ISIS Runs Luxury Hotel in Iraq Now

HD Video Download

I.S.I.S, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, has purportedly re-opened the luxurious Ninawa International Hotel in Mosul, Iraq, after militants sympathetic to their cause overtook it. According to the Independent newspaper, the hotel has 262 rooms, ballrooms and restaurants. Thankfully, a commercial welcoming future guests to the luxury hotel has surfaced online as well. Don't worry: I.S.I.S. is ahead of the game on this one.

I can't watch the vid right now, but can you give me the bullet points? Like a Gideon's Koran in the bedside table, your daughter's ear on the pillow?

[Episiarch]

There's a video. Stuff happens. It ends.

(I didn't watch it either but I'm fairly certain my summation is accurate.)

[Dark Lord of the Cis]

He has the gift!

[Episiarch]

My powers grow stronger every day. Soon, I will even be able to summarize episodes of this season of Game of Thrones. Then, David Lynch movies. Finally, Jim Jarmusch movies. And on that day, I will become unstoppable. Or maybe it's insufferable. Either way, I'm looking forward to it.

[Hamster of Doom]

Few indeed can truly comprehend, let alone experience, the rapturous joy of being the only person in the room who had read the books before watching the Red Wedding.

[Episiarch]

Not only do I have that, I also have the rapturous joy of having seen Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai. Well...joy might be the wrong word.

[Almanian!]

Verily, you are The One.

*kneels*

[Corning]

I saw this in the theatres.

Always wondered why this Movie is considered good, feel the same way about The the Big Lebowski.

I keep having the sinking suspicion that both movies are in fact only OK and are only praised because of the good works their creators had done prior.

Beastie Boys' "Check your Head" is also similar in this regard.

[SimonJester]

I remember standing outside the opening of Return of the King and hearing a young woman say "These movies are pretty good, I even heard they made books out of these!"

[OneOut]

There are some who say...that you already are insufferable.

so there's that.

[AlmightyJB]

Everyone leaves 10 pounds lighter.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

The sad thing is, that one of Reason's more tasteful videos.

[C. Anacreon]

I'm impressed by how nice the teeth are on the thumbs-up smiling guy in the face mask that the site is showing as the video capture. Isis must have a great dental plan, probably better than the Great Satan's military dentists.

[OneOut]

Certainly better than Brittan"s central planning dental plan.

[Spencer]

Needs more nudity and swearing.

[JW]

That's my request for most of life.

[SimonJester]

I spent most of seminary saying this. Live Action, Uncencored Bible Stories were going to be awesome, until the realized what I was aiming at.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

I won't do any Nostradamus jokes for these guys, they act like some of the villains in his quatrains.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

Then I'll start it off.

The butchers of Arabia
enjoy 5 star accommodations
all is well for those who follow the sword
just don't order room service after 10.

[C. Anacreon]

The descendants of Mesopotamia
Rise up high as the peaks above the plain.
The twelfth floor is dedicated to executive frequent travelers
Who will enjoy complimentary beverages on weekday evenings

[Unicorn Abattoir]

The ones who speak for the crescent provide the finest amenities
Red fountains attract visitors in our lobby.
ISIS hoteliers value diversity, and run the only LGBT club in Iraq.
Please visit the Rainbow Lounge, located on the roof.

[Scarecrow Repair]

Really missed your chance with the pool. Whassamatta -- couldn't find any bhurqinis?

[Sevo]

And they could'a pointed out that ISIS is always trying to get a head!

[Agile Cyborg]

I presume ISIS captures the best hot Saudi/Iranian/Libyan/Syrian chicks to suck my fat juicy cock and massage my prostrate into rivers of holy jizzm? If I jizzm with 13 middle-eastern virgins in an ISIS hotel will this get me a Muhammad handjob later?

[Agile Cyborg]

What do ISIS holy warriors cum to? Rape? I can only cum to rape when my girls request an upper middle class rape fantasy after a sweet party. Aside from that its a fucking no go for me, bros. I don't give a shit about your fucking back alley wars and half-dead female bodies. Goddamn. This planet is fucked up, manola.

