"Those dogs are Chechens. They don't deserve to stay alive. We took confessions from them and we don't need them anymore," said one of the Shi'ite militiamen.

Iraqi Shia militiamen executed foreign Chechen terrorists who were in Iraq to terrorize and kill Iraqis? This is not tribalism. This is a case foreign-based international terrorism and the summary execution of same. Good kill.

Lol. oh those heretics!

You forget that most Muslim males are homosexuals first and view women as second class persons best.
