Islamic State “Systematically Beheading” Christian Children, Raping Mothers, Hanging Fathers…

Noisy Room

 
"Beyond words."
A prominent Christian leader of the Chaldean community unveiled the “systematic beheading of children” and other horrendous crimes committed by ISIS. He said that the Sunni extremists are committing genocide against Christians in Iraq and with the aim to instill the Sharia Law as the law of the land.

In the interview with CNN’s Jonathan Mann, Chaldean-American businessman Mark Arabo said that the “world hasn’t seen an evil like this for generations.”
“There is a park in Mosul, where [ISIS] they actually beheaded children and put their heads on a stick and have them in the park,” he explained. “More children are getting beheaded, mothers are getting raped and killed, and fathers are being hung.”


Speaking from San Diego over Skype, Arabo called for the international community to offer asylum to the more than 300,000 Christians fleeing and living in neighboring cities.


“The world hasn’t seen this kind of atrocity in generations,” he said. “This is a crime against humanity. This is much broader than a community or a state. This is crime against humanity. They are doing the most horrendous, the most heart-breaking crimes that you can think of.”


When asked about Sunni extremists’ targeting of Christians, Arabo said that around 95 percent of Christians have fled, five percent have converted. Also, the ISIS have marked the death stamps on Christian homes, so whoever returns will get killed.  Keep reading…

 The slaughter of the Yazidi

http://youtu.be/JNoP-tQ5mCw
 
"While over 700 journalists were covering the Gaza conflict, few paid attention to the mass slaughter in Iraq of the Yazidi, who are on the verge of a true genocide at the hands of ISIS.

"Finally the impending massacre is getting coverage, but it may be too late." ...


Also this: While the world is preoccupied with Gaza, another religious minority faces the world’s worst fanatics.
... "Yet America must understand that our physical separation from the world won’t shelter us from its problems. We must accept that our deliberate neglect of strategic purpose only invites alternate strategic purpose: the purpose of IS and its opposite fanatics in Iran. And we must realize that those threats aren’t static. Uncontested, these political cancers will spread toward us."

Amnesty as impeachment bait

Charles Krauthammer

"President Obama is impatient. Congress won’t act on immigration, he says, and therefore he will. The White House is coy as to exactly what the president will do. But the leaks point to an executive order essentially legalizing an enormous new class of illegal immigrants, perhaps up to 5 million people.

"One doesn’t usually respond to rumors. But this is an idea so bad and so persistently peddled by the White House that it has already been preemptively criticized by such unusual suspects as (liberal) constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley, concerned about yet another usurpation of legislative power by the “uber presidency,” and The Post editorial page, which warned that such a move would “tear up the Constitution.”...

In Case You Forgot – Obama’s Position on Israel Comes From Jeremiah Wright

"For anyone who’s wondering about Obama’s tepid response to the current conflict in Gaza, I’d like to remind you of Jeremiah Wright’s words on the subject.

"In 2008, the liberal media told us this wasn’t news.

Obama’s Pastor: God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11
In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda’s attacks because of its own terrorism.
“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye,” Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.
“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost,” he told his congregation.
Sen. Obama told the New York Times he was not at the church on the day of Rev. Wright’s 9/11 sermon. “The violence of 9/11 was inexcusable and without justification,” Obama said in a recent interview. “It sounds like he was trying to be provocative,” Obama told the paper.

U.S. Plays Directly into Hamas' Hands   "In a moment of political correctness meant to appease the enemies of its single most trustworthy ally in the entire Middle East, the United States chose to blacken the eye of Israel regarding the attack on the UNRWA school which took place on Sunday.