[Almanian!]

This planet IS fucked up. But it's less fucked up cause you're on it.

Happy Friday, Agile C.

[Agile Cyborg]

That is fuking rindiculous, you AlExclama boy

[Agile Cyborg]

War is a rape party mostly. Until, I hope, my America started killing people for certain causes, mostly and likely appropriate, others questionable. Rape and dismemberment is very common, man. I studied Human Rights Watch for years until it fucked with me and I stopped because I admit I am too fucking sensitive to handle years of studying the black hole of human hells. General Butt Naked is the one who really fucked with my reality. Never do mushrooms studying a despot. Never. Not good. Trip falters and you panic. You will recover but it is zap weird for a while.

[John]

War is the natural reality of man. God may own heaven, but the world belongs to the devil. It doesn't matter how noble your civilization, how great your art or how just your society. These things only matter in so far as your willingness and ability to defend it with the sword. Without that, you are nothing but a slave.

Libertarians are fond of saying "fuck off slaver". That is a nice sentiment but without the will to power and ability to back it up with violence and death, it means nothing

[Almanian!]

John, that's fuckin' Agile Cyborg level poetry right there! Preach on, Brother!

[Agile Cyborg]

Al!, Exclamabouy on the oceans of words, you need to rest and zest and ponder quietly... that your own words often widen the structures of knowledge more oft than not... Grow your letter balls, man. John is an old prophet of these threads. A lovely dude I often and rarely side with but he presents cogent meats and wise rubs on these meaty thread sides. Exlamaboy is brilliant but Exclamaboy brillio...

All expositors exposit individualisticalliciously.

[Agile Cyborg]

These letters you emit from your lightnings are lovely and svelte.

[Agile Cyborg]

"These things only matter in so far as your willingness and ability to defend it with the sword."

Fuck you. The sword is young. Killing is still new. We humans have lived not very long when the context of our integration is considered. The sword and the bullet is NOT great or intelligent.

The sword and the bullet is the lion and the puma and the naked human violated criminal. Geesh I hat e to fucking post that.... The deep real serial killing human is in fact a lion and a puma...... and Johns sword.

Future reality is not sword or bullet or violence or rape or pillage or death...

It is common connection and loving human salvation under the auspices of ethical group protection...

[Whole Card]

"It is common connection and loving human salvation under the auspices of ethical group protection..."

And expansion. When mankind, as groups and individuals gains the ability to leave the planet, many conflicts will cease.

[SimonJester]

You are wrong.

We will throw stones from the moon, weaponize Jovian gravity, send undesirables into far off suns and cover whole solar systems with human blood. Theists call it original sin; naturalists call the natural state of man; philosophers call it any numbers of things. But it is all comes to the same thing. We will never stop killing each other.

The only thing that will stop humans form killing humans, however temporarily, is something better at killing us than we are. It will either kill is off, like we did with neanderthal, or we will temporarily band together, Independence Day style, only long enough to push them back. And then, Operation Unthinkable will begin again.

[Corning]

Yeah but why the fuck do I have to help pay for the sword used to keep the slavers down on the other side of the world where we have never been successful at keeping the slavers down?

[Cytotoxic]

America did succeed in keeping the slavers down-for a while. AQI was almost gone. But otherwise yeah.

[Agile Cyborg]

Humans can be wonderful while cheerily watching charred remains sifting like blown ashes off a witch stick. Humans are fucking black asps. Fucking slithering crack mambas.

[Hamster of Doom]

Sometimes, you should get so high you can't feel your face, and then crochet. Counting stitches turns into pondering the Fibonacci sequence and speculating the entymology of random words. You wouldn't believe the shit you think of. Or, well, you totally would, wouldn't you?

[Episiarch]

Hey, sometimes I get so high I can't feel my face. But I don't crochet. Not after the crocheting accident with grandma...

[Hamster of Doom]

I'm trying but I can't picture a crocheting accident except that you suck at counting stitches and it came out lopsided. Unless you're in Tacoma, which leads straight to you twitching so badly you stabbed her in the eye by accident.

