Islamist militants ‘executed 700 tribe members’ in Syria

Militants from the Islamic State Organisation have in the past two weeks executed 700 members of a tribe in eastern Syria, the majority of them civilians, a human rights monitoring group said on Saturday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has tracked violence on all sides of the three-year-old conflict, said that reliable sources reported beheadings were used to execute many of the al-Sheitaat tribe, which is from Deir al-Zor province.

The conflict between the group of fighters calling itself Islamic State (formerly known as Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria, or ISIS) and the al-Sheitaat tribe, who number about 70,000, flared after the Islamist group took over two oil fields in July.

“Those who were executed are all al-Sheitaat,” Observatory director Rami Abdelrahman said by telephone from Britain. “Some were arrested, judged and killed.”

All ISIS members are regressive Homo sapiens... More like our violent chimpanzee cousins, and sexual perverts who like sadism.

Ban Ki Moon (UN): ISRAEL may have committed War Crimes in Gaza.

Press: Mr. Chairman, what about the total slaughter in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya and in the Ukraine? What about the Syrian civil war? What about Boko Harem in Africa slaughtering people and stealing the women?

Ban Ki Moon: As I said, Israel must stop the “Genocide” of innocent Paleostinians in Gaza.

Press: Mr. Chairman, what about the Ebola virus? The Malay Airline downing by Russia, the flagrant violation of Ukrainian territorial integrity?

Ban Ki Moon: I cannot emphasize enough that the Israelis must stop trying to defend their citizens.

Press: What about the HAMAS hiding rockets in your UNWRA schools and using GAzans as human shields?

Ban Ki Moon: I call upon the Israelis to cease and disist all defensive operations.

Press: What about the corruption and waste at the UN?

Ban Ki Moon: I have asked PM Netanyahu to use “proportional force only and if at all...

From another article:
Tribal sources say the conflict between Islamic State and the al-Sheitaat tribe, who number about 70,000, flared after Islamic State took over of two oil fields in July.

One of those, al-Omar, is the biggest oil and gas field in Deir al-Zor and has been a lucrative source of funds for rebel groups.

[snip]

The group has levied a tax on non-Muslims, and settled foreign fighters in confiscated homes, said the resident, who asked for anonymity due to security concerns.

But despite that, as in Deir al-Zor, it has won a degree of respect among locals by curbing crime using their version law of and order. For youths without work, salaries offered by Islamic State are one of the few sources of income.

“Militants from the Islamic State Organisation have in the past two weeks executed 700 members of a tribe in eastern Syria...”

Upon receiving this verbal update from a trusted aide, Barry says “hand me a 9-iron”

Meanwhile, at Martha's Vineyard, when told of the atrocities and wondering what the correct response would be, Hussein excused himself from the briefing, went into another room, started fist pumping and whispering, “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Between these murders, Ebola, thugs being shot by cops, and my crisis at the border, these dumb hayseeds will forget all about the VA letting brave men die, Benghazi, where me an Hillary let brave men die, and the IRS, where the 1st amendment is routinely crapped on.” Tailor made mayhem for someone undeniably incompetent.
