Women are burning their burqas and men shaving off their beards in a show of defiance against ISIS after escaping from the terrorist group's stronghold in Syria.

Civilians in Raqqa tore off their traditional dress and set it alight after being liberated from the city on Thursday.

And some of the men immediately began shaving off their facial hair in a move to 'spite' Islamic State.

Strict dress codes were implemented by ISIS, requiring women to wear long, black robes over their dresses and cover their faces almost entirely with black burqas.

One woman, who had exposed her face, refusing to wear the veil, said: "They killed my son because he wouldn't pray.

And to think that some women here in the U.S. are trying to make the burqa a fashion statement.

Pathetic.

Exactly. And thanks to the MB, CAIR, our last administration and other terrorist orgs, our youth are being brainwashed and taught in schools to submit to the wording and thinking of those lunatic fanatics.

I’m a cynic. How many of those shaving their beards and abandoning their costumes are actually ISIS blending in?

I won’t be impressed until they torch the mosques and hang the clerics.

Now only if we could convince them that ISIS is Islam.

Now that you mention it... Yes. That is exactly what anyone with any sense would be doing. If they are ‘losing’ there they would want to blend in to fight again. Blending in is a survival skill. And the evil ones are masters at it.

Yup. After their cities are leveled and stink of death, they still haven't figured out that Islam itself is the problem.

They will clean up the rubble and promptly put up a mosque.

Dumbshits, every last one.

That would be impressive. Hopefully someday anyone with a mustard seed of good will wake up and see how evil that root belief system is.

Now come out of the darkness and into the light. Except Jesus Christ and be baptized.

Should have left Saddam in place.

Iran owns the southern half of Iraq. Turkey, ISIS and Syria fighting over the remainder

“and men shaving off their beards in a show of defiance against ISIS”

I’ve read the Koran twice now and for the life of me I can’t find anything that says men have to grow beards. The closest is when he chastises someone for an unkempt beard. Other Islamic countries don’t do this. Just the ones driven by Arabic culture and Wahhabism.

Nothing serious to say here.
