I Lived In A Jihadist Camp In Afghanistan | Minutes With | @LADbible

We sat down with Manwar Ali - an ex-jihadist who fought in Afghanistan, Burma and Kashmir in the 1980s, to hear about his radicalisation story and how he changed his path.

The content director of Lad Bible has literally transformed the channel - incredible journalism that’s all too rare.

"The local people they don't move, you can't incite them to fight, they don't want to fight, they just want a common life, why can't we give them a political hard.

I served in the Canadian Army as an Infantry soldier for 15 years and fought in Afghanistan. The similarities between this mans story and my own are scary.

[spookyt]

When he said "sincerity does not excuse the person and justify the person doing reckless, irresponsible actions." the term "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" came to mind.

LadBible has really transitioned from dumb student memes to this level of content. Amazing.

[feministadentata]

This series is so good. It also makes a great argument for humanity and rehabilitation. A lot of these people have a story, it's not so black-or-white where people are "just evil".

[mattl]

That was heavy. This guy is living his apologies every day. Listening to him, it is more understandable while soldiers are taking their own lives so regularly after coming back.

[Kat-trig]

This man is so well spoken, I could listen to him speak all day. And everything he said was extremely eye opening.

[JuanPyro]

How very eloquent. His tone and voice mannerisms are relaxing.

I've met and talked to this man and as a fellow surgeon was impressed by his integrity and courage. I myself have been kidnapped and tortured twice during my medical missions.

[wreday]

Absolutely moving story, gave me so much perspective.
Its crazy how Ladbible went from completely irrelevant for a time to this. I was surprised to see videos like this pop up all of a sudden on my feed and find it was from them. This is incredible stuff and really an example of how you can use a platform to send a better message and educate people.

"FBI had meetings with Jihadist leaders" that hit me hard

[UnitGFC]

Whoever comes up with this content should get an award, can’t believe this is ladbible - usually associate it with mindless drivel to kill a few mins but this stuff really sticks to your thoughts

[xwinglover]

This was a very eye opening interview. What an intelligent man who has seen the world first hand and chooses to improve it. Great content Ladbible.

[Kdanieli]

these are the types of videos we all need - thank you for sharing Manwar's story

[juliaelrod]

It's easy for us growing up relatively safe here in the USA to say we wouldn't buy into the radical Islam beliefs. But I think if we grew up with this sort of violence all around us. If we had, we would want to do something about it. I can see how easy it would be to fall into a group who have a misguided agenda.

[thomasthewankengine]

It’s so unique to hear it from someone who actually lived it and to hear it from his perspective. Quite like he said, I believe there’s always two sides to the story. I’m glad that he was able to have a change of heart and live the remainder of his life with a different viewpoint. That takes a lot of courage.

[gergandi]

This was such a moving and impressive interview. I admire the courage and the internal integrity of this person. It is not at all easy to admit what he admits and to work on fixing it every single day, and helping other young people. Really impressive!

[kmb]

12 minutes ain't enough. I hope people understand what he's trying to say and don't take wrong path

[KerryDSC]

thank you for sharing his story. He really was sincere in answering the interviewers questions.
