Alt-Right, “BATTLE OF RAQQAH BEGINS: ISIS FAST AS THEIR ENEMIES CLOSE IN”, 30 May 2017:

Jihad without nibbles.

After several weeks of cautious advancing, the US-backed, largely Kurdish-manned Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) [editorial note: Kurdish-manned, Syrian Force - ideally, those are ingredients we want on our side] have now begun their assault on the ISIS capital of Raqqah.

In a clear insult to Muslims around the world, the assault has been timed to coincide with period of Ramadan [Since we’re not being gingerly about their traditions, how about making their religion and its practices illegal in our nations?], a month of fasting in the Islamic lunar calendar. During Ramadan strict Muslims, like the members of ISIS, will abstain from nutrition during hours of daylight. As SDF forces are largely secular of Marxist in their ideology [Apparently at the behest of right wing superiors, the author of the article appears to be dog whistling the Marxist, “Left” thing in order to encourage the Alt-Right audience into thinking that the left nationalists who form a natural opposition to Isil, Islam and other right wing ideologies, are the bad guys], this will ensure that ISIS forces will be physically weakened in the street battles ahead.

Already SDF forces have reached the edge of the city. While ISIS forces are clearly intending to fight to the death, it is believed that the Islamist group has already its their capital to Deir ez-Zur, a town 90 miles down the Euphrates river.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the hot weather and the weakened conditions of the opponents, SDF forces have started making rapid advances to the south of the city in a clear effort to cut it off.

Meanwhile ISIS forces in Raqqah have two main priorities. One is to prevent civilians from leaving the city, so as to keep as many “human shields” as possible and limit the amount of US-led coalition bombing.  In order to prevent people fleeing the battle, roadblocks have been set up.

The other priority is to ensure that people are observing Ramadan fasting rules. Already there have been reports of ISIS arresting an old man for not fasting and whipping other civilians for the same offence. It’s going to be a long, tough Ramadan [One hopes that this is pure sarcasm, but has to wonder whether there is a tinge of sympathy here for a religion that means us no good].
