    The world I grew up as a shepherd in a remote village along the Syrian-Iraqi borders couldn’t be more different than the world my family left behind a few months ago, when they left home after five years under ISIS.

        Truly a powerful and haunting read. I constantly remind my students to think of the ongoing human toll. Testaments like these are hard to read and comprehend — but deeply necessary.

        Also, Assad isn't the antidote to ISIS, he's the cancer to their tumour (I don't get the morally bankrupt argument of many analysts that the "choice" is tyranny or other forms of terror for Syrians or anyone else rather than freedom & democracy).https://www.thedailybeast.com/assad-henchman-heres-how-we-built-isis …

        Excellent Article of a very personal and tragic reality! I’m so sad for what happened to Dier Ezzor, and other remote Syrian provinces and Iraqi ones too! The atrocities of ISIS became personal and real as I read your family stories, Praying for your parents and siblings dear

        You vouched for ISIS unintentionally. It was ISIS constructed strong Policing system made them able to observe the slightest move in its controlled territory. You are calling beard stigma & added single line clueless of havoc resulted in the US, Russia bombardment.

        Strong policing is not necessarily good. His article shows IS rule as an arbitrary and suffocating presence in the village.
