The Youngest Syrian Hostage
Jihadists posted this photo this weekend of “our youngest hostage” in Kessab, a predominantly Christian town, in Syria.
Raymond Ibrahim reported, via Religion of Peace:According to Sham Times and other Arabic websites, jihadi social media networks posted the above picture of a child sitting on the ground while surrounded by armed men pointing their rifles at him. The caption appearing with the picture, purportedly posted by a supporter of the Free Syrian Army, is “Our youngest hostage from among the hostile sects of Kessab.”
Kessab is a predominantly Christian Armenian village in Syria near the Turkish border. Earlier it was invaded by jihadis, who terrorized, pillaged churches, and prompted some 2000 residents to flee. Initial reports had stated that about a dozen families remained as hostages.
God fuxked up........he created man .
Zit, I confess. I was in Google Image Search when I found it. What was I doing? Posting your image of the baby with the guns pointed at it, hoping to discover it was an offshoot of Pallywood, the fake pictures often used by the Jewhater sites. Unfortunately I found no proof. If I found any evidence at all it leads me to believe the girl in your photo watched her parents be murdered. Then they raped her and cut her heart out. Normal behavior for how islamists treat their enemies, babies included.
Brutal!
This is a killer pic here.
Should tear at any parent on the planet that cares about kids!

Here is a truth many will deny, and I will never say or believe this about all Muslims. I just wish they would rise up against this fundamentalist cancer, but for reasons beyond my grasp they don't. But here goes -- There are many different strains of jihadiism, so many that if they ever finish killing everyone else they will murder each other until one nutty group runs everything. But all of them have one thing in common, and that is barbarianism. To them the infidels are all the same. An old man in a wheelchair, a passenger on a plane, a spectator at a marathon, or a little child. To them our death isn't even enough. We must suffer. We must watch our loved ones killed in front of us. And then we must be tortured to death. To islamic radicals raping and killing the child in the photo, is akin to you dear reader swatting a fly on the windowsill.
For us the battle is long. We must not only murder all of them; we must also murder their ideology. In cooperation with the Yemeni government (not a civilly run power in and of itself) we massacred 65 of these mother fuckers over the weekend. We took out some really bad guys. It's a big victory, but also a small one. Islamic radicals have no play clock, and no rules. And it's up to the US (who else?) to see they never get a good night's sleep.

The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan confirmed Thursday that three American doctors -- including a reported father and son -- were killed by an Afghan security guard who opened fire at a Kabul hospital.
"With great sadness we confirm that three Americans were killed in the attack at CURE Hospital," said a statement posted on the Embassy's Twitter page. "No other information will be released at this time."
The shooting was the latest in a string of deadly attacks on foreign civilians in the Afghan capital this year.
Two of the dead Americans were a father and son, Minister of Health Soraya Dalil said, adding that the third American was a Cure International doctor who had worked for seven years in Kabul.
Dalil said an American nurse was also wounded in the attack.
"A child specialist doctor who was working in this hospital for the last seven years for the people of Afghanistan was killed and also two others who were here to meet him, and they were also American nationals, were killed," Dalil said. "The two visitors were father and son, and a woman who was also in the visiting group was wounded."
The attacker was a member of the Afghan Public Protection Force assigned to guard the hospital, according to District Police Chief Hafiz Khan. He said the man's motive was not yet clear.
The gunman was wounded and in custody. He was in surgery at midday in the same medical facility under heavy police guard, according to Kanishka Bektash Torkystani, a Ministry of Health spokesman.
"Five doctors had entered the compound of the hospital and were walking toward the building when the guard opened fire on them," Torkystani said. "Three foreign doctors were killed."
It was also unclear how the attacker was wounded.
According to its website, the Cure International Hospital was founded in 2005 by invitation of the Afghan Ministry of Health. It sees 37,000 patients a year, specializing in child and maternity health as well as general surgery. It is affiliated with the Christian charity Cure International, which operates in 29 countries with the motto "curing the sick and proclaiming the kingdom of God."
The attacker had emerged from surgery in the afternoon and was in recovery at Cure International before being questioned, Dalil added.
The Afghan capital has seen a spate of attacks on foreign civilians in 2014, a worrying new trend as the U.S.-led military coalition prepares to withdraw most troops by the end of the year.
It was unclear whether the Taliban were behind Thursday's shooting, though the insurgents have claimed several major attacks that killed foreign civilians this year, an escalation after years of mostly targeting foreign military personnel and Afghan security forces.
In January, a Taliban attack on a popular Kabul restaurant with suicide bombers and gunmen killed more than a dozen people, while in March gunmen slipped past security at an upscale hotel in the Afghan capital and killed several diners in its restaurant. Two foreign journalists were killed and another wounded in two separate attacks.
The hospital shooting is also the second "insider attack" by a member of Afghan security forces targeting foreign civilians this month.
On April 4, an Afghan police officer shot two Associated Press staff working in the eastern province of Khost, killing photographer Anja Niedringhaus and wounding veteran correspondent Kathy Gannon.

