OUTRAGE IN SYRIA, IRAQ AS ISIS MEMBERS TREATED AS CELEBRITIES IN WEST
Jerusalem Post ^ | Feb. 19, 2019 | SETH J. FRANTZMAN

Mahmoud Sheikh Ibrahim has seen the worst of ISIS crimes over his years working with journalists covering the conflict in Syria and Iraq.

Shocked to see the numerous interviews by Western publications with ISIS members in Syria and the sympathy some have garnered in the West, he emphasizes that these people don’t regret joining ISIS.

Ibrahim is one of many in Iraq and Syria expressing bewilderment at the sudden attention “ISIS brides” and other ISIS members are getting in the media.

Last week, The Times of London published an interview with Shemima Begum, a British woman who traveled to Syria in 2015 to join ISIS and married a Dutch convert. After her first interview she has become a celebrity in UK media, with Sky News and the BBC sitting down with her in a displaced persons camp in Syria.

The view on this issue from Syria is quite a lot different than the fluff job being done in the press about the ISIS brides.

I wonder is Sky News and the BBC are going to cover the story of the 50 heads of the 50 sex slaves who were left behind by ISIS?!

The left loves death. It is a fun toy for them. ISIS, with all their clever ways to be macabre, is groovy.

This is just more agenda driven journalism. Anyone watching the Oscars saw the same crap.

Anyone who can be labelled an "immigrant" is celebrated because they think it gives Trump or anyone else who would enforce immigration laws a black eye. Dozens of Yazidi sex slaves beheaded? Was it Stalin who said you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs?

I was reading the Atlantic just now and Graeme Wood says:

“We inflicted them on the world. They are our responsibility, and we have to punish them, rather than force others to punish them on our behalf.”

Nobody is asking the world to punish these people on our behalf, they are being punished because they committed crimes and atrocities in countries that are now going to punish them because they broke the law.

I really am having a great deal of difficulty trying to understand the media on this, and the only thing I can come up with is that America is a terrible place that has inflicted these terrorists on the Middle East so America deserves to have the terrorists back.

It is almost as if the press just wants to run roughshod over the people of other countries and their laws. It almost reminds me of the Saudis who were spirited out of our country before they could be brought to justice. Everyone thought that was terribly arrogant, but that is pretty much what the press is advocating here with these ISIS members.

“The left loves death. It is a fun toy for them. “

There is a reason that “EVIL” is “LIVE” spelled backwards. Democrats are an evil anti life party.
