(CNN)An ISIS fighter has executed his own mother before a public audience, an expat Syrian rights group said.
The 20-year-old killed his mother in the Syrian city of Raqqa, ISIS' de facto capital, as hundreds looked on near the post office where she worked, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
ISIS had accused her of apostasy after her son turned her in, the activists said. She allegedly had been "inciting her son to leave the Islamic State." She wanted to escape with him and told him "that the coalition will kill all members of the organization."
The observatory reported that the victim was in her 40s. The activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently reported that she was 35.

(2,620 posts)These are YOUR words:
"they have no love for our being active there

simple "
The above can easily be rewritten to: "It's simple: I fight (and killed my mother) because AMERICA is active here"

(2,682 posts)I recently watched a documentary about the use of methamphetamines by Nazi soldiers believed to be a factor in the acts of cruelty as well as other problems resulting from drug use and lack of sleep. At the time I watched it, I wondered if there was some correlation to the acts of ISIS. If so, we should be making an effort to destroy the manufacturing and distribution of whatever drug they are taking.
Wikipedia article about Nazi drug use:
"Even though Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party rules stressed the importance of keeping fit by abstaining from drink and tobacco to keep the "Aryan race" strong and pure, his soldiers were taking chemicals to fight longer, harder and more recklessly. The German army distributed many millions of pills made from methamphetamine and a primarily cocaine-based stimulant to its front-line fighters, who were ordered to take them during battles. Medical authorities say the downside of the plan was that many soldiers became addicted to drugs and were of no use in any theatre of war...
"During World War II, drug use in the German military was widespread, and was encouraged by leadership amongst the ranks. The Nazis highly believed that altering the mindset of their population was necessary for them to perpetuate their core principles. In the military, they provided their soldiers with substantial amounts of mind-altering drugs, which they believed enhanced the soldiers' abilities to be ruthless killers, and their fighter pilots to be more daring. After it was first introduced into the market in 1938, Pervitin, a methamphetamine drug newly developed by the Berlin-based Temmler pharmaceutical company, quickly became a top seller among the German civilian population. The supposed wonder drug was brought to the attention of Otto Ranke, a military doctor and director of the Institute for General and Defense Physiology at Berlin's Academy of Military Medicine.[8] The effects of amphetamines are similar to those of the adrenaline produced by the body, triggering a heightened state of alert. In most people, the substance increases self-confidence, concentration and the willingness to take risks, while at the same time reducing sensitivity to pain, hunger and thirst, as well as reducing the need for sleep. In September 1939, Ranke tested the drug on 90 university students, and concluded that Pervitin could help the Nazi army win the war."

(13,889 posts)within the limits of necessity. ISIS doesn't present an existential threat right now but as civilized nations we can't allow this kind of shit to take root. I do not believe that if we just back off and leave these people be they'll just chill out and turn into peace-loving hippies. Yes, the US helped to create the problem, and that's one reason we have a responsiility to assist in helping clean upthe mess we made.
