This is not Islam’: Refugees fleeing ISIL capital in Syria say

Public execution of three Syrian civilians in Raqq, Syria by  ISIS militants
Public execution of three Syrian civilians in Raqq, by ISIS militants

In the Syrian capital of the Islamic State and the Levant’s self-declared caliphate, Raqqa, the group’s extreme interpretation of Sharia law is enforced through extraordinary punishments, including death. The list of potential violations is long and reminders of the consequences of crossing the groups are on constant display, with executed and beheaded men displayed in public squares and roundabouts, their crimes often detailed in notices pinned to their corpses.

And even so, some say the chaos and destruction that characterizes most of Syria after four years of war is such that the comparative calm in Raqqa resulting from ISIL’s strict governance actually offers a respite.

Those who recently fled from Raqqa to Turkey describe a new form of governance taking root as ISIL, also known as ISIS or Daesh, continues its effort to entrench itself into the social fabric of the capital. Despite daily bombardment from U.S.-led coalition airstrikes on the city, ISIL has managed to expand its reach both geographically and socially, taking control of even the minute details of everyday life.

The group has restored electricity supply, painted road signs, imposed taxes, implemented a new education system and operates a highly functional — albeit punitive and brutal — judicial system. The organization now controls about one-third of the country, and rules over millions of people across Syria and Iraq. The group has commandeered oil refineries and gas fields in the desert terrain, helping to finance its operations.

ISIL police battalions made up of mostly foreign fighters patrol the streets in 4×4’s and on foot, also setting up checkpoints across the city to inspect identification documents and report any violations to the strict code. Residents must provide tax receipts, proving they have paid the mandatory portion of their agricultural or retail dividends to the state, in order to cross.

Billboards, road signs and administrative buildings have been painted with the black flag of the Islamic State. ISIL has issued new drivers licenses, with the black ISIL logo on the back, and conducts driving tests. Armed traffic police issue fines and penalties for traffic violations.

Dress code is strict. Police inspect the length of men’s beards, with violent penalties including public lashings, or imprisonment enforced for those that are too closely shaved.

“They will stop you in the street and tell you your beard is too short. They will even demand to know where you shaved, and may go and arrest that barber!” said Sarmad Al-Jilane, an anti-ISIL activist with the Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently group, who is now living in Gaziantep.

Women must wear the full-length black burqa, complete with niqab and gloves. Female ISIL battalions are deployed to streets and schools to monitor and report any violations of the dress code. Many women have ceased to leave the house.

“My wife didn’t leave the house for six months,” said Mohammed Khedr, now an activist with the Turkey-based Sound and Picture Organisation, which documents human rights violations committed by the group through a network of activists and reporters on the ground.

A graphic designer and advertising professional, Khedr risked his life to print and distribute anti-ISIL leaflets and posters around Raqqa before being forced to flee after the group attempted to co-opt his skills for its propaganda newspaper in April.

“They broke into my house and basically arrested me, telling me I must design a logo for their new news agency, ‘Euphrates News Agency,’ Khedr said. “They offered me a lot of money.”

“I asked for three days to consider it and in that time I arranged to flee to Turkey. I was afraid of retribution against my family once they discovered I had escaped.”

The new regime has banned some American products, including Apple phones, and publicly burned cigarettes and other forbidden items. Khedr said that in Raqqa, he smoked indoors for fear of being caught. Prayer time is rigorously enforced. Retailers must shutter their shops for prayer five times a day, or risk imprisonment or execution, according to Khedr and Jilane. Mosques are overflowing, with men kneeling in prayer filling the streets and sidewalks as the call to prayer echoes across the city.

And while school is not yet mandatory, ISIL has implemented an entirely new curriculum, replacing science, history and arts with only Islamic studies and Arabic. The group forced former teachers under the old regime to sign a document of “repentance” and attend religious instruction classes. Children must attend mosques, where sermons double as a recruiting tool, urging young men to sign up for military training camps.

Tens of thousands of Syrians have fled Raqqa and most minorities have left, including the city’s Christian and Shiite communities. For the Christians that remain, ISIL has imposed a special “jizya,” or tax.

But the city has also become a hub for foreign fighters leaving the West and other Muslim countries to join ISIL. Along with thousands of fighters, the new society has drawn hundreds of foreign professionals, keen to offer their skills in IT, medicine, communications and civics to ISIL.

