Mohammed Noor Masri: should he come home?


READ MORE

In early 2015, Mohammed Noor Masri travelled from Sydney to Syria to join the Islamic State.


He says he was ignorant of IS’s genocide, slavery and beheadings even though, months earlier, an Australian child who was the son of another Islamic State member, Khaled Sharrouf, was pictured on front pages holding the severed head of a Syrian soldier.


Masri claims he just wanted to join a society where one could follow a pure form for Islam.


He also claims that, once in Syria, he did no fighting and saw few atrocities. He kept his head down and used his skills as a tradesman to work in the hospital in the IS capital, Raqqa, he says.
