Chitchat Muslim Freedom Fighters Use Hamas Tactic of Human Shields To Escape Siege!

AIN ISSA, SYRIA (Reuters) - A group of Islamic State fighters evacuated the Syrian city of Raqqa overnight, taking civilians with them as human shields, a militia spokesman told Reuters on Sunday.

The U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias, continued to battle Islamic State jihadists who remain in the city, SDF spokesman Mostafa Bali said.

"Last night, the final batch of fighters (who agreed to leave) left the city," said Bali.

Bali said no foreign fighters had left in the convoy, but an official in the Raqqa Civilian Council, set up by the SDF and its allies to oversee the running of the city, said a group of them had departed with the others.

The official, Omar Alloush, would not say how many militants remained in the city, where the SDF has hemmed them into a small enclave.

Bali added that the Islamic State fighters refused to release the civilians once they left the city as agreed, but wanted the civilians to remain with them until their destination to guarantee their own safety.

On Saturday Alloush said the jihadists would be taking some 400 civilians with them as human shields.

The fall of Raqqa is a milestone in the battle to defeat a group that seized swathes of Syria and Iraq in 2014, declared a new caliphate, carried out attacks in the West and inspired horror with its bloody rule over those living under it.

Hunting season begun?

Hunting season begun?

If the Americans or Israelis fight using the same tactics as the jihadists or Burmese army, the war in the Middle East and Afghanistan would be over within a couple of months. The islamist groups will have nowhere to hide, nowhere to play their usual hide-and-seek games. Look at Myanmar and their scorch-earth policy. All the Bengali villages are burnt to the ground, all the villagers sent either across the border or corralled far away from the conflict zones. The muslim terrorist groups have nowhere to hide, nowhere to get supplies, manpower and intel from. The Brits used the same tactic with great effect against the commies during the insurgency.


Sometimes, people worry too much about social media trolls than about actually winning the war decisively. Unless they don't want to, because their military industry needs wars to provide more jobs and testing grounds for new weapons.

For a moment I thought the Israelis are more interested in getting all the Jews back into the promised land... hmm...

It's now about being able to stay in the promised land. For all the hoohah about Israeli brutality, the Israelis look like pussies compared to the savage burmese buddhists. We should get the Burmese step in and deal with the palestinian problem. They could put an end to this 70 year racial religious conflict within months, and Aung Juan Soon Chee could win herself yet another Nobel Peace prize.

Would there be some crusade and/or jihad around that small strip of land?

There's already some crusade going around in the universities. I understand that there's some student group called 'Crusade' or something.
