| [Hurriyet Daily News] 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.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) gunnies blew up an 80-year-old church in Syria's northeastern province of Hassaka on Easter Sunday, Syrian state news agency SANA said. SANA, which did not report any casualties, said the forces of Evil had planted explosives inside the Church of the Virgin Mary in Tel Nasri, an Assyrian village in an area where Christian and Kurdish militia have been battling ISIL. ISIL controls the village, the news agency said on April 6. The Lion of Islam group, which controls swathes of Syria and Iraq, espouses a fiercely purist school of Sunni Islam, deeming many other Moslems to be heretics. Its fighters have destroyed Shi'ite and Sufi religious sites and also attacked churches. |
