Muslims dragged Ambassador Stevens’ body through the streets. I don’t recall them be called “backwards”.

have shocked many in Iraqi Kurdistan.

They carefully say "many in Iraqi Kurdistan", rather than "Kurds".

I suspect the "shocked" people are non-Kurd, Arab ISIS sympathizers in the Kurdish areas.

[Future Snake Eater]

Yep, “many.” That’s why they have a single quote from a Kurdish university egghead who claims to speak the thoughts of 80% of Kurds.

[MaxMax]

When they're all Sunni and expecting peace, war will break out between the East Sunni,
West Sunni, South Sunni, and North Sunni. And when they get sorted out War will break
out between Sunni Muslims who live on different streets. And after that, War will
break out between those who have different Muslim first names. Then after that, War
will break out between those who were born on different days of the week Sunni Muslims.

ISIS getting a taste of its own toxic medicine administered by Kurds. No tears from me.

[JennysCool]

“Many” is “Some’s” older brother.

[GOYAKLA]

Just a bunch of Sand Rednecks (Kurds are backward people?) holding on to their guns.

“And it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,” Obama said.

I think he said in “human history”.

A complete and utter moron.

I thought the Kurds were primarily Christian. There is no excuse for this sort of barbarism...none!

Not fair.. they were really, really upset with a youtube video. Apples and oranges./s

[Teacher317]

It’s all Muslims understand. The Kurds are doing more to deter future attacks than all of the West combined. I’m behind them 100 percent. They should do more.

The Kurds are mostly Sunni Muslims but they are a fairly tolerant society: there have long been Christian and Jewish Kurds. I rather consider what happened as "unprofessional" than barbaric, sort of like being at a Board of Directors meeting and farting loudly at the table. Barbaric is burning someone alive.

So would be better to drag living ISIS goat humpers through downtown Kirkuk?

[Pearls Before Swine]

I thought the Kurds were primarily Christian.

Not my understanding. They're a milder branch of Sunni, as I recall. Saladin was a Kurd.

I don't think you understand. War is not nice. It has one goal; winning. That goal is accomplished by killing people and destroying their stuff. Particularly among ISIS, there are no "honorable dead enemies," there are only "dead enemies." You want to survive against animals like that, you kill them and drag their bodies through the streets.

It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it. -Robert E. Lee

No.

Are you serious? You truly don't have any idea of the evil that is ISIS.

I seriously suggest you talk with people who have been in the Hell of War.

I applaud the Kurds.

[HomerBohn]

They should be summarily shot.

[Crim]

“as the group also has many of Saddam’s former officials and fighters in its ranks.”

Wait whut?

Do they mean Saddam’s “secular” military??

Hrmmmmm.....

[Defiant]

It seems to bother them a lot that atrocities are visited on Muslims. They have no such concerns about worse actions towards Christians. However, according to Qerry and Barry, these ISIS guys aren't Muslim. So why the concern?

Moreover, the Kurds are Muslim, not Christian, so they have no obligation to treat enemies with respect and dignity, to be civilized.