*side eye*

[Agile Cyborg]

stabbing granmama in the eye with a fucking crocket needle is ridunculous.... fucking redaculous.... Granmama does NOT fucking deserve this fuckin eye jab....

Macrame is the devils threads and I made many a devil as young boy in my mom's house with macrame.... tons of strange twinings twinnings... But I slept walked all the time so things were sorta always fukin odd.

[Agile Cyborg]

In the last year or two i slept in the deep woods in a casket sleep but I padded about on the jungles with my black velvety pads and my face gritted ivory teeth and in jungle moons I found a prey and I jumped and fucking smashed into the wall at the end of our bed and my wife screamed horrifically as i writhed a woken and broken boy. This happened for real. I have tons of these fucking storiations.

[Agile Cyborg]

this boy also has own several homes that he would remove all the fuckin lamp covers from . for years. lamp covers would be removed glass or cloth and placed in all sorts of odd places... and the wife would fucking roll her eyes until she doesn't really fucking care anymore... I put the shit back on and just say FUCK!! FUCK this goddam sleep shit!!

[Agile Cyborg]

I was an actual black puma for realz...

[Quincy, 12D]

Lately, when I dream, I dream either about fantastical architecture based on houses I knew as a child, or about being lost and in a confused rush in airports.

[Agile Cyborg]

is your visage a cathedral from the lost ruins lost in airports, lovely Qui? If these human cathedralisi were frontling the tappings and tippings and the strengthlings were worming the brasslings and awesomwawas then we'd cede the the fruntlings should JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I have NO fUCKING idea where my FUCKING fingertips are shredding...

[Quincy, 12D]

Usually, it's just because I can't find my boarding pass. My other anxiety is why the hell I'm in the Ukraine, looking for the gate for the flight to Pyongyang?

[Agile Cyborg]

I can't crochet high. Not possible, little feet. Not fucking possiblia. Oh look at thes' fucking word lineages... Fib sequa and spec enty o' rand wordians... lovely, Beylung lovely actually.... predictablashus from the Dom Hamster. predictablashus and wonderful.... words are vodka to my face..

[Russell]

Next thing, they'll be opening a department store in Knightsbridge.

[AlmightyJB]

As long as it's not a Walmart I'm sure it will be fine.

[Agile Cyborg]

Muhammad Mart is the fucking cheapest shit ever cuz all the ISIS fucks stole shit from hundreds of stores and sold it on the low. MM stores are like a fucking Big Lots but with Muhammad Power.

[Hamster of Doom]

I'm going to answer the question foremost in everyone's minds. Yes, it's exactly like Turtle Power.

CNN doesn't approve of this ISIS banter. Fuck Jesus in the ass with the cutest arm of the hottest chick on CNN. CNN is worried about free fucking speech and its bomb potentials. CNN the goddamn NEWS report service. Is this NEWS service worried about reporting on the fucking ISIS slivers and slavers of movements and town crushings? Why is CNN even IN the fucking business of reporting on ISIS if Cuomo is playin the world like a pickle plucked fresh from a jar?

When you move bring toilet paper.

[Cytotoxic]

Why? Cameron is indistinguishable from them. Mostly.

[Agile Cyborg]

Limbs connect oddly on the human visage. Evolution or the Johns God really hasn't fixed all these quirks of the human joints... the young flesh bound joints can handle awkward assaults on the joints.. but after a couple of decades of mistakes and sports and wars the godamn human joint is NOT the fucking evolved for modern day activities...

The man and woman is evolved to fuck and roast meat but have we evolved to fuck silicone butts for hours and roast selfies for weeks....? Its all good, man and wom. But joints are fuckin weird, they dont really do great magic shit like in the dreams... joints are pudding pops.

[Quincy, 12D]

Titanium is weird and light and expensive, the stuff of skunkworks warplanes crisscrossing the cold war sky, but its crystal structure resembles that of our bones, and so it is used for implants when our joints wear out. War is in our bones. Ti is put there, but Ti is put there because it flourishes in the environment.

