Warren Christopher Clark, who offered to work as an English teacher for ISIS, was captured earlier this month in Syria by U.S.-backed forces and is currently being held in Kurdish custody.
The Muslim convert, 34, had seen all the videos online, but he wanted to see “exactly what the group was about.” What he saw were executions and crucifixions during the three years he spent with ISIS.

“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.”
NARRATOR: It’s not the same.
Just a simple study visit.

Now give him a tour of Guantanamo. I hear it’s nice this time of the year. ??♀️

Fine. Now execute him with a scimitar and give him the whole experience.

Leave him to rot there. Never let him return.

Now hopefully he'll feel what the justice system is about. Leaving the USA to fight against us is treason and punishable by death! Don't waste my money on this animal.

And teaching ISIS militants is definitely fighting against the United States. I don't care if he allegedly wouldn't take up arms. But hey I'd also lie if I was captured too.

He didn't mean nothin' by it, honest….