“Political correctness” is an oft-used method of taking the easy route by doing nothing more than what is popular. This is precisely what the U.S. did. If however they had chosen to do something which is actually appropriate instead of politically correct, their statement would have been  entirely different. For example:
 

Jimmy Carter Calls For Recognition Of Hamas, Condemns Israel’s War Policies

Inquisitr
Jimmy Carter
"Jimmy Carter is calling on the U.S. and Europe to recognize Hamas as a legitimate political actor in his new op-ed in Foreign Policy Magazine titled How to Fix It.
“The United States and EU should recognize that Hamas is not just a military but also a political force. Hamas cannot be wished away, nor will it cooperate in its own demise. Only by recognizing its legitimacy as a political actor — one that represents a substantial portion of the Palestinian people — can the West begin to provide the right incentives for Hamas to lay down its weapons.”
"Jimmy Carter may be the most authoritative American voice to come out in support of Hamas. The middle-east may have shaped President Carter’s legacy more than any other president before or since. He oversaw the Camp David Peace Accords that successfully led to a lasting peace between Egypt and Israel. He also watched as a vehemently anti-American government took control of Iran and held 52 Americans hostage for over a year.
 
"Now Carter’s op-ed piece puts the blame for the current Gaza conflict on the shoulders of Israel. Suggesting that the tragedy is the result of “deliberate obstruction of a promising move toward peace in the region.”   More here.

Stories From The Battlefield: Hamas Tunnels Used To Target Israel’s Kindergartens

Who are the more contemptible; those like this who would murder men, women, and children or those leftists in so-called civilized countries who support them? TD

Daily Caller    "Multiple media outlets report that Hamas’s offensive tunnel network – now known to have been composed of over forty attack tunnels dug underneath Israel’s border with the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip – was set to be activated during the Jewish High Holidays (September 24th) as a mass terror attack.

"The attack was meant to generate as many as ten thousand casualties, men, women and particularly children and hundreds of captives.  Explosives were particularly placed underneath kindergartens to make certain that these “institutions” would be the first struck, even before any thing else.

"The IDF recently published the below map showing that tunnels were created in pairs, to empty out on both sides of nearby communities.  The known cost of the infrastructure – each tunnel costs upward of some $1 million – clearly shows that Hamas was planning a coordinated mega-attack.  It must be understood that use of even one tunnel would inevitably trigger Israeli retaliation against the entire network.
 

  A map of a small portion of the tunnels meant to be used 9 weeks from now.
 "Revelations regarding the planned tunnel attack magnitude played a decisive role in the Israeli government’s rejection of a ceasefire proposed late Friday by Secretary of State John Kerry.
"Unbelievably, Kerry actually proposed in his latest “cease-fire proposal” – none of which have been honored by Hamas so far – that Israel refrains from degrading remaining attack tunnels.  This mind-boggling concept would necessarily be rejected by any sane government, of any country.
  Gaza2
"Israeli security sources, citing information acquired in interrogations of captured brigands, described a scenario under which hundreds of heavily armed Hamas fighters would have spilled out into Israel in the dead of night and within 10 minutes been positioned to infiltrate essentially all Israeli communities surrounding the Gaza Strip.  Waiting then in hiding until schools and kindergartens were occupied, the terrorists would then attempt to kill the children first, and then kill and kidnap as many Israelis as possible.  The plot was set to take place during Jewish New Year, on September 24.by Taboola
Gaza3
 Fantastic quantities of explosives were stored in every tunnel, meant to be used in a mega-attack on civilian communities and infrastructure.
“ 'It’s like the Underground, the Metro or the Subway,” Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said. “These tunnels are all connected. I would describe it as Lower Gaza.”
"Israeli Economy Minister Naftali Bennett said, “A whole city of terror tunnels has been found.  Without the ground operation, we would have woken up one day to an Israeli 9/11.”
"Except, the actual objective was to be five times 9/11."   Read more.

The Missing Hamas Fighters; Harassment, intimidation, and threats frequently employed by Hamas on journalists.

