Militants in Syria put victims' heads on poles; hundreds killed daily

[oberliner]

In some of the most gruesome images yet to emerge from the latest mass violence in Syria, videos show militants raising their victims' severed heads on poles.

The amateur videos emerged as a Syrian human rights group reported 1,600 deaths in just 10 days this month.

The latest images come from an area taken over by the militant terrorist group the Islamic State, which recently changed its name from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. The group is known for killing dozens of people at a time and beheading some.

At least three videos posted on YouTube by different people show the grisly scene at a roundabout in the city of Reqqa, where Islamic State militants have been carrying out public executions, crucifixions and other acts decided by its Sharia, or Islamic law, court.

1. In a world where things are relative

ISIS has made Assad into a rather nice person.

4. Yes, just thinking that

They need to keep their dictator. I wish Iraq could have kept their dictator.

Some places cannot do democracy. Hell, we don't actually do democracy!
