| [Al Ahram] Pressure mounted on 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.... group Tuesday as a Kurdish-Arab alliance launched a major assault north of the murderous Moslems' Syrian bastion of Raqa and Iraqi forces advanced on their stronghold of Fallujah. The twin offensives marked some of the most serious ground efforts against IS group since the group declared its self-styled "caliphate" straddling the Syrian-Iraqi border in 2014. |
