The supposedly ultra-conservative Muslim fundamentalists have been forcing women in the city of Raqqa to marry them and engage in savage sex acts that result in hospital treatment, the report says.
ISIS overran Raqqa in 2013 and turned the northern Syrian city into its de facto capital, imposing harsh religious laws and publicly beheading and crucifying opponents in the ironically named Paradise Square
In a related development, two British human rights groups on Wednesday said ISIS kidnapped at least 3,000 women and girls last year from the areas it controls in Iraq.
Some victims were forced to marry ISIS terrorists, while others were sold into sexual slavery, according to a report by Minority Rights Group International and the Ceasefire Centre for Civilian Rights.
I hear frequently on ATS that members here "fear extremist Christians more than extremist Muslims". You are clearly out of touch and quite frankly I have a heard time taking anything else those people say seriously. There is no comparison. They usually attempt to make some comparison to the Crusades, which was 1,000 years ago and was an actual war conflict. If that's the case why wouldn't you hold the Republican and Democrat parties to the ideals they believed in even 50 years ago? Do you still hold Germany responsible for Nazi activity? Do you hold current USA citizens responsible for Native American genocide? It's selective reasoning. There is no comparison.

The reason people in the U.S say that is because unlike the Muslim Extremists, Christian Extremists actually do have powers and a hold over here, actually can try and successfully get laws passed forcing their religions morality on others, and actually does have enough of a hold to affect us here.
For the everyday U.S Citizen, Christian Extremists and their push to legislate us to follow their beliefs, like restricting homosexuals from marriage, ect, is more of a threat than a bunch of people killing each other on the other side of the world. You can talk about what's happening over their all you want, but no Americans are being kidnapped by ISIS in the U.S.
A man asked two people whether they were Muslims
before stabbing them at a Southfield bus stop on Saturday,
the victims told police.
A 52-year-old Detroit man was stabbed five times;
once in the face, once in the neck and three times in the back,
Southfield Police Chief Eric Hawkins said.
A 51-year-old Detroit man who tried to intervene was stabbed in the hand.
The incident happened at about 10:30 p.m. near Northland Mall at 21500 Northwestern Highway.

A thread does not equate to Islamic State Brutality. What an agenda-driven stretch of the imagination.

It is incredible that the only responses to Islamic State brutality so far have been equivocating vitriol aimed at Christians and indifference.
Good thing those who post such garbage are in all likelihood a very small vocal minority with an agenda.

The Op seems to be about distancing Christianity from religious extremism.
