A BURQA-clad babysitter has been arrested after beheading a disabled little girl in her care and wandering the streets holding the severed head.

Gruesome video shows the woman walking outside Oktyabrskoye Pole underground station in Moscow holding the bloodied head in her hands while shouting 'Allahu Akbar'.

Local media identified the victim as a little girl of four named Nastya M. Nastya's Uzbek national nanny Gyulchehra Bobokulova, 39, is understood to be the arrested woman.

Was gnna make and end of times post/joke but saw this on rrdit and it blew what i was gnna post out the water so...

On August 14, 2014, fighters from the newly-declared Islamic State attacked the town of Dabiq in the north Aleppo countryside, then held by fighters affiliated with mainstream Syrian rebel groups. IS took the town and repelled a subsequent FSA counterattack, killing a total of 40 rebel fighters and capturing more, for the loss of 12 of its own men. While one may expect the group’s supporters to cheer a victory such as this, but this was not the only reason for their happiness; Dabiq’s importance to the Islamic State and its sympathizers lies not in any importance to military strategy, but due to its position in Islamic eschatology, a narrative that lies at the heart of the group’s religious doctrine and certainly the ideological fuel for many of its personnel.

The land of Sham, known otherwise as Greater Syria or the Levant, as a whole is an important setting in the Islamic narrative of the events leading up to the prophesied end of the world and final judgement of humanity, called Yawm al Qiyamah (Day of Resurrection) or Yawm ad Din (Day of Judgement) by Muslims. However, different sects differ among one another regarding the exact details of the chain of events and the role of individuals involved, mainly due to the fact that the source for most information about the Last Days is not the Quran, the text of which is considered eternally consistent and agreed upon by all sects, but the Hadith, the sayings and quotes of Muhammad (PBUH), which have varying levels of authenticity. A hadith considered sahih or authentic by one school may be considered daif or weak by another as Sunnis and Shias refer to different Hadith collections as authorities on the subject. Most Muslims accept however that there will be great turmoil in Sham before Qiyamah. Some hadith mention a character called the Sufyani, who is purportedly a tyrant belonging to the Banu Kalb tribe and spreads corruption in Syria, killing and maiming innocents. He will also rule over Syria and send an army to kill the prophesied Mahdi, which will be defeated. Shia Muslims believe in the emergence of the Sufyani as a tyrant from the lineage of Abu Sufyan, the father of Muawiya who fought Ali, the first Imam, and the grandfather of Yazid whose armies massacred Hussain and his family at Karbala. Many Sunnis however do not accept the descriptions of the Sufyani as authentic, considering these hadith ‘daif’ and thus, unreliable; they do however accept the general premise of strife and corruption in Sham prior to Qiyamah.

In addition to the strife in Sham, the Muslims will also be at war with the ‘Romans’. This war will encompass the whole of the region and be devastating and harsh for both sides. However, the Muslims are said to prevail after a great battle at Amaq or Dabiq in which a Muslim army of ‘the best people of the earth’ face off against a 'Roman' army. A third of the Muslim army are casualties, another third desert and the remaining fighters capture Constantinople and take a great many spoils, though this is interrupted by the arrival of the Dajjal or Anti-Christ and despite their best efforts, would be unable to defeat him. Sunnis believe after this that Jesus (AS) will descend from Heaven and leading the Muslim armies will defeat Dajjal and establish a fair and just government on Earth, ruling before dying shortly prior to Qiyamah. Twelver Shias believe that the Mahdi, who in their tradition is actually the 12th Imam Muhammad al Mahdi who entered occultation in 874, will kill Dajjal and Jesus (AS) will descend some years later. Another sign of Qiyamah relevant to Sham is that the Euphrates will disclose a river of gold, over which men will fight and die. The text of the hadith mentioning Dabiq is as follows:

“The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A’maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army) which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah’s eye, would be killed and the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Dajjal has taken your place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).”

Dabiq’s importance to the Islamic State’s doctrines is a more recent phenomenon, with more emphasis being placed on the town since 2014. Although it is clear that a large number of recruits joining the group do so for more mundane reasons, it is not difficult to see why IS has chosen to adopt an end-times doctrine and how it has gained so many followers and sympathizers. According to Muslim tradition, Qiyamah will be heralded by a host of signs, both major and minor. These include widespread cheating in business practices, the spread of alcohol and usury, sexual promiscuity, acceptance of homosexuality etc. To Muslims living in the modern world, especially those in the West, it appears as if many of these signs are being fulfilled. The current war in Syria and unrest in the Levant can also be construed to be the prophesied turmoil in Sham and for those who believe in the character of the Sufyani or an equivalent tyrannical figure, Bashar al Assad could represent that figure very well for, considering his control over a large part of the country and his government’s responsibility for a large portion of the civilian casualties in the conflict. Therefore for those putting stock in such a narrative, it is easy to conclude that they are living in the end-times and that therefore, the conflicts currently occurring are orders of magnitude more important that other wars fought in human history.

Therefore, many of the Islamic State’s rank and file members and perhaps even its leadership genuinely believe that they are the prophesied army who fight against the 'Romans' and aid the Mahdi against the Sufyani and later, Dajjal. An example of this fervor can be seen when Turkey officially joined the anti-IS coalition; IS supporters were jubilant at the news, because hadith refer to a 'Roman' army under 80 standards attacking the Muslims and being defeated. They interpret this to mean a coalition of 80 different nations standing against the Muslim army, and thus the entry of Turkey brings the number of nations standing against them closer to that number and thus closer to their defeat. Turkey’s entry was also important in the context of the conquest of Constantinople/Istanbul after the defeat of the Romans. The identity of 'Romans' is another question. As the Roman Empire no longer exists and neither Italy nor Greece are involved in the Middle East, it is likely that ‘Romans’ is an allegory for Christians or Western nations, represented in the present context by the Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve.

