ISIS Militants Selling, Crucifying, Burying Children Alive in Iraq, Says UN Watchdog
Reuters via The Straights Times ^ | (Thursday) February 5, 2015

Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants are selling abducted Iraqi children at markets as sex slaves, and killing other youths, including by crucifixion or burying them alive, a United Nations watchdog said on Wednesday.

Iraqi boys aged under 18 are increasingly being used by the militant group as suicide bombers, bomb makers, informants or human shields to protect facilities against US-led air strikes, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child said.

"We are really deeply concerned at torture and murder of those children, especially those belonging to minorities, but not only from minorities," committee expert Renate Winter told a news briefing.

"The scope of the problem is huge."

Children from the Yazidi sect or Christian communities, but also Shi'ites and Sunnis, have been victims, she said.

"We have had reports of children, especially children who are mentally challenged, who have been used as suicide bombers, most probably without them even understanding," Winter told Reuters.

"There was a video placed (online) that showed children at a very young age, approximately eight years of age and younger, to be trained already to become child soldiers."

Islamic State is a breakaway Al-Qaeda group that declared an Islamic caliphate across parts of Syria and Iraq last summer.

A president with any morals would never have left Iraq to fend for itself. Their blood is on Obama’s hands.

And we thought the Nazi’s we animals, ISIS has them beat hands down. Guess the only way to get odumbo to go for the ISIS throat is to send his daughters over there and wait for his reaction.

I have not supported the use of atomic or nuclear weapons but there comes a time when “mad dogs” need to be put down.

When America decides not to lead, nobody seems to step up to the plate.

Perhaps only one other nation in history - the British Empire at its height - would have intervened militarily in the current Middle East situation.

I don't see any other nation today who would touch ISIS with a ten foot pole. And I do find it very curious that their relationship with Turkey seems to be 100% cordial.

You can tell where Obama has been by the broken and bleeding bodies.

And the Current Occupant appears to be both determined to depose Bashar in Syria

I have to wonder if one of these countries that is under duress by ISIS due to obama are not formulating some plans of their own to depose of obama.

Concern should mean a few B-52 bombers over Raqqa.

Very interesting proposition I heard on Howie Carr’s show yesterday: “the terrorists are not islamic”. Fair enough, since they’re not islamic, they should not have korans, prayer mats, halal food while staying at Uncle Sam’s convenience right?

“...especially children who are mentally challenged...”

This is the Middle East where inbreeding is the norm. Plus, anyone that believes in islam is mentally challenged. So, how can they really tell?

These are Huns, Mongols, and will scourge Europe. If America manages to avoid a totalitarian takeover in the next two years we will eventually get a handle on it before it sweeps over America because what we will watch in Europe will panic as the Left and America will finally react against the Moslems foreign and domestic. But it will be too late for Europe and perhaps too late for South America.

It is the true face of Islam. Go get yourself an Arabian published copy of a translated Koran and read it.
