The Sheitat Tribe has a long, decorated history of fighting in Syria; many on the ground in the east see them as the last remaining barrier to ISIS domination of Deir Ezzor, which with its numerous oil fields is a key prize for the ISIS.
This week’s fighting was reportedly triggered by ISIS’s detention of three Sheitat tribesmen, violating the agreement made between the two sides, in which the Shaitat said it would not oppose ISIS in return for the extremists agreeing to not attack its members. Shoebat.com was able to obtain footage of what the ISIS does to captured tribesmen of the Sheitat showing the horrific end of about 100 captives with crucifixions, beheadings and shooting:
While the world has been focused on supposed atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza, the Islamist force has been extending its self-styled caliphate and consolidating its previous gains spreading carnage throughout Syria and Iraq and what Shoebat.com captured is not the only atrocity committed by this Caliphate regime in the last weeks. In the early hours of 24 July a Saudi volunteer belonging to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) drove a car packed with explosives towards the perimeter wall of a base manned by 300 soldiers of the 17th Division of the Syrian army near the city of Raqqa in north-east Syria.
As the Saudi raced at high speed towards the wall he was given covering fire by a barrage of artillery shells and rockets, but he did not quite make it. His car was hit by Syrian army fire and blew up with an explosion that shook buildings miles away in Raqqa city.
The plan had been for 40 Isis fighters to burst through a breach in the perimeter wall made by the suicide bomber. A further 600 Isis fighters were to follow up the first assault, if it made headway.
A second Saudi suicide bomber in a truck drove towards the base, but his explosives also detonated prematurely when hit by Syrian fire.
Even so, the Syrian army detachment appears to have been too small to defend the base and 50 of them were ambushed and killed as they pulled back. A Twitter account linked to Isis later showed horrific pictures of the heads of decapitated soldiers stuck on the spikes of what looks like a gate.
The victories of Isis, which has taken over much of eastern Syria in the last three weeks, have established its position as the dominant force among the Syrian rebels. It has driven the al-Qa’ida affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra out of the oil province of Deir Ezzor and other groups are disintegrating as their fighters defect to Isis, attracted by its astonishing victories in Syria and Iraq since the fall of Mosul on 10 June.
Soldiers of the Iraqi army, helped by tribal forces and volunteers, have been engaged in heavy fighting with the militants on different fronts and have so far been able to push back militants in several areas.
Songs are coming out calling for tribalism in Iraq. “Dai’sh (ISIS) where are you … I am the son of freedom holding on to my jealousy …”:
Following the Iraqi armed opposition’s seizure of Mosul on June 10, and the subsequent capture of large areas of Ninewah, Salah al-Din and Ta’mim governorates, several Iraqi organizations have proclaimed their role in the fighting.
Emerging as one of the most powerful opposition groups in the rebel offensive is the General Military Council for Iraqi Revolutionaries (GMCIR) and its affiliated tribal militias, organized as the Military Council of Iraqi Tribal Revolutionaries. GMCIR members state that the organization has existed since the summer of 2013, but announced its existence in January 2014, in order to respond militarily against Iraqi security forces for firing on Sunni demonstrators in Anbar governorate.
The GMCIR’s relationship with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) is also a controversial subject. Its members admit to an operational relationship with ISIS, particularly in Anbar, Ninewah and Salah al-Din govern orates.
Word is trickling out of Mosul that Iraqis are starting to chafe under the heavy-handed rule of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. There is much anger against ISIS for destroying a shrine to the biblical prophet Jonah. Residents actually gathered around Mosul’s ancient leaning minaret to prevent its destruction too.
In Mosul its blowing up of the Sunni mosque above the Tomb of Jonah, as well as the destruction of at least 30 other Sunni and Shia shrines, has dismayed local inhabitants.
Islam is a war against nationalism. It came to destroy the structure that God ordained us under different tribes and nations.
What we see in Syria and Iraq is the embryo of the Antichrist, which is composed of mixed nationalities and multitudes that fight anyone who refuses to fully melt. It’s the war between God and Satan in which God keeps us distinct through ethnicity while the devil wants to combine us as one to be easily ruled.
The concept is alluded to in Daniel 2:41 which points to the nature of the two materials (Iron and Clay) as being partly weak and partly strong. While it is correct to interpret this verse as an extension of the Greco-Roman Empires, it is also true that verse 43 has another layer and is rarely addressed in full:
“And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.”
To understand this layer regarding the meaning of this riddle in this verse needs to be noted; the underlined words “mixed” and “combine” are actually the same words translated differently from the Aramaic “la Muta’arreb” which also literally means, “does not Arabize.” Such understanding is not mine alone—Ibin Ezra, one of the foremost respected Jewish writers, supported it: “Ibn Ezra is of the opinion that the Greek Kingdom represented by the leopard includes the Roman Empire, for ethnically the Romans were related to the Greeks. The Kittim, identified as descendants of the Romans were related to the Yavan (Greece)… The fourth animal then represents the rule of the Arabs.”
Indeed, the beast is a Roman revival, but which part is the question? It’s the Greco-Roman, Byzantium (Turkey) and not Rome Italy.
