'Blood up to your knees': defeated IS jihadists still defiant
2019-03-09
[PULSE.NG] Defeated but unrepentant, some jihadists limping out of their besieged final bastion in eastern Syria still praise 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 and promise bloody vengeance against its enemies.

The skeletal and dishevelled figures shuffling out of the smouldering ashes of the "caliphate" may look like a procession of zombies, but their devotion seems intact.

#13  And in a war you keep killing them, until they are tired of the killing and commit to total surrender. If they don't quit, you simply kill them all. It has always been thus.

#12  Isis jihadis and their spouses and children are broken people. There is no rehabilitation for them. They are pledged to destroy western civilization. This is not a law enforcement issue but rather it is war. They are the enemy and need to be destroyed.

It is anathema to western civilazion to do this action but this is a war to the death.

#11  Simple way to identify them -- collect their heads and send them to mosques around the world for identification.

#10  A third woman snarks at the way the news hound is dressed: "God curses women who resemble men".

I was wondering where the idea of all the barbecue covers came from.

#8  But rather than do the right thing for civilization, we want to play make believe...

I'm a big fan of the Rule of Law, but it is becoming increasingly obvious that treating terrorism and jihad as a criminal matter is simply insane.

#7  They are stateless, non-uniformed men under arms in a time of war and insurrection. The solution to those circumstances is more than obvious. But rather than do the right thing for civilization, we want to play make believe like Brian Keith pulling out his ticket book for the nuclear sub in the Russians are Coming, The Russians are coming.

#5  As caliphate crumbles, ISIS fighters rage over absent leader al-Baghdadi

ISIS militants who have surrendered to coalition forces believe that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has abandoned the struggle when his leadership was needed most.

Has anyone looked in Omar's brother's home, Minnesota? Might be a good place to start.

#4  You realize, if ISIS was composed of white men, the screeching for total annihilation would be deafening...
