The jihadist Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... said it was behind the carnage. Al-Zahraa -- whose residents are mostly from the same Alawite sect as Syria's ruling clan and strongman Bashir al-Assad -- has been regularly targeted. In an online statement, IS said two jihadists drove car bombs into crowds of residents in Homs. Posted by: Fred 2016-02-22 |
