Even for a devout Muslim like Abu Saif, daily life in the Syrian city of Raqqa, which has been conquered by ISIS, is defined by tyranny and oppression. Saif, whose name has been changed for his own safety, told NBC News that "severed heads on fences, and people who are crucified" have become normal sights as ISIS "terrorizes the people and asserts control." over cities it has seized in Syria and Iraq. Saif says "People have started growing their beards, people have started praying on time, and during prayer times all the shops close. All this might come across as small details for some people, but this is a whole lifestyle change for civilians. I think that the majority of civilians are against this." http://nbcnews.to/1qzFq33 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
