Tourism To ISIS? The Caliphate Wants Your Business
“The Islamic State’s propaganda effort is shifting gear—and dramatically softening in tone. The militant organization released another video over the weekend narrated by British captive John Cantlie. In the video, Cantlie strolls the streets of ISIS-controlled Mosul, Iraq, showing how placid, how peaceful the place has become. It’s a far cry from the videos of beheadings and military operations that the ISIS media machine used to make its name.
To kick-start the 2015 campaign, the terror group began publishing a photography series highlighting the beauty of natural landscapes and “normal life” in ISIS-controlled territory.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

They also want our heads as well. Liberals are to busy worrying about Koch
Brothers and Businesses using Tax Loop Holes but they ignore the people who
are chopping of our heads and turning girls into sex slaves. But again,
those are just Liberal Standards at the end of the day.

isis and saudi arabia are the most similar “states”. the only thing saudis
dont do, is genocide of yizidis. they both behead people and saudis funded
them againts syria. and the us says the saudi aren’t sponsor of terrorism.

The peace they’ve established has been and continues to be generated by
fear. What good is peace if people aren’t happy and are in constant fear
that they’re going to be murdered or maimed merely for breathing the wrong
way? The average subject of ISIS’s rule must be a nervous wreck on the
inside.

the white devil just like 911 and all the wars peace can only be found in

Two years ago when the Assad govt was “killing” it’s own people, America
was crying we should arm the rebels…
Or guess what the rebels became ISIS… Same thing with Bin laden Al Queda
was financed by the CIA in the 1990s
All these monstrosities are your fault,you never learn do you? Innocent
people die by your direct and indirect actions.

The wise words of Admiral Ackbar echo through my head when I contemplate
that particular vacation.

Why are ISIS allowed to spread their propaganda on twitter? Does twitter
endorse terrorism?

zionists, corruption, rigd.phony elections, or that isis is being armed by
our goverment, WMD’s, etc outing of our own agents ?? or the murder of our
own top antiterrorists experts ????

They are probably targeting Western well to do Muslims with this, not the
average Joe. But Im under the impression that most Western Muslims are as
terrified of ISIS as the rest of us.
January 17, 2015 @ 4:35 pm
Anyone want to infiltrate ISIS with me and visit the sights?
January 17, 2015 @ 5:34 pm
They’re going to get one legitimate tourist and fifty spooks. “Hey
Hassan. Ever sense those guys with the funny accents and poorly groomed
beards showed up; the drone strikes have gotten much more accurate. Do you
think there’s a connection?”
January 17, 2015 @ 5:59 pm
I’d actually love to visit places like Mosul, Fallujah, or the Syrian
desert – assuming of course it’s no longer an active war zone and terrorist
groups like the IS are gone.

This beyond absurd indeed, it’s obvious we all know what they’re really
are. And no, non sense conspiracy theories can turn the blame on the west,
the necessary evil, it doesn’t really matter anyway. Americans aren’t the
ones committing genocide of ethnic groups in Syria and Iraq. Let’s just
have a million man NATO ground force to do a full scale invasion of these
barbaric cunts’ so called “holy lands” and show them a real fucking war. If
they start beheading people, we’re gonna start torturing and killing more
jihadi sympathizers one by one. Whether it’s in Europe or in that special
prison in Cuba. Even countries like Russia who have a bone to pick with the
west are all ganging up against a common enemy, almost all the nations in
the world are behind this war against these bloody savages, we’ll wipe them
all out. ALL OF THEM. We’re the necessary evil and it’s our job to destroy
the same evil we all despise, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Houram, and all these
animals.

To keenan peck fuck you and your facist views.america starts shits with
others countries and tries to force there so called bullshit democrary
views down there throats.

It only sounds absurd if you fail to understand what ISIS is. ISIS is NOT a
terrorist organisation. There are no terrorist organisations with 20 000
men. ISIS is the paramilitary force of an unrecognised state. Even though
“state” is the second word in their acronym, no one thinks of them that way
because those with the mic are busy bombarding you with terrorism
propaganda so that you shit your pants and blindly allow them to pursue
their agendas. Are beheadings bad? Certainly. But the idea that that is the
only thing that occurs in the land controlled by ISIS is ludicrous. There’s
this notion that they are lawless. But everything said of them points to
their devout implementation of Sharia law. While Sharia is distasteful to
Westerners, it is a system of law. Doesn’t help that they’re a totalitarian
state on top of everything, oh, and the bombing campaign certainly makes
seeing the sites tough, but make no mistake, while they are not recognised
as one, ISIS, de facto, is the ruling party of a country. So why wouldn’t a
totalitarian state want tourist dollars? Cuba, Saudi Arabia, China, all
totalitarian states, all flush with tourism dollars. Beheadings are bad,
m’kay, but grow the fuck up. That is not the sum total quality of ISIS.
They don’t wake up in the morning, behead people and then go to bed. That’s
some bogeyman fairytale imaginary bullshit right there and you’re a chump
if you buy it. It is way more complex than that. So dismiss them as
terrorist barbarian beheaders if you like, but you’re missing the point by
a fucking mile.
