Islamic State trades paradise for mass graves

Yes, they had dreams and hopes and plans for the future--a heaven on earth, so to speak.

They wanted a place where they could go and pray five times a day. They wanted a place free from the filth of infidels, dogs and bacon products. They wanted an Islamic paradise where they could put their foreheads to the ground and their butts to the sky, develop a healthy zebibah (prayer mark) to show off to their four wives. 

To put it simply: all they wanted was a caliphate to call home and all the world's infidels to die in a horrific way.

Was that too much?

But all the jihadists got was mass graves or their bodies lying out in the open for the wild, hungry dogs to munch on as flies buzz around their remains in the quiet little Iraqi town of Dhuluiyah, about 55 miles north of Baghdad.

Dozens of dead terrorist dudes killed in 2015 lie in a hastily built pit.

"They should have ended up in the stomachs of stray dogs," local police officer, some guy named, you guessed it, Mohammed, told the AFP.

"We buried them here not out of love, but because we wanted to avoid diseases," Mo said.

Since the start of the 2014 air strikes in Iraq and the lovely land of Syria, about 80,000 scum crumpets have been killed by U.S.-led coalition forces. But that doesn't account for those killed by Russian and Syrian strikes.

Dhuluiyah is on the banks of the Tigris river. It's an agricultural community so when residents had to figure out what to do with the trash, (i.e. dead jihadis) they came up with the idea of using a bulldozer.

"We could have thrown them into the water, but we love the river too much to pollute it," said a local policeman, possibly also named Mohammed. "The people here as well as their animals drink from the Tigris."

So they dug a hole and threw them in, refusing to give them a proper Islamic burial.

"We buried them with bulldozers. Even in the ground they are still mired in their own filth," said farmer Shalan al-Juburi. "They said that they would got to paradise to enjoy the gardens of delights [like getting laid by 72 virgins and drink from rivers of wine], but this is how they ended up."

I guess bulldozers are haram, the opposite of halal.

Nearby a beautiful graveyard filled with happy-go-lucky martyrs of the town, stands in sharp contrast to the hole the dead jihadis lie in.

As Iraqi forces in Anbar province look to oust the ISIS crap weasels from their final footholds, operation commander Mahmoud [a derivative of Mohammed] al-Fellahi insisted that any Islamic State jihadis killed will end up in mass graves.

A senior Iraqi commander told the AFP that earthmoving equipment was used "to bury the jihadists after we collected information on their identities and nationalities.

In Syria, where the U.S. and Russia are having a pissing contest over who can kill the most scumquats, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimates only 50,000 have been killed, but both countries have assured the Observatory that they're still working on it.

One Syrian commander told the media that what happens to dead jihadis is not a priority. "At the moment, we are more interested in what happens above ground than under it."

Another military source said, "The terrorists try to collect the dead. If we find them, we try to identify the foreigners for a possible information swap with their home countries."Was that too much?

Rest in pieces, dog chum.

Al-Baghdadi playing 'Hide-and-Seek" in Mosul

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State (aka "The Fightin' Scumcrumpets") is likely holed up in Mosul, the hub of the Islamic extremist movement. Iraqi and U.S. forces are closing in on him and his ilk and there's going to be a fight.

Hoshiyar Zebari a senior Kurdish official said he has "solid" intel that al-Baghdadi was somewhere in the city of over a million civilians and about 6,000 jihadists, and it is believed that he is hanging out with Fawzi Ali Nouimeh, the group's bomb maker.

Mosul fell to ISIS back in the summer of 2014 and a few weeks later, al-Baghdadi declared from the pulpit of a mosque, that the city is a caliphate. 

According to Zebari, ISIS was "disoriented" and don't know where to expect the attacks to come from. If Mosul can be liberated, that would be a huge loss for the religious group that now controls less than half the territory it once held.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi pledged that the battle for Mosul will lead to the liberation of all Iraqi territory from ISIS if the Iraqi forces don't run off and leave their weapons behind.

Iraqi Lt. Gen. Talib Shaghati (aka "Shag") called on Iraqis fighting for ISIS in Mosul to give it up. 

The fight is now into its third day.

The Fightin' Scumcrumpets have been putting up fierce resistance, knowing that if they punk out, al-Baghdadi will have them burned alive. The jihadists loaded trucks with explosives careening them to the front lines and firing mortars to slow the Iraqi advance.

One Iraqi officer told the AP that his men were only about a mile away from Hamdaniyah, a historically Christian town (aka Bakhdida) to the east of Mosul. 

