A Christian militia has reclaimed a village in northern Iraq from ISIS terrorists.
USA Today reported on the story of a group of Christian fighters driving ISIS insurgents from the town of Bakufa.
The inhabitants of the predominantly Christian Bakufa formed a village militia, after fighting side-by-side with Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters to push ISIS from their hamlet.
The freshly recruited militia might be short on combat experience, but that’s not worrying them. As one of their members says:
In my opinion, faith is greater than military experience. Where the black banner of ISIS once stood, the flag of the Iraqi Christian fighters now flies high over Bakufa.
No guns to "moderate" Islamics -- support the Kurds and the Christians
This must be galling to the Sultan in Washington.
C.S. Lewis stared down and won the “no violence” nonsense in many of his works (I think it was best addressed in”Screwtape Letters”).
Good is not Meek. It was severe violence that met and defeated the Nazis.
God does not support wussies. He does not condone violence for no good reason but He demands support for freedom, even if it costs one’s lives.
The dead over so many wars bear witness that God insists on freedom.
God Bless this militia — I will be looking to see how I can support them monetarily!
“This must be galling to the Sultan in Washington.”

Indeed, all the Muslim Brotherhood associates in Obama’s White House and sprinkled through the Executive Branch must be besides themselves.
And it is about time the Christians in Iraq and Syria armed themselves and fought back.

The Kurds have definitely proven that they should have their own independent country of Kurdistan. For that matter, we should give them Iraq.
Beautiful picture, where is it from?
Bingo!!
If I were young enough I would join them!
They need to declare their own state. It has become clear that if Christians in the ME are to survive, they must band together and declare an independent Christian nation, like Armenia
frustrating ain’t it!
Onward Christian soldiers!

God gave us life. HE also gave the moral obligation to defend it.
Christus vincit! Ping!
As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them.” Leviticus 26:36
A military fact of life is fatigue. Even in western armies, fatigue brutally degrades combat effectiveness, which is why they go to extraordinary lengths to mitigate it.
With a slap-dash organization like ISIS, “the clock is running” on how long they will be able to offensively and defensively fight, before they burn out.
PTSD is not unique to Americans. Undisciplined, irregular forces get it far worse than trained and disciplined soldiers as well.
Thank you.
