The Islamic state

I don't give a fuck what he said . It's why he's on ignore . I noticed last week when I hadn't logged in he also repeatedly claimed the FSA weren't Islamists . Neither his claims or his figures are worth engaging with . Much less his routine retreat into cryptocism in order to " win " on the internet. Which he also routinely attempts to police .

Aye to that.

I used to have a lot of time for the Apron. But a year or two ago he just went weird on us. Seems unable to countenance any disagreement, can't interact with anyone but his minions, often appears intoxicated. I put it down to intellectual insecurity--obviously unnecessary in his case, but that's probably the worst kind. I haven't got him on ignore, for the reasons Humberto mentions, but I can't respect him as I once did. Pity.

If that's not IS on a tram in the middle of the Turkish capital then it's one he'll of an ironic fashion statement by some Turkish hipsters .

YouTube's censored where I am, so I can't see it. But if anyone wore ISIS regalia in downtown Istanbul, they'd get their heads kicked in.
 
Erdogan may see a chance of using them as surrogates to smash the Kurdish terrorists, but he's keeping it damn quiet if so. He'd have to, because Turkish public opinion has no time for ISIS at all. Even religious Turks perceive them as a bunch of crazy Arabs.

There's another issue that came to light in the Saudi wiki cables release ....that current news story the media won't go near . The middle eastern states which tried to oust Assad from the beginning are literally crapping themselves at their failure to do so . They've totally committed their hand and there's no way back for them . No rapprochement .They're genuinely afraid of revenge .
In my view they'll use all and every means . For one reason or another those 49 Turkish captives were released unscathed by IS . And that can only be due to a relationship of sorts , an understanding of sorts . They fell into daeshes lap when they captured territory . But we're speedily let go .
 
I can't believe it's news to anyone. There was an interview with one of the RN pilots in AFM last year..

remarkable is isn't it - the placements have been in the UK mainstream media, they've been a continual subject on all the defence focused print and online media, the MOD have had numerous articles of the postings on their website, and the commons have even dabated them.

i realise MP's aren't exactly the first XI, but you really have to wonder how thick or unobservant they really are...

i'd bet good money that they've not the hump because of what been happening - in the full glare of publicity - but because they'be caught having no understanding, or interest, in some of the most important things a state does. nul points.

Mealy-mouthed patronising cuntery from fuck off dwyer, as per usual.

I think the only grey area is whether one would expect exchange officers to fly on ops. Some do, some don't. Plenty of Americans flew with SHFNI in Northern Ireland but they weren't allowed to go the Falklands. 1(F) legend has it that there was a USMC officer who was so desperate to come along on the South Atlantic jaunt that the squadron found him a barmaid in Duddington that he could marry in order to become a UK citizen. However it was all going to take too much time to be feasible.
 
very interesting interview here:

Der Spiegel investigative journalist Christoph Reuter is probably known to the English-speaking readership for his recent story on coming into possession of ISIS’s initial planning documents. However, this story is only part of his lengthy investigative work in Syria and Iraq, which has resulted in many reports and a new book, published in April this year.



Reuter has been reporting for decades on the Middle East region, and in addition to his award-winning reports, he had already written two books:My Life is a Weapon: A Modern History of Suicide Bombing (2002), andBaghdad Café (2004), together with Susanne Fischer, about daily life in Iraq.



His third and most recent book, The Black Power: The “Islamic State” and the Strategists of Terror, details the strategy of ISIS, or Daesh, as Reuter prefers to call the organization.



NOW Managing Editor Hanin Ghaddar recently sat down with Reuter to talk about his new book and the details of Daesh’s strategy.
 
ISIS has proved to be a great opportunity for Iran to extend its influence westwards. Iraq is practically a province of the Persian empire by now. It's all a long game being played out, and it's all sectarian bullshit between Muslims. If I were somebody in the Middle East who believed in democracy and secularism I would be trying to get the hell out. The political/idelogical juggernaut of Islam just crushes all opposition. The problem with Islam (in it's various sectarian forms) is that it's not a religion, as we would understand it. Worst thing about it is, if the founder Mohammed was alive today, he would join ISIS - based on his track record in Qaran and hadiths. Sad.

Hello
 
This gets even more ridiculous . According to reports Al Baghdadi has issued a decree banning IS from releasing any more execution videos . Says its upsetting for kids to have to see them . Given that they've started using kids as executioners in them I really don't know what to make of that .

Suspect there's a pr firm somewhere been given the contract to try and rebrand them as moderates at some point in the future . As they've pretty much managed that with the other Al Qaeda faction...and they bloody well have ....absolutely NOTHING would surprise me now .

Islam is a religion of 1.2 million people you dick, there are probably as many ways to practice it as there are muslims. Do you know who else thinks ISIS's version is 'the true' version:facepalm:
