[Telegraph] Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) has opened a five-star hotel boasting excellent TripAdvisor reviews for its commanders in jinn-infested Mosul. Folks staying there already? According to reports in Arabic language media, the jihadist group has reopened the Ninawa Hotel in Iraq's second-largest city.
Come for the nice sheets and continental breakfast, stay for the beheadings. | |

#11 Considered seriously, my daughter and I saw this story a few days ago, and we were wondering - who the heck would actually run it? Do the housekeeping, the cooking, the scut-work, maintaining the facility? Do the ISIS volunteers actually include people who have an interest and the skills for the hospitality industry? Is it going to be maintained by slaves captured in war, just as the various states of the caliphate were maintained in the days of the Barbary pirates? Or - is this all for show, putting up a simulacrum of a state/society? How long will it last before it is an unsanitary ruin? Any thoughts among the Rantburgundians with an interest in this kind of thing? |

#9 The hotel will reportedly be available for visiting commanders, but it will also cater for weddings. Ought to make for a good target. |

#4 Couple of good eateries and it'll be in line for Gerbil Worming conferences, too. But does Mosul have the airport accommodations to handle the large number of private jets for that GlowBull Worming Conference? |
