Report: Syrian Christian beheads ISIS fighter in revenge killing
« on: May 30, 2015, 06:56:33 am »
A Christian rebel in Syria has reportedly beheaded an ISIS militant in revenge of those "executed" by the group in northeastern Syria, AFP reported Friday, quoting a local monitor group.

According to AFP, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the beheading as taking place this Thursday in the Syrian province of Hasakeh – an area largely under ISIS control.

According to the report, a fighter from the Assyrian community stumbled upon the ISIS jihadist in the village of Tal Shamiram and then "took him prisoner."

According to observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman, "the Assyrian fighter (then) beheaded him in revenge for abuses committed by the group in the region."

The fighter was part of a Kurdish offensive attempting to push ISIS out of Assyrian villages in the Hasakeh area.

The Observatory tracks the conflict using a network of sources on all sides of the civil war which spiraled as security forces used violence to suppress protests against President Bashar al-Assad's rule in 2011.

Well, I'm glad they killed him, but this beheading stuff has got to go......

Don't like it much, but it is understandable. Returning a small portion of terror for what the scum cause is not nice, but is just in my book.

I recall reading something about Americans distaste for beheading while around the rest of the world it's not all that big a deal.  They think of it as more humane.  Maybe we aren't properly cultured.

Somehow the torture that always precedes the beheading mitigates the cultured aspect of removing one's head...

It may be "more humane" with a guillotine, but not 'sawing' it off with a knife or machete.    :whistle:
