How bad is ISIS? Soooo bad, because they kill .... JOURNALLISTS!

This bad:

Through it all, an eclectic band of organizations, ranging from a multinational team of anti-war activists to the UN’s local office, maintained scrupulous records of the dead. They logged every incident and released depressing day-by-day accounts of the carnage.

The emergence of the so-called Islamic State (IS or ISIS or ISIL) jihadist group has, however, plunged Iraq into a period of turbulence so debilitating that, for the first time, these death counts can no longer keep up with the killing.

The post goes on from there to some pretty horrible navel gazing as the real focus here is on members of the media getting killed:
It’s the sheer magnitude of the slaughter that’s overstretching these groups’ resources, but ISIS’s murderous approach to the media has compounded the problem. On top of the much publicized recent beheadings of two American journalists, ISIS also has killed dozens of Syrian and Iraqi reporters. Body counts rely heavily on local news articles for coverage of incidents in towns and rural pockets far from Baghdad, and the jihadists’ seizure of up to a third of Iraq has complicated attempts to report within their areas of control.
Kill an American soldier and you're a freedom fighter. Kill a journalist and you're a terrorist. Or something like that.

In the next war maybe we should just give all our soldiers press credentials? Maybe then they'd get some sympathy.

AQAP Threatens To Murder US Citizen Luke Somers And Invade Israel

Creeping Sharia:

we give the US government three days from the date of publication of this statement for the implementation of our demands, which are known to them very well. Otherwise, the American detainee will meet his inevitable fate, and we warn Obama and the US government against proceeding with any other follies.

“Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.”

The threat against Israel comes at the very end of the video.

Live Orion Test Delay Video (SCRUBBED)

Maybe they are just waiting for folks to wake up.



Broadcast live streaming video on Ustream
Atop the most powerful rocket available, NASA's next-generation space capsule Orion is scheduled to launch Thursday morning from Cape Canaveral Air Station.

The launch was originally scheduled for 6:05 CST, but a boater too close to the launch area temporarily delayed take-off. Wind gusts have further delayed the launch, the window for which officially closes around 8:45 CST

The 4 1/2 hour, unmanned mission will give NASA a chance to test America's new workhorse spacecraft. In coming decades, Orion is expected to carry astronauts deep into space: to the Moon, asteroids, Mars and beyond.

This flight will give NASA and Orion's builder, Lockheed-Martin, critical information about how Orion jettisons parts of the rocket as it goes up; how aviation controls and computers function; and how electronics hold up in deep-space radiation.

Also being closely watched will be how its heat shields work as re-entry temperatures reach 4,000 degrees; and if its three sets of parachutes make the landing safe enough for humans.

Update: We suck.

Leading Egyptian Cleric Mystified by Islamic Violence and Butchery

Yahoo:

CAIRO (Reuters) - A prominent Muslim cleric said on Wednesday the U.S.-led coalition carrying out air strikes on Islamic State insurgents should widen its scope to include all other militant groups that were tarnishing Islam.

...Cairo's ancient Al Azhar is one of the world's most venerable centers of Islamic learning and the grand sheikh is considered to be among the most pre-eminent authorities in Sunni Islam, influencing the views of Muslims worldwide.

"I ask myself... day and night," Tayeb said, "about the reasons for this Arab ordeal and this blind discord that is mixed with the smell of blood and death and explosions and the beheadings of people and the expulsion of millions with a brutality that is unknown in history. These barbaric and awful crimes are sullying this religion."

Islam is what Muslims believe it is, While Al Azhar is horrified by what he believes is Haram under Islam there are millions of Muslims who believe that ISIS' interpretation and even celebrate the utter brutality of this interpretation. The problem is not what Al Azhar believes, its that so many believe from reading the exact same Koran Hadith he does that butchery and murder are condoned by Islam.

Ishallahshaheed's Last Note to Mommy

The blessed release of the very last words of Samir Khan.

samirmommy.png

Cry baby cry, make your mother sigh.

I still remember those nights when I first arrived in Yemen. I was weeping profusely because I literally had left everything and was embarking upon a new chapter in my life, in hopes that my past sins would be erased
Samir sins remain it was he who was erased ;-)

And one last note to mommy.

Please excuse me, O love of my life.
You have always been a mother of mercy.
Forgive me for the errors of my days,
And pardon me for that phase.
I know that I have wounded your heart,
Since I frequently experience the same dart.
But Paradise is calling me to conquer my fears
Thus I flew across the sea leaving you in tears…
Please excuse me, and don’t say
That I separated myself from you to play.
How is it that I separated my soul
From the one who kept me from the cold?
How is it that I make you cry,
When you are the one most precious to my soul and eye?
You are more precious than the day which my heart loves
As the thought of you gathers the most beautiful doves.
If you knew all the facts
You would certainly relax.
So lend me your compassion,
As I explain myself in succinct words of expression.
Mother, the Muslim’s humiliation is called peace,
And the heedless Rulers have put the Ummah up for a lease.
Mother, the Regimes of Sabotage have gathered on our land,
Sinking our Ummah›s nobility to that of sand.
Mother, Palestine is the little child under the rubble,
And her grieving mother can only be heard in a bubble.
Mother, I can’t let this humiliation continue,
Allowing the disbelievers to rape our Nation in the holiest of venues.
The enemy will shout, yell and scream
But I will continue to let my heart beam
For I have put my worries behind my nation›s,
Preparing myself to leave all of life's stations,
Even if it means that I fight and die,
Without saying goodbye.
Mother I want to be above all of the strife,
So please excuse me, O love of my life.
LOL! What a vag.
