DEIR AL-ZOR PROVINCE, Syria (Reuters) - Having joined Islamic State in Syria four years ago, the Algerian woman only abandoned the jihadists’ last scrap of besieged territory when her daughter was shot in the leg... (snip)

Adnan Afrin, an SDF official, said the civilian convoys from Baghouz have included a growing number of surrendering militants. They are searched for bombs and mines before being allowed to go any further, he said.

The SDF estimates about 30,000 people have left Baghouz. It aims to eliminate or force the surrender of remaining fighters, who, according to the SDF, have dug defensive tunnels. Many fighters remain, according to Afrin. “We know from the civilians who came out that there are a big number, mostly European and Asian jihadists.”

The SDF wants foreign governments to help repatriate Islamic State activists, saying the burden and risk of holding them is growing

Medieval problems call for medieval answers.

It won’t ever be over until every last Koran has been burned and no one else ever follows Mad Mo’s example.

In an inadvertent way Obama got this correct when he said .' The future must not belong to those who insult the prophet of Islam'. Indeed, it must belong to those who say 'who was this Mad Moe dude and why should we care about him?' In other words wiped out of history like a bad stain.

Exactly correct.

Don’t “hold” them. Once a radical moslem, always a radical moslem. Even if they convert they cannot be trusted as islam COMMANDS its followers to lie.

Bullets are cheap. We need to use more of them.