The muhajireen, or “immigrants” have altered the social fabric of the city, with North African Arabic dialects, French, Russian, Urdu and English now commonly heard in streets and cafes, according to Khedr, as Libyans, Moroccans, Tunisians, French, Chechens, Afghans and Westerners flock to the city.

The influx of foreigners — and the currency they bring — has also augmented the local economy, and a class divide has emerged.

Wealthier foreigners are paid in dollars, often over two times their Syrian counterparts, who are paid in the depreciating Syrian pound, according to Khedr. The injection of cash has driven up prices of basic goods and accommodation, according to Khedr and others, who said Syrians can no longer afford to compete.

He said the muhajireen earn between $600 — $800 a month, while the average Syrian salary previously had been about $400 a month, and is now closer to $75 because of currency depreciation.

Al-Jilane said the muhajireen were often given incentives to immigrate, including gas and electricity at subsidized rates and free housing.

“Electricity is provided for only two hours a day and there is a 3,000 Syrian pound fee (about $16) per month,” he said, adding that the migrants are often provided with free generators.

From his new, temporary home in the Turkish city of Sanliurfa, where he fled with his family in June so he could be treated for cancer, 45-year-old Ahmed said that Syrians now have second-class status in Raqqa.

“They are everywhere,” he said of the foreigners. “They occupy the houses of those that have fled, or sometimes just take apartments that they like in the good neighborhoods.” He said foreign fighters accused a friend of his of being associated with the regime and seized his home.

“The foreigners get two gas bottles for free and don’t have to queue for bread, while we had to pay 7,000 (about $37) a bottle.”

He said he was in Raqqa he was stopped in the street by a group of muhajireen who demanded to inspect his phone for any undesirable contacts.

“They raid Internet cafes and inspect mobile phones to see who you are talking to.”

But with no political solution to the conflict in Syria in sight, and exhausted after four years of war and neglect under the regime of Bashar Assad, some Raqqa residents welcome the restoration of administration in the city. Although under tight control, Raqqa offers one of the few places of order in a country wracked by the chaos of civil war.

“We have got used to it,” explained a Raqqa resident, who gave only his first name as Mohammed, citing fear of reprisals, as he waited to cross back into Syria from the Turkish Akcakale border crossing in January.

“If you are a good Muslim, you have nothing to worry about. As long as you pray five times a day, wear the niqab and don’t smoke,” he said.

Trading cotton across the border in Turkey from the plantations ISIL took control of over a year ago, Mohammed and others even praised the new administration.

Mohammed said he was offered a better salary by the group than he earned as a civil servant under Assad. After spending two years as a refugee in Turkey, he decided Syria under ISIL offered him a better standard of living.

Crime has also been all but eradicated given the extraordinary punishment and security apparatus.

Speaking via the social media messaging service Kik, one American ISIL fighter using the nom de guerre Abu Khalid Al-Amriki told Al Jazeera living in the caliphate was a virtual paradise.

“Imagine living in a drug-free society… where you can leave your business open and no one touches your stuff,” he said.

But for many Syrians, the harsh new security state is an affront to their moderate values, and an atmosphere of fear and suspicion pervades the city.

Ahmed said the risk of death was a pervasive reality.

“I was driving with my children and nephews home one evening and there, in the center of the roundabout were three decapitated soldiers. Their heads had been impaled.”

“I couldn’t stop my kids from seeing it.” said Ahmed. “They call themselves Islamic, but this is not Islam.”

  1. People knows that Isis hates sins,adultery.gay and ect…so stop do that…they can travel to America or any countries that allowed such the sins to be done.In America they even are able to marry a gay.it is legal there..even Christian Priest condemned the married.Many more in brothels in the west..go there.it is a paradise to them.Why find problem?.Any way hard punishment in islam is not to be done..it is only a warning to scare people not to do all bad sins..but Isis also are not understand Islamic laws..they are fighters,not Scholars.Educate people is a priority..but its hard in war times..it is easy to plant its in civilize countries..Civil laws is allowed in Islam..not only nonmuslims who are not understand Islam..it is too many muslims who are not understand the religion.That why too many people are misinterpreted the religion. Havard muslims scholars are the most advance Muslims in their believe.Hear to them.Some material in Islam really hard to understand..such laws philosophy and Tasauf..spiritual or Islamic philosophy.

