Because, you know, committing horrible acts against innocent women is just the kind of stuff that random JV folk do, especially when "their momentum is blunted".
Meanwhile,
(Daily Mail) A woman was burned alive by depraved Islamic State militants after she refused to take part in an 'extreme sex act', a United Nations official has revealed."Lack of economic opportunity, the legacy of colonialism". Surely some academic will find the components of western society that drove these folks into becoming sex slave-masters.
Hundreds of women have been kidnapped by jihadi fighters who send the 'prettiest virgins' to slave markets in the Syrian city of Raqqa, where they are sold as sexual objects to the highest bidder.
Many are stripped naked and forced to undergo virginity tests before being sent to the twisted auctions, the UN's Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict has said.
Zainab Bangura discovered the gruesome extent of crimes against young women – particularly from Iraq's Yazidi minority community – after collecting information from Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.
She said: 'They (ISIS) commit rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution and other acts of extreme brutality.
'We heard one case of a 20-year-old girl who was burned alive because she refused to perform an extreme sex act. We learned of many other sadistic sexual acts.'
ISIS has carried out 'systematic sexual crimes' against Yazidi women and girls after kidnapping over 200 of them from their homes in northern Iraq last August, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said.
