This sounds like a bunch of bad propaganda, but if even 1/4 of it is true, it paints a portrait that is "chilling", yes. But also really to be expected.
From the Mirror:
In a chilling account of life in the killing zone, Ekram explained many IS supporters are drug-crazed as they fight and kill, exhorting their barbaric massacre in the name of Allah.
“They are filthy, with straggly beards and long black nails.
“They have lots of pills with them that they all keep taking. It seems to make them more crazy if anything.
“They become agitated and excited, desperate to punish even children for the smallest thing.”
Locals believe pills found on dead IS soldiers are amphetamines, which fire up the fighters’ greed for killing.
Ekram added: “My 11-year-old son was dragged off a bus by IS. They found a copy of the Koran in his pocket that my wife had given him for luck.
“They ripped it to pieces and threw it on the floor. Realising he was Kurdish, they pushed him into a line to be taken away and beheaded.
“As the terrorists marched them off, they were distracted by incoming fire and my son seized his chance to run.
“He didn’t stop till he got home to find us burying the neighbours’ family. We fled Kobane straight after that.”
"Last week my neighbour, a university professor, asked me to help bury his sister, two brothers and son.
“He was distraught as they had been beheaded and pleaded with me to help find their heads so they could be buried whole.
“We searched as best we could but were told IS had taken them as trophies.
“We buried the bodies and then I fled with my family to Turkey. As we crossed the border the Turkish soldiers jeered and insulted us. They called us ‘stupid people’ and ‘donkeys’. They seem to hate us more than they hate IS.”
But Ekram warned Turkey to be careful what they wish for.
“I know Turkey hates Kurds,” he said. “But they could end up with IS as neighbours, which would be far worse.AND THEN THERE'S THIS:
