Twisted ISIS hide torture victims from Muslim clerics who disagree with tactics

The Syrian activist revealed he was hung up by his arms before being beaten.

But when clerics visited the prison, they told fighters that prisoners should not be tortured.

They also said prisoners held without charge should be released within 30 days.

Saad - who fled the evil regime in October - said: It's a criminal gang pretending to be a state.

"All this talk about applying Shariah and Islamic values is just propaganda, Daesh is about torture and killing.”

Abu Manaf, 44, claimed clerics were angered by cowardly ISIS fighters on their barbaric methods such as beheadings and chopping off limbs.

Manaf, who fled Deir el-Zour in November last year before reaching Turkey, added: "Many of those moderate clerics disappear, are killed or jailed for crimes they did not commit.”

Saad was arrested for reporting on the anti-Assad opposition but ISIS - also known as Daesh - suspected him of fighting against them for the rebel Free Syrian Army.

After five months behind bars and regular torment, Saad claimed he secured his release by agreeing to do media work for ISIS where he helped develop videos and other propaganda before fleeing to Turkey.

Syrians escaping evil ISIS say the cracks are starting to show from within the extremist group.

Instead of a peaceful "Islamic rule” the fanatical group claims to enforce, many believe ISIS resembles the dictatorship of Syrian President Bashar Assad that many wanted to from their country.

Nayef, who escaped eastern Syrian town of al-Shadadi, said: "Daesh justice has been erratic.

"They started off good and then, gradually, things got worse.”