Through God’s providence, Islam failed to unify the globe and re-create Babel in which everyone fully adheres to the Arabization process of Islam.

Rabbi Saadiah Gaon [believes that] the fourth animal in the vision includes both the Roman and the Arab empires.” 11 “Ibn Ezra is troubled by the absence of the kingdom of Ishmael, viz. the Arabs and the Turks, who were very powerful in his time. He therefore concludes that the… fourth kingdom is the kingdom of Ishmael. Mezudath David follows this view.” In the original language of much of the Book of Daniel. The word is actually “Arab.” Strong’s Concordance confirms this word “Mu-Arab” is to Arabize, And thus this passage can read: “And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be mixed (Arabized) with the seed of men (through intermarriage) and will not remain united, any more than iron does not mix with clay.” Arab {ar-ab’}; from ‘`arab’ (6150) in the figurative sense of sterility; Arab (i.e. Arabia), a country East of Palestine: –Arabia.” “or mereb (1 Kings 10:15), (with the article prefix), {eh’-reb}; from ‘`arab’ (6148); the web (or transverse threads of cloth); also a mixture, (or mongrel race):–Arabia, mingled people, mixed (multitude), woof.” Also see, The Book of Daniel, A New Translation with Rabbinic Commentary Anthologized from Talmudic, Midrashic and Rabbinic Sources, Rabbis Nosson Scherman and Meir Zlotowitz (Mesorah, Brooklyn, 1979) , p 199.

heads on pikes photo...for real
Yep.
OK. Perhaps, it’s not the best weapon for the job. I could have also said drop a nuke. To me that sounds a lot “cooler”. We could also deliver those from Tomahawks. Point is that ISIS is beyond contempt and we should eradicate them as a favor to humanity. Anyway we do that and protect US forces at the same time, I am in favor of it.
....”ISIS is beyond contempt and we should eradicate them as a favor to humanity”......
ISIS will continue as Muslim’s are too afraid of these characters to fight them themselves. They will let other nations army fight them and die for them.
It’s not just Iran funding ISIS......their religion supports and feeds ‘any’ who believe Islam must rule and that’s most of them. The citizens will not oppose ISIS and most of their army are too afraid to fight them.
You cannot change this Muslim death culture.....they are doing what they’ve been indoctrinated to do which includes the citizens who co-operate with them.
Look how the army cut and run....they KNOW these beasts and will not fight them.
What is wrong with you people ?
We should respect and honor all cultures no matter how barbaric and sadistic they are....
You know, diversity trumps everything....we should embrace that culture so we can understand it....
Remember all the three great religions are equal and should be respected....
Unfortunately for the 'moderate' Muslims, the ISIS campaign is primarily to eliminate the weak sisters and lukewarm jihadis from the ranks. The idea is that the Caliphate will be the home to the most worthy (who survive, of course).
Christians and Jews who get caught up in the juggernaut are fair game to the hardcore as well.
All the medieval horrors they can bring forth only serve to strengthen the 'faithful' and keep them in line (as horror has been used forever)--PSYOPs against the foe, warnings to the faithful--7th century 'shock and awe'.
No, not really, because it has been accelerating along that general vector for a while... but I have seen it make some noteworthy strides in that direction.
Vlad the Impaler once impaled thousands of mooselimbs to scare off the damned Persians.
It worked.
Time for another Vlad.
Petition Drive out of Belgium to Herman Van Rompuy
“STOP destroying our EU economy for Ukraine, a non-EU country”
We pay you to defend the economic intrest of the EU member countries population, NOT to destroy their jobs, NOT to generate a new crisis, NOT to make lives more difficult. We NEVER gave you a mandate to sanction our existing economic partners to defend Ukraine, who is NOT a member state of the EU. We demand a EU REFERENDUM to APPROVE or DISAPPROVE this SELF-DESTRUCTIVE policy.
Ping to ISIS executions. ( They force Obama to respond with futile gestures of aid and protection, pap for public consumption to give Obama plausible deniability). Soon the entire region will be awash in blood and genocide, which will be NOT covered by the MSM in the USA. ( We used history and Obama’s work with the Orange party in Kenya to predict in 2007/2008 that this would be Obama’s legacy ). This began with the NATO attack on Libya and the Benghazi based US transfer of the Libyan arsenal to ISIS, using the CIA.
Obama’s closet fascism is about to be revealed to the entire world.
The whole area is a powder keg......along with Russia's conflict on it's border.
While Ali-bama and Michele entertains African warlord monsters at a state dinner......
Islam....the religion of peace is at peace with genocides by terrorists in its name.
Have you heard of any Muslim protesting ISIS because of killing thousands of Yazidi Kurds? No!... Palestine? Yes! hypocrasy at its peak!
This is not how we do things in the 21st century..
GWB’s Saudi masters forced him to declare Islam a ROP. Should have been LOP. As in Off Your Head.
It sure does look like it- everyone needs to wake up and "get right with the Lord".
Pray daily, as often as you can, for the persecuted Christians everywhere, and for the world to return to, and be reconciled with, God Our Father .
Also pray for the unbelievers to be converted. Don't think there is much time left for them to change their ways.
It's later than it seems.
Ask yourself what would the Russians do in this case. That's what we should be doing.
