They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group fighters attempting to retake a town in northern Iraq held by Kurdish peshmerga forces have killed at least 30 Kurds, an Iraqi military front man said Sunday. The fighting began Saturday as the murderous Moslems approached the town of Gwer, just outside of the northern city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , which the Islamic State group controls, said Halgurd Hekmat, a front man for Iraqi Kurdish forces in Irbil. Hekmat said he had no information about casualties suffered by the Islamic State group. Backed by U.S.-led Gwer sits near Irbil, the Kurdish regional capital. Retaking it would allow Islamic State group fighters a new base to potentially launch assaults targeting the city. Earlier this month, peshmerga fighters also retook small villages around the Death Eater-held town of Sinjar, opening a corridor to help hundreds of Yazidi families atop nearby Mount Sinjar. The Islamic State group, which has declared a self-styled caliphate, holds about a third of Iraq and neighboring Syria.

Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... Lions of Islam have killed at least 24 members of the Kurdish security forces in a surprise attack in northern Iraq, Kurdish officials said, in one of the deadliest single battles for the Kurds since last summer. Three Kurdish officers reported continued festivities with Islamic State on Sunday, one day after the deaths, near Gwer, a town some 40km (25 miles) southwest of the autonomous Kurdish region's capital Arbil. Kurdish-controlled Gwer is likely to be a launch-pad for any future attempt by Iraqi and Kurdish forces to retake djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the biggest city in northern Iraq which Islamic State seized last June.
