Why do you help me?

I can get things and put you in touch with people.

My name is Bilal.

Do you have a picture of him?

Unlike you, I may well inquire. People know who I am.

I have to see what I can do.

My dear brothers in Denmark and in Scandinavia.

We're down here now. We are waiting for you. Come and complete your duty.

For Jihad is one of the most important pillars of Islam.

Dear Brothers, I can't say it enough: Come

and help build this amazing and unique country.

For together and with Allah's help we can do everything. Price Allah.

And there are also many down here, And we are getting more and more.

- Are there many brothers from Denmark? - Most are at the front.

- Why aren't you? - So should we. You start here.

- Once you've practiced... - Why are you asking about our brothers?

Only because so few speak English here, And my Arabic could be better.

So it gets better. Every day, if Allah will.

We are not in Syria to chat. Brothers must come from everywhere.

We are not in Syria to chat. Brothers must come from everywhere.

The prophet, may God's peace be with him, said Sabi is Haram.

Abu Hassan! This is not how you are talking.

You don't drink, don't smoke and don't talk like that. This is an ordeal.

You don't drink, don't smoke and don't talk like that. This is an ordeal.

Is Irfan him who always has his brother with? Him sitting in a wheelchair?

Fat, man.

Who said good for you?

Abu Adnan Al-Halabi.

- Nørrebro? - Nørrebro.

You've killed Muslims, right?

Allah strengthens those who believe.

Just try again.

Just try again.

- Let him shoot again. - No.

How can you invoke jihad?

- What? - It's haram to wear gold.

Well, the gold? Don't tell me what I must and don't.

The Prophet said: “If someone from my

faith community dies with gold on...

Does Allah deny him the gold of paradise. I seek refuge at Allah. ”

Who is that guy?

- Abu Amin, brother. - Do you come and teach us about Islam?

Your men smoke cigarettes. They curse and drink.

Do you think God sends soldiers who have fought against evil in hell?

Due to a gold ring and cigarettes?

But like Muslim, it's Wajib. It's my duty to tell you.

Learn Arabic, If you want to read the Qur'an, asshole.

Continue, the people's.

Come. Come on.

Help us, friends.

Help us.

Who are you looking for?

Don't have some decent shoes?

Running now! The smoke is soon gone.

Off!

- Salam Aleikum. - Aleikum salam.

I'm in Turkey, but I'm going home. Go home and we will meet there.

No, no, but where in Turkey are you?

May the Islamic State pass and grow.

Brothers from Denmark, we encourage you to come down here and fight.

- Allahu Akbar. - Allahu Akbar.

I have to go there.

It's al-Qasr. It is here in Syria.

It's an al-Dawlah al-Islamiyah area. Isis.

They kill foreigners who are not on their side as soon as they arrive.

- Sorry. I can't. - Come on. You get money for it.

No, no. It's too dangerous. I can't take responsibility for you.

- Take along as far as you want. - No, it's not.

They do not distinguish between people, but kills you on the spot.

We are traveling.

- Abu Amin and you? - Yes, and some more.

- We are going to Islamic State. - What?

- That's right. - Is Abu Amin on his way to al-Qasr?

Yes. Listen here, Isis intends to come here.

Are they coming here? When?

I don't know. We are going away, before we stand on the wrong side.

That's what Abu Amin says. He says, That Nazir does not follow the right path.

It's going better.

May I sit down?

- Salam Aleikum. - Aleikum salam.

Thanks.

I want to join, brother.

I want to join, brother.

- Where? - Al-Qasr.

I want to join.

- Nazir is not... - No, we know.

You are right. This group is not on the right track.

Nazir is not following the Qur'an. You saw it from the start.

The brothers need warriors. And the one who can shoot.

Listen here. We don't know him. Where does he know all these things from?

I've said that to him.

I have also said, That he should stick to us.

He saved my life. He was at the front of Jihad.

Did you call the right number?

What do you think yourself?

Of course.

They should have provided me with a lift, but...

Are you going to al-Qasr? It is an ISIS controlled area.

- We know that well. - And then you still want to leave?

I put you out of an hour's drive from al-Qasr where it is safe.

Come on.

Come on!

But... what are you doing here?

