ISIS’s Gruesome Muslim Death Toll -- Dean Obeidallah, Daily Beast
The group’s killing of Westerners gets attention. But ISIS has killed far more Muslims, and publicizing that fact would harm it more.
Last Thursday, the United Nations released a report that could provide us with one of the keys to defeating ISIS. Unfortunately, it received almost zero media attention.
What makes this 26-page report (PDF) so powerful is that it describes to us the gruesome circumstances in which ISIS has killed fellow Muslims. We are talking beheadings, killing of women for objecting to ISIS’ policies, and executing Sunni Muslim clerics for refusing to swear allegiance to ISIS.
Why is this important? This information can hopefully help dissuade other Muslims from joining or financially supporting ISIS. And it may even persuade other Muslim countries to join or increase their efforts in fighting ISIS. The reason being that slaughtering fellow Muslims is seen as universally wrong across the Muslim world and as a violation of Islamic values. In fact, Al Qaeda has even publicly criticized ISIS for this very conduct.

My Comment: And the prediction is that the slaughter is only going to escalate .... UN warns of pending 'massacres' as ISIS closes in on Syrian city (FOX News).
The U.N.'s report on the Islamic State's brutality of Muslims is here.

The fact that these people are trumpeting an Al Qaeda action as a moral lodestone to pin hopes on, speaks volumes to how barren their world view has become.
This ISIS stuff is completely normal.
You see it all the time.
- China under Mao was like this
- USSR under Stalin
- North Korea under its' oligarchy
- Cambodia under Pol Pot
- Germany under Hitler and NDSAP.
I rest my case. this is normal behaviour. It is a matter of how many battles the above won versus how many battles other people won.
If you do not punch back against an aggressor, a significant percentage of them will do exactly this especially if they have a cause, political or religious.
If I can very the quotes and the statistics from this book, "Mao: The Unknown Story", i will conclude that ISIS behaviour is normal.
I will not say it is morally good, but I will say it is normal.
"This ISIS stuff is completely normal." yes it is Aizino. It's these people who refuse to see reality and hence are followers of "it is better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven".
