Title: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: capcher on January 20, 2016, 04:56:27 AM Quote “On account of the exceptional circumstances the Islamic State is facing, it has been decided to reduce the salaries that are paid to all mujahideen by half,” reads the official notice, which was translated and first published by Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi, an ISIS expert and fellow at the Middle East Forum. “It is not allowed for anyone to be exempted from this decision, whatever his position.” It also notes that fighters will continue to be paid twice a month, as usual. http://www.vocativ.com/news/272430/isis-cuts-fighters-salaries-in-half-as-group-suffers-crippling-blows/ Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: bryant.coleman on January 20, 2016, 04:45:45 PM The major ISIS supply lines are under tremendous strain right now. In the North, the Kurds and the Syrian regime forces are attacking Manbij from all sides. In the South, the regime forces are advancing along the Jordanian border. And the falling crude oil prices have delivered another crippling blow to the Jhadis, as the Turks are no longer interested in buying their oil.

If you are motivated enough to serve in that lunatic army, you don't need a salary.

I don't think they just live by stealing?
They should fight the people who is funding them so it may stop. Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: eddie13 on January 20, 2016, 09:48:59 PM IS is pulling a Cryptsy!! INSOLVENT

They will just diversify into other criminal enterprises. Extortion, kidnapping for ransom are easy kills. Some western governments are known to pay ransoms for their citizens.

I don't think they just live by stealing? Those who are funding them, are unfortunately some of the best allies of the Americans, such as the Saudis, Qataris, Kuwaitis, Pakistanis and the Turks. There is not much out there remaining to be stolen, so now their main source of revenue is from the foreign donations. And no one is certain about how much they are getting through these sources. Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: DaddyMonsi on January 21, 2016, 02:23:00 AM I dont have any idea on who is fuding ISIS but im not going to be surprised if they are big companies related or have a a subsidiary related to arms and ammunition... to keep the business going.

Then I am for $1.00 per gallon gasoline. it wont reach 1$ for sure, they will stop production if that is the case. ISIS wont go down that easily , thousands and ten thousands of people who lost everything cos of tha imperial western minds hve no other choice than to fight with the ISIS to have a livelihood. Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: Snail2 on January 21, 2016, 10:01:46 AM Well, then those underpaid "fighters" probably going to turn up here in Europe in a few months as syrian refuges in search for a better and safer life :).
Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: mOgliE on January 21, 2016, 10:06:42 AM LOL!
So the crisis truly is global. Well that's what you get in a worldwide economy ;D Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: madonnino on January 21, 2016, 11:00:39 AM how many dollars is paid a fighter isis? is there any source about this?
Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: a7mos on January 21, 2016, 12:36:40 PM So the economic crisis reached ISIS too :D
i think ISIS is effected by the low oil prices as their main money source after invading new cities and stealing their banks is selling oil Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: Snail2 on January 21, 2016, 01:10:01 PM how many dollars is paid a fighter isis? is there any source about this? According to this http://www.iraqinews.com/features/isis-abu-bakr-al-baghdadi-grants-1200-house-furnishings-members-wish-marry/ (http://www.iraqinews.com/features/isis-abu-bakr-al-baghdadi-grants-1200-house-furnishings-members-wish-marry/) "The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights had published earlier that the monthly salaries given to the fighters of ISIS distributed as follows: The Syrian fighter earns a monthly salary of $400. The Syrian married fighter gets an amount of $ 50 for each child, $100 for each wife, in addition to the basic monthly salary of $400, as well as providing a house if the fighter does not have a place to live, fuel for his car from gas stations which are managed by the organization of ISIS in addition to receiving fuel for heating." But as I heard a part of their income comes from looting. The bad news: ISIS don't paying pension and life insurance :). Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: Balthazar on January 21, 2016, 01:26:57 PM So the economic crisis reached ISIS too :D Their workers are suffering some damage due to worsening of market situation. Why not? ISIS is a commercial project, no different from gas station or confectionary plant. Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: BCEmporium on January 21, 2016, 03:38:31 PM No problem, they can cut up to 90% now, their members have no way to run to, so they won't leave because they can't. They're wanted criminals everywhere.
Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: elite3000 on January 21, 2016, 04:07:37 PM I thought they received all their payments in post life virgins, sexual slaves, food and shelter, ammunition and pillage

But as I heard a part of their income comes from looting. The bad news: ISIS don't paying pension and life insurance :). $400 should be reasonably good money in a developing country. $100 per wife is an incentive for Syrians to take as many wives as they can. I am sure there will be an upper limit. :P Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: salinizm on January 21, 2016, 06:16:30 PM Quote “On account of the exceptional circumstances the Islamic State is facing, it has been decided to reduce the salaries that are paid to all mujahideen by half,” reads the official notice, which was translated and first published by Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi, an ISIS expert and fellow at the Middle East Forum. “It is not allowed for anyone to be exempted from this decision, whatever his position.” It also notes that fighters will continue to be paid twice a month, as usual. http://www.vocativ.com/news/272430/isis-cuts-fighters-salaries-in-half-as-group-suffers-crippling-blows/ isis is head to collapse.. so they have to reduce their expenses.. Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: countryfree on January 21, 2016, 06:25:53 PM isis is head to collapse.. so they have to reduce their expenses.. That has already started, they don't pay their women. The American woman who asks her husband money to go shopping, doesn't get anything in Irak. I hope those financial difficulties will prevent them to buy more ammunitions and guns. Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: Daniel91 on January 21, 2016, 07:47:45 PM I hope their terror will come to end soon.
It's obvious they have more and more problems, not just financial. If they can't pay well their soldiers, they may loose inspiration to fight for them, what is good. It will be great if Russia and USA could unite and fight together against them. Because of this divisions in Syria, they are not yet defeated but I think they have no chance to win and soon or later they will loose everything. I worry what will happen after that in Syria. Period of peace and stability or new war. Title: Re: ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut Post by: bizerinm on February 02, 2016, 09:25:09 PM Kurds and Russian are doing well, Kurds attacking them from earth and Russian bombing oil industry and trucks. So they will find themselves in financial problems. They still earn a lot on smuggling ancient figures stolen in museums in Syria and Iraq and selling it on black market,but they made a lot of people joining them because of money and now need to cut off their 'wages'..those brave fighters probably will want to escape but they are in trap because deserting from isis is not so easy and they are terrorists in all other world
