Thread: Surely they jest?

I've seen some bullshit plastered over the news - but this is great - from The Mirror

"Evil terror boss"

"Surrounded by henchmen and rows of Kalashnikovs"

"Now seen as more powerful and feared even than al-Qaeda chiefs"


Now watch the video they're talking about



ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi breaks cover and tells followers 'we like killing our enemies' - Mirror Online



What a load of see-through bullshit propaganda

No different to that condell clown. Both a couple of twats that the world would be better off without with the only noticeable difference being that the guy in this video gets his funding from the USA Freedom for Syria campaign chest.

Oh and just to clear things up I am in no way Islamophobic just Islamonauseous. As in sick of hearing these people whine and whinge on about everything upsetting them and how we should all respect their religion.

dramatic video - Dramatic? They've been watching too much Eastenders!

climbing stairs to a balcony - It's the pulpit (minbar) in a mosque.

Surrounded by henchmen and rows of Kalashnikovs - Invisible ones? He's standing alone on the pulpit and I doidn't notice any Kalashnikovs. Can someone post the time on the video when the Kalashnikovs appear, please?

al-Baghdadi’s eyes appeared lifeless - Maybe he was trying to make it look less dramatic!

"By the end of the week, we soon realised that we had to do some accounting for them," said the official flippantly. "Before Mosul, their total cash and assets were $875m [£515m]. Afterwards, with the money they robbed from banks and the value of the military supplies they looted, they could add another $1.5bn to that."

Follow the money.. always follow the money.

So who is backing ISIS ?

"Günter Meyer is Director of the Center for Research into the Arabic World at the University of Mainz. Meyer says he has no doubt about where ISIS gets its funding. "The most important source of ISIS financing to date has been support coming out of the Gulf states, primarily Saudi Arabia but also Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates," Meyer told Deutsche Welle. The Gulf states' motivation in financing groups like ISIS was to support their fight against the regime of President Bashar al Assad in Syria, according to Meyer. Three quarters of the Syrian population are Sunni Muslims, but Syria is ruled by an elite drawn mostly from the Alawite minority. The Alawites are an offshoot of Shiite Islam."

The GCC funding is primarily in revenge for all the wealth Iran spreads trying to destabilise the monarchies.
