UN extends mandate for body investigating ISIS crimes
[Rudaw] The UN body investigating Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

On Friday, the UN Security Council voted to extend the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by by Dae’sh/ISIS (UNITAD)’s mandate until September 21, 2020. In a blurb on Friday, UNITAD said it is committed to helping Iraq persecute ISIS members.

"It continues its work to support domestic efforts to hold Dae’sh members accountable," said UNITAD, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS. The group is also sometimes called ISIS.

UNITAD was established in 2017 to help Iraq with the enormous task of prosecuting alleged ISIS members for their crimes.

#3 What use is it investigating and litigating against something like ISIS ? I don't even see the rationale in making arrests or incarcerating them. It's like a whole other species of beings, committed to inhumanity and what can only be described as demonic in any culture.

Principles of right and wrong, courts, the hague, human authority, the social contract mean jack shit to them. I believe the world's demise, if it were not destined at the hands of God, would have come at the hands of such.

Because of the 'educated' man's inability to appreciate the value of letting some parts of himself remain wild. And then it would have been worse.

#5 Of course. Somethings they do just right. It's a question of priorities.

On our unit badge in the military it said 'Balidaan' (sacrifice). The idea behind it was not the 'die for your country' silliness. It meant that for your country to be safe you were sacrificing your humanity and were prepared to out-villain the bad guys.