NRO

 
... "While images of devastated Palestinian homes and wounded individuals can easily be found on cable news reports and front pages, some are asking why those same photographers and correspondents have not provided images of Hamas fighters who are presumably in the area.
...
"A handful of journalists currently working in Gaza have revealed that they get harassed and threatened by Hamas when they attempt to report information about the group, including launch sites, meeting locations, and entrances to Hamas’s tunnel system. Hamas fighters have threatened to confiscate camera equipment; and in other cases they have simply tried to kill the journalists."   

Hamas cheers for their victory

Alan Caruba: It's about the Money, Not the Climate

Warning Signs

 
... "These days, when some world leader or politician speaks of the climate—the weather is what is happening right now wherever you are—they are not talking about sunshine or rain. They are talking about a devilishly obscene way of raising money by claiming that it is humans that are threatening the climate with everything they do, from turning on the lights to driving anywhere.
 
"That’s why “global warming” was invented in the late 1980s as an immense threat to the Earth and to mankind. Never mind that Earth has routinely passed through warmer and cooler cycles for billions of years; much of which occurred before mankind emerged. And never mind that the Earth has been a distinct cooling cycle for the past seventeen years and likely to stay in it for a while. If the history of ice ages is any guide, we could literally be on the cusp of a new one." ...

Here comes the money angle:
"If, however, a government can tax the use of energy, it stands to make a lot of money. That is why carbon taxes have been introduced in some nations and why the nearly useless “clean energy” options of wind and solar have been introduced even though they both require the backup of traditional coal, natural gas and nuclear energy plants because they cannot produce electricity if the wind isn’t blowing and the sun is obscured by clouds. "

The day the Muslims repented



The following is purely fictitious, but if it ever happened it would change the entire World.

Renew America
"An Official Declaration from The Islamic World Council."   Excerpt follows...

"In the name of the entire Islamic People, we herein make humble confession of our age-old errors and repent wholeheartedly of them.

"1. We have pursued a wicked policy of forced conversion throughout the World, whereas the people of the World have every right to believe whatsoever they choose to believe, we once and for all acknowledge that individual choice is God-given and sacrosanct. We shall never again attempt to inflict on the World a religion and political system which has neither helped us, nor is it likely to help anyone else. It was no coincidence that Islam only began growing after Mohammed resorted to violence. We repent of this and of the 270 million deaths that we have caused throughout history and plead for the World's forgiveness.

"2. We are sorry for taking advantage of all the countries in which we have been welcomed, by secretly plotting and working to overthrow those countries from within. We were unworthy of your kindness. " ...  Full article...

But my best choice is this excerpt:

"6. The matter of the Jews and Israel weighs particularly heavily upon us. From time immemorial we have oppressed you, pursued you, persecuted you. We have told lies about you, we have killed your men, raped your women and taken your children as slaves. And, as if this wasn't bad enough, we have pretended that we were simply being devout believers in Allah, that what we were doing was praiseworthy. In fact, we were murderers, lustful and wicked, inspired only by evil. It is difficult for us to even have the temerity to ask your forgiveness for this, instead, we cast ourselves on your mercy and on the mercies of the God of Israel."

Gaza: What Could the Press Corps Have Done Differently?

"The interviewer, Kate Bolduan, wasn’t representing the mainstream media, but she was prepared ahead of time to defend CNN’s work."
 


... "So what do I think reporters should be doing better? I’ll sum it up in a 12-letter word.

"Transparency.

"Transparency demands that reporters be frank with their audiences about the circumstances they work under, and the methodology they use to gather and verify information.

"I haven’t seen many journalists openly say things like “Hamas doesn’t allow reporters to . . .” or, “Some people from Hamas threatened me when . . . .”

"I haven’t seen statements such as, “These casualty figures are based on Gaza health officials who are employed by Hamas.”

"I haven’t seen any reporters point out that Hamas hasn’t released the names of any of its fallen combatants, nor have I seen coverage of the Gaza funerals reflecting that the dead person may have been a combatant. Do journalists only go to the funerals of children?" ...
