ISIS has been tightening security along the borders of its "caliphate" to prevent people from fleeing, according to locals familiar with the terrorist group's territory.

And ISIS — aka the Islamic State — seems to be keeping a closer watch over its populace.

People who live in Raqqa, Syria, the de-facto capital of the group's territory, which it calls its "caliphate," are now reportedly forced to register with the militant government.

There are restrictions on what people can take in and out of ISIS-held cities. And women aren't allowed to go anywhere without a male relative escort.

1. Let the snake eat itself!

This just goes to show that if it weren't for a common external enemy to unite them, ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh would eventually destroy itself through infighting. Extremists movements always collapse when left to their own devices.

2. No. They need to be pushed off the cliff. And they need as much help doing that. They are too awful.

3. Just as good

As long as that stain is erased from history, I won't complain.
