Rick N. tossed this image over the electronic transom courtesy wsj.com. It’s unusual in the sense that most ISIS images feature kneeling prisoners in orange jumpsuits shortly before they’re decapitated. Or immolated. Here though, we see ISISians in repose, rather than mugging for the camera. But besides that, what’s wrong with this photo?
Little blonde kid? Man in the head scarf? Flag upside down? Beats me.
These dumbasses must shoot each other a lot. One is about to lose an arm before the guy in the middle gets it not once but twice. I’m thinking the one in the middle is the other two guy’s bitch but that’s pretty normal behavior for these macho guys.
Gee, that kid on the right is blonde. Where did they kidnap him?
They tried to sell him on 72 virgins, milk and honey, but after failed attempts they told the kid to hop on the camel and he’d get a corn dog for the trip.
Its not uncommon in parts of the middle east to find blonde, blue eyed children, and even a few gingers – particularly among Kurds.
The adults are Baloch (off shoot/related to Kurds). The hats worn by the unveiled are a common, Pashtun-style called pakol. Kunar Province is right on the border between Afghanistan and Palistan. The blond boy might be the son of any number of European Muslims that have voluntarily joined Daesh. They want new joins that already have dual-citizenship or EU Passports for ease of access purposes/future travel.
Sorry–my mistake. Not Kurdish. Baloch have a Persian/Iranian background and may have emigrated from the central Caspian region. The peshmerga are very, very different.
He might very well be a Chechen, or at least a son of a Chechen mother. Blond guys aren’t super common among them, but do happen (and often combine with blue eyes & tall height for your stereotypical “Arian Ubermensch” look).
Probably Bergdahl fathered him while conspiring with the enemy prior to BHO’s arranged “release…” Which reminds me, is it January 2017 yet…?
He’s giving those guns the stink eye. I bet it’s Willy Lunchmeat.
The fact that there’s no drone missile strike in bound at the moment the photo was took is the biggest problem I have with that photo.
Ya gotta give it a little time! I just got off the hook with the Pentagon. It’s on it’s way, should hit just about the same time this post gets through the wait period!
What’s wrong? They are not dead. Had I been there I would be taking a picture of their dead bodies. That’s what’s wrong.
Obviously no tacticool gear. No Surefire or Trijicon or Crimson Trace. Plus they should be using Magpul mags right?
Muzzle discipline.
Beat me to it, I noticed immediately! One dude could blow his arm off, the other could do away with the guys on his left!
^ this!
And some recessive genes on that kid on the right, maybe an albino?
I know
The woman must be really ugly because she has her face covered up. Maybe she’s a blonde too? That would explain the dumbass mistake she made by marrying the Haji
Look at his eyes and hands. If he’s a woman, I’m Heidi Klum.
Yeah. No question that’s a dude. And he’s the only one looking at the camera AND he looks really F’n pissed. Creepy.
It’s a woman. Her name is Caitlyn. The picture is from the set of a reality show: Dysfunctional Families of the World. The guy on the left has a big butt.
I doubt she had any say in who she was marrying.
Haji is spelled like this (Hadji) and Hadji is from India, not Afghanistan.
Hajji, or Hadji, as it a Romanization of the Arabic abjad/script, so it can be written a few different ways and they are all correct and all wrong too.
It is an honorific term, referring to someone who has completed pilgrimage to Mecca, called the Hajj (Hadj). Many people attempt to insult or degrade all Muslims by calling them Haji’s, when in fact, they are doing the exact opposite. It would be like someone trying to denigrate me as a Christian by constantly calling me someone who had visited the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. As I have done that, it’s not insulting at all. If I had not done that yet, I would take it as a compliment that you had assumed I had.
I have been to Saudi Arabia and set foot in Mecca, but not been allowed to visit the Kaaba as I am not a Muslim. Oddly enough I was allowed inside the Dome of the Rock. I’ve always wondered then if devout Muslims should refer to me as Hajji Taylor?
Blonde kid, 2 muzzles pointed the the guy in the center. Guy in center has face hidden like a woman in their culture. Same guy is the only one looking at the camera. Guy on our right looks spaced out. Other than that , the fact that they are all still alive is a problem. Did I miss anything ? Not sure if the flag is upside down or not as I do not read Arabic.