[Sevo]

I did not know this.
I knew Ti valves will not live landing on silicone-bronze seats, I knew that Ti nuts on Ti bolts are a bad idea in that they tend to self-loosen regardless of the fastening torque.
I did not know that Ti shared crystalline structure with animal bone.
Thank you.

[Quincy, 12D]

That's just what my dentist told me.

[Corning]

He is full of shit. Ti is used because it does not corrode or otherwise interfere with human chemistry. They use to use stainless steel.

[PapayaSF]

ISIS shopping cart technical.

[Quincy, 12D]

Let's see the Top Gear boys try to kill that vehicle!

[Warrren]

Soon to be the setting of the ISIS produced sitcom: 'That's Haram!'

Watch the zany hijinks as weary travelers try to order up some of the things that make life bearable only to be told that what they want is forbidden and then are executed by decapitation or thrown screaming from the top of the hotel.

[Quincy, 12D]

Like "The Love Boat" with a swirling wake of chum.

[Libertarian]

Video sucked. But you know what sucks worse? Adults convincing 18 year olds that losing their limbs and lives in the Middle East is "defending our freedoms!" In twenty years, people will be asking, "WTF did we do that for?!"

[Cytotoxic]

But it is sometimes defending our freedoms.

[Quincy, 12D]

Thanks Dumbya!

$2 trillion flushed into a shithole called Iraq and ISIS gets to run a fucking Islamo-fascist hotel there!

You and your fucking idiot brother Jeb should be shunned by every citizen of this country but instead Bush the Sequel is running for CiC.

And here a team player like turd can't even thank Obo for flushing that an more into keeping it going?
I mean it's one thing to look at a mess and say: 'That's really dumb!' It's another entirely to look at a mess and say: 'That's really dumb and I'm such an ignoramus, I'll just keep right on doing it!'
Thanks turd.

[Sevo]

Let's make it clear:
"thank Obo for flushing that an more into keeping it going?" = "Thank Obo for flushing that amount and more into keeping it going"

[MarkLastname]

What do you mean running for? Bush the Sequel is just about to finish his second term.

Bill Maher continues to be among the only liberals with an accurate view of Islam.

Well, him, Sam Harris, and Richard Dawkins, basically.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

You are asking me to view a video of Bill Maher?

[Palin's Buttplug]

Don't forget me! Islam is pure voluntary slavery to some camel-fucking towel-head sadist.

I hate all religion but Islam is the worst.

[Palin's Buttplug]

I should not have put the word "voluntary" in there. Certainly some do but many of the victims of Islam do not volunteer for it.

I like to be precise and I let you Peanuts down this time.

[Sevo]

"Well, him, Sam Harris, and Richard Dawkins, basically."

James Randi and Paul Kurtz didn't bother to hide their port list, but I never saw that with Dawkins.
Kurtz was amazing in his lack of self-awareness; Skeptical Inquirer goes from a stapled mimeographed piece of pulp to a bound, glossy, four-color, while the internet is exploding, and he's whining about how 2 or 3 corporations are taking over the distribution of news!

[Hank Phillips]

By "liberals" do we mean closet socialists (US) or gelded libertarians (UK, except Australia)

[Viscount Irish, Slayer of Huns]

Under Armour makes a completely innocuous shirt which has basketball players raising a hoop in the same way as the people raised a flag on Iwo Jima. Predictably, conservative outrage machine goes into overdrive.

My Uncle fought on Tarawa & Iwo Jima, wounded multiple times, I find this by @underarmour incredibly disrespectful!

Your uncle was wounded 70 years ago and the Under Armour shirt is in no way mocking veterans. So quit whining.

I respect @UnderArmour's right to make a shirt making light of 26,039 American casualties.

I'll buy other brands from now on, exclusively.

WAAAAAAH!

[Sevo]

And that flag-raising was posed, on top of it; a PR move on the part of the photoger and the marines.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

And John Wayne.

[Sevo]

I didn't see whatever film that would have been; a little bit of John Wayne goes a VERY long ways.

"I'll buy more to make up for these assholes"

Like the Whole Foods boycott, I'll bet if you buy one or two, you'll cover the entire loss.