In the current situation, IS is suffering defeats across northern Aleppo and has nearly been encircled at Dabiq. However, the attacker is not the ‘Roman’ coalition but Syrian rebel groups, similar to those IS drove out when it first took the town, that are neither Western nor Christian. Under attack and being likely to lose the battle, IS has already put out the narrative that this battle is not the prophesied battle of Dabiq, which will happen at some future date. Combined with factors such as recent defeats, wage reductions among others, morale among IS fighters is likely to be at rock bottom currently. However, IS only exploited a narrative that was already present in the minds of many Muslims, rather than creating it from scratch. As long as the war in Syria and the general unrest in the region last, Muslims with an interest in the advent of Qiyamah will continue to believe that they are living in the end-times and potentially allow another group in future to exploit the same beliefs to gain support.

Battlefield defeats in Iraq and Syria continued to splinter Islamic State’s hold on both countries on Thursday, with Mosul airport seized by advancing Iraqi forces and the town of al-Bab finally falling to Syrian rebels.

Backed heavily by Turkey, rebels said they had recaptured nearly all of al-Bab, which had remained Isis’s westernmost stronghold throughout five months of intensive fighting and a key target of the war against the terror group.

The seizure of al-Bab came as the airfield on the western outskirts of Iraq’s second city fell to Iraqi troops after a brief, but intense, battle. Its capture allows advancing government forces to consolidate a stronghold close to Mosul before launching an all-out push to retake it – a move that would strip Isis of its last urban stronghold in Iraq. 

By nightfall, troops were moving into the sprawling airfield to launch operations into the fortified western suburbs, where several thousand of Isis’s most seasoned fighters have prepared for a last stand. If the west of the city falls, the extremists’ presence in Iraq will be confined to a border area in the country’s north-west, which spills towards its last remaining centre of gravity, the Syrian city of Raqqa.

Backed by US jets and drones, national police forces were first into the Mosul airfield and had secured most of the runway by noon local time. Militants had laid mines throughout the disused complex and were clashing heavily with advancing forces, before capitulating late in the afternoon.

A spokesman for the Iraqi counter-terrorism forces, Sabah al-Numan, said: “Our forces started a major operation this morning to storm the Ghazlani airport base and I can confirm that it is only a matter of time before we control the whole area.”

The seizure of the base will give the forces and their US backers control of two large airfields near Mosul, the other one being the Qayyarah military base, to the south of the city.

In al-Bab, a Syrian rebel spokesman said mines had been laid “every square metre” throughout the centre of the city, which had been home to Isis’s external operations arm – the part of the organisation responsible for plotting a series of spectacular terror attacks in Europe.

Rebels advanced cautiously through central neighbourhoods as Isis members retreated to the west, where a series of towns and villages spreading towards Raqqa offer one of its last redoubts in Syria.

Outnumbered and outgunned in both Syria and Iraq, Isis is expected to intensify the guerrilla campaigns that became its signature acts in both countries over the past two and a half years, in which it ran rampant over a large swath of the region.

Mines, barricades, trenches and tunnels were littered throughout eastern Mosul, making heavy going for Iraqi forces, which eventually retook the area earlier this year after a three-month battle. However, the west of the city is a more difficult landscape to take militarily. West Mosul’s narrow streets will make the going tough for armoured vehicles, meaning a lot of the fighting will need to be done house to house. Isis is known to have deployed dozens of suicide bombers along approaches.

A British jihadi, Jamal al-Harith, born Ronald Fiddler, is thought to have been among themand to have blown himself up in an area known as Abu Saif on Monday.

Aid organisations say as many as 750,000 civilians may still be in western Mosul. Mercy Corps’s country director, Su’ad Jarbawi, said: “We need to be nimble and ready to respond to the needs of the people wherever and however we find them.

“In the battle for the eastern half of the city of Mosul we saw the overwhelming majority of civilians staying in their homes rather than fleeing. This was a marked departure from what we’ve seen in previous battles. However, we don’t yet know what civilians in the western side of the city will choose to do.”

As many as half of Mosul’s remaining residents are thought to be under 18, and 160,000 have already fled the west of the city for newly erected refugee camps to the south. Iraqi forces have detained hundreds of military-aged men as they have fled, in an attempt to weed out any Isis members among them.

Iraq’s prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, has demanded that troops be held accountable for any abuses. In the fight for the east of the city, relatively few allegations of abuse arose, with national police and soldiers winning the cautious trust of communities who, before the Isis takeover of Mosul in mid-2014, had been deeply wary of a security order imposed by Baghdad.

After Mosul is done and maybe before it is only Raqqa left for ISIS.... then we will see everyones true colours because all the big nations are sort of working together or at least working against a common enemy... when that enemy is gone what will there excuses be ?

Two Americans were among five ISIS fighters recently captured in eastern Syria, according to a spokesman for the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.

The Americans were identified as Warren Christopher Clark (aka Abu Mohammad al-Ameriki) of Houston, and Zaid Abed al-Hamid (aka Abu Zaid al-Ameriki), originally from the U.S., but no specific location was reported.

Clark was identified in an NBC News report last February as an American who had sent his resume to ISIS, in hopes of joining the terror group.

“We are aware of open source reports of reportedly American citizens currently in custody who were believed to be fighting for ISIS,” Navy Cmdr. Sean Robertson, a Pentagon spokesman, told Fox News in a statement. “However, we are unable to confirm this information at this time. The incident is under investigation.”
