American ISIS member Warren Clark says he wanted to see 'what the group was about'

IN NORTHERN SYRIA — A Texan who says he offered to work as an English teacher for the Islamic State and was captured earlier this month in Syria by U.S.-backed forces said he witnessed executions and crucifixions during the more than three years he spent with the terrorist group.

But 34-year-old Warren Christopher Clark, who is being held in Kurdish custody, told NBC News in an exclusive interview that he does not regret throwing in his lot with ISIS. No Kurdish security were present during the interview.

“I wanted to go see exactly what the group was about, and what they were doing,” he said. “Of course I saw the videos. I think with the beheadings, that’s execution. I’m from the United States, from Texas. They like to execute people, too. So I really don’t see any difference. They might do it off camera, but it’s the same.”

"He said he never fought for ISIS and said he was detained nearly a dozen times for refusing to take up arms."

Uh, I'm all about the rule of law, however when it comes to ISIS and taking up arms against America you are guilty until you prove your innocent. He was captured with ISIS, he better be able to prove this statement because I don't believe it.

I don’t know if you saw the first episodes of Real Detective on HBO. There is one scene in there where the main character is talking to what turns out to be his future wife at a bar. She is a school teacher. It’s set in 1980 and they are talking about their lives, likes and dislikes. He tells her he hunts boars and she tells him she’s a vegetarian. He laughs and says, thats really too bad, don’t even tell me if you’re a Democrat...

He provided aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war. By his own admission he joined up.

“And, yet, from across the room and when she wasn’t drunk, feeling up her partner, she looked the ideal grade school teacher.”

Scary crap. It just blows my mind that CONSERVATIVE PARENTS roboticlly put their kids on their Big Yellow Bus without knowing crap about who’s on the other end and what they think of Conservatives and this country (HINT: for 90% of the - they HATE YOUR GUTS).

It’s like they’re PROGRAMMED to do it and anyone who points out just how HORRIFIC the people working in public schools are - they’re just considered weird people who hate ‘education’.

I was VERY FORTUNATE. I read Thomas Sowell’s books decades ago and with them vowed to NEVER send my kids to public schools. Now they’re (multi) gun-owning conservatives who love Trump. But other kids, most kids, of their generation - they went to public schools and now we get to see the results.

Dear Kurds,
The US government will betray you repeatedly, but actual Americans appreciate your efforts against ISIS. Please dispatch this idiot to shaitan before New Yorkers elect him to Congress. Let us speak of this no more. Thanks.

He’s an evil nut. Drop him from a Blackhawk from 1000ft. right over a dump.

Exactly—moral relativism is all the rage now! (sarc)
These amoral animals see no difference in anything—one rare, now VERY common!
Be afraid America! Because now you cannot say anything is WRONG!

Someone can both be a nut and be evil, an example of that being Hitler.
