And it's interesting, enlightening and a little bit scary (if anything because it shows they're clearly more than a bunch of sand-hut dwelling idiots)

Point #4 is quite interesting. They want the middle-east to be toppled, they want the US (or the west in general) to invade, so it can start WW3 in the correct area just as scriptures predict.

Also, the British journalist John Cantlie, who they currently have as prisoner, writes articles for them (presumably edited heavily - or maybe he's as honest as he can be without risking his own death) and has this to say about the current Western-led bombing campaign in Syria:

Quote:
"There was a heavy airstrike some time ago in the dead of night and I promise that you don't sit there thinking, 'Hurray, it's the United States Air Force.' As the doors shake on their hinges and the walls bulge momentarily inward from the shockwaves, you become incandescent with fury. For 20 minutes afterwards there are the sounds of babies crying in fear, mothers trying to soothe their children, and sirens as casualties are taken to hospital. It's a side to 'precision' bombing that you never see back in the West."


Another interesting point is that their funds may run dry sooner or later because they currently get money by robbing Iraqi banks, which won't last forever. Also, it seems ISIS is mostly full of uneducated morons because they're constantly putting out calls to recruit more doctors, mechanics and the likes. Ha. Just proves that it's only uneducated, unintelligent pillocks who tend to be enticed by the ISIS propaganda.

And they have about 2300 American humvees, amongst other vehicles and weapons, which were originally given to the Iraqi military. Plus lots of stashes of all this stuff.

Interesting stuff, I reckon.

When you meet educated people from the middle east you learn quickly that there are some clever people among them.

Intelligence is fuck all to do with religion and education. Wink

In general I find the educated are the ones who have a Dad high up in the party or wealthy.

You obviously didn't read Nexus Icon's excellent post on page 4 of the "Paris under siege" thread. Read it NOW!

Here's a reasonably long, but very interesting, read that clarifies what the ISIS long game is, how they've managed to grow, why they're "true" Muslims, why they don't get on with Al Qaeda and what may eventually be their undoing.

It's worth half an hour of your time.

Wasn't John Cantlie editor of Superbike Magazine back in its 90's heyday, known as Sonic?

Funnily enough, I've often wondered what it is that IS actually want. What is it that drives them to such lengths to get attention. Similarly, what is it in people's lives that makes them decide that going on a jihadi mission is something worth doing. That article was an interesting read.

I'm a bit worried about that chap. He hasn't made any noise recently, and given what fate usually befalls their captives, it's hard to keep optimistic about his chances.

It reads a bit like something from Jehovas Witnesses.

But the most surprising thing I learned about ISIS during my reading is that the primary target of their hatred is not the United States. It's not France or Russia, either. The one "enemy" they devote more time to ranting against than anyone else is the "apostate Muslim." The vast majority of people ISIS kills are Muslims. They use one slur in particular -- "Safawi" -- to refer to Shiite Muslims. That word is a play on the name of the Safavid dynasty, which ruled Persia in the 15-17th centuries and which you almost certainly haven't heard of even though soldiers for the most notoriously evil organization in the world use it as a curse every day.


Been telling this to people for ages. ISIS are focussed on the internal enemy - removing shia. They don't care that much at all about the external enemy (the west) for the time being.

I thought that ISIS was heavily built from the old Iraqi Republican Guard, they are predominantly Sunni. This might explain how they were able to capture American military hardware and seem quite proficient at using it.
The CIA may or may not have instigated, but for a long time did seem happy they had a rebel army, well equipped and trained, to take on Assad in Syria. One example might be for so long why they appeared to allow ISIS the $500 million pa oil trafficking to continue.

Russia's interjection seems to have forced the USA's hand, coupled with the Paris shootings, America has finally joined the bombing of these tankers.
And guess what, inside of a few weeks it was all blown to shit. Funny it couldn't have been done 18mths ago...

I'm just repeating stuff I read on the interwebs, no idea if there is any truth to it. It's so batshit crazy, I'm inclined to believe it.

They may well have captured a great deal of hardware. But with no support from industry, most of the more advanced kit won't last very long before it breaks down.
