I doubt Zarqawi will try this in the Kurdish areas: these ladies will see his "sermon" and raise him a few dozen 7.62 rounds.

Women Peshmergas

when they first posted the $25M bounty for bin Laden, a reporter asked an afghan dude what he would do with that kind of money. the dude said he would buy some new goats.

That might be part of the problem that a simple person over there can't really grasp the concept of $25M so it's not real. Maybe the reward should be changed to "A herd of 10,000 goats or camels or sheep, (your choice), with range land and a lifetime supply of feed." ?

Sunni terrorists would be exposed and shot in Kurdistan.

Its funny that media never mentions the good news about the Kurds.

YES!!!!!

New idea- put the Kurds in charge.

From the looks of this, they really have their act together up in Kurdistan.

The US army should use this as a recruiting poster, with the old "We want you!" slogan- red blooded young Americans will flock to that banner.

Well said. One recalls that it took the might of the British Empire at the height of it's power to quash the nightmarish Thuggee cult in India. One also recalls that political correctness didn't enter into the process.

Actually, the young men who want to stop all this are joining the Iraqi army and Iraqi police. And dying in defense their women, by the hundreds.

According to a woman quoted in the article, “The police do nothing, even if something happens in front of their eyes". So they are joining, and dying (you're right), but at least according to this woman, they aren't doing what they should be doing.

I don't question their manhood or courage.

Me neither but I certainly do question the manhood of those who look the other way at this bullying (if/when they do so), which is what is taking place according to the article.

You know- in a country FULL of guns that are fired in the streets for celebration, WHY aren't these 'enforcer' types being picked off by the 'good' population? You'd think one machine gun could eliminate the entire car load of barbarians.
Where are the 'good' Muslims fighting back for their OWN freedom?

LOL, I had the exact same thing pop into my mind when I saw the headline.

As is percieved by too many muslims... the “good” muslims you speak of are the ones doing the terrorizing. This includes their fathers, brothers, etc etc.

Repeat after me-—
It’s the ‘religion’, it’s the ‘religion’, it’s the ‘religion’.

If this kind of barbarism was not at the heart of Islam, if the Koran didn’t exist as an instruction manual, if Islam was not the death cult that it is at its core there would be no
‘holy permission’ for ANY of the atrocities the world is suffering. There also wouldn’t be any fear of standing up to this evil.
But- it is ISLAM that is terrorizing these women, shaving their heads, keeping them prisoner. There is a hatred/fear of women and all things civilized, to be sure, but it is ISLAM that is the enemy.
Live by the evil cult- suffer because of the evil cult.
I’m a woman, and I have no sympathy. When they’ve had enough they will rise up and purge Islam from their society-until then Islam will torture and kill them.
