This is a photo that has appeared on internet uploaded from an alleged supporter of ISIS in Spain. In fact, 3 more photos were uploaded from different regions, including Catalonia, Zaragoza, San Sebastian. It is apparently part of a campaign to show support to ISIS, now known as Islamic State.
Another aspect of this campaign, according to La vanguardia newspaper has been photographs of passports from different nationalities beside pro ISIS texts, in order to show the international support of this group. The Twitter account in the photo has been closed.

Is this silly season journailsm?

Its more about ISIS being shrewd imo. This stuff has the potential to amplify their voice throughout the world, at no cost to them. They seem pretty media savvy. There was also a supporter holding his phone up in front of the White House, and ISIS supporters were leafleting on Oxford Street today. Probably the usual suspects.

I agree this stuff is pretty small fry, but I also hope the Left doesn't go quiet on these cunts. As we've seen before that leaves a dangerous vacuum, although I suspect it will be filled this time (by any of a long list of enemies, including Kurds). But either way, they're engaged in attempted genocide. They're crucifying their way across the Middle East and would murder every local political comrade any of us would have over there. They have controlled Raqqa (population 220,000) for over a year, Fallujah for six months, Mosul for two, and are said to have funds of 2 billion dollars.

The media aren't being hysterical about ISIS - they were just silent on it for too long.

I thought Isis was married to Osiris and was the mother of Horus :confused:

Edit to add: I only know that because around 1976 my brother was singing the Bob Dylan song Isis and I had to correct him.

He was singing, "how many ices on the 5th day of May" and the lyric was "I married Isis on the fifth day of May". Kid brothers :rolleyes:

Pro-Isis leaflets distributed in London’s Oxford Street
By Sam Jones, Defence and Security Editor

Isis leaflets were distributed in London’s Oxford Street on Tuesday, urging Muslims to pledge allegiance to the jihadi group and travel to Syria and Iraq.

Images of a group of individuals distributing the crudely printed leaflets in the busiest shopping area in Europe and its surrounding streets were posted by users of Twitter, including many by British Muslims angry at the extremist claims made on the leaflets.

I think everyone gets that, the paradox is start running hysterical non stories about ISIS non flags etc and you then simply give it the oxygen of publicity as VP said.

It can be a shit cruel world out there.

The lesson that often gets lost is that sometimes you must do nothing, Iraq is testimony to that. Saddam Hussein was a cruel evil tyrant, the evil that has come since is worse, the same in Libya, which now spills into Syria... all similar situations of despots controlling emotional tribal parts of the world. If ever the phrase better the devil you know applies it is now.

About time al-Andalus was returned to its rightful owners. What's Arabic for "Reconquista"? :D
 
Quick! Let's all go and take photos of us with anarchist flags (or some flags that loon a bit anarchist) in a bunch of places! ...and then we'll put 'em on Instagram.

That'll show 'em!

Utter fecking drivel.

Can't we just concentrate on concrete social forces and what's driving them please rather than lazily frothing about superficial (and inaccurate) spectacles?
 
Everyone appears to agree that the flag raising was superficial and blown put of all proportion.

This thread could still be a useful place for reporting and monitoring IS supporters' domestic activities though.
 
Saddam was a monster probably given the chance to rearm would have caused more mayhem should have finished him off in 1991 probably ended with the same bloodbath but would have saveda few sq kms of shia the odd sq km of kurds :( and everyone who died because of the sanctions.:(

More to the point, alarmist exaggerations and complete fictions designed to promote security and divisive agendas in the UK. Which is not a change of topic at all.

And possibly elsewhere: has there been any equivalent elsewhere? In the US?

Context... I don't subscribe to the it's all the fault of the imperialists mode that over occupies some posters train of thought. Because....

It's the bad people on the other side of the hill that are evil....

I use that as a euphemism, I don't know if you or others here saw the series 'Tribe' where the white British presenter went and lived with ancient tribes in the Amazon, Africa etc in order to show how they lived .

He would try and get an intimate perspective by peeling people away and talking to them and asking questions.( He would also attempt to invert his Dick with a giant leaf but that's a whole other thing!)

On one such occasion in Africa he was having his cozy chat with one of the tribesman and he asked him 'if life was good', the tribesman replied 'yes everything is good except for the evil', the presenter asked what the evil was?'
The tribesman replied 'the bad people on the other side of the hill'

It explains everything to me.

Er...right. So the UK is not emotional or tribal right? Or are you one of the tribesmen and you think other people are evil?

...and, crucially, there's a big difference between "commenting on" and "participating in" these.

From Parry's twitter account, sounds like he is no rich kid.

The fact that he's now on some Shayler like tribal quest and is very publicly downsizing doesn't a) wipe out the formative stuff that shaped his world view or b) that he isn't/wasn't rich - you don't know anything about his house and its worth, you know nothing about the size of his debts (if they exist) or how he acquired them (buy to let empire collapse, dodgy share deal gone wrong).

Anyway, as chilango says, the point was about the sort of pro-empire attitude that was consciously constructed along the lines of the rational british and the emotional tribal peoples who need the former's steadying hand or they'll be chopping heads off and cooking each other in big pots was produced and transmitted by exactly those institutions and background that parry shares.
