ISIS, terrorism, Islam and Arabs has reach new levels in 2015, its a real obsessions for lots of people and the majority of them are mixing everything up and are brainwashing themselves on social media.
The future is no super bright for 2016 on that topic.

I dont know how legit this is but it's hillarious.
El Chapo sends threatening message to terrorist group ISIS.
“You [ISIS] are not soldiers. You are nothing but lowly p*ssies. Your god cannot save you from the true terror that my men will levy at you if you continue to impact my operation.”
“My men will destroy you. The world is not yours to dictate. I pity the next son of a wh*re that tries to interfere with the business of the Sinaloa Cartel. I will have their heart and tongue torn from them.”

- why in hell would the gov't disclose this information to our enemies?scarabin
- you really have to wonder what's going on. All we hear is how "we can stop them...if we just do more!". Some people are making a killing here.formed
- to make us okay with increased spending?scarabin
- military-industrial complex, innit?face_melter
- Hum Bomb!jaylarson
- Are they winning or what? It looks like all this West bombing over there is totally useless and just à show. Fuck everything!Ben99
- who gives a fuck what they drop when it's your taxpayers dollars. am i right?lowimpakt
- the joke is people still believe isis isn't armed and trained by the west, all the evidence is laid bare but peeps still can't beleive itgeorgesIII
- honestly running out of ammo is almost as good as the bin laden excuse, yeah guys we killed him, mmmh'kay, just that we dumped him in the sea.. believe usgeorgesIII
- Makes no sense really, imagine if they went to war with a real country like Russia, with thousands x more targets_niko

The NY Times provided examples of how ISIS runs this operation inside its territory:
In a neighborhood in Mosul, Iraq, ISIS has transformed a police station into a market and charges vendors 2.8 million Iraqi dinars, or roughly $2,500, per year to rent a stall.
In ISIS' de facto capital of Raqqa, Syria, the "Office of Services" collects a "cleaning tax" of about 2,500 to 5,000 Syrian pounds, or about $7 to $14, from merchants.
ISIS also charges for utilities like water and electricity, and residents go to "collection points" to pay their bills. Those usually total about 800 Syrian pounds, or roughly $2.50, for electricity, and 400 pounds, or about $1.20, for water.
ISIS' "Office of Resources" controls the group's oil and smuggling operations, in addition to businesses like soft-drink plants, mobile-phone companies, textile and furniture workshops, and factories that produce chemicals, cement, and tiles.
ISIS also skims revenue from small businesses, demanding a cut of their profits.
ISIS charges an income tax of about 10%.
ISIS imposes fines and fees for services or infractions including car registration, college textbooks, traffic violations, and smoking.
- How capitalist of them. I can see why they hate us so much.monospaced
- So Daesh is a low tax zone?
Perhaps some American corporations might choose to set up their HQs there?detritus - 10% flat tax... a Ted Cruz wet dream!wagshaft
- I wonder if there's an abortion clinic there in that market, y'know, next to the free healthcare that comes from ISIS controlmonospaced
- ..because America has a great record on abortion clinics?detritus
- And your healthcare system's a mess from what I hear from over this side of the pond.
Stones and glass houses, and all that...detritus - no shitmonospaced
- I was being sarcastic, sorry. Joking about how ISIS might be actually running a decent society with all the things we struggle to implement. Bad joke, sorry.monospaced
- Ah, I thought you were taking my joke seriously and responding in kind.
American sarcasm's an odd fish.detritus

this is a good interview with a french journalist that was a hostage of daesh
- interesting, great insight from the inside, we've been hearing more and more of this_niko
- isis was hurt by exodus of muslims to nonbeliever lands in europe- made paris attacks to close the borders. <great pt.sarahfailin
- yep, death cult confirmed :(georgesIII

So two years ago Cameron asked for authority to bomb Assad which was voted down. Now he is asking for authority to bomb Assad's enemies.
When was the last time a country was so desperate to enter a war that they tried to use the pretext of fighting one side, then the other side when that didn't work?
- Less desperation than reactive cluelessness and a profound lack of strategy or consideration.detritus
- imho, 'the coalition' (including Russia) would be as well to just send in loads of their special forces units and decapitate ISIS. Bombing's just bluster.detritus
- Maybe it's simply about getting more NATO forces into Syria to counter Russia and Iran.yuekit
- yeah, shit is totally crazy, aren't the brits, french and UStian the reason those rebels are so well armed in the first placegeorgesIII
- They created the enemy they now want to bomb and demi-wits like the original noter think it's just 'reactive cluelessness'.
Kill me nowset - The birth of ISIS is traced back to US prisons in Iraq. Google that folks.dirtydesign
- I'd like to point out said original poster and many like him are obviously intelligent people with a bulbous-wit about them in many aspects I'm sure...set
- just sadly not this crucial one.set

The brits are debating joining the airstrikes against isis, question is, does bombing actually do anything? it seems that they have all moved underground in elaborate tunnels and bunkers and maybe the only people who are getting hit are innocent civilians who aren't trying to hide underground.
Just an excuse for western countries to prop up some military spending? Job creation for arms companies?
- Well, if it encourages the cunts to expend their energies digging rat holes instead of hoying gays off rooftops, that's a little something, eh?detritus
- (but sure - the British position at the moment is shadowing MeTooism by red-faced right wing armchair generals)detritus
- 'red-cheeked', evendetritus
- Bombing prevents them from building out infrastructure and accumulating military hardware. It doesn't fight the root of the problem but it sure helps a lot ifzarkonite
- Daesh isn't running around in tanks and has massive barracks, etc.zarkonite
- bombing fuels the fire at the "root" of the problem, for suremonospaced
- majority of the airstrikes results in civilian slaughter. just look at the results of american airstrikes - isis has not been weakened at all.dorf

- i like how the british say "america is arrogant" in an extremely arrogant way.robotron3k

Interesting article.
How West learned nothing on the war of terror.
We are repeating the same errors. ..
And again, thank you G. W. Bush. We're in this because of him.
- You are an idiot.Hayoth
- Obama took troops out of Iraq and Obama and Clinton sent weapons to Isis through beghngazi and overthrew Libya and egypt. And you still blame bush??? Mindless.Hayoth
- Bush fucked everything up and Obama enterered in Washington with a disaster to clean. He didn't managed to clean it.Ben99
- Many experts says it btw, not meBen99
- Without Bush we wouldn't have ISIS. Its a fact.Ben99
- Bush started it. Obama made it an even bigger mess by encouraging the destabilization in other countries (libya, egypt, syria, etc.)dorf
- bush made a mess. no one could clean it uphotroddy
- Why is this getting downvoted??
#benfalwasrightyuekit - Iraq was planned in the Wolfowitz Doctrines back in Bush Sr.'s reign, it goes back a long waysformed
- sadly, it seems to go on regardless of who's in power, makes you wonder who's really calling the shotsformed
- One way of looking at it is that the U.S. cares more about their geostrategic aims than the problem of terrorism, even though terrorism is what gets talkedyuekit
- about all the time by the media. Or maybe they are just incompetent and don't realize consequences of their actionsyuekit
- Thanks OBushMamoldero
- If Hayoth says you're an idiot, you must be on the right track ;)sarahfailin
