Islam is worst religion.
Veryยฒsad
Those poor people ๐
NOT "hundreads of thousands", but rather "tens of thousands". Get your facts, even if they are only good estimates, straight.
Made is USA, US support for "rebels" in syria is the reason isis was able to take over 1/3 of iraq. This isis invasion of iraq is americas way of weakening malaki and his ties with iran,syria and gives more power to kurds.
GOD BLESS YOU MEN FOR GOING TO HELP. IM CRYING FOR PPL IVE NEVER KNOWN OF BEFORE ๐ THE WORLD THANKS YOU THE KIND PPL THAT IS. ISLAM I HATE U EVIL EVIL SHITS
If the Yazidis had oil to offer,ย then Britain and America will be in there like fly's round a cows backside!
Whatever it was, it seems clear that there is a reality painfully experienced by Muslims, and it is because they do not want to believe the stark reality and is that ISIS and Boko Haram and al-Qaeda are representing the true Islam, and is the Islam of the Prophet Mohammed in all its details and features .
This is realty of Islam …. It's really a big shame for some people how thinking that there are tolerance and equality between muslims and all the lot of world ( Infidels ) …. This scene making back to our memories, the 1400 years of killing by islam's roles (the Quran itself) .
These people are really brave to go to such danger area, risking their own life to safe as many as they can, I will pray for their own safety, and I pray that peace will retain in Iraq, even it seems impossible now, but everything is possible to God.
ISIS kills 2000 innocent people a day how about that?
They were rescued from your friends the headcutters
Reminds me of the evacuation of Stalingrad.
Rugman's on the same helicopter as John Irvine of ITV. Rugman says they were fired upon and they returned fire whereas Irvine said that the guy was just testing his weapon. Which is it?ย
What's the difference between Gaza and Iraqis innocent people? If you concern about innocent people you should first think about these terrorists because they kill anyone but the Israel response to the rackets.
Shame on America and UK who created the terrorists ISIS. It's out of control now and kill people like they killing flies.
