“Islamic State attack in Syria’s Raqqa kills 6 Kurdish security forces – official,” Reuters, December 26, 2022:
BEIRUT, Dec 26 (Reuters) – Six Kurdish-led security force members were killed in an Islamic State suicide attack on Monday on a security forces centre in Syria’s Raqqa, the chief of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazloum Abdi, wrote on Twitter.
One suicide bomber was killed and another detained, Farhad Shami, head of the SDF’s media centre, said.
Islamic State took over vast swathes of Iraq and Syria in 2014, including Raqqa which was its main seat of power, but since losing its last significant piece of territory in Syria in 2019 it has resorted to guerrilla attacks.
Its remaining thousands of militants have in recent years mostly hid out in remote hinterlands though they are still capable of carrying out insurgent-style attacks….

The reason so many Sunni Muslim Arabs hate Sunni Muslim Kurds is because they hate them. Disputes between Muslims could have originated with old border disagreements, nationalism, tribalism, relationships with non Muslim governments, disagreements over Islam’s doctrines and history, and more. But these causes have become buried under history and the only thing that remains is the tradition of hating. “I hate Kurds because my father did, because his father did, because his father did…..because (1300 years ago) some Kurds ambushed a caravan and killed an imam.” It’s a kind of a never ending revenge loop that easily overwhelms short lived spasms of peace.

DHZ,
Perhaps a little bit like the Hatfield–McCoy feud…

Islamic State scums of humanity must be eradicated along with their families no matter what the so-called anti-jihad pimps say.

I mean the some atheist so-called ex-muslims and organisations who claim Muslims are always victims in every case, not Jihad Watch.
