It has been two years since we made our journey
to the Islamic State - now we are back in Mosul.
The IS will lose the battle for Mosul -
but at what cost?
Mosul's male refugees are separated from their wives
and checked by covered security forces -
looking for IS terrorists and collaborators.
Only those who are seen to be unsuspicious
will be allowed to enter the refugee camps.
Hey! Hey! Put down the weapons!
Come on, come on!
Sit down! Fast!
If you have been with the IS or not! Sit down!
We saw the destruction of American bombardments,
American weapons and American soldiers.
US- Soldiers in Mosul
Here are some, sitting in the sun
on a roof in the centre of Mosul -
coordinating the next bombardment.
U.S. bombs are no better than IS bombs.
They (the IS) have nothing to do with Islam, nothing.
They have come to destroy the divine message
delivered by the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
They are professional in their fighting
as they have been trained and financed by the wealthiest countries.
They have been trained in the most cultivated
countries to fulfil a specific task.
And now they are implementing what they have been trained for.
They have done this in Iraq.
Which countries?
All the countries that are named in the media,
the media follow this very carefully.
I don't have to tell to you that one country trained them
and another specific country financed them.
In a Humvee we make our way closer to the front-line.
The level of destruction is perverse -
everywhere we stop, gunshots are fired.
As we are filming a dead IS fighter,
an IS sniper fires at us.
IS fighters placed several charges all over the city
and have pulled the trigger of hundreds of car bombs.
This is an Islamic State police car.
You can still see the emblem of the IS on it.
This shows what is left of the anti- Islamic State.
We make our way to an Iraqi sniper position.
From here we can see the minaret of the Al-Nuri mosque.
It is here that the self-proclaimed Caliph of the Islamic State
delivered his only public sermon.
The area around it is still held by IS.
This was once the Al-Salam hospital
intense fighting and American bombs have not left much.
Everything is charred.
Here lie two dead IS fighters.
IS- Courthouse
2014 and today
Visiting the IS court back in 2014,
the judge told me
they were implementing true Islamic law.
I asked him if there were any
executions or amputations scheduled.
He declined to answer,
but an IS terrorist of the media department added:
"If you want an execution or amputation,
let me know, I can arrange that for you."
And that shows that the media department decided
whether someone gets killed or not,
which means that at this court
it was not Islamic justice which was administered,
but terrorist law.
Apprehension of IS suspects
This is not how IS will be destroyed,
this is not how terrorism will be destroyed.
This is how you destroy Mosul,
and cultivate new terrorists.
I went to the market with my daughter.
And suddenly he stormed into the shop.
The market was packed, extremely packed.
Everyone was buying clothes and shoes.
Suddenly, explosions! Things were burning.
Some shops caught fire. Four, five of them.
I went from wandering around with my daughter to cowering on the ground.
I called her name. But she didn't reply.
This boy was severely injured by US bombs.
I know these images from Mosul are very hard to stomach.
But this is what our war on terror looks like.
We are bombing entire cities to the ground,
and are killing thousands of civilians,
allegedly to liberate them.
This does not look like liberation to me.
