| Iraqi tribe says ready to form brigade to take revenge on Islamic State | |
| 2018-06-21 | |
...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.... murderous Moslems, who killed six of its rustics after kidnapping them in the Jazirah plain on Monday. In a message to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Wednesday, the Shammar tribe, one of Iraq’s largest Arab tribes with more than 1.5 million members, held Iraqi security forces "accountable for the protection of Iraqi civilians against Islamic State threats". It called on Abadi to open the door for a new batch of the tribe’s volunteers to join the Iraqi army to stand up to recurrent attacks of Islamic State in the Jazirah plain, where a host of Arab tribes are residing. The tribe further reiterated its unshakable stance to "stand in the face of injustice and defend the oppressed people, at any cost." | |
