    In 2014, he left Columbia University for an ISIS camp in Syria. It was a mistake: “I was surrounded by emptiness,” he said, “people without goodness and rampant evildoing.”https://nyti.ms/2yOtvzG

        That’s how I felt after I supported Obama. Betrayed. Empty. Had to #walkaway from the democrats who are now elitist leftist bolsheviks who hate America.

        This just reinforces the thought that those expensive pieces of paper given out at university's are just that, paper. Doesn't mean you're educated

        Um...not to state the obvious, but WTF DID HE THINK THEY ARE ABOUT?!?! They kill, maim, rape and suppress even birdsong. How could you think they were anything but heartless, twisted cowardly and cruel beings? What made you think they are nice? What?

        Columbia probably gave him a scholarship for joining ISIS and will give him an award.

        Sure, release him, and we'll se what an ISIS recruit can do. Are they really THAT stupid and gullible to think that he "just made a mistake"?
