“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, (snip) has vowed to lead the conquest of Rome....”
.
That is the exact reason so many folks from North Africa are crossing the Med and invading Italy.
Real question: are these North African muzzies infiltrating Sicily, Reggio di Calabria, or anywhere in southern Italy where the Mafia is strong & folks don’t cotton much to outsiders? Just asking.
Seems like the easiest way in Sicily to get oneself blown away by a sawed-off `lupara’ is to be heard chanting “Allahu Akbar!!”
Obama, the Islamic State and Christian
8/19/2014 - Chuck Norris
Pundits and news agencies have questioned the validity of reports that the Islamic State is beheading children in its conquest of Syria and Iraq. But there is one fact that cant be contested: The Sunni-dominated al-Qaida splinter group is on a war rampage using some of the most heinous and barbaric means to exterminate anyone who opposes it, particularly Christians.
In 2011, President Barack Obama declared, The long war in Iraq will come to an end by the end of this year. The only thing he didnt count on was that the terrorist enemies of the U.S. decided not to also call it quits on the war.
Last Wednesday, Obama called it quits again with combat operations in Iraq or the dropping-bombs-and-not-calling-it-combat-operations operations.
From his vacation spot on Marthas Vineyard, Obama declared: We broke the (Islamic State) siege of Mount Sinjar. We helped vulnerable people reach safety, and we helped save many innocent lives. Because of these efforts, we do not expect there to be an additional operation to evacuate people off the mountain, and its unlikely that were going to need to continue humanitarian airdrops on the mountain. The majority of the military personnel who conducted the assessment will be leaving Iraq in the coming days.
I guess we should be relieved again that were pulling out of Iraq, and the Islamic State will retreat from its tyrannical rampages, right? Not a chance.
While Obama was politicizing the success of his in-and-out combat mission, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on the international community to do even more to provide protection, according to UN News Centre.
Why? Because just two days before Obama spoke about mission success, the U.N. refugee agency reported that an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 people remain trapped on the Mountain.
A profoundly dismayed Ban added that the Islamic State remains carrying out barbaric acts, which he said, in UN News Centres words, include accounts of summary executions, boys forcibly taken from their homes to fight, (and) girls abducted or trafficked as sex slaves. Even those who manage to get off Mount Sinjar remain exposed to, Ban said, a perilous odyssey to freedom.
How perilous? Heres what we know about the Islamic States horrific acts over the past few months:
