Claiming the Quran’s support, the Islamic State codifies sex slavery in conquered regions of Iraq and Syria and uses the practice as a recruiting tool

We need to ship thousands of cases of Bengay over there and make sure it gets into the right hands. If things really get good there'll be guerrilla-surgeons picking up ISIS fighters, giving them sex changes, and throwing them back at their compatriots while the surgeries are still fresh.

They are just practising their religion. Who are we to judge? Damn cultural chauvenists.

Was it Hillary Clinton who said that freedom is a cultural thing? Perhaps that's the issue - we're pushing our western values and expectations on these guys.

I've hoped for a while that all the industrial money leaving China would go to Africa, start to bring in infrastructure across the continent, and from there the barbarians would be getting squeezed in from both the north and the south by a world that they just don't fit into anymore. They'd be able to either live in Saudi Arabia or hop a plane and go to North Korea, and that would be about as much relevant range as they could get. This just makes me feel all the more like it needs to happen yesterday.

you can use religious conviction to justify and even glorify literally anything.

which is why it is best kept out of governance and law.

The muslamists should move to the moon. After all, they are lunar worshippers. A change in gravity might do them some good.

It's not alright.

However, it is a stated goal of da'esh to draw the united states into their "holy war".

And i don't necessarily think that we should oblige their desires. Certainly not on their terms.

Nonsense. They are being used for target practise, and have never been in a position to dictate terms.

I think we would be talking about ISIS more if we were talking about Palestine a lot less.

They control large portions of Iraq and Syria.

The traffic in yazidi and christian women as sex slaves has gotten to a point where there is a persistent infrastructure of holding facilities, vans for transport, a sales force, the whole 9 yards.

Being grinded down while surrounded and contained in a landlock is the opposite of being in control.

Prisoners of war can be treated as slaves according to the Quran. Islam is a sick and evil religion.

A interesting article about ISIS made in February. It's a long one.

I knew they were fanatics, but not THAT fanatics. Still they could be trapped in Dabiq, they are obsessed with Dabiq.

Quote:
A recent propaganda video shows clips from Hollywood war movies set in medieval times—perhaps because many of the prophecies specify that the armies will be on horseback or carrying ancient weapons.

Maybe NATO should sell them swords, they would be less dangerous that with guns.

It seems that every x hundred of years, a booming radical islam occurs, as if it's a cycle in the islamic history.

Before ISIS, there was the Taliban expansion, before it the Wahhabi expansion, and before it caliphate expansions, before it, the first Islamic expansion.

And most of these expansions were mostly waged against moderate/less radical muslims, to 'remind' them of the original Islam.

Saudi Arabia's regime is the root of all Sunnite radicalism today .

Iranian regime is the root of all Shiite radicalism today .

As long these two stay in power, this will keep happening.

Check this out!

The leader of the Islamic State extremist group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, raped an American hostage multiple times before she died earlier this year, according to a new report by ABC News.