Thus far, ISIS sent 12 car bombs that never reached their targets--they were blown up--but Iraqi troops have suffered a few casualties from mortar rounds. 

The Mosul operation is the largest launched by the Iraqi army since 2003 U.S.-led invasion. There are about 25,000 troops which include Sunni tribal fighters, Kurdish forces known as peshmerga, and state-sanctioned Shi'ite militias known as the Popular Mobilization Units, and they are all approaching Mosul from different directions.

One of the fears of rights groups is that the Shi'ite militias could increase sectarian tensions as there have been past abuses. To assuage these fears, Shi'ite militia leaders announced that they will only focus on capturing the majority Shi'ite town of Tal Afar, not far from Mosul. 

The Shi'ites will not enter the city itself because the Shi'ite Muslims don't get along with Sunni Muslims and neither the Sunni nor the Shi'ites get along with other types of Muslims such as: Sufis, Baha'is, Ahmadiyyas. As far as how they get along with Jews, Christians, Kurds, Hindus, atheists and gays, don't even ask. 

"The only troops who will enter Mosul are the army and police, not the Popular Mobilization Units or the peshmerga," said Hadi al-Amiri, the head of the Badr Brigade, one of the largest Shi'ite militias, and whose slogan is: "We're Badr than you."

"This has been agreed upon," al-Amiri said at a press conference in the Shi'ite holy city (aka "Holy Shi'ite).

Amnesty International reported on Tuesday that Iraqi government and paramilitary forces detained, tortured or killed hundreds of Sunni Arab civilians trying to flee ISIS-held areas during the retake of Fallujah, earlier this year.

Of course, the Iraqi government denied these violations and claimed that those few individuals who may have committed abuse have been held accountable.

Anyway, if al-Baghdadi can be captured or killed, this will be a great defeat for ISIS and a great victory for us.

Obama views Islamic State as apostates

Former Indonesian madrassa student and son to a Muslim father and step-father, President Barack Hussein Obama continues to denounce the Islamic State as "not [being] Islamic and not a state."

The denouncement was triggered by an incident in Baghdad where an explosive-laden car detonated killing at least 18 real Muslims (who happened to be Shi'ite) during their pilgrimage to commemorate the death of a real and reverend Imam.

Soon after the explosion, the Islamic State, composed of  "fake" Sunni Muslims, claimed responsibility.

Sunnis, whether real or fake ISIS dudes, see Shi'ite Muslims as apostates and thus ripe for the slaughter. They also see everyone who isn't an ISIS Muslim as ripe for the slaughter, but it's a long story.

The Islamic State claimed online that the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber, but Iraqi officials denied that because they didn't want to make folks think it had anything to do with religion. You see, most people would never think of blowing themselves up unless they thought it would get them into heaven.

ISIS (called "ISIL" by Mr. Obama, because he is anti-Israel and it's a slap in the face to Israel to include the Levant in the title of the terrorist group) frequently goes after Shi'ite towns and neighborhoods, targeting public spaces where they can kill the greatest number of apostates. It's how they roll. 

Iraqi police say the car was parked in Saydiyah, a southwestern neighborhood and detonated shortly after the noon hour, killing at least 18 and wounding 45 people who practice their religion differently than Sunnis.

A load of Shi'ites have made the trek to Kadhimaiyah, in Baghdad, where the 8th Century Imam Moussa al-Kadhim is buried but not forgotten. Due to the incessant Islamic violence that is sparked by practically anything at all, security forces have blocked major roads in the capital city in anticipation of attacks against Shi'ites who generally make the journey by foot.

Another interesting Islamic holiday is the Day of Ashura, or Day of Remembrance. It is on the tenth day of Muharram on the Islamic calendar when many Shi'ite Muslims beat the Shi'ite out of themselves. They literally self-flagellate (which has nothing to do with bodily emissions) often to the point of causing serious bleeding. 

Pretty sick stuff.

Monday's attack came after two car bombs exploded in Samawah, a southern Iraqi city, where 31 people were killed and 52 were wounded. ISIS claimed responsibility for that one too.

In spite of the defeats ISIS suffered over the last year, they still control a lot of territory in Iraq's north and west. The U.S.-led coalition has destroyed some of the financial stores they kept, but it's hard to keep a terrorist from killing in the name of Allah.

The UN reports that at least 741 Iraqis were killed in April due to the violence, and that's a big decline from the previous month. In March, 1,119 were killed and 1,561 were wounded.

Obama has, in effect, given a limp wrist response to ISIS by sending in only 250 troops as trainers. The only way to defeat such an enemy is to destroy them while destroying their infrastructure.
