He saw the weapons some members of the movement carried. He said that most of the people who carried weapons ended up in Syria. Some are in the terrorist groups. 

He gradually started moving life into another way. He dedicated more to College and work, and he had less time to go to mosque. After some time, he realized that the people in mosque are naive.

- I simply did not want to be next to people who are so naive. It came down to that that you believe someone just because he has beard or is covered. My logic does not function on that way. In that moment i decided to step out of it all - said and adds that his parents were relieved.

He distanced from his wife because she wanted to remain in that world. They divorced. 

- I hope if i went, it would be out of curiosity. But all the stuff they are doing, that is God forbid. I could't imagine myself like that, not even when i was the most crazy - said he.
