....for reasons the Associated Press cannot begin to fathom:
Islamic State militants have abducted at least 70 Christians, including women and children, after overrunning a string of villages in northeastern Syria, activists and relatives said Tuesday.
The latest assault began before dawn on Monday, when the militants swept through the villages nestled along the banks of Khabur River near the town of Tal Tamr in Hassakeh province. The area is predominantly inhabited by Assyrians, an indigenous Christian people who trace their roots back to the ancient Mesopotamians.
During the raids, the militants took between 70 and 100 Assyrians captive, said Nuri Kino, the head of the activist group A Demand For Action, which focuses on religious minorities in the Middle East. He said some 3,000 people managed to flee the onslaught and have sought refuge in the cities of Hassakeh and Qamishli.
The Islamic State group’s online radio station, al-Bayan, said in a report Tuesday that IS fighters had detained “tens of crusaders” and seized 10 villages around Tal Tamr after clashes with Kurdish militiamen. IS frequently refers to Christians as “crusaders.” It was not immediately clear what the Islamic State group planned to do with the Assyrians." [emphasis added]
You mean the Christians? Oh, come on, AP, use your imaginations. Or your picture archive....
....I'm sure you'll come up with some tortured, dhimmist, Islamophilic explanation.
But then, those "crusaders" had it coming, right? For, after all....
....and we all know that Islamic Fundamentalists consider refusal to convert as "slander".
And y'all think you'll be exempt from the Sharia supremacist mandate. My, my, is the Associated Press in for a grisly surprise.
