ISIS fighters get a 50% pay cut

[capcher]

“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.

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.

I thought the first to go would be the 'perks' that ISIS fighters enjoy.
If you are motivated enough to serve in that lunatic army, you don't need a salary.

Then I am for $1.00 per gallon gasoline.

And here i am asking like, who is funding them? government or business men? I don't think they just live by stealing?

They should fight the people who is funding them so it may stop.

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.

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.

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.

Would not surprise me if a large part of the foreign aid is under the table going to the bad guys.

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.

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 .

[mOgliE]

LOL!

So the crisis truly is global. Well that's what you get in a worldwide economy 

[madonnino]

how many dollars is paid a fighter isis? is there any source about this?

[a7mos]

So the economic crisis reached ISIS too
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

[Snail2]

According to this 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 .

[Balthazar]

So the economic crisis reached ISIS too

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.

[BCEmporium]

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.

[elite3000]

I thought they received all their payments in post life virgins, sexual slaves, food and shelter, ammunition and pillage