You can’t condemn Assad for his crimes then forgive ISIS for theirs. they are the same way it’s just done differently.

          Zion (Hebrew: צִיּוֹן‎ Ṣiyyôn), also transliterated Sion, Syon, Tzion or Tsion, is a place name often used as a synonym for Jerusalem.

          Take a look at this stamp by Lilien, for the Keren Kayemet, Vienna, 1901-2.

          The symbolic design presents a Star of David containing the word Zion in Hebrew characters.

          “Sorry I don,t believe Zion news..”, what news?

          1. Read Karen Armstrong book how Jews religion turned to a cult.we Sunnis believe in Torah,Psalm,Injil…but on it,s authentic copy..now can,t be found nowhere…the authentic of the three are lost..some verses of the three of course true..many forged by bad fake priest at the past.Quran is really a perfect conclusion of the three lost holy books.Peace.

            Oh yea we know very well “OBEY”, as – Islam is an Arabic word (الإسلام), al-‘islām. The word Islam in its basic form means submission and obedience. Importance is also used in obedience Muslim terminology.

    4. Yeah, gays and sins only exist in the west. That’s what all the crazies sound like. These radicals are criminals and evil, and are no different than the other criminal fundamentalist who want to rule and impose their ideology on others to oppress.
      Islam and all the man made religions (you name it), are the real disease that infects the human soul and dumbs their mind.
      Funny how you keep blaming the Zionist, and these idiots are acting exactly like them.

      1. At the times of Saddam Isis even not exist..why they are unite and killing in Iraq..you must find the cause.It have link to 9 11 in America..too many articles and expose on that..hear and read..

        1. Yeah Saddam was so much better then ISIS – are you serious! He did the same stuff to any one who opposed him, and oppressed the kurds and shia, and ruled with a ruthless iron fist. It’s like putting lipstick on pig!
          There was great opportunity to make a meaningful change when the ‘Arab Spring” was blossoming, and now it’s ruined by the radical fundamentalist and their sponsors!

          Religions are systems invented and evolved by mankind: All the different kinds from Hinduism, to Buddhism, and to Monotheism (Judeo-christian-muslim) religions were established on certain beliefs about how each system saw their so called “GODS” relevance to nature.
          The monotheistic systems were founded on the principal of a “Promised Land”. And there lies the seed of the problem….and as they say “the rest is history”!

          1. “He did the same stuff to any one who opposed him, and oppressed the kurds and shia, and ruled with a ruthless iron fist.”

            If “He did the same stuff to any one who opposed him”, then wouldn’t that mean he oppressed ANYONE? Not just Kurds and Shiites? Duh

      Well then, Zab … forget what has been made too complicated to understand.
      SIMPLICITY – And the evolution of thought.
      In the ‘Book Of Common Prayer’ there is a statement. The simplicity of it sticks in the mind.

      “Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith.
      THOU shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

      And there it is. Simple.
      In the first sentence, ‘Love’. (Not ‘Obey’.)
      And in the second sentence, the ‘Law’ AND the ‘Prophets’ hang on 2 commandments about love of God and Neighbour. NOT Laws OF the Prophets. They and the Law-Givers are to be guided by those 2 commandments just as much as ALL the Common People – and the Megalomaniacs too.
      It’s THAT simple.

      Call it, in modern language, the ‘Guiding Principle’.
      Assume you believe in the One Allah/God.
      Then you must also believe Allah/God wrote the Commandments – which we have not seen on the stones.
      If you are going to ‘prophesy’ such things as death, destruction, war, pestilence, famine, and everything rotten one human can visit upon another or upon the whole planet, then it is a false prophecy with no Love in it.
      And if you are going to write Laws for a country, you should be guided by the same.
      And in this, with ‘modern thought’, ‘the west’ attempts to make it so for ALL it’s people, in a ’Secular’ society of equality – with the ‘indicated’ freedom of speech having pushed the agenda.
      Lebanon has a long way to go before ‘Confessing’ it’s sins.
      And some ‘others’ may never.
      Should we allow for Allah/God to decide the destiny of those soulless assholes who have ignored completely 2 simple commandments? If we do, the Devils will eliminate the Love. They have none, even for themselves.

