Five Minnesota men currently facing charges of criminal conspiracy after being caught preparing to go to Syria to fight for the Islamic State are demanding that charges be dismissed.
Moosli Krahp, attorney for the five, stipulated that "the Islamic State has engaged in acts the rest of the world holds to be atrocious. However, these terror tactics are forced upon them by the superior firepower of their enemies. The West and its puppet allies can strike from the air. Civilians may be killed, but are quickly labeled 'collateral damage.' Well, the beheadings, torture, and similar actions carried out by the Islamic State are a necessary part asymmetric warfare. They are sanctioned by the government of the Islamic State and the soldiers who carry them out are not criminals. They are lawful combatants under the Geneva Conventions."
"If the actual troops of the Islamic State are lawful combatants, then these five men, none of whom has yet to engage in combat, are merely future combatants, at best," Krahp said. "Their apprehension inside the United States before they have had the opportunity to participate in the alleged atrocities is premature."
Minnesota prosecutor Lars Hammarskjold rejected Krahp's arguments, but added "even if we were to entertain the notion that these men are bonafide Islamic State combatants, they were caught outside of enemy lines and out of uniform. Under the Geneva Conventions that would make them spies subject to summary execution."
In related news, legislation that would bar terrorists from receiving food stamps was introduced by Rep. Bruce Poliquin (R-Maine). Poliquin's bill isn't expected to succeed in becoming law. President Obama has already promised to veto it if it reaches his desk. "The type of discrimination this legislation would institutionalize is an insult to our obligation to ensure the blessings of liberty are secured for all of our people," the President declared.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
OK we are at war. This is treason so stand in front of a firing squad.
“the beheadings, torture, and similar actions carried out by the Islamic State are a necessary part asymmetric warfare. They are sanctioned by the government of the Islamic State and the soldiers who carry them out are not criminals. They are lawful combatants under the Geneva Conventions.”
The Islamic State is as illegitimate a state as it can be. Why the rush to legitimize them, Mr. “Crap”?
Obama wants to secure the blessings of liberty for all our people,so maybe he’d better first define who these people are. Foreign invaders are not “our people” in any context I can see or understand.
There’s nothing funny about this.
These 5 could be part of the group who were involved in all the deaths around the Great Lakes in the fall of 2014. All the victims were young men (early 20’s), all were attending a holiday function, all left the event alone, all went missing, all were found in a body of water.
NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN ARRESTED FOR ALL THESE DEATHS. Then, we have one death out in CA - Palm Desert. Guess what, the stats were all the same except for the guy’s age (37).
Still no investigation, no arrests, no nothing. And, now that these people in MN are planning to join ISIS, my suspicions just might have been correct .. that the deaths were possibly some sort of ritual performed as entrance into the group who would be selected to join ISIS.
After all, just like the gangs .. these people KILLED others in order to join a group that KILLS.
ARE YOU STILL LAUGHING ..??????
