet.

I wouldn't trust him.  He knew he would probably be on a mission to do Americans harm, so I don't see why he needs our sympathy now.

Are you seious? he knew who and  what and he joined

it wasn't  a  protest group-free speeech?

we're ta;king about ISIS I don;'t care what he didnt do he still joined a terrorist group that targets and kills innocent people

Let Iraq decide, he was caught there.

My personal thought when I saw his story on the news, was, no way. He gave up that right and I can see him coming back under false pretenses. If his saying is that he was swayed because of a "girl" then, I definitely don't want him here. Too easily swayed.

He's a traitor. What do we do with them, legally?

I know what I would do with him if I ruled the world.......

There is also the issue of setting an example.  If he gets off with no punishment, who knows how many others will decide to" give Isis a try" then feel free to change their minds and come home.

I'm not sure this administration has the chops to be really tough on this guy, and he knows it.  I'd be surprised if his citizenship were revoked, but IMO, it should be automatic in cases like these.

Well, obviously a lot of you have never heard of the rule of law....lol   Or the US Constitution for that matter.  I'm not saying that now laws were broken, I don't know.  I am saying that here in the US of A, that I call home, we don't arrest people based on our "feelings".

Do overs......   Where are the virgins and great food?

In Mosul, he was indoctrinated in Shariah: ”Our daily life was basically prayer, eating, and learning about the religion for about 8 hours. … It was pretty hard to live in Mosul. It’s not like the Western countries. … There’s no smoking.”

And apparently all that brought Khweis to a pivot point; he noted that he “didn’t complete the whole Shariah [Islamic Law]. I didn’t agree with their ideology. That’s when I wanted to escape.”

“I don’t see them as good Muslims,” he added. “I wanted to go back to America.”

Khweis told the Kurdish station that after about a month he “found someone who could take me back to Turkey. First he said he could help me, but then he said it will be difficult to take me all the way to Turkey. He told me he will take me close to Turkey’s border.