      ( The Anglican Church of Canada did not get its own Book of Common Prayer until 1918; prior to that it used the 1662 Church of England BCP. There was a revision in 1962 (probably the last Anglican Prayer Book revision to use traditional language) and a modern-language Book of Alternative Services in 1985.)
      (‘Alternative’ … for the kids who can’t understand English or French. ;-))))

      1. I really believe some of the verses in Bible..but some really fake up by Paulus, a Jew.You need to read how Paulus corrupted some of the verses.Chrisitans are half Muslims.We regarded Jews and Christians as people of books..means..they are believe in Torah.Pslam and Injil (Bible).we urged by Allah to believe on the three..and all Prophets in the three books,but on its, authentic copy..but now lost.

          Yup. Lost. Forgot to stick with the simple.

  2. just sickening to read about their evil and barbaric ideology – just like the zionest or nazi!

    1. Read more killing bring by your western heroes at colonial times..Just got finished reading a book called the “Last Mughal.” It was about the events surrounding the Sepoy rebellion in about 1857. The sepoys butchered every Christian in Delhi, in fact, every Christian they could get their hands on anywhere, Englishman or Indian Christian. Men , women, children, infants. All Christians had to die. Hacked to death. Sound familiar?

      When the English responded, they were uncharacteristically merciless. No prisoners. No mercy for any who helped the sepoys. “You showed the retreating sepoys a ford over the river? Both hands get chopped off.” You get the picture. When the British retook Delhi, they went on a truly murderous rampage, sparing only women and children, and then not always. For example, they hanged 14 of the 16 sons of the last Mughal for his support of the sepoys. Delhi became a ghost town. The suvivors who fled faced starvation and disease outside of Delhi.

      Call it brutal if you like. It worked. That’s all that counts. It was war. A relatively small force of British and allied native troops put down a very large rebellion. It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t a sure thing. There were no more armed uprisings against the British.

      That’s how you get the respect of primitive religious fanatics. Talk to them in a language they understand. It ain’t rocket science.

      Nobody today talks about the brutal British relatiation in Delhi. The winners write the history books.

        1. Jews destroy Iraq by it,s proxy armies..The Americans..then America destroy Sunnis and Shiites by it,s proxy armies..Iraqis Shiites armies.American needn,t their boots on the ground..Shiites Iraqis armies did their mission.

          1. No you weren’t called a Muslim hater! You were called a conspiracy theorist. And you used “the evidence is staring you in the face” as your proof. I asked you to use that in a thesis.

            The evidence is staring everyone in the eyes, your sunna, however you want to define it, has created a majority of fanatics. From Indonesia to Morocco, your youth grew to talk like you, to think like zabada and act like bin laden, your ultimate hero.
            Some people believed your dictators that the Sunna isn’t “this” but others saw the massive joy on the streets on 9/12 and they knew the truth since then. Now it is for all to see that these few people were right, that given the chance to rule, the people in its majority will choose an Islamic fanatic system.
            In all the sunna countries, and your sunna was even capable of corrupting Turkey lately, you have at least a big minority of Islamists (Tunis) all the way to a large majority of Islamists.
            That’s all your sunna has achieved. Tyrants, dictators and suicide bombers.
            You can see if you want, because the evidence is there. Or you can look away and go bark on hind. (My money is on option two)

          3. sweetie keep barking but your bark has no bite. What I see is you peddling “the evidence is staring you in the eyes” with no facts or hard evidence. Lol you really should use that in a thesis

            No, there is “morality” police in Iran and its stupid. What I meant was the dress code for women has not really been enforced. You can see that by the way the women in Iran continue to push the limits of what is considered appropriate. Their hijab is practically falling off their heads as they walk the streets.

            The only thing Tehran and Raqqa have in common is that they are both governed by Muslim men. In my opinion the similarities end there. If you have other examples of how they are similar feel free to share.

          5. So that’s where the similarities end?
            I will give you one more example and then you have to do some research on your own.

            Yeah, I guess there are a lot more similarities since they both use Sharia law. Can we really include that one when it’s not really unique to daesh or Iran? Almost all of the countries governing and creating laws based off of Sharia law will have similarities.

          12. Yes, they all look good!

      3. khah..khah,,khah.

