Islamic State video shows mass execution in ruins of Palmyra

Jul 4, 2015 3:33 pm By Robert Spencer

Palmyra2Savagery advances with confidence while Western leaders are only intent on making sure that this group that recruits Muslims and justifies its actions on the basis of Islamic teaching has nothing to do with Islam.

“IS video shows mass execution in ruins of Syria’s Palmyra,” AFP, July 4, 2015:

The Islamic State group on Saturday released a video showing several dozen Syrian government soldiers being executed by teenagers in the ancient amphitheatre in the city of Palmyra.

The video documented an execution that reportedly happened shortly after the group captured the city on May 21, showing 25 soldiers being shot dead on the amphitheatre’s stage in front of the group’s black and white flag.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Indeed!

    IS = Islamic Savages

    And lest the false narrative continues …

    IS *is* 100% islam.

    “…being executed by teenagers…”

    Was it the JV or the varsity group?

      JV — Varsity ? They’re all going to the victory dance.

      Those who previously were *cheerleaders*. All distilled down, all evil, all of the time, playing on satan’s team.

        For commenters and readers here who do not already know about resources for videotaped justice against Allah’s fraternity boys — try Funker530 and Liveleaks . . .Youtube should have plenty of them.

        As we celebrate a rare gift of freedom : pour an adult beverage, munch on the grill’s yield, reflect on our extraordinary ancestors, and watch Savages (as Pam Geller so accurately calls them) involuntarily get on the express train to Hell.

    One thing we have to realize is that the Muslim world is not recoverable, as far as our ideas of democracy and human rights. The most we can hope for is the maintenance of strong borders and separate states acting as a balance to each other. The perfect example is the enmity between Iraq and Iran. Israel, also a country vitally affected by the region, took steps to neutralize the Osiris nuclear reactor complex in which Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was trying to construct a nuclear bomb.

    Unfortunately, through the actions of several US Presidents, the existence of several countries has been destroyed, paving the way for ISIS. Actually, were it not for the good sense of the Egyptian military, the situation might be even worse than it is now.

    We dodged the bullet, just barely, when the Obama administration planned significant air strikes against the Syrian government for chemical attacks which they may or may not have carried out, but which are certainly the lesser of the evils facing the Syrian population. I have no doubt if the Obama administration’s plans had been carried out, the Syrian government would have collapsed by now, probably as planned. Whatever non-ISIS rebel groups remained would have been easily mopped up by ISIS, and all of Syria, not to mention significant territories in Iraq and Libya, would be under ISIS domination.

    It is important to keep this in mind: wresting control from ISIS is going to involve the formation of tribal territories, and the methods of fighting and disposing of captives will be repugnant to our Western sensibilities. We can work with governments repugnant to us, as long as we recognize they are associates of the moment and that their identity and borders contribute to the overall stability of the region.

      Excellent post — especially the last paragraph.

      As presidential candidate contenders reluctantly address the Middle East conflagration, I would urge readers + commenters here to email them about honest non-PC realism, even if it means some clueless voters will initially be turned off.

      Then, when months pass and “campaigns” get intense, email them again mentioning factual resources like Jihad Watch, Atlas Shrugs, Answeringmuslims, Thereligionofpeace, Inquiryintoislam, Citizenwarrior, Counterjihadreport, Barenakedislam.

      And remember please, on the aisle’s other side, Hillary Seditionist Clinton is NOT THE ONLY DECLARED PERSON ! ! ! I am a lifelong 66 year old Democrat who will be backing someone of far superior credentials and loyalty to America.

      I invoke jihad3tracher, RonaldB, in praise of your comment, except with this variation: Excellent post—–especially the first sentence.

      Islam is a burden to all mankind. By now one knows this or should know it. All the rest is ancillary to this truth, though the “details” respecting what to do about this verity remain very fluid at the moment, to put it mildly.

    Behold the face of true islam as practiced by muslims adhering to the example set by muhammad and the rightfully guided caliphs as closely as they can.

    These kinds of sadistic displays are like the ancient Romans feeding Christians to lions while the audience cheered and had public orgasms. ISIS produces snuff films because they know there is a audience of wannna be perverts out there who get off on it. These people make fine jihadists. They are like a porn addict who wins a sex date with his favorite porn actress.
    It’s a glorious day when the spectator turns into a participant.
    Especially when Allah wills it, which he always does…But just because Allah is willing it, does not mean it has anything to do with Islam…

    The West does not have any leadership. Stooges perhaps, but leaders? No.

    Islamic State video shows mass execution in ruins of Palmyra
    ……………….

    Why Palmyra? Because Infidels value it. Hence, these pious Muslims are defiling it by using it as an abattoir.

    I wrote two papers on Palmyra when I was studying art history at Berkeley.

    This atrocity would be appalling enough in any case, of course.

    ISIS has vowed to raze the ruins of Palmyra, and likely will as soon as they can manage the logistics.

    God, I hate Islam.
