The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham has set out a list of rules for residents of Mosul as it seeks to impose its Islamist rules on Iraq's second city.
Referring to the area by its ancient name, Nineveh, the group says it has a clear set of instructions for the remaining occupants of the city and surrounding area.
Firstly it tells "anyone who is asking," who its members are and what it is about: "We are soldiers of Islam and we've taken on our responsibility to bring back glory of the Islamic Caliphate."
All Muslims in the city have bee instructed to attend mosque for the five daily prayers.
It confirms that it seized up to half a billion dollars from the Mosul branch of the Bank of Iraq but states it can be trusted with the funds.
Any one of its members who breach this promise will have their hands cut off.
"No drugs, no alcohol and no cigarettes allowed," it added.
No public gathering other than those organised by ISIS will be allowed at any stage. No guns will be allowed outside of its ranks.

“We are soldiers of Islam and we’ve taken on our responsibility to bring back glory of the Islamic Caliphate.” Come on now. Don’t these guys know that Islamic Caliphate deal is just a right wing straw man and Muslims never say that kind of thing???(/sarc)
Hope the Paulbots and paelocons enjoy the coming blood bath.

wait, you’re blaming the mess in Iraq on the people who opposed having US invade Iraq?
that’s like blaming Obamacare’s mess on the Republicans who voted against Obamacare
Hell no.

Short answer...Yes.
like I say, that’s like blaming the Obamacare mess on the Republicans who never wanted Obamacare in the first place.
To wit: If Saddam was still running Iraq, there wouldn’t be the Islamist chaos that’s happening now. He had those folks locked up, to put it mildly.
ISIS is Sunni, the same as Saddam. Saddam locked up and murdered Shiites. So this is Iraq reverting back to Saddam days.

Wrong! Saddam was in negotiations with a certain wealthy Saudi, when this person was getting booted our of Sudan. To cite just one example. The guy decided to go to Afghanistan instead.

Whoever he was or wasn’t negotiating with, Saddam was a brutal ruler who wouldn’t allow this kind of chaos. We deposed him, and the chaos ensued.