Islamabad (AsiaNews ) – A “clan” of four Muslim men raped a Christian girl of only seven years old, named Sara yesterday in the village of Mally ki, Daska, Sialkot district (Punjab) . The child is now in Sialkot hospital, in the intensive care unit in a “critical” condition according to doctors. Meanwhile, the police, instead of arresting the culprits, helped the local clan to kidnap the girl’s father; Iqbal Masih was taken and hidden in a secret place to “force the family not to report the story, to reach an agreement with the criminals and to avoid a dispute of a religious background”.
The Christian community has attempted every possible means to negotiate with police, with no success. The police seem reluctant to punish the rapists and free Masih, in the hands of the torturers who abused daughter.
Activists and human rights organizations demand justice and ensure their support for the family. Following repeated appeals and pressures, the judiciary has opened an investigation and ordered the arrest of two people involved in the rape; however so far there is no news of her father’s fate.
According to recent research, the cases of sexual abuse and violence – especially against young Christian girls – are on the rise in the province of Punjab, under the complicit silence of the police and the judicial authorities. Father John Arshad, a priest involved in the protection of minority rights, condemns the sexual assault on a girl of only seven years and the kidnapping of the parent, “to put pressure on the family not to report the crime”. The “silence” of civil society, he adds, heightens the drama of the story even more.
With a population of more than 180 million people (97 per cent Muslim), Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world, the second largest Muslim nation after Indonesia. About 80 per cent of Muslims are Sunni, whilst Shias are 20 per cent. Hindus are 1.85 per cent, followed by Christians (1.6 per cent) and Sikhs (0.04 per cent). Violence against ethnic and religious minorities is commonplace across the country, with Shia Muslims and Christians as the main target, with things getting worse. Dozens episodes , including targeted attacks against entire communities – such as in Gojra in 2009 or Joseph Colony Lahore last year – or abuses against individuals (Asia Bibi , Rimsha Masih or the young Robert Fanish Masih, who also died in his cell), are often perpetrated under the pretext of the blasphemy laws .

Deso Dogg was a Muslim rapper in Germany who kept threatening war against everyone.
“You are not going to live in safety. You employ millions and billions for the war against Islam. And that’s why this country is here, the Federal Republic of Germany, is a war zone.”
Also he was in love with blowing himself up.
“I light the bomb in the middle of the crowd, I press the button” Cuspert sings. “Right in the city centre or in the subway, press the button, al-Jannah, al-Jannah”
Cuspert repeatedly sings: “I long for for death and can not wait for it, armed with bombs and grenades”
The good news was that he didn’t have to wait for it very long. The bad news is that another Jihadi jumped the gun.Cuspert repeatedly sings: “I long for for death and can not wait for it, armed with bombs and grenades”
Or dropped the bomb.
Denis Mamadou Cuspert, who rapped under the name Deso Dogg but took on the name Abu Talha al-Almani in Syria, was reported to have been killed in a suicide attack Sunday in an eastern province.
He was a member of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and was reportedly killed in a double suicide bombing carried out by Al-Nusra Front, a rival jihadist group that is Al-Qaeda’s Syria affiliate.
Hilariously after spending so much time rapping about wanting to suicide bomb infidels, he got suicide bombed by his own Al Qaeda.

