Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iraq: Muslims kidnap 30 villagers, murder seven shepherds

Jun 24, 2018 1:58 pm By Robert Spencer

“He said residents could not defend themselves because their weapons had been confiscated, first by US-led forces which invaded Iraq in 2003, by IS from 2014 and then again by Iraqi security forces and their paramilitary allies.”

Now there’s an interesting fact to ponder.

“7 shepherds killed as IS ‘danger’ grips Iraqi desert,” Gulf Times, June 19 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Seven shepherds and farmers have been found murdered after the Islamic State jihadist group kidnapped dozens of people in the desert region of central Iraq, a local official said Tuesday.

In a renewed threat to the region, IS attacked several remote villages and seized 30 locals from their homes, Ali al-Nawaf, a municipal council chief, told AFP.

“The bodies of seven of them have been found and security forces are searching for the others,” he said.

The victims, in pictures posted on social media, were discovered with their hands tied behind their backs and eyes bound with red-and-white keffiyeh headscarves.

“This area used to be quite well-populated but it has emptied because it’s become very dangerous for residents, who live off agriculture or as shepherds,” said Nawaf.

He said residents could not defend themselves because their weapons had been confiscated, first by US-led forces which invaded Iraq in 2003, by IS from 2014 and then again by Iraqi security forces and their paramilitary allies.

The Shammar tribe to which the local residents belong was targeted by IS for having sided with the government in its battle with the jihadists, who were expelled from their last urban strongholds last year.

Despite the government’s declaration last December of victory over IS, the jihadists have continued to carry out attacks in remote desert areas….

    Funny. When I was in Iraq back in 2005-6 I believe each household was allowed one AUTOMATIC rifle and something like 2 or 3 magazines!

    That old Muslim war strategy: overwhelm, murder, kidnap, pillage, and rape. Perfected hundreds of years ago.

      Obviously they still do the same. Although a bit slower.:
      Infiltrate. Play the nice guy or defensless woman. Mary non muslims .

    Are these the same IS jihadis who were allowed to leave Raqqa with their weapons last year to kill another day?

    I think they may have been after the sheep for their brothels.

    Where is the inter-tribe dialogue? Where are the vigils to bring calm to the community? Why oh why can’t the moslims just get along with others….not even other moslims can they get along.

    The terrorists prey on the vulnerable, even vulnerable moslims. It’s a satanic thing, a satanic ritual, a demonic command, and they do so enjoy their work.

    See…gun control really does work! We should always trust the governments.
