Jihadists who have left everything behind in the west to seek glory in the Islamic State Caliphate are finding out the hard way that life isn’t what they assumed.
In other words, they miss going to Starbucks. A new report from the Middle East Media Research Institute took a look at social media posts emerging from ISIS troops in Syria and Iraq and found that there’s widespread dissatisfaction and disillusionment with standards of living, Fox News reports.
The restaurants are terrible, Internet and cell service leave much to be desired and perhaps the worst, people at beauty salons are rude.
“I know it may be shirk [idolatry] but sometimes I do miss Starbucks. The coffee here is beyond wretched,” one militant’s tweet read.
But female militants seem to complain the most.
“There are salons but, trust me, you’re better off getting a sister here to do your hair/make-up etc., for two reasons,” one group blog said. “The style here isn’t really that nice and their makeup most of the time goes toward the clowny look”
In another case, a Belgian fighter made it clear the first day he arrived that he didn’t like ‘Arab food.’
There’s even a certain amount of clash between local and foreign fighters.
“If I hear one more European muhajirah [migrant] trashing Arab sisters I’m going to lose it,” Twitter user @GreenBirdofDabiq tweeted back in early September. “If you didn’t like Arab culture, u shouldn’t have come here. And don’t trash our Syrian sisters who didn’t grow up with the wealth u have. Yr not better than they r and u risk nullifying yr hijrah.”
Fighters bitterly complaining about the difference between western and Arab standards of living is not a new occurrence. Back in September, one British fighter said that local Arabs steal his shoes and don’t know how to line up properly. The complaints came from 27-year-old Omar Hussain, who snuck in to Syria in January 2014. He used to work as a security guard at Morrison’s supermarket.
Still, he maintained that even though there are cultural clashes, Arabs and non-Arabs are united.
In April, terrorists took to social media to whine about menial jobs. They were outraged that they had to clean toilets of senior leaders. Mundane jobs just weren’t what many westerners were expecting upon arrival.
These people are such a bunch of spoiled brats with an obscene sense of entitlement.
Starbucks! The coffee choice of Jihadists everywhere!
And that’s before they have to go blow themselves up.
Or get blown up.
Sounds like Jihadi Green Bird of Dabiq needs a safe space where this type of European imperialistic thought and language is banished.
Boy did these guys join the wrong side
What a bunch of self-centered, juvenile, social misfit degenerate terrorists. May they all be brought soon to Righteous Justice. Losers.
Wait...what?/sarc
Sorry to hear...please file your complaint with the Department of Beheadings and they will get back with you.
I was reading about Jihad John and I remembered this guy, Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, who was one of the English ISIS members who was suspected of being Jihad John. I was reading about him on Wikipedia. Look at the last sentence......
“In July 2015, it was reported that Bary was on the run in Turkey, after having left ISIS. He disguised himself as a refugee and escaped during the ISIS retreat from Tal Abyad in June 2015.”
Disguised himself as a refugee. And this is just one guy. This is what is coming into Europe. This is what traitor to the US military John Kerry and traitor the United states B. Hussein Obama want coming into the USA by the hundreds of thousands...

The freedom to oppress, rape and murder others has its price.
The USA and Russia need to add some macro-aggression on these vermin and end their misery and mayhem.
It is to laugh!
Gee, that reminds me of a few thousand others that obama has got all worked up.
How are they doing on Safe Spaces over there?
"hw d u sa Time-Out in Farsi?"
Signed up for jihad and they are cleaning shitters.....lol
May Hellfire Missile be upon them Upon them all.
When looking into joining a rag-tag group of subversive left-wing radicals, a secret communist cell, a neo-nazi gang, or a bomb-laying group of entrenched anarchists, it's always best to inquire discreetly about the level of accommodations, beverage service, and other amenities before swearing the blood-oath.
In some terrorist organizations, the coffee is simply beyond polite discussion - and you might as well forget about the wellness facilities.
Regards,
Would that be a microaggression?
Or a macroaggression?
In for a penny...