When Jerry Umanos finished his residency, he didn’t set up a private practice as a pediatrician or seek out a high-paying job. Instead, Umanos went to a new health center in Chicago that was focused on improving access to health care — and a place that couldn’t offer him as much money as other facilities.
“We didn’t have a lot of people knocking on our door to come work at the health center, and he did,” said Art Jones, the founding chief executive of Lawndale Christian Health Center.
That dedication to helping people in need was what led him to spend more than a quarter of a century at Lawndale and it is what brought him to Afghanistan nearly a decade ago.
Umanos was one of the three Americans killed Thursday when an Afghan security official opened fire at an American-run Christian hospital in Kabul. He was greeting two American visitors at the gate of the hospital when the gunman walked up to them and opened fire, The Post’s Tim Craig reports from Kabul. Umanos and both visitors were killed, while two others were wounded.
“This loss is a great loss for his family, for those of us he worked with as well as for the people of Afghanistan,” Bruce Rowell, the medical director of clinical quality at Lawndale Christian Health Center in Chicago, said during a news conference Thursday morning. ”He was a loving, caring physician who served all of his patients with the utmost respect.”
The people who work at the clinic “have lost a dear friend,” said James Brooks, a pastor and Lawndale’s chief ministry officer, at the news conference. ”Our clinic is grieving right now,” he said. “Our hearts are broken.”
Umanos “could have gone pretty much anywhere he wanted to go” after he finished his residency in Michigan, Jones said in an interview Thursday. But he wanted to find a way to have the greatest impact on people.
When Umanos initially came to Lawndale, Jones had to turn him down because the facility was operating on “a shoestring budget” and lacked the money to hire him. But Umanos was persistent and was willing to come work for the same salary he made as a resident.
Umanos was very well-liked by his patients and colleagues, said Jones, who added that Umanos was the pediatrician for Jones’s two children.
“The patients were first in his mind, and his life was sort of secondary to that,” he said.
Several years ago, Umanos visited a couple from the clinic that had gone to Afghanistan to help people with tuberculosis. And Umanos said that you could eventually find people to work in inner-city Chicago, “but there weren’t a lot of people willing to come work in Afghanistan,” Jones recalled.
So Umanos began spending the majority of the year in Afghanistan, coming back for a month or two to work at Lawndale and spend time with his family before returning, Jones said.
In Afghanistan, Umanos was not isolated from violence. He had gone to a popular Lebanese restaurant in Kabul multiple times before it was attacked by Taliban insurgents in January. And a dentist he lived near had been killed a few years earlier.
“He knew the dangers,” Jones said. “But he was really drawn to serving those kids.”
Umanos graduated from medical school at Wayne State University and had his residency at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, according to a biographical page that had been posted on Lawndale’s Web site.
“He was a great person, a great doctor,” Angie Schuitema, Umanos’s mother-in-law, told the Chicago Tribune. “It’s a great loss. He was doing what he wanted to do. He thanked God for allowing him to help people there.”
In addition to his work with Cure, Umanos had been the community health coordinator for Empowerment Health, a non-profit dedicated to improving the health of Afghan women and children, helping to form the group’s community healty programs.
Umanos had worked for years to develop training programs to give Afghan women better health education and skills, according to Evan A. Russell, co-founder of Empowerment Health.
“Our efforts in the community will continue on, and we remain deeply committed to the mission to which he devoted his life, but Jerry’s daily impact on this program, and on so many other people, will be missed forever,” Russell said in an e-mail to The Washington Post.
Cure International, which operates hospitals and programs in 29 countries, said no other patients or staff members were injured in Thursday’s shooting. The organization also said that Cure “remains committed to serving the Afghan people.”
