ISIS Meets Its Match at an Iraqi Town When Christian Militia Shows Up to Teach Them Who’s Boss

A Christian militia has reclaimed a village in northern Iraq from ISIS terrorists.

USA Today reported on the story of a group of Christian fighters driving ISIS insurgents from the town of Bakufa.

The inhabitants of the predominantly Christian Bakufa formed a village militia, after fighting side-by-side with Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters to push ISIS from their hamlet.

The freshly recruited militia might be short on combat experience, but that’s not worrying them. As one of their members says:


In my opinion, faith is greater than military experience.

Where the black banner of ISIS once stood, the flag of the Iraqi Christian fighters now flies high over Bakufa.

It's about hot damn time!  Where do we send the arms?
Why?  Well, because I'm a bastard, that's why.

Don't get too excited, folks.

We're talking about a "town".  Not Baghdad.  Not Mosul.

The hamlet may only harbor less than a thousand people.  Think the size of Martha's Vineyard.

Sometimes it's the littlest kid who gets tired of bully's shit.  That's all it takes to get the ball rolling.

I agree, ONC.

All I was pointing out is that with the world being so small due to the 24/7 news cycle and internet, one little victory of sorts doesn't translate to ISIS being defeated or even slowed down.

Perhaps, EC can elaborate on this better, since he's been involved from time to time.

Its not the size of the dog in a fight that counts, its the size of the fight in the dog that makes the difference.  They had better watch out though, as their muslim "brothers" will cut their throats in a heartbeat once they have been saved.
