ISIS is getting a 50% pay cut!

Archive of Islamic State Administrative Documents blog has this interesting gem, of last month:


Specimen 12Q: Lowering of salaries for fighters by 50%

So on account of the exceptional circumstances the Islamic State is facing, it has been decided to reduce the salaries that are paid to all mujahideen by half, and it is not allowed for anyone to be exempted from this decision, whatever his position. Let it be known that work will continue to distribute provisions twice every month as usual.

And God is the guarantor of success.

You may remember that apparently a bank was blown up and a lot of money was destroyed, plus Russia has been for the pst 3 months taking aim at oil sources.

Welcome to our world, ISIS...

According to an NPR investigation, these are two of the most popular items Isis fighters bought.

I love twix myself, and a couple of my grad school buddies are from the ME. Their cologne use is insane. That was hilarious
