The ISIS ouster from Jurf al-Sakhar, just south of Baghdad, was much less of the “liberation” that officials presented it as and rather another sectarian conquest, with the Shi’ite militias pushing into the overwhelmingly Sunni town.
We’ve heard that story a few times already, and what came next should surprise nobody, as militias captured putative ISIS members and carried out summary executions in broad daylight.
“These dogs are Chechens. They don’t deserve to stay alive,” noted one of the militia leaders. “We took confessions from them and we don’t need them anymore.”
The sectarian underpinnings of the ISIS war have loomed large over the battles for many towns, with Sunni locals not necessarily “pro-ISIS,” but seeing remaining under their rule as far safer than being returned to the Iraqi fold, and rule by militia.
Animals without a human conscience, barbarians worse then cannibals, is it any wonder that the Islamic state is forced to do what it must do?
Why in the world would the USG want to get involved in this religious war? Let them figure it out without our interference and then we can discuss affairs after they stop killing each other. It's none of our business.
if they were active isis members on principle it was the right thing to do . isis is a genocidal organization that revels in carnage and chaos they have nothing to do with islam but an anti islamic organizationas as seen by the formation of their military council which is manned by former bathists. islam truly is a religion of peace and what isis does is the polar opposite of what islam represents. but on the ground militiamen fueled by secterian hatred and their vision blurred by the fog of war cannot be the ones making the decision. quick trials followed by a bullet in the head and buried at an unmarked grave is the way to go
