Are food products from ISIS-held Mosul making their way to Canada?
2015-10-08
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Tahini, an oily sesame-seed based delicacy popular all around the Middle East, as well as other foodstuffs, could be making their way from 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)-held territory in northern Iraq to the international market including Canadian stores, sources told Al Arabiya News.

Iraq's second largest city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, which was seized by Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) forces in a shock offensive in June last year, has long been famous for its exports of tahini, also known as "rashi al-Mosul."

Many Iraqis believe the finest version of the sauce-- known in the Iraqi vernacular as "rashi" hails from the northern metropolis.

Khadhum Jabar, an Iraqi-based business consultant, said products coming from ISIS-held territories in Mosul could be sold outside its borders with "no problem" with the help of smugglers inside Iraq's autonomous region of Kurdistan.

"Their main corridor [for Mosul products] is Kurdistan and from Kurdistan to other places in central and southern Iraq. It is sold under the disguise that is from Kurdistan," he said, citing grave concerns that ISIS is still being able to sell oil and strategic grains.

He added: "ISIS is in control with three borders. It also takes toll charges from them from trucks."
