There are three possible likelihoods,
1. It's true and Western Media is totally misleading us.
2. It's false, Western Media has it spot on and he is either being coerced or has become a supporter of Isis (Stockholm syndrome?).
3. It's somewhere in-between as a mixture of truth and falsehood and we will probably never find out.
I plump for 3 and the sooner we become more critical of the media on both sides the sooner media stops being weaponised in this way.

I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
