| War is heck: Hajj pilgrims in limbo can’t wait to return to ISIS-held Mosul |
| 2015-10-19 |
| [Rudaw] It's a recent day at a mosque in Kirkuk and Hajji Jamal, 62, is sitting down dejectedly next to his old friend Abdullah. The men both look tired and angry, exposing the urgent and counter-intuitive problem they face: how to find the fastest way back inside the ISIS-held city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... The problem started nearly two months ago, when the so-called 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.... (ISIS) belied its fearsome reputation for cruelty and allowed some 600 Mosul residents, all men and women above the age of 60, to take part in the annual Hajj pilgrimage to the sacred Muslim city of Mecca in Soddy Arabia |
