The granny who stood up to ISIS: Elderly woman filmed confronting militants

An incredible video has emerged showing the moment an elderly woman bravely confronted two Islamic State militants, telling them their terror group is cursed and that they are not back by God. The video, which is believed to have been shot in Syria, shows the woman walks up to the fighters' car, brand them both 'devils' and tell them: 'I swear nothing you have done was in the way of God'. Clearly shocked at being confronted, the men initially plead with the woman, telling her to explain what she means and asking if 'everything is good between us?'. The woman chooses to ignore the men's attempts to justify ISIS' brutality, however, and instead attacks their bloodthirsty savagery and accuses them of 'killing each other like donkeys'.

This woman bless her has more cajones than everyone in the White House or the brass at the Pentagon.

Everyone needs this information.

Amazing. And very true, old women do some amazing things. Bet those two guys have encountered hundreds of men who faded away. They had to be blown away at her standing up to them.

Is her head on a stick?

I don’t believe this image is correct. The Arabic definitely looks wrong to me. Can you please explain why you believe that this image is correct?

The Arabic is wrong. The Arabic corresponding to just the invocation transliterated as "Bismillah" and Englished as "In the Name of God" (or "In the Name of Allah" if one is accepting or pretending to accept the Mohammedan notion that the Arabic word for God is the proper name of the unique existing deity) is

بسم الله

(Mind, you that's not the whole phrase called "the Bismillah" which Englishes as "In the Name of God, the All-Gracious, the All-Merciful" but that is

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Again nothing at all like the ancient Greek numerals for the number of the Beast in the Apocalypse of St. John.

I corrected javie on this before but he or she ignored me and continues to post the graphic. Even the Greek is wrong: the ancient Greek numerals for 666 are indeed chi, xi, digamma, but there is no harpoon-like mark over the xi and no dot to the right of the digamma.

Quite frankly I think it reflects badly on us here at Free Republic to get things like this wrong. There is reason enough to consider Islam to be governed by a spirit of Antichrist without resorting to transparent falsehoods to supposedly support the point, and I wish javie would stop posting that graphic.

[dinodino]

I agree. It’s stupid, and I see it all over FR lately.

If you are absolutely certain that post is a lie, I think the Admins should be petitioned to delete all of them.

Thank you David. It is good to have someone familiar with biblical languages and Arabic! It makes you quite a resource!

If anyone wants to see for themselves what Revelation 13:15 says in Greek you can go to:

http://biblehub.com/text/revelation/13-18.htm

At the bottom of the link you even have your choice of versions. 666 is either spelled out as:

ἑξακόσια ἑξήκοντα ἕξ.

or as the letters representing the number 666:

χξς

We are all blessed by the work of the Indian mathematician who developed the concept of zero and the number system we used today! (And the Muslim Scholars who recognized its significance!)