I would help. I think probably.

My dad wants to have, too, That I come home.

Up with you. Quickly!

You stay here.

Off.

Come on. Off.

I haven't managed to find someone who knows you.

But Abu Amin and Abu Hassan... They know me.

No. Abu Amin has only said good to Abu Hassan.

But...

The men here are traitors. They are worse than Nizam.

They are traitors trying to knock down the revolution from the inside.

Down on your knees!

Down on your knees!

You said you left Al-Awasim because they are apostates committing haram.

Does it fit?

Yes.

- Takbir. - Allahu Akbar.

- Takbir. - Allahu Akbar.

We pray only alone, If we are on the battlefield.

Maybe you can lead us through a prayer one day.

Our police. Those who dictate what is fair, evil and forbidden.

You start now. Follow people for prayer. Then we will see it.

Abu Shahid!

Abu Issa? Abu Issa?

He has joined the Islamic State.

I have to have him out. It's just...

It's hard.

I get him out. I'll probably. I can.

- Listen to him. Promise me that. - Of course.

You shall not tell him, what he has to do.

- I've never done that. - You just have to listen.

Of course! I'm not idiot. But what if he doesn't want to go home?

He shuts down if you try to tell him anything.

Abu Issa?

What are you doing outside so late?

I just needed some fresh air.

You can do that, When I say you must.

Go in and slept. Step off.

Thanks, Emir.

Yes, we do.

You haven't talked together for ten years. Will she talk to you now?

- She didn't want to before. - No, but we're talking together.

You have to go home before finding out why you're here.

Wanna explain why you are here?

- You can't understand that. - I can try.

- Don't be here. - It's not right.

You don't listen. I want to be here.

Okay.

But this...

- It has nothing to do with Islam. - This has everything to do with Islam.

- It has nothing to do with Islam. - This has everything to do with Islam.

Then explain to me that, so I understand it. Why are you here?

I can't explain you that. You can't understand it.

That's okay. Allah has shown me the way.

- Allah has shown you the way? - Yes. You don't understand it.

You have no idea how many people have died because he showed them the way.

Many Muslims have died because of you.

But this is wrong, Adam. They are twenty and robbers.

You have to step. Don't be here. You shouldn't.

Sorry. I'm just trying to understand it. To understand you.

So understand that I would like to stay, That this makes sense to me.

- Other has made no sense! - I understand that.

- No, you don't! - Dimmer you.

I'm not afraid to die. You are afraid of dying.

I'm not afraid to die. You are afraid of dying.

You are angry with all your soldiers, There are dead. We celebrate the death of the dead.

Death is worth more to us than life, And you don't understand it.

Go.

Okay.

But may I say one last thing?

I say one thing to, Adam. One thing and then I go.

I don't do anything. I do nothing.

We love you.

So loud.

Your friends miss you.

- Her... Alma? What is she called? - Alba.

- Her... Alma? What is she called? - Alba.

Alba. She talks to mom. She misses you.

- Abu Musa always asks for you. - Musa doesn't understand it either.

Okay.

It's great, That you have found your faith.

That's the best thing that has happened to you. And it takes nobody from you.

But this... Everyone at home misses you, Adam.

I've talked to an imam i think, You like. He knows many...

You are so joint. You do it there! I don't fall for it.

- Dimming you now. - No, you want to ruin it.

You want it your way! That's what you always do!

- But it matters to me. - Do you bother being quiet now?

- We can't stay here. - I'm aware of that.

- We can't stay here. - I'm aware of that.

There are executions tomorrow. If you don't go home, you end up on a cross.

Because you are a hypocrite. Leave Syria.

Step! Drop me! Drop me, your fucking fool!

Come! Come!

You are progressing before tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll report you.

- What the hell are you doing? Adam? - I mean that.

Step!

Come on. Step!

No, no. There is a young man you have to meet.

He is also a Scandinavian warrior. He trains hard and is very anxious.

We should pray together. For him.

Hey.

Did you find Abu Shahid?

Well.

The Qur'an says:

"Listen, in servants, which has sinned against yourselves...

Never give up the hope of God's mercy. ”

“Allah forgives all sins, For he is the most forgiving...

and most gracious."
