In Just One Tweet, The Islamic Militants Who Are Taking Over Iraq Reveal How Barbaric They Really Are

Editor’s Note: This story contains graphic content that will be disturbing to some readers.
Radical Islamic militants in Iraq reportedly tweeted a picture of a Sunni police chief’s severed head and made a disturbing “joke” about using it as a soccer ball.
“This is our ball…it is made of skin #WorldCup,” the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria group allegedly wrote.
By using the popular hashtag, it increased the likelihood that more people would see the gruesome photo.
The Twitter account was shut down after the graphic tweet.
Again, the following image is graphic.
In a horrifying propaganda video, the terrorists are shown storming the Sunni police chief’s home at night before blindfolding him and beheading him with a huge knife. It wasn’t immediately clear when the video was taken.
Fighters from the al-Qaeda-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant made fresh gains, driving government forces at least temporarily from two towns in an ethnically mixed province northeast of Baghdad. The assault threatens to embroil Iraq more deeply in a wider regional conflict feeding off the chaos caused by the civil war in neighboring Syria.
In Geneva, U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay warned of “murder of all kinds” and other war crimes in Iraq, and said the number killed in recent days may run into the hundreds, while the wounded could approach 1,000.
Pillay said her office has received reports that militants rounded up and killed Iraqi army soldiers as well as 17 civilians in a single street in Mosul. However, the rebels have made the unverified claim that they have killed over 1,700 Iraqi soldiers and police officers.
Obama did not specify what options he was considering, but he ruled out sending American troops back into combat in Iraq.
“We’re not going to allow ourselves to be dragged back into a situation in which, while we’re there we’re keeping a lid on things, and after enormous sacrifices by us, after we’re not there, people start acting in ways that are not conducive to the long-term stability and prosperity of the country,” Obama said on the South Lawn of the White House.
Administration officials said Obama is weighing airstrikes using drones or manned aircraft. Other short-term options include an increase in surveillance and intelligence-gathering. The U.S. also is likely to increase aid to Iraq, including funding, training and both lethal and non-lethal equipment.

And they celebrated 9/11.
They will never change - it's a diseased cult of evil.
In another report, one of the links, they explain that a murdered child,
was the fault of the Israeli military.
Trouble is, the terrorists actually murdered the child for propaganda reasons.
Bad things are coming, a lot of very serious trouble. Here, and over there.

I wonder if being woodpeckered is an extremist "sharia punishement"
There is no scientific, peer-reviewed study proving that they aren't
evolved from ancient woodpeckers...
***************************************************
From Wikipedia: Systematics and evolution[edit]The phylogeny has been updated according to new knowledge about convergence patterns and evolutionary history.[15][16] Most notably, the relationship of the picine genera has been largely clarified, and it was determined that the Antillean Piculet is a surviving offshoot of proto-woodpeckers.
The evolutionary history of this group is not well documented, but the known fossils allow some preliminary conclusions: the earliest known modern picids were piculet-like forms of the LateOligocene, about 25 million years ago (mya). By that time, however, the group was already present in the Americas and Europe, and it is hypothesized that they actually evolved much earlier, maybe as early as the Early Eocene (50 mya). The modern subfamilies appear to be rather young by comparison; until the mid-Miocene (10–15 mya), all picids seem to have been small or mid-sized birds similar to a mixture between a piculet and a wryneck. On the other hand, there exists a feather enclosed in fossil amber from the Dominican Republic, dated to about 25 mya, which seems to indicate that the Nesoctitinae were already a distinct lineage by then.[17]
Prehistoric representatives of the extant Picidae genera are treated in the genus articles. An enigmatic form based on a coracoid found in Pliocene deposits of New Providence, Bahamas, has been described as Bathoceleus hyphalus and probably also is a woodpecker.[18]

and with "clean" passports - they can send anyone back here to pick up where they left off....
I blame the do nothing approach of this president and his corrupt cabinet for what looks like
emboldening a real threat into and on our land.....

Exactly ! This do nothing, corrupt and irresponsible
loser president is just failing to lead in the world, letting
it the terrorists make huge, huge gains, while planning
for Obamao's stupid, stupid date that he would leave
Iraq.
they simply waited, and when the time was right, they
went for it.
Mike Rogers nailed it. if Obamao wasn't such a coward,
he staff his regime with Americans like Mike Rogers,
and listen to them.
