Harrowing drama

I DISAGREE with Christopher Stevens’s review of The State (Mail). The drama showed how stupid and naive are those who go to Syria to join ISIS and the reality of this barbaric and misogynistic regime.

Rather than glorifying this brutal, medieval and insane society, the drama highlighted how those who go to Syria are swiftly disillusioned, especially the women who are foolish enough to believe the lies.

I believe this drama could deter young people from joining ISIS and so should be compulsory viewing. It was grim and harrowing, but true. C. BURCHINSHAW,
