Important

It’s a slow burn but invaluable to understanding isis and its western converts and fighters.

American traitor and ex convict converts to islam

This is the story of American ex convict and islamic terroir Russell Dennison in a nutshell. Russell gets arrested for selling drugs, gets sent to prison where he converts to islam. Russell eventually moves to Syria where he becomes a member of a terrorist organization linked to al qaeda and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. One day bombs rain down upon Russell and he dies.

I have no sympathy for Russell because he chose to join an organization that used homicide bombers to detonate car bombs which killed innocent people. This was Russell path after converting to islam.
