MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST UNDERSTAND THEIR CULTURE – AT 9:18 A.M. ET:   The horror stories from ISIS continue.  From London's normally leftist Independent: 

Iraq's Ministry of Human Rights has claimed that Isis militants have executed at least 150 women in the Western province of Al-Anbar, Turkish media has reported.

A statement released by the ministry on Tuesday said the militants had attacked women before burying them in mass graves in Fallujah, according to the Anadolu Agency.

"At least 150 females, including pregnant women, were executed in Fallujah [...] after they refused to accept jihad marriage," the statement said.

"Many families were also forced to migrate from the province’s northern town of Al-Wafa after hundreds of residents received death threats."

Isis has overrun a large part of the western Anbar province in its push to expand its territory across swathes of Iraq and Syria.

As a group, Isis has been responsible for mass executions before.

Last month, the militant group shot dead at least 50 men, women and children in a tribe massacre in the province last month.

The attack against the Al Bu Nimr tribe took place in the village of Ras al-Maa, north of Ramadi, the provincial capital. There, the militant group killed at least 40 men, six women and four children.

COMMENT:  Notice the deep concern of the international "human rights" community.  They're more upset by rough interrogation techniques practiced by the United States.   They certainly have a great set of priorities.
