“When you meet the unbelievers, strike at the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) Not that this has anything to do with Islam, of course, because we all know that the Islamic State consists entirely of misunderstanders of Islam.
“ISIS Captures Syrian Military Base in Raqqa, Beheads Soldiers,” by Johnlee Varghese, International Business Times, July 25, 2014:
The ISIS has claimed that they have seized a large Syrian military base on the outskirts of the city of Raqqa and have beheaded several captured soldiers.
The militants have released several images of captured soldiers being beheaded, following the clashes. The images have been posted on Twitter by the ISIS media cell members.
BBC, quoting Arabic correspondent Rami Ruhayem, stated that the Raqqa base clashes were a major offensive, which dismisses reports that the ISIS militants and Assad government were collaborating.
The Raqqa base, manned by Division 17 of the Syrian army, is said to have been captured by ISIS militants, following an overnight seige that began on Thursday.
It is, however, speculated in the Syrian media that the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) made a tactical retreat from the Raqqa base as most of the Syrian soldiers were able to escape the ISIS militants.
The SAA soldiers is said to have regrouped and, in the meantime, air raids are being carried out in the area.
Citing the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which is an anti-regime group, The Daily Star Lebanon said the ISIS began the attack with two suicide car bombs.
And following the capture of the base by the ISIS, the Syrian defense carried out 14 airstrikes on ISIS fronts. The report also noted that army helicopters were dropping barrel bombs around the base….

And that’s precisely why I don’t go to jihadist cocktail parties.

Why isn’t the US bombing ISIS when their in the open? I guess thats because Muslim Obama has raises the white flag of surrender. I also expect Obama hopes that ISIS eventually moves ahead with an attack on israel. How many Americans spilled their blood in IRAQ and Afghanistan only to see Obama turn his back just as he is doing with the Ukranian crisis. America as well as Europe signed an agreement to support Ukraine if their attacked. Its looking more like Russia is about to launch a major attack on Ukraine. Meanwhile Obama is out on the Links again for another round of golf.

I am sure they beheaded the soldiers in a very kind way. After all, Islam is a Religion of Peace.

The Islamic State is concentrating efforts in Syria and Iraq of course; now is the time to watch if Damascus and Baghdad fall, if so . . . whole new ball game and a de facto confirmation that the world has a new real existential threat . . . Global Jihad with a well financed and trained “full blown army” backed by local popular support (and don’t forget those too sympathetic in Western countries°. Keep fingers crossed that does not happen.
Scary stuff!
Mr Spencer again many thanks for your hard work and persistence!

So, this Islamic army is involved in the 1400 year old Islamist expansion… and are beheading soldiers right and left. Where is the UN outcry?
Oh, yea… Israel didn’t send in enough truckloads of free goodies to the Gazans WHILE THE GAZANS WERE TRYING TO KILL JEWS… and therefore the Israelis need to be the focus of the world’s attention.

Islamic State captures Syrian military base in Raqqa, beheads soldiers
…………………………..
These pious butchers have, of course, done this before—they lined the streets of Mosul with the heads of Iraqi soldiers.
*This* is what the “Caliphate” is—a barbaric vision of hell itself.
Richie says
I;e never hear about Jews or Christians beheading people..
Maybe thats because that act of savagery is always done by Muslims
.
It seems every week several videos of Muslims sawing off someone’s head with a dull knife or hacksaw pops up on Liveleak. Muslims much regard such brutality as their porn

‘Islamophobia’: The irrational fear of having one’s head cut off.
Richie says
How will the west react not if but when Muslims start decapitating people in the streets of London and Paris?
Will the western media wake up to the barbarism and danger of Islam?
bernie says
That has already started in London with the British soldier who was murdered and butchered in the street in broad daylight last year.

A Muslim civil war is good for eliminating some savages.