Bacon. There’s no f’in bacon. That’s why they want to ahloha snackbar everyone. Because they have bacon, and they don’t.
You’ll have to pry my bacon from my cold dead hands.
The blond kid needs to get with the program. He’s not wearing a “dumb ass” hat, like the rest of them!
And, the three guys in front were late picking up my daughter for prayer meeting last night!
Blonde kid(I looked quite similar as a lad). Not at all different than the muslims in kosovo/serbia or the caucasus…
“What’s Wrong With This Picture?”. . .
There’s live people in it.
Dammit, beat me to it. I was going to say it a little differently tho…
“They’re not full of bullet holes.”
More pics and story here…I Googled ‘Gul Dali’: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3182445/Could-worse-Taliban-look-set-clash-ISIS-Mullah-Omar-s-successor-vows-continue-war-Afghanistan.html
They’ve all been circumcised.
I wonder if Gul Dali changed his name from Gul Dukat after he escaped the Fire Caves on Bajor.
Maybe Ra’s al Gul straight outta the Lazarus Pit.
Best Trek villain ever.
Better than Kahn 2.0?
(Yeah, I know, Benedict Cumberbatch is supposed to be the prequel Kahn…)
All I know is that Gul Dukat really knew how to deal with those Bajoran terrorists.
@Geoff: Harry Mudd was better than Khan 2.0.
The best villians were the Klingons, even after they joined the Federation. Wine, women, song and asskickery at its finest.
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!
Tell me guys! I gotta know!
Do they have a chicken walk across some spilled white paint to make that dumb ass looking writing on the flag?
They are alive.
milkman’s kid on the right?…..
No Dixie pork barbecue and no Confederate Flag. No one is handling rattlesnakes either.
The blonde kid is actually Missouri Synod Lutheran.
Let me guess… they all obtained their guns through a gun show loophole.
His watch says 8 PM, but it is clearly earlier.
The dude in the lower left hand corner, tell me that’s not a corn tortilla on his head??
Guys.. Thats not muzzle discipline that is PHOTOSHOP
Is that a welcome to Canada sign on the right?
No! It’s a sign up list, for a vacation in Disneyland.
No thats the search team from the US border side.
The pizza dough he was working on?… well, we know were it landed.
Your probably right! I thought that was a little too big to be a tortilla.
The fact that this picture even happened in the first place is what’s wrong with it.
The Mercedes they cropped out has Illinois plates and a “Yes We Can” bumper sticker?
The woman has “Man Hands” man!
Looks like a dude in a burka. Oh, and the blond kid in the background.
Do you mean “besides the white boy”??????
Saw a bunch of pasty-skinned gingers in Iraq.
With weapon handling like that, sell them more guns and they’ll all shoot themselves.
Where’s the goat with the sore ass?
Gul Dali has a watch on his right arm. Either he is left handed or the picture is reversed. Either way, muslims tend to wipe their butts with their left hand and a left handed mussie would not be looked upon favorably.
Well, the blond kid is just about the right age to belong to some blond-haired, blue-eyed American circa the first few years of OIF?
Not unlike the totally Russian-looking 30ish-year old Afghan dude in the Kandak that my unit advised.
they’re not saying cheese. and they’re curds!
And they wish we’d just go a whey.
That was horrible. Just horrible.
Yeah, I know. I went and stood in the corner for 10 minutes after I posted that comment.
flag is backwards
What’s Capn’ Jack Sparrow doing in Afghanistan?
Ummm….its in AFGHANISTAN…until very recently, daesh has been generally limited to the levant and the tribal cluster-f**k known as Iraq. But apparently, since they are not a global (or even regional) threat, according to the current US regime, they have been permitted to expand and work with our old friends the taliban…thanks Barry.
They forgot to pick up the cake from Wal-mart?
Someone had sex with a American/British soldier!! Naughty naughty!!! 😉
Only the men have the guns. Does that (presumed) woman actually want to be there? That is irrelevant- she’s going to do whatever the men say or she risks being shot.
The corollary being that those with a monopoly on force control the disarmed, and the disarmed can quickly become the disenfranchised.
Give each them a turkey leg and a tankard and they would fit right in at the local Renaissance Fair.
They are still breathing.
I guess muzzle discipline isn’t a high priority to ISIS.
