| [AnNahar] 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 has executed more than 3,000 people in Syria, including hundreds of civilians, in the year since it declared its self-described "caliphate," a monitor said on Sunday. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based group monitoring Syria's conflict, said it had documented 3,027 executions by IS since June 29, 2014. Among those executed are 1,787 civilians, including 74 children, said the Observatory. Members of Sunni Shaitat tribe account for around half of the civilians murdered. IS killed 930 members of the clan in Deir Ezzor last year after they rose up against the Lion of Islam Sunni Moslem group. The toll also includes recent mass killings by IS in the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane, which the jihadist group re-entered briefly this week after being expelled in January. The monitor said it had counted at least 223 executions in the border town this week. The Observatory also documented 216 IS executions of rival rebel factions and Kurdish fighters, as well as the executions of nearly 900 regime forces. IS has also executed 143 of its own members it accused of crimes including spying, many of them captured as they were trying to desert the group, the Observatory said. And at least 8,000 IS Lions of Islam have been killed in battles and U.S.-led air strikes, added the monitor.
