Women ripped off their black burqas and defiantly smoked cigarettes, while the men cut their beards as they gave the peace sign.

Why did you take so long? sobbed one woman, who had been trapped in her basement for a week along with her two daughters and elderly father after Isil threatened to kill anyone who tried to escape.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) declared the city fully liberated on Friday, saying they were starting a new history after closing the book of darkness.

After we created ISIS and kept funding it, now comes this heart-shattering Potemkin Village scene of Muslim women rending their burkas.
As we used to say in Newark, gimme a break.

Why did you take so long? sobbed one womanYou know, I can at least intellectually understand what she's saying. But good Lord, what have her fellow muzzles been doing to help her ... Nothing.
Is it even in their vocabulary to say "thank you" without complaining?
To: CorporateStepsister
Not to worry ISIL. Obama has your back and you’ll be back in charge ASAP
