    I had to get permission from the military authorities to visit Qodjhanis, a decaying Nestorian Church in rugged and volatile SE Turkey. In disuse since the Assyrian population was massacred in the 1840s. Only this gentle cat, who seemed profoundly wise, was around to receive me.

    For some unknown reasons, the UK believes radicalization is a Syrian or Iraqi problem. When we first gained access to satellite channels after 2003 we heard some of the most extreme, intolerant, radical rhetoric coming from Imams in London, not Mosul or Raqqa.

    People are sharing photos of the ISIS wives with their children for the past couple of days yet none of them cared to share photos of the women who’s husbands, sons and fathers were killed by ISIS. These are the wives and children of the Coptic Christians beheaded by ISIS.

    Why is the culpability and legal accountability of foreign ISIS members who came to do terrible things in Syria and Iraq being discussed only in terms of their countries of origin? Why is that the reference point, instead of the countries whose people they murdered and abused?

    They are caretakers of ISIS nucleus family, they are raisers of next ISIS generation and enablers to their ISIS fighter husbands. Think about it.

    Wives of ISIS fighters, in a sense, are a lot more important to how society of ISIS run than your average ISIS fighter, something a lpt of people seems missing.

    “allegedly” killed? ALLEGEDLY? The Assyrians of Simele were massacred by Muslims and these are NOT allegations. To hell with your thoughts. How would you feel if we say “The Kurds who were allegedly massacred in Halabja”? Bet that’d severely piss you off.

    Baghuz today. It's standard for SDF troops to tag their unit names on buildings to show they've been cleared, but now they're at the end of a six-year existential war, the mood is obviously lighter...

    Ignoring for a second this person whom most people have a very suitably low opinion of, the problem of extremist Sunni narratives of Shia is a real and present danger even to non-Shia apparently.

    She is part of a group that did genocided, & sold as sex-slaves "non-white" ethno-religious indigenous groups. Do they not deserve justice just because the perpetrators are "western". Do the actual victims not deserve to be heard? How about you side with Eastern native victims.
