ISIS Brutality Paid Back By Mosul Victors As Jihadists Thrown Off Cliff
(the throwing off the cliff doesnt occur until the last 30 seconds of the video, so you could skip to that if you want)
Video showing execution of ISIS monsters by Iraqi soldiers labeled 'disturbing,' but . . .
I can’t condone this as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord, and that’s because He’s the one who has the right to exact it.
But I try to be nothing if not honest: I know I shouldn’t find this satisfying, but a very real part of me absolutely does. Who saw the videos of the beheadings, or of burning people alive, and didn’t quietly imagine doing the exact same thing to these beasts if given the opportunity? Not that you would, but you thought about it. And then again, maybe you absolutely would. These Iraqi soldiers got their chance, and they didn’t pass it up.
Disturbing? I guess people have to say that. I’m not sure that’s really how most people feel about this happening to the people it happened to.
It’s actually not as “disturbing” as it could have been had the quality of the video been better. You don’t see the first guy get thrown off the cliff, although you can clearly see him lying at the bottom while they pump him full of bullets. And the video cuts off just before they throw the struggling second guy off the cliff and then finish the job by shooting him as well.
The UN is said to be deeply disturbed about this, so perhaps Iraq can expect a strongly worded letter of condemnation, which it can perhaps throw off a cliff as well before continuing the work of retaking the rest of its country from these beasts.
One might object to these tactics on the basis of the Geneva Convention, while others would do so simply as a matter of human decency. The latter argument is more plausible than the first, since ISIS is not a signatory to the Geneva Convention and obviously doesn’t adhere to it in its own actions. Even the human decency argument won’t wash with a lot of people, since ISIS itself is so brutally evil that you could make the case its members have forfeited any claim to be members of the human race, or worthy of any consideration thereof.
Bloodlust is not a healthy thing, no matter how much one might believe someone deserved what they got. And these creeps obviously did.

What goes around comes around?
This is a different place in the world... Different, as meaning having a lot of different values than those we're used to.
While I'm sorry this doesn't follow the Geneva Convention rules, and I wish they could have done this legally-- you know, trial, THEN humane execution-- I don't know that I blame the Iraqis for doing it. Maybe throwing them off a cliff is what they need. Then again, vengeance begets vengeance. By making them martyrs, they may come back, even worse.
I honestly don't know.
However, in all honesty, I feel like YAY. They got what they deserved. Karma. Sometimes, we are allowed to witness it.
Why feel bad for these guys? They have to get to those 72 virgins somehow!
I imagine there are a lot of bad things going on over there.
They could just as easily shoot them at the top of the cliff as the bottom, but they wanted to instill terror and maximum pain in the ISIS. Is that form of revenge worth it? Their culture creates endless cycles of violence.
I watched the video that showed the pilot being paraded through the streets of where-ever, then put in a cage, soaked in gasoline, and set on fire. I can't even count all the beheading videos ISIS posted on line...from the 3-year-old little girl in the party dress, to the journalists and aid workers who never did a violent thing to anyone, ever. I saw piles of dead women and children who had been gassed, gutted, or beheaded. I've seen the parents of journalists beg for their child's life as instructed to by ISIS, and were then sent the video of their child's gruesome death. And remember Jihadi John? Tell me he wasn't smiling under that black hood as he grabbed countless men by the hair, and cut their heads off.
All I know is that I am quite incapable of killing someone...even in an act of revenge. And though I am a believer in due process, I don't think I could ever fault the families, friends and community members of ISIS victims the right to find closure as they see fit.
I can only agree!
I'm sure they asked themselves-
