Davy51 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Seeing that so called Islamic State are being corralled into a diminishing corner of Mosul & lawyer Mrs G.Clooney is talking about Human Rights prosecutions against ISIS ,can we assume that the shelf life of these fanatics is within sight ? It seems to me that UN inaction on this matter for over 5 years is inexcusable,especially in terms of allowing such a refugee crisis to develop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 UN :-prefix. a prefix meaning “not,” freely used as an English formative, giving negative or opposite force in adjectives and their derivative adverbs and nouns ( unfair; unfairly; unfairness; unfelt; unseen; unfitting; unformed; unheard-of; un-get-at-able), and less freely used in certain other nouns ( unrest; unemployment). Says it all really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 If we assume ISIS morphed out of Al Quaida, which morphed out of the US funded and equipped Muja Hadin fighting the Russians in Afghanistan; we could argue that cold war proxy wars have created this monster; but its been around since Muhammad, when the religion was forced on the M/East and N/Africa by violence. When the current Khalifate is extinguished, the rats will disperse throughout the globe to continue their Jihad; so I doubt anyone living today will see the end of it.

Davy51 Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yes ISIS is an idea ,but unless what is basically an ambulance chasing lawyer thinks there is something tangible or physical to bring a case against they won't get involved.

observer Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Mzz Clooney is merely chasing the publicity, as the notion that you can impose an ethos of respect for Western liberal human rights values on a cult that lives in the barbarity of the 7th century, is farcical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 "It's been around since Muhammad" but only rears it's head periodically, by those who find it useful decide to stir up hatred for their own ends and means. So when will the current uprising end -- when the US / Israeli partnership have achieved their goals of ethnic cleansing in Syria & created a greater Israel?

observer Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Think perhaps it's ISIS that has found it usefull to "stir up hatred", and play on the weakness of decadent Western liberalism. Frankly don't know how you've brought the Jews into Syria, as they're busy taking over the rest of "the land promised to them by God" !
