The Islamic State terror group cancelled Friday prayers in the Syrian city of Raqqa and emptied mosques there out of fear of further Russian airstrikes, according to activists and city residents.

According to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 12 Islamic State militants were killed Thursday in Russia’s first airstrikes carried out in the group's de facto capital in Syria.

"Last night, Russian strikes on the western edges of Raqqa city, and near the Tabqa military airport, killed 12 IS jihadists," Abdel Rahman, head of the observatory, told AFP.

As someone recently said: we need to stop using Mr. Rogers’ rules of engagement.

Hey ISIS: Putin farts in the general direction of your Mosques.

Three days, and they are crapping in their robes.

Vlad is what the US USED to be.

Fear is the only thing that keeps Muslims in line.

It has been that way for 14 centuries.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I wish I could post a GIF of the video.

To bomb these people during prayer violates the rules of civilized warfare

Excellent!

[Robe]

Kinda like the “Roach Motel”.....they go in but not come out !!!

[Enterprise]

This is the best I could find.

I have longed believed that Putin has the goods on BO and is blackmailing him along with other Islamic countries. That’s what happens when the candidates backgrounds are buried and sealed. Just wish he would let the rest of us know what he has.

But it matches accounts that the Russians were bombing ‘civilian’ targets
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Wouldn’t this be a ‘modern day’ version of the Vietnam ‘ we had to destroy the village to save it ‘???

If you bomb the civilians enough, they will start to turn out if not turn over the guys ‘we’ are looking for.

Sorry Rev, you allowed those guys to set up shop in your church. NOW you say you didn’t want them there, Well, ‘we’ helped you convince them to move.

[Squantos]

Hell yeah !!

To bomb these people during prayer violates the rules of civilized warfare.

Good thing it's not a civilized war.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

We want jihadis to see other jihadis, gloriously in flames, running around, slapping themselves, and screaming. Napalm. Its the only way to fly.

I gotta admit, I'd like to see the head-choppers in that defense condition.

[xrmusn]

you think bombing a bunch of Nazi in a church should have been given the same pass from our bombers...?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Hmmmm
Maybe this is why ‘they’ ‘pray’ 5 times a day and take a month off for prayer, plus a random prayer now and then.

Kind of like the referee saying immediate disqualification for hitting below the belt and the boxer hiked his shorts up to his eyebrows.

[ScottinVA]

Prayer clusters... funerals... mosques...

The Russians don’t worry much about ROE. EVERYTHING is in play. Heh-heh-heh...

[exit82]

+1

“My point is that I believe they fear the Russians more than they fear us”

No one fears us anymore.

[Bigg Red]

Pretty sad that we have to rely on the Russians to Rock the Casbah.

[null and void]

Good.

Let them hate, as long as they fear...
