Italy might take it to ISIS as well. ISIS’ conquest over Rome is quite fashionable now.
Well, if all of the mamma’s boys cut the apron strings immediately and take up arms, that’s a pretty formidable army.
History- nothing new-
Turko-Italian war=
“On October 23, 1911 nearly 500 Italian soldiers were slaughtered with cruelty at Sciara Sciatt in the outskirt of Tripoli [LIBYA} by Turkish troops.[29] As a consequence in the next dayduring the 1911 Tripoli massacreItalian troops systematically murdered hundreds of civilians by moving through the local homes and gardens one by one, including setting fire in the fighting to a mosque with one hundred refugees inside.[30] Although Italian authorities attempted to keep then news of the massacre from getting out, the incident soon became internationally known.[30] and successively started to show photos of the massacred Italian soldiers at Sciara Sciat in order to justify their revenge.
I saw (in Sciara Sciat) in one mosque seventeen Italian crucifixed with their bodies reduced to the status of bloody rags and bones, but whose faces still retain traces of hellish agony. It has passed through the neck of these wretched a long barrel and arms resting on this rod. They were then nailed to the wall and died for a slow fire between untold suffering. It is impossible for us to paint the picture of these hideous rotted meat hanging pitifully on the bloody wall. In a corner another body is crucified, but as an officer he was to have refined his sufferings. The eyes are stitched. All the bodies were mutilated and castrated; so indescribable was the scene and the bodies appeared swollen as shapeless carrion. But that’s not all! In the cemetery of Chui which served as a refuge from the Turks and whence pulled from afar we could see another show. Under the same door in front of the Italian trenches five soldiers had been buried up to their shoulders, their heads emerged from the black sand stained of their blood: heads horrible to see, and there you could read all the tortures of hunger and thirst (Gaston Leroud and the correspondent of Matin-Journal[8])”