  4. The world will call it is true Islam if Muslims give up their necks to be cut by America,Zionist and Israel force without resistance.All Muslims must obey and thanks to their killers and oppressors.Muslims must be patients and only see the crimes perpetrated on them by western Zion force..because Islam is a peace full religion ,Muslims must remain peace full even Zion is killing,bombing them to pieces.It is true Islam they want.

    1. Dr Zabada,

      Why does your logic and template of standard NOT apply to Muslims slaughtering Muslims? I understand that Zionists and Americans do have their selfish missions and motives and certainly have blood of Muslims on their hands, but is it possible that the hundreds of thousands of Muslims killed by other Muslims is just? by ALLAH himself??? Many and many of those slaughtered Muslims died at the hands of the Syrian regime and Isis blood thirsty killers, are you certain that the victims are 100% positively not Good Muslims deserving of a violent death?

      Some criticize some of your views including myself at times but in my opinion you have a sincere desire to be godly and have many reasons to be upset with the horror taking place in Syria but take my advice that there is No good guys left in this war, only civilians running for their life from Allah’s followers that are so convinced they are entitled to condemn and judge…..please dont be one of them Zabada. you are intelligent and sincere I believe but you have not looked for a higher standard, you only lowered it to accept Isis as a lesser evil than Zionist or America. ALL are subject to imperfect MANLY selfish and foolish causes. taking the life of civilians that are praying to Allah is a BIG SIN against Allah, I respectfully suggest that you reevaluate and refine your opinion. I think you can do better.

      1. the Shiites are not Muslims..Qadiani is not Muslims…many more who called them selves is Muslims..but they are really are not…there are many regulation to be a true Muslims..you are far from understand.Some Christians believe in Allah..they are not Muslims.An aboriginal believe in God..they are not muslims.Syrian regime is not Muslim..they are the Shiites Alawis.They even worship Assad ..Allah is not killing people..it,s people who are killing each others..Christian killing over 100 millions among them selves in two world wars….like a true muslims i,ll stick on my believe to the end.

          Yes, you are right that it is humans killing humans. While each of the ‘True Believers’ all consider themselves to be so. But ‘forcing’ a belief system of ANY kind is not being ‘true’ to the concepts of a humanity which attempts to view itself as ‘humane’ a few thousand years later – or to find it’s way out of that inhumanity of a radically different time period experienced by those who went before, and recorded the atrocities.
          In the present world, there is simply no justification for it.

          1. Sunnis are not forcing people to convert..Zion news really crazy..they are scare to isis…so they discredit isis badly to lured the world to bombarding them..I ve Buddhas..Christians friends.It is their business to believe what they like..but defending Sunnis is really our business..if they are true.If these Sunnis people also wrong we are not going defend them to death.

            Why don’t you ask your ISIS brothers where are the 200 Assyrian Christians that were kidnapped in Syria back in February? But this time don’t blame the Jews. I have many friends who are missing their families that were forced out of their homes in Khabour.

          3. o.k..I will point out Baghdadi to release them.He will hear me..he he he..anyway you are waver on 200 Christians Sunnis brothers..who are may be a threat to Sunnis politic gain in Iraq..since they will sided their Christians crusade armies in America or else where,,or may be they sided the Shiites..so quarantine them is important..and you are not wobble on over 1 million Sunnis genocide by America coalition ..and more death when Zion games is eventually going on in Iraq even to day.If Muslims killing the whites.. 2 or 3 of them ..they calling us terrorist,,otherwise when the White America killing over 1 million of us,,they are not terrorist..you .it is fair ?.

            You know you always have some khara excuse for ISIS. You know not all Sunnis agree with them or follow their ideology. And to let you know those 200 Christians are mostly women and children who did nothing to your F’d up so called brothers. They were FORCED out of their homes. But I’m sure you’re going to come up with some more khara about America zionst play games now Sunni’s have to defend themselves blah blah. Even though they are fighting against their own muslim brothers. How many Shia have been kidnapped and killed??? Not just in Syria but in Iraq too. But again you will say people have to obey the government. What you fail to realize those isis criminals are forcing their way into the government. Who are they to force people to convert, or to pay extra taxes, kidnap little girls and force them into sex slavery. Nobody is allowed to smoke but those so called criminals can buy sex slaves (who are not Sunni’s by the way) and violently rape them over and overt again and the little girl will be passed onto someone else. Spare me your lecture on rape in America and Western countries because I am aware of them. But if your so called Sunni ISIS are religious people what gives them a right to force their will onto someone else?? They have no right. You think they are winning but I have said this before and I will say it again. Their time is coming up soon. Their reward won’t be any 72 virgins so just get over yourselves. Really is that all you people think about is virgins??

          5. “How many Shia have been kidnapped and killed?”

            How many Sunnis and Christians have been kidnapped and killed in Iraq by Shiite terrorists BEFORE Isis existed?
            Or do you only look at the effect but not the cause?

          9. no slave sex in isis,,,,it is Zion fake news. Isis get tax from Christian and Christians can rest in their home…and isis is fighting to death to protect them with the tax.It is fair..Zion make mistake created isis and Shiites gov to fight each othe.,,if Zion let them in peace..it is no isis…there are no isis at the times of Saddam..Saddam is secular..otherwise isis is Caliphate…unlike secular sate,Caliphate will solve problem with guns,,likely to America…so it is fair..Oppressors who planted the uprising..if you are going to oppress people..they will rise,,it is common sense..so don,t oppress people at it worse likely to America have done in iraq,Sunnis are not fighting for virgins..it,s many virgin in here to get married..but to protect Sunnis land,religion,glory and their oil and prevent Zion to rob the oil,politic and territories..there are many nation on the earth are fighting to save their nation..so Sunnis Iraqis..fighting for virgin is weird..it is nonsense,,it is Christians playing words on us….the truth non of sunnis are fighting for virgins.They are lies.

            If the 200 are ‘in jail’, to protect ‘a state’, then that state should have the common human decency to publish their names and show they are being cared for – something the Red Cross was used to handling in other wars – for some relief of the families they are missed from.

            Yes they are….it’s your ISIS brothers. Like I said the 200 people that were kidnapped from Khabour are awaiting “islamic court”. How do I know this??? The head of my church have been negotiating their release through a mediator. Do you know how much your brothers want for the 200 Assyrians who were FORCED out of their homes?? 100k per person. They were UNARMED, why did they kidnap them?? And yes your ISIS brothers do have sex slaves, they use young girls (who are not Sunni) to please them. They pass them around like toys until they can’t use them anymore. As so many other’s (Shia, Yazidis, even other Sunni) that have been a victim at the hands of these murderers. Yet all you can say is “America this and Zion that”. Let’s not forget the Lebanese servicemen that were kidnapped since last August. I can’t imagine what these poor people are going through. Maybe it’s better to die than to be a hostage of these savage killers.

        2. Stick to your beliefs to the end and to your low standard. you are trapped in your reasoning because you refuse to disqualify Isis war crimes just because other war mongers and criminals did the same things decades before, its all true humans are capable of all the things you mention regardless of nationality or religion, my problem with you is that you condemn others yet you condone Isis for doing the same thing

          1. I scare to God to abandon him and my believe…I can,t stand in hell fire.it is too hot.you are brave and strong…and you are able to take hell fire.. hell can,t hurt you…so you are free to believe what you..even it is wrong..Like other .Isis is Sunnis,,,like I said they are force to killing..I guess it is the Shiites who started genocide them..likely in Syria Assad Alawis who started genocide Sunnis..in Iraq America collaborated with the Shiites genocide Sunnis there..from 2003 to 2013..both killing 6000,000 Sunnis..you don,t care if Sunnis are killed in Syria or Iraq..because you are not one of Sunnis..but we Sunnis all over the world take care them..if Zionists force are going to hurt our leg..so our left leg will feel sick..our brotherhood too strong to abandon them..that why there are thousands of Sunnis are already fighting in Iraq and Syria,and increasing day by day..unpaid fighters..even they were killed..more will come.As I said Zion make mistake by mes up with Iraqis Sunnis..they have too many brothers all over the world..hence this war is not going ended easily.Even Obama said.. we Americans are not fighting Muslims..but he is fool..Iraqis Sunnis are muslims ,,they are not Hindus.I bet..the mistake by Zion in Iraq can,t solve forever..if they are not going to defeat all militants.not only isis..In future they are going to harm Israel and nwo ..so Zion also forced to continue the war..also muslims Sunnis are force to fight to death..that why Zion masters must using their brain before they are going to plan any games on Arabs,especially on Arab Sunnis.But these arrogant Zion are bogus.The situation eventually can not stop the war.So don,t blame any militants..religion is another case..it is Zion game is the main cause for the increasing wars in Middle East.,,,religion only unite them at it best.I see no way for Zion are able to turn back it,s game to normal like before.No way out..Anyway tou will continue to blame Muslims Sunnis militants..and i m not going to force you to stand with us….it is on you to blame any side you like..you are free to so..

