A Christian father who watched his wife and daughter get brutally raped by members of the militant group, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) because he couldn’t pay them a poll tax in Mosul, Iraq, killed himself under the weight of the trauma this past weekend.

Most of the remaining Christians in Iraq are (or were) residing in the villages to the North-east of Mosul. They speak the Assyrian language, which is a very endangered tongue. The ISIL offensive will eradicate the last vestiges of the once mighty Assyrian culture.

A Christian father who watched his wife and daughter get brutally raped by members of the militant group, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) because he couldn’t pay them a poll tax in Mosul, Iraq, killed himself under the weight of the trauma this past weekend.

A report from the Assyrian International News Agency said ISIS began enforcing Islamic laws in the northern Iraq city which they overran on June 10.

Dr. Sallama Al-Khafaji of the Iraq High Commission for Human Rights said the incident happened on Saturday after ISIS began asking Christians in Mosul for a poll tax.

“In one instance, ISIS members entered the home of an Assyrian family in Mosul and demanded the poll tax (jizya). When the Assyrian family said they did not have the money, three ISIS members raped the mother and daughter in front of the husband and father. The husband and father was so traumatized that he committed suicide,” said the report.

“The Christians have told me that they cannot pay this tax,” Dr. Al-Khafaji told AINA, “and they say ‘what am I to do, shall I kill myself?’”

Four Christian women were also reportedly shot dead by ISIS members because they were not wearing veils.

Like democracy, social order cannot be imposed but must come the community itself. Anything else is just imposed until the occupier leaves...

Almost everybody knows that ISIS is funded by US. But that funds meant to fight Assad not to conquer Iraq. It could be US mistake or ISIS was instructed by Saudi Arabia to conquer Iraq first.

ISIS is being funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, two of the USA's most trusted allies. The direct US funding mostly went to the Free Syrian Army (FSA), which is a different organization. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are Sunni Arab-dominated monarchies, and they want to establish Sunni Arab governments in both Syria and Iraq.

How the fuck would you know where the support was supposed to go much less where it actually went? Heard it on TeeVee? Anyway neither Saudi Arabia nor Qatar would do a thing without at least asking for our permission, and probably mostly outsource all the strategic decisions to us anyway with unusual exceptions.

It is fairly clear that Mosul was abandoned and fell without a shot mainly because that's what we instructed. Only a true simpleton would believe that 30k well armed and Iraqi military ran in terror from 1k ISIS leaving a damp yellow streak (and all of those yummy Western supplied weapons.) I wonder if it might be a cover story for how it came to be that ISIS is driving around in U.S. made humvees.

WTF is going on there? The ISIS just captured 3 more cities today. ...

You clearly don't spend enough time in the U.S. Army war college studying Col. Ralph Peters. Nobody should be surprised by this, and everyone should consider Rand Paul's assertions that ISIS is armed by the U.S.

Those towns captured are predominantly Sunni areas. Which are ready to support Sunni militants. The Shiite militants are now ready take this terrorist. Let wait and see who will win.

Although the region is predominantly Sunni, there was a significant Shia minority until the ISIS captured it. Most of the Shias have now fled to the safer regions to the South. Partially agreed with what you said. The local Sunni support for the ISIS is very noticeable. The Iraqi army won't be able to do anything unless they find a way to prevent this from happening.

You Can Now Buy ISIS Branded Clothing Online…

ISIS—the Islamic militant group that’s on a scorched-earth march to overthrow the government of Iraq—is known for being as savvy on social media as it is deadly on the ground. The group’s online marketing had helped turn ISIS into a global brand, and now the terrorist network even boasts its own clothing line.

That’s right: Online retailers have begun selling ISIS-themed T-shirts and hoodies. If you’d like a unique cover-up for the beach this summer and don’t mind a lot of black, you can purchase a sweatshirt with the group’s full name—Islamic State of Iraq and Syria—written in bleak white lettering. Another design features the group’s acronym, ISIS, surrounded by automatic weapons and a map of the world, in an apparent reference to the group’s global ambition.

Zirah Moslem, a company that calls itself purveyors of “Islamic style,” offers merchandise promoting various terrorist causes, including ISIS. The company’s website, which has more than 9,000 likes on Facebook, says its T-shirts feature “a design that is…always up to date,” which apparently means having a group of kaffiyeh-wearing jihadis pose as if they’re promoting a Hollywood blockbuster.

ISIS Issues Mandate To Single Mosul Women: “Mujahideen Have Right To Rape You”

In the name of Allah the mercyful

Now that the liberation of the Nineveh province by the mujahideen is a fact, the mujahideen feel the warm welcoming by their brothers and sisters in the province of Nineveh. Following the defeat of the sectarian army, god willing, we vow that this province will remain safe and protected by the mujahideen.

Therefor, we ask all the people of this province to bring forward unmarried women so they fulfill their duty of pleasing their brothers, the mujahideen. Who ever fails to comply, shall face consequences imposed by the sharia law.

June 13th
Nineveh province

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would be nice if a bitcoiner could confirm or reject that translation as accurate. If it is for real hopefully all feminists will engage against those evil people...

Iraq militants 'turning back clock' in captured Mosul

In the two weeks since it was seized by Sunni militants, some residents of the northern Iraq city of Mosul feel the clock has been turned back hundreds of years.

The militants, led by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) jihadist group, have begun imposing an extreme interpretation of Islamic law in the days since they took the city, residents reached by telephone told AFP.

"These militants will return us and our country hundreds of years backwards, and their laws are the opposite of the laws of human rights and international laws," said Umm Mohammed, a 35-year-old teacher.

"We live in continuous fear of being subjected to new pressures," she said. "We are afraid of being prevented from working and contributing to building the community."

The city, known before 2003 for its historic sites and parks and in later years as a hub for deadly violence, fell on June 10 to the militants, who subsequently overran surrounding Nineveh province and swathes of other territory.

Security forces in Mosul, a city of some two million people before the offensive, wilted in the face of the onslaught, in some cases abandoning uniforms and even vehicles in their haste to flee.

AK-47 is a relatively good gun, but I don't think it can stop tanks or humvees Cheesy

. Then again, in a battle it is not always the one with the best weapons that "wins".

May be. But in a theoretical ISIS vs Peshmerga battle, the former enjoys the following advantages:

1. Familiarity with the terrain (fighting is taking place mostly in Sunni Arab populated areas).
2. Local support from natives.
3. Better tactics and weapons than the Kurds.
4. Support from all over the Sunni Arab world.
5. High morale.

Kurdish weaponry itself is medieval. They are armed with AK-47 and RPGs, while the ISIS is armed with captured Humvees, Artillery guns and tanks. Anyway it is not the job of the Kurdish Peshmerga. The cowards of the Iraqi Army should fight ISIS.

Outdated map.
Numbers are form 2011.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majnoon_oil_field

The contract with Shell and Petronas includes drilling over 40 production wells, construction of three gas separation stations and two crude oil processing refineries with overall capacity of 100,000 barrels per day (16,000 m3/d).[1][2] The official start date was March 1, 2010.[12] In the Phase I of the project, the consortium intends to increase the production from 45,000 to 175,000 barrels per day (27,800 m3/d) within two-year period.

Current production of oil 200,000 barrels per day

Also , kirkuk is a dying oil field:

Quote

Production at Kirkuk, discovered in 1927, has declined to 260,000 barrels a day from 900,000 barrels a day in the early 2000s, after years of injecting water and the dumping of unwanted crude and other oil products in the field.
