#ISIS #Syria #SOHR It is revealed that ISIS has killed nearly 2000 people in Syria during the past six months, the majority of them civilians. It has killed 1878 civilians plus 120 of its own members most of who are foreign fighters who wanted to leave and return home. This is for the period of the last two months, as per the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
These statistics depict the barbarism of the Islamic State jihadist group and has come to light through a report of a British-based Syrian monitoring organization.
It may be recalled that this jihadist group has taken vast parts of Iraq and Syria and declared a caliphate in territory under its control in June and, ever since then, it has been engaged in barbaric bloodshed and fought the Syrian and Iraqi governments, other insurgents and Kurdish forces.
The extent of atrocities perpetrated by Islamic State has been publicized by them through beheadings and stoning of people in areas that is controlled by it in Syria and Iraq. These are believed to be punishment for actions that, in its opinion, amounts of violation of its interpretation of Islamic law, such as adultery, homosexuality, stealing and blasphemy.
The group is an offshoot of al-Qaida and it has also released videos of executions of captured enemy fighters, activists and journalists. Some of these are two US journalists, and one American and two British aid workers - this is seen to be its attempts to put pressure on a US-led international coalition, which has been carrying out airstrikes in Syria since September.

2014 – The year of terrorism, bloodshed and violence

#bokoharam #crimea #ISIS #PakTaliban 2014 was a year of bloodshed, terrorism and violence from Syria to Ukraine and the atrocities of the ISIS in Iraq, the Boko Haram in Nigeria and the Pakistani Taliban in Pakistan.
While the civil population revolted against the authoritarian rule of its President Bashar al-Assad and the US and Russia took sides for and against President Assad, other countries were divided on which side to support. It became a daily war on the streets and loss of innocent lives with refugees spilling over to neighboring countries. Till the ISIS descended on the scene.
This was the new face of terror and its brutal methods sent shock waves throughout the world. In order to prove its intentions, it beheaded a number of American and British captives and sent across the videos. Then there were the atrocities committed on women with reports of them slaughtering the women en-masse if they refused to get converted to Islam or get married to members of the ISIS. Many women had been kept as sex slaves. As a result, the US and Europe began attacking ISIS hideouts and eliminating its leaders. The nature of bloodshed unleashed by the ISIS has no parallels in history.
The Boko-Haram in Nigeria is another dreaded terror setup - in April, it kidnapped a group of 250 schoolgirls from a school in Chibok. The girls are believed to have been kept prisoners in a jungle and, while a few of them have managed to escape, the fate of the others ae not known even after nine months. Unconfirmed reports have indicated that they might have been sold off as sex slaves. Recently, the terror group attacked a village and took away women and children as hostages after killing the men and burning down the village.
And, of course, the annexation of Crimea by Russia led to a fight with Ukraine in which Europe sided with Ukraine and imposed sanctions on Russia, it was a fight between the government forces of Ukraine against the pro-Russian supporters who had installed their own rule in Crimea and took over important towns. This fight has led to death of hundreds and thousands have been displaced from their homes.