          2. Zabada,

            If you were born in Iran you would have been likely been a Shia
            If you were born in italy you would have likely been Catholic
            If you were born in India you would have likely been Hindu
            If you would have been born in China you have been budist
            If you would have been born in Greece you would have likely been orthodox
            If you would have been born in Israel you would have likely been Jew

            Every one of us must question our bias and our natural tendencies to be sectarian to that which we are born into, the problem is all the sects are convinced they are 100% right! Is that even possible? is the evidence pointing to peaceful people?

            The context of what I am discussing is the behavior and brutality of Isis which I dont associate with All Sunnis, any radical sect including christian Jew or Shia in extreme form can justify bad behavior and justify it as You are doing instead of shunning it. it is a Human defect amplified by feel good religion instead of disqualifying it because it is ungodly and in human by any standard.

            I have no issue for your desire to please God, I actually applaude it, but doing it out of fear from burning in hell is something I would not subscribe to, understanding Gods laws and principles convinces me that they are in place to protect ALL humans regardless of nationality or sect. If I embrace them it is NOT out of fear, but because they serve a purpose and a protection that is productive universally and I find them to be delightful. just as a red traffic light serves a purpose of protecting ALL motorists form dangerous collisions.

            If you had 5 children would it be wiser to threaten them with putting them in the oven to burn if they disobey you or would you teach them the purpose of your house rules and make them understand and embrace the fact that it is for their own protection? even you r own children would question you if you love one and abandon the other or feed one and starve the other.

            when victims of civil war that have been subjected to rape, robbery, beheadings, drownings, and many other injustices, they have every right to question you or anyone else if you truly are representing Islam or any other religion proclaiming to be the face of God.

          3. lmfao.
            Funny how you Never barked the following at the biggest sectarian whore, daft mare.

            You know back in the 70’s before the civil war before my parents left Lebanon, they had many muslim neighbors. Each household in the neighborhood always went to each other’s house (muslims and christians) and celebrated holidays together. They celebrated Eid, Christmas and Easter. The ladies would have their morning coffee on the balcony. If there was a death in the family the rest of the neighborhood would be cooking up meals for the household in which the person passed away to be sure everyone was fed when people would arrive and offer their condolences. There wasn’t this turmoil and disdain you see today. There is too much evil in the world. Who know’s perhaps the end is closer than we all know.

          7. How nice it is to wake up to 2 emails from you Virgo 😉 my bed time story and Propofol came earlier than usual last night and I missed your message.

            You are correct that coexistence was examplefied as a model to be proud of in Lebanon not that long ago. The nice people you mention were victimized as a whole by trouble makers that were convinced they have better ideas and look at the results 250.000 people dead, countless injured, majority grew up without schooling and skills to join the workforce and a country reduced to rubles.

            Still in 2015 inability to have a functioning government that can provide basic needs like electricity and sanitations. yet plenty of money available for weapons and ammunition..

            The syrian tragedy will prove to be much worse and last for decades longer yet all the world powers overlook the suffering taking place and respond with small token moves as if it is a chess game they are playing, so what happens? lawlessness grows and takes over as you see before your eyes, you are not only sweet but also wise in what you mentioned in the end of you comment, I hope you know what follows after that 🙂 follow the signs its all that matters!

      It’s called ‘Editorial Policy’ … some Editors get fired for allowing something beyond what the owner wants to hear on the page – even if it’s a truth. ‘The Masses’ are controlled this way – even in Religion. 😉

    These are not Syrians these are agents of WAR. The Syrian ppl were 75% complete with Assads removal and new elections and next thing you see is Obama changing his mind France had jets ready to take out assad but the zionist elites chose to keep the brutal assad in power. This ISIL is ruining the image of the brave Syrian opposition from Al Nusra to the FSA to the Al Sham group. These Iraqis and Asians and Africans need to leave our country. Syria is for all Syrians.

    1. Assad is happy..because opposition is not unite.
