Thankfully I've not seen any of this video footage of beheading children etc and tbh I don't particularly want to see it but whoever these people are, they really are a nasty piece of work.
Who this group actually are though, who they represent, who they are supported by and how they've simply popped up recently I've no idea. I'd never heard of them a few weeks ago and they already seem to have grown and taken control of so much land.
About 5-6 years ago, I posted in here after reading some books and listened to some lectures by this Muslim sheikh from Trinidad - the books were written well over a decade ago now and the lectures were also fairly old but he said that soon the Middle East will be in complete turmoil with governments being overthrown and radical groups propping up, and it would ultimately lead to Israel being at the forefront of the resistance against this menace/threat that they will present to the rest of the world. Israel would do everything it could, like start bombing Gaza during the month of Ramadhan to enrage the Muslim world, with news stations like Al Jazeera showing the graphic details of what they are doing, so that these sorts of fanatical groups gain popularity. The whole thing would in fact have been engineered by the USA/Israel, and Israel backed by her allies would eventually go on to defeat this group and in turn take control of a massive amount of land in the Middle East. I had no evidence but I believed at the time he was right. I'm just waiting to see how far this group ISIS or IS whatever they call themselves, actually spreads and what sort of a threat they grow in to.
I don't really buy what the media tells us, they may show some people beheading children but we don't actually know who these people are, or as above there are pictures floating around of John McCain with a group of people, again, we don't know who these people are. One thing we do know is that whoever is beheading and killing innocent children and committing such acts, are absolute animals.
