to stand in line to kiss a black rock,
like a billion people before and after them."

Militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), who abducted 80 Turks in northern Iraq and who are approaching ever closer to the Iraqi capital Baghdad, have set rules for those living under their control in the province of Nineveh.
The group, which has made clear that it intends to create a new Caliphate, published the document two days after taking the provincial capital Mosul.
Arabic-speaking reporter Jenan Moussa translated the document. A redacted version is as follows:
1) People, you tried secular rulings (Republic, Baathist, Safavid) and they gave you pain. Now is time for the Islamic state of Imam Abu Bakr El Qurashi.
2) For those asking “Who are you?”: We are soldiers of Islam and have taken on our responsibility to bring back the glory of the Islamic Caliphate.
3) Money we took from the Safavid (Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki) government is now public. Only Imam of Muslims can spend it. The hand of anyone who steals will be cut.
4) We ask all Muslims to be on time for prayers in the mosques.
5) We warn tribal leaders and sheikhs not to work with the government and be traitors.
6) No drugs, no alcohol and no cigarettes are allowed.
7) For the police, soldiers and other infidel institutions: You can repent. We have opened special places that will allow you to repent.
8) Gatherings, carrying flags (other than that of the Islamic state) and carrying guns are not allowed. God ordered us to stay united.
9) Our position on shrines and graves is clear. Simply, all will be destroyed.
10) For women: Dress decently and wear wide clothes. Only go out if necessary.
Levant ===>> Eastern Mediterranean counties from Turkey to Egypt.This includes Israel
Iraq(Babylon) and the Lavant. It is the re-creation of the Ancient Assyrian Empire.
These were the first terrorists, three to five millennia ago.
The Anti-Christ is "the Assyrian" ( Isaiah, Micah, Ezekiel )
If they made this a Pan-Islamic movement, most Iraqi Arabs would happily join in. But declaring war on Shia Islam, the majority religion of Iraq? I think they just screwed up big time. This is either going to drive Shiite Arabs into our fold, or Irans. Knowing Obama, Iran probably wins this.
Once we get rid of that stupid Second Amendment, we can use #8 too.
Oh - /sarc
The black rock or stone was not carved by human hands but sent down bu God. Since it is not a human artifact, it is not an idol. The stone is black because it removes sin from those who touch or gaze on it.
Not my religion or belief, but the Sunnis, ISIL, will not destroy it.
No-one should miss the fact that “the Levant” refers to the Eastern edge of the Mediterranean: Israel, Lebanon and Syria.
What’s funny and ironic is that the Muslims claim that all would be peace and joy in the middle east if only Israel was eradicated
Ironically it is Israel that gives them any thing to unite on. Without the excuse of Israel, the various sects and dictators there would ne at each others throats even more than they already are.
7) For the police, soldiers and other infidel institutions: You can repent. We have opened special places that will allow you to repent.
Repent = 1700 ‘lost’ heads and counting.
Yes we are indeed heading for a Third World War. Meanwhile our supposed leaders are to busy trying to play Santa Claus with the money in the treasury to buy votes .
Things are gonna get ugly in the near future & folks who worried about economic collapse or an EMP being the end of the American way of life now have the real threat of radical Islam inside the wire.
The Shia are in the part of Iraq they are not “claiming,” thus freeing Iran to occupy that portion, as if they did not have the whole thing before due to the Shia government.
You beat me to it. Only I was going to say “Hitlery”. LOL!
