| 2014-11-18 |
| [AnNahar] The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... said Monday it remains "fully committed" to tackling the threat posed by the 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.... myrmidon group after it beheaded U.S. aid worker Peter Kassig. EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and humanitarian aid commissioner Christos Stylianides said in a statement that the killing of Kassig and 18 men described as Syrian military personnel showed IS's "resolve to pursue its terror agenda in breach of all universally recognized values and rights." "All perpetrators of human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedomat the convenience of the state... abuses must be held accountable. The EU will spare no effort towards this objective," they said in their statement. "We remain fully committed to tackling the threat posed by ISIL and other terrorist organizations in Syria and Iraq, alongside our regional and international partners." EU countries Belgium, Britannia, Denmark, La Belle France and the Netherlands are participating in U.S.-led air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq, but no EU country is taking part in the strikes against the group in Syria. A video released by IS bully boyz showed the beheading of Kassig, who took the name Abdul-Rahman after converting to Islam, and that of 18 men described as Syrian military personnel. Kassig's death was confirmed by President Barack Obama Ready to Rule from Day One... . The 26-year-old was captured last year and was threatened in an October 3 video showing the beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning. |
