The ISIS Megathread

Islamic extremists in northeast Nigeria are turning their guns on elderly people, killing more than 50 this week in a new tactic that has instilled more fear in areas the militants call an Islamic caliphate.



Residents from five villages say people too elderly to flee Gwoza local government area are being rounded up and taken to two schools where the militants open fire on them. The villages are about 130 kilometers (80 miles) southeast of Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.
"What they are doing now is to assemble the aged people — both men and women ... and then they just open fire on some of them," said Muhammed Gava, a spokesman for civil defense groups in the area. More than 50 people had been killed at Government Day Secondary School in Gwoza, he said.
A villager who had fled said more elderly people are being gathered and shot at Uvaghe Central Primary School. The villager spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of endangering his trapped parents.
Government officials did not immediately comment on the reports.
Nigeria's military said soldiers are patrolling "in search of terrorists" and "to verify abductions" Friday around the village of Gumburi, where witnesses say extremists kidnapped at least 185 people a week ago.
Nigeria's military and government have been criticized for their failure to rescue 219 schoolgirls kidnapped from a town near Gumburi in April.
In separate attacks Friday, witnesses said Boko Haram struck at Damagum and Mamudo towns in Yobe state, bombing government buildings, the police station and military barracks.
The extremists suffered a setback when they attacked soldiers guarding a power station in Borno state, according to an engineer who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. He said soldiers were warned in advance that the extremists were advancing and engaged the militants in fierce fighting that killed at least 70.
Extremists have killed thousands of people in a 5-year uprising that has driven some 1.6 million from their homes.

Kurdish fighters move on ISIL's Mosul hub

Okay something actually on topic about the thread here

Kurdish forces in Iraq have taken more ground from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group and are moving closer to the northern city of Mosul.

The Peshmerga, a term used by Kurds to refer to Kurdish fighters, delivered aid to Yazidi refugees on Mount Sinjar on Saturday and expanded a major offensive against ISIL in northwestern Iraq after breaking a months-old siege.

The Peshmerga closed in on Sinjar town south of the mountain and Tal Afar to its east, AFP news agency reported on Sunday.

If successful, the move would significantly alter the map of ISIL's self-declared cross-border "caliphate" and isolate its Mosul hub.

It comes as ISIL reportedly regained control of Beiji city, north of Baghdad. The battle for Beiji and its oil refinery has been running back and forth for months, with each side making gains and losses in the fighting.

So it seems like the Peshmerga and the YPG are going to be fighting this one together. Given the fact that the YPG have been the most successful group against ISIS this gives me more hope that they can push ISIS out of that part of Iraq altogether.
 
Yes, it's very clear that Australia, USA, and European countries didn't send citizens over to join ISIS. They came to those countries under the guise of being refugees and fleeing extemism but first chance they get they go over to propagate the same terror they claim to be fleeing.

where's your evidence those going over there to fight had arrived as immigrants?

show us your source

This is hard to believe. Are you daft?

The terrorist in the cafe in Australia was a immigrant.
The Boston bomber was a immigrant.

You find it hard to believe immigrants to EU countries, America, and Australia haven't gone overseas to fight for ISIS?

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/denmark-isis-fighters-warmly-welcome-home-by-psychiatrists-1470546

The media in these cases refers to the people as "Americans" or "Danes" or "Australians" only by virtue of citizenship. The liberal media neglects to mention their country of origin in most cases.

speaking of daft, neither of those cases are of immigrants going to fight with IS. answer the question for once in your life, if you can.

as for Man Haron Monis, he came to australia in 1996. he's hardly a good example of your prejudiced fear campaign.
 
Not going to waste my time, if you think there's not one immigrant from USA, EU, or Australia that's joined IS you're truly deluded.

The liberal media refers to them as "Americans" or "Europeans" or "Australians" and neglects showing their country of origin for fear of appearing xenophobic. If we have first-generation children of immigrants going to fight doesn't that show an utter failure to integrate into our society?

Two girls, daughters of Bosnian immigrant joining ISIS: http://rt.com/news/195100-syria-isis-austria-teenagers/

Use your brain, there's little in way of stastics on this because they don't want their citizenships revoked. Jihadists don't call a hotline to say I'm going to join ISIS for a bit, they travel over to the MiddleEast under false pretenses, wage war, and if they survive they come back to nice Western country where they are taken care of (see the IBtimes article). You'd be deluded to think every single Dane, Belgian, UK resident in the IBtimes article is a native born citizen, that's utter tripe.
 
haha, nice evidence there pal. "appeal to obviousness" can support any generalisation that you just make up in that hateful little mind of yours.

you'd make a swell lawyer with that chewbacca defense you got going on constantly.

again, show me examples of

you said:

you are NOT talking about children of immigrants. you made a bullshit claim about people claiming refugee status are returning as soon as they can to continue the terrorism they were fleeing in the first place.

you live in a racist fantasy.

you also pollute bluelight with fictional bullshit.

