ISIL crucifies eight rival fighters
Reuters ^ | June 29, 2014 | beirut

(Reuters) - Eight rebel fighters have been crucified in Syria by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) because they were considered too moderate, a monitoring group said on Sunday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on contacts on the ground in Syria, said the men were crucified on Saturday in Aleppo province. It added that their corpses were still on view.

The Observatory said clashes between rival Islamist groups in Syria had killed around 7,000 people since January, as militants from ISIL try to strengthen their grip on territory.

I rate “because they were considered too moderate” right up there with “ISIL is to radical even for Al Qaeda” -I don’t believe any of that. That’s the media trying to salvage some respect for any of these so called rebels that are for the most part jihadist or jihadist lead.

These are internal power struggles, pure and simple. Who’s in charge, who gets the biggest cut of war booty and who’s first in line for the next rape.

“Yep. muhammad was a terrorist so I expect nothing less of his followers.”

It is in their DNA which has been selectively produced for centuries.

Then their parents, grand parents, uncles and aunts raise them to be terrorists and killers.

Their religious leaders inforce this at their mosques.

Yet, we have those, who want to negotiate with these crazed killers.

We should leave them alone and keep them away from us.

Yep! Breakout the popcorn and watch them kill each other like they have since the time of the Big Mo.

Then if any come her or try to organize violence against us, kill them or pay the Russians to kill them.

They had no clue what oil was or how to get it. Without us, they would all still be living in tents and milking camels.

If we could cut off the oil money, they would eventually go back to that.

Josh Earnest: “The president doesn’t watch TV, but if he is watching TV and sees this, I’m sure he will have his close personal friend the House Oversight committee issue a strongly worded statement. And with important words underlined and italicized. What do you people want from me?”

Many years ago I spent a few wonderful days in Aleppo. The city was also shelled by Assad (the elder) I think a number of years ago. What it was, what it could have been, what it has become!

Depravity.

There might be moderate muslims; there is no moderate islam.

Well said. Until Western society will acknowledge that Islam is nothing but syncretist cult designed by its crazy founder as a way of consolidating the victories of his tribe of caravan raiders over much more advanced societies, and has never been anything but an arm of battle, we're never going to be able to defeat it or even prepare for the attacks. Something for which there is abundant evidence...

How has something this huge not been talked about yet?

Because both the Obama Regime and the GOP Establishment are in on it.

A resignation from Obama would be great. An idiot like Biden would not do as bad as this ass, Obama!

even more reason to expose the evil of the GOP-e/RINOs along with the liberals. Still I say, where is FOX News in trying to explore this? Not even one mention.

Isn't that totally senseless if we allow planeloads of them, constantly, into our country as "students" and "disappearing tourists?"

I also would deport all muslims with "permanent status" who seem to have no visible means of support, and whose primary occupation is muslim "community organizers and advocates..." the sooner the better.

We can do both.

Stand back and let them kill each other, and maybe Russia killing the Isis Serial killers. Do not waste another drop of American Blood in the Middle East.

Then, we need send all of them back to their beloved land of serial killers.

Great news.

Let them continue to kill each other at a faster and broader rate. Then let the Russia send thousands of them in Iraq to Allah.
