ISIS has killed at least 128 civilians of one small Syrian town over the last three weeks in what observers are saying is an act of vicious revenge.
The terrorists accused residents of working with Bashar Assad’s regime forces.
The bodies of the dead were dumped in a pit in al-Qaryatayn, a locale in the central Homs province of Syria.

The Islamic State (ISIS) killed at least 128 people in a Syrian town deep inside territory controlled by the Assad regime, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Monday.
According to reports, dozens of locals were shot or stabbed to death during the three-week-long massacre, with their bodies dumped in a pit in al-Qaryatayn, a town in Syria’s central Homs province. Government forces have since retaken the area.The majority of people were reportedly killed on suspicion of “communication and espionage in favor of the regime forces.”
“After the regime retook it (on Saturday), the town’s residents found the bodies on the streets. They had been shot dead or executed with knives,” SOHR’s Abdel Rahman said. “Most of the ISIS fighters who attacked the town a month ago were sleeper cells. … They are from the town, know the town’s residents and who is for or against the regime.”
“The majority of those killed were executed in the last two days before ISIS lost the town again,” he added.
Reuters confirmed at least 60 of the civilian killings, adding that “dozens” of residents remained missing. “More than 60 were dead, while more than 100 others are missing, either kidnapped or killed,” Homs Governor Talal Barazi told the news organization.
While the attack was unexpected and a relative success for the caliphate, the Islamic State continues to weaken amid losses of territory and a collapse in finances, with analysts now saying the caliphate has reverted from a terror state back into a terrorist organization.
The Syrian Arab Army (SAA)—led by its commander-in-chief, dictator Bashar al-Assad—remains one of the many factions attempting to drive ISIS out of the Middle East, alongside the Free Syrian Army and the U.S.-led coalition.
Last month, Syrian government successfully surmounted an ISIS siege on Deir Ezzor, a town in Eastern Syria, and are close to retaking the region entirely.
Meanwhile, the U.S.-led coalition last week celebrated the defeat of ISIS in the Syrian city of Raqqa, while forces in the Philippines also expelled the terror group from their stronghold of Marawi. Islamic State “caliph” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had declared Raqqa the capital of the terrorist state in 2014.

And ISIS claims they’re fighting for Muslims?? ISIS doesn’t fight for anyone except themselves. They have no problem killing innocent men, women, and children, or raping them, or forcing kids to become fighters. It’s all so they can feel powerful, so they can feel like the judges of the world.
ISIS claims they’re fighting for God, but no god would advocate murdering innocent people. They say they’re trying to force the world to convert, but if God didn’t want people to be different religions, why would he have made us so?
A person’s religious beliefs are between them and God, no one else’s business–as long as the beliefs don’t violate another person’s rights. ISIS members have no right to butt in to other people’s beliefs, let alone murder them for their beliefs.
I hope the people who have been trapped for so long under ISIS will recover their lives. And that the rest of the world is able to defend themselves against attacks.
The Jews in Israel, the women and children in Europe, the people of Raqqa and Mosul who were oppressed, the Yazidis, the American soldiers and civilians….we need to remember that we’re all targets of such inhuman groups, and we need to stand together.
All decent people need to unite to hold back the tide of hate and genocide coming from jihadists, hate groups, and everyone else who wants to harm innocents. We’re all in this together.

They fight for what all Muslims fight. To rob, cheat, lie, steal, rape and…..get away with it.
About one thing, ISIS is absolutely right when they say, all THAT is Islam and Islam is a religion OF WAR.

This is what the Koran commands them to do.
Isis are following Islam in the way that mohaMad specified.
The other Muslims of this world are blindly following a watered down version until one of them decides to go fundaMental which happens all to often and then it’s killing Time.

TV News contributor Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters is absolutely right when he says: “The only way to deal with jihadist sociopaths is to destroy them.” They are a cancer on the Earth, and we are not disinfecting our planet fast enough.
