Iraqi media are reporting that ISIS militants have opened the taps of an oil pipeline in the town of Qayyarah, in northern Iraq. Crude is flowing in the streets, as images from Qayyarah show, and people are worried about what will happen if someone decides to set the crude on fire.
Iraqi News notes that this is not the first time that the ISIS militants have resorted to this response: before Qayyarah was liberated by the Iraqi army and the U.S.-led coalition forces, the terrorist group spilled crude from the local pipeline into the Tigris River, which runs through the town, causing major environmental damage.
There are still ISIS militants scattered in the area around Qayyarah, so it is possible they will do more damage if given the chance, Iraqi media warn.

Muslims are pretty level headed people. I’m sure everything will be fine.

Agreed. See American Revolution circa 1765-83 for model.
My first hand observation made it clear they are stuck in a "tribal" mindset.

I think the oil will burn if they set it on fire. Is IsIs a Saudi ploy to maintain control of OPEC? Were 0 and Clinton in cahoots with the House of Saud to bring chaos to the Middle East through the Arab “Spring?”

How can you expect the Iraqis to stand up to ISIS when we don’t?
