| Terrorists only use Saudis as cannon fodder |

| [ARABNEWS] The 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.... terror group is beset with deep-rooted conflicts, said Manie Al-Manie, a former member of the organization who is back in the Kingdom. "Sectarian and racist conflicts prevail among its members," he told news hounds. He said many of them ill-treated Saudis because they were the most knowledgeable on Shariah regulations. IS leaders sent Saudis on suicide missions to finish them off, he said while explaining his difficult days under the IS rule. Al-Manie said he had seen some members rejecting the orders of leaders while some others were not ready to obey the leadership. "I noticed they clearly targeted the Saudis by calling them backward and Bedouin," he said. "IS has no system. It's a bunch of groups who work to pursue their vested interests. There is no coordination among them," he added. Al-Manie said children were forced to carry out suicide operations against their will and that of their parents. "They exploit the situation of people and the murderous Moslem ideology to kill innocent people." He said many IS recruits were not happy with killings and other terrorist operations. "Many members are looking for a chance to leave the organization forever," he pointed out. He said there is confusion in the organization, especially in matters about Shariah. "Their conscience doesn't prick when they kill the innocent. They murder men and women without making sure the charges against them." Al-Manie made these comments while participating in a talk show on Saudi Channel One. "Killing has become a kind of disease among the IS bad boys. They consider their opponents infidels and apostates who deserve capital punishment. Some of them have even killed their own colleagues," he said. Saudi bloggers have urged authorities not to show any leniency toward Al-Manie, adding that it would encourage other Saudis to join the group. Al-Manie had rejected his allegiance to the Saudi leadership and pledged allegiance to the IS leadership. |

| #4 Basically, ISIS uses all of their combatants as cannon fodder. Not exactly. The "Chechens", i.e., the Russian-speakers, are based in Syria and often used as shock troops against other rebel groups, as well as enforcers attached to regular IS units. There are also other groups that are handled differently due to alliances and other considerations. |

| #3 Every day I read about ISIS and I'm reminded of the Dark Fantasy novel DARK CRUSADE by Karl Edward Wagner. Great book, lets just hope the bad guys don't end up with a competant general leading the rabble. |

| #2 ISIS uses anyone it can get its hands on, as cannon fodder. Its victims don't have to be opponents, they can just as well be IS volunteers. It operates more like a sausage grinder than anything else. |

| #1 Basically, ISIS uses all of their combatants as cannon fodder. I wonder what happened to the good old fire and maneuver/base of fire, maneuver, base of fire, maneuver etc., we were taught at Benning. |
