“To the Muslim Kurdish people: know that our war is not with you, rather it is with those who ventured into an alliance with the Safavids and crusaders to wage war on the Muslims.”
All in a day’s work: “when you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4).
“Islamic State video purports to show Kurdish peshmerga beheadings,” Reuters, March 20, 2015 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
(Reuters) – Islamic State has published a video purporting to show the beheading of three Kurdish peshmerga fighters in northern Iraq by militants who threatened to kill “dozens” more of those being held captive.
The six-minute clip, which appeared timed to coincide with celebrations for the Kurdish New Year, showed the peshmerga wearing orange jumpsuits being decapitated by three black-clad militants, all of whom spoke Kurdish.
The footage could not be independently verified.
The peshmerga have emerged as a key partner for the U.S.-led coalition in its campaign to “degrade and destroy” the extremist group, which they have driven back in northern Iraq with the help of airstrikes.
“To the Muslim Kurdish people: know that our war is not with you, rather it is with those who ventured into an alliance with the Safavids and crusaders to wage war on the Muslims,” said one of the militants, using derogatory terms to refer to Iran and the coalition respectively. Tehran has also provided assistance to the peshmerga.
Another of the militants then directly addressed Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani: “We warned you before that for every rocket you fire on those under the care of the Islamic State, you will kill one of your prisoners with your own hands.”…

Typical: criminals would rather blame the victims than take the responsibility for their evil actions.
This beast of satan, islam, devours all…even those who also worship satan if non-worshipping victims are unavailable. So disgusting and, yet, they boast of their activity.

One can only hope that many who consider themselves Muslim, realize that in their hearts that they are not (Muslim), and leave the cult of death and intolerance forever. The Middle East and the world needs a break from all this Islamic nonsense.

Why doesn’t John Kerry have a dialogue with ISIS? We need his excellent skills of negotiation to “confine” ISIS.