Well ignore ISIS for a minute there was the bloke in Australia that murdered those people in the cafe a couple days ago.

He got to Australia back in 1996, so somehow he's not an immigrant to you????

This has nothing to do with race, these are the "Austrian" teens who joined ISIS (really Bosnian):

They look pretty fucking white to me but they can fuck right off just the same. This has zero to do with RACE.

He's not a recent arrival. He didn't come here just to start shit, otherwise he would have done something years ago. 18 years here, he's essentially an australian after that long. something happened along the way to make him an outcast (from both australian and muslim communities).

and for the third time, he didn't recently arrive fleeing the persecution that he secretly support, as per your baseless claims.

here we go, the tired and ultraweak "it's about islam, and islam is not a race so it's not racism" response. this is supremely stupid, and doesn't actually respond to anything that it purports to respond to, which is an allegation of arbitrary prejudice and hate. race and religion are indeed two different things, that is if race is anything.

anyways, you're racist not because of your stance against islam, but because of your fear of black people coming in boats (as per many photos you've posted).

He had a sexual assault and was an accessory to murder of his wife I believe previous to this.

No matter how long he is in Australia for, Aussie isn't in his blood or his heart. He bows down to the direction of Mecca several times a day, I think we know where his allegiance is truly towards.

It doesn't have anything to do with them being Black. Just unannounced immigrants coming by the boatload all males around the age of 20-30 age (prime ages for children), I don't mind a Black man showing up on a plane in a business suit with a degree ready to work hard. But a load of uneducated people (regardless of their colour), showing up on a boat without a dollar to their name that can't speak the native tongue is hardly desirable.

Those allegiances are not mutually exclusive.

You might want to look up the case of Muhammad Ali saying he couldn't serve his country because he's a Muslim, many other's claimed this as well to avert military service.

what does military service have to do with it?

"muslim-australian" is not an oxymoron.

Well you should know that every American man over in a certain age bracket is eligible for the draft, he and many other Muslims invoked their religion as an excuse to not fight. By this metric, he's essentially saying he cannot fulfill his duty as an American because of his beliefs.

I'm not sure what else you classify a devotion to your country as, Cashing your benefits cheque on a consistent basis? Paying taxes from your kebab shop?
 
Those damn xenophobic Frenchmen:

(Reuters) - French police on Saturday shot dead a man shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is the greatest") who stabbed and wounded three officers in a police station, authorities said.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who rushed to the scene, said the man was killed after he attacked the policemen with a knife in a station in Joue-les-Tours, a suburb of the city of Tours in central France.
Cazeneuve confirmed the attacker had shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attack, which he said was "extremely violent".
The counter-terrorism section of the Public Prosecutor's office has opened a probe for "attempted murder and criminal conspiracy in connection with a terrorist organization", the Paris Prosecutor's office said.
"There are grounds to probe whether he acted alone, whether he followed orders, or whether it was a mindless action," Public Prosecutor Jean-Luc Beck told BFM-TV.
The man was known to police for common crimes but was not on any watch list of the French intelligence services, Cazeneuve said, adding: "The probe is only starting."
The three wounded officers were hospitalized but were out of danger, he added.

fify

of course you're not sure, as all the other aspects of being a citizen, all of which are fully compatable with relgious beliefs, are inconveniently in opposition to the picture you pathetically endeavour to paint.

modern aus/usa/europe is not like the ancient roman empire, a polytheist state which required devotion to their emporer dealing with a monotheist jews or christians who literally cannot provide that devotion. we are way more compatable with islam and yet for some reason way less tolerant.

Those damn xenophobic Frenchmen

your mastery of the strawman fallacy leads me to disbelief of your claimed academic achievements.
 

How is it fair that my forebears went to die for this country, coming back in body bags, coming back with limbs missing? They didn't sign up for the military just were called on to serve their country and knew it was their obligation as an American to go and fight. Christians and Muslims share the same benefits of this glorious country so shouldn't we share the burden of protecting the country? This policy is almost like a Muslim's life is more precious than other Americans.

It's not surprising you hear so much statistics of collateral damage from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I don't know where all these pacifists were when we bombed Dredsen, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, when we bomb Belgrade. Only once Muslims are dying the liberals come out in full force.

the gall on this guy to cite "fairness". ffs, if you want to talk about mandatory service, take it to another thread. military service is not a requirement of every citizen right now, so you can either love it or leave.

another faux news style broad and generalised declaration with no semblance of truth or knowledge of history. american ww2 crimes have been criticised and condemned from the start.

mate, just stop it. stop making shit up.
 
military service is not a requirement of every citizen right now, .

"Almost all male U.S. citizens, and male immigrants living in the U.S., who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service. It's important to know that even though he is registered, a man will not automatically be inducted into the military. In a crisis requiring a draft, men would be called in sequence determined by random lottery number and year of birth. Then, they would be examined for mental, physical and moral fitness by the military before being deferred or exempted from military service or inducted into the Armed Forces."

So much for gender equality either, only men having to register.
