Somewhat old "news" but hearing more talk about Daesh using organ harvesting to fund itself.

Exclusive: Islamic State sanctioned organ harvesting in document taken in U.S. raid | Reuters

That's an older article. Some new talk about it, though, which makes me wonder "why now"?

Been really thinking deep about all of the Euro migrants,all coming to Europe,from a dozen countries,at approximately the same time,in the same month.Obama started the Arab Spring,Syria had a war,.....now that still leaves another 12 countries or so where nothing did happen.How did they all know to migrate from the Balkans,Kosovo,Pakistan,India,8 or 10 more countries in Africa and than the majority than ends up in Germany,France,Norway,and Sweden................did someone tell them when the launch date was?

Pakistan? India?

I double checked the thread title. Can you elaborate on the Daesh (ISIS) migrants from Pakistan and India? Or recent refugees from the Balkans and Kosovo.

I'm thinking that President Duterte will handle this in an effective manner. I hope he has the resources to do so, anyway.

Only 35 years? He should be hung for treason.

We just cannot accept the elephant in the room

I think this case is good for the justice system. It's good for the world to see that in this country, you get a trial by jury," Creizman said. "In the Islamic State, people accused of crimes don't get such fair treatment."

We had a bunch of little league games rained out last month. I think Daesh claimed responsibility for that, too.

I applaud your use of "Daesh." They hate it, so it should be used as often as possible.

Language is important to me. I like to think that every time Daesh is used instead of one of the other acronyms, a terrorist sprains an ankle. Or worse.

Raqqa: The desperate fight for Islamic State group's ?capital? - BBC News

"They slaughtered us," says one man, a local house painter. "They told us we were unbelievers, even though we are Muslims from birth, fasting and praying."
...
"We pray that God will have revenge against Islamic State," a woman says, clutching a small child. "Everything that's happened to us is because of them."

A woman in camouflage fatigues lies face-down on the ground and loads a heavy-calibre sniper rifle, loosing off rounds in the direction of the IS fire.
Among the Kurds, men and women fight alongside one another. The sniper's name is Delilah. She is 22 years old, and was studying to become a nurse. But it is here, on the front lines, that she seems to have found her true calling.
"When I hit my target and I kill the enemy I become very happy," she says, laughing in between bursts of heavy gunfire. "It boosts our morale and our power. We are protecting our friends and our people."
