Where are all the captured ISIS fighters?

Anyone else wonder what they are doing with all the captured fighters who surrendered when over powered?
We have no room at the GITMO hotel and with little or no "American Boots" on the ground these fighters would not be our prisoners. I highly doubt the Muslim countries and opposition soldiers follow any form of a Geneva Convention so is it safe to assume ISIS fighters are provided a one way ticket to go meet 72 virgins who are out of this world?

    Well then, you seem to know so much now don´t you. As for calling me a socialist well, that´s how small your brain is really. All so black and white, no real room for argument. It´s your way or the highway I see. But oh well, looks like you have to insult when you don´t get your way. What´s next?

    You really don't know jack do you. Everything yiou said is inaccurate crap. Communism is International Socialism Nazi-ism is NAtional Socialism. Fascism is gaining and mainting control by any means necessary and used by both the aforementioned or any religious or secular control group. Your description of Marx is pure illiterate socialist tape recorder mentality. The rest of it is 'really sad' Go back to Yoda....Your really poor attempt to reframe needs about two more years of concentrated study. Ole Yackoff is really scraping the leavings. Only thing I haven't figured out which kind of socialist are you. Now get your hand out of the cookie jar and go back to the sand box. One more bites the dust. Less Daily Worker and more daily work...

    I´m sure there´s more sufficient data if one were to research beyond the webb. My point is that Islam wasn´t involved, it came later. Religion helped pacify a very complex turmoil in one the most ancient regions on earth. In China, they use something a bit more contemporary called fascism (not to be mistaken with communism, which also should not be mistaken with Marxism). The problem with Marx is well explainned in many manifestos later on. Human beings aren´t celestial creatures. That´s why his concept of Society can never work, and it´s subdue to corruption and worst things yet. It´s all quite sad really, especially considering that Muslims are very peaceful in general, having a few radicals that use Islam as an excuse to control and operate. Real Sad indeed.

    Google and Wikpedia...

    See also: Military campaigns under Caliph Uthman

    Moors or Berbers...The rest is cloudy. However Saladin or Sa'lah Adin a Kurd kicked the europeans out of area now known as Lebanon, Israel, Jordan.

    Most accounts do not have the invaders speaking Kurdish but Arabic. I found nothing to indicate sunni nor shia listing mostly Apparently there is nothing written that survives. There are 82 or so different sects in Islamic religion. Far less than other religions. Some were more powerful than they are today.

    The primary group were Ummayad Caliphate.

    Precisely what happened in Iberia in the early 8th century is uncertain. There is one contemporary Christian source, the Chronicle of 754 (which ends on that date), regarded as reliable but often vague.[1] There are no contemporary Muslim accounts. What Muslim information there is comes from later compilations subject to contemporary ideological influence.[2] The most prominent such compilation is that of Al-Maqqari, which dates from the 17th century. This paucity of sources means that any specific or detailed claims need to be regarded with caution.[3]

    I´m not sure about this, but I think the occupation of the Iberic Peninsula wasn´t by Muslims, but by Kurds. Arabs in general (Hebrews are Arabs as well, so to speak); Islam came about the 1500. And the occupation was that of about eight centuries, being basically all Arabs very advanced in many ways, until religion paused them for hundreds of years.

    I hear you, but there´s one main difference here. They´re the ones being invaded, tortured, raped and pillaged nowadays. It´s hard to assume that we´re the wrong ones this time.

    Wait..... You still believe we are fighting ISIS??

    They are our mercenaries. We supply them, we give them free passage, etc... We hired them to take out Gaddafi, and now Assad. Why would we capture "our guys"?

    Did you miss the whole oil tanker fiasco? After Russia called US out, we bombed a small convoy, giving the drivers ample warning to run away of course. And, why didn't we bomb any before Russia started doing so? Well, the answer from the State Department was we didn't want to cause "environmental damage". Right.....

    That is why the high-up military brass went behind Obama's back and fed intelligence to Russia and Assad - they are sick of this crap.

    Which means by their standards she won....and by our standards you lost. How many times will that happen before it's a house on your street? Or just a simple robbery and the police say...no need to risk our lives for someone who cares so little for his own. Take our time wait for backup ...

    Or when it's not domestic but foreign. Well let's wait for back up and UN approval and no need risking soldiers lives for people who don't care about their own.

    I'm all in favor of your position. In the military and in the police I viewed as one less problem to interrupt my coffee and one less risk to interrupt my life.

    Your choice. that's objectivism.

    Mention of the Crusades does fit here to a degree. Christians back then were absolutely brutal but what must be remembered and brought to light here is the Christians were fighting the invading, barbaric Muslims who were raping and destroying everything in their path. They needed to get dead just the same as ISIS today.

    I heard a particular Tale that says ISIS was created by the US of NA as an excuse to continue the conflict in the Middle East, with the pinned "Terror" and all depicted on Muslims and the "need for democracy" and all that horse crap, when we all know that the real reason is it´s strategic global point and the massive oil reserves amidst those deserts.

    Most ISIS members are prisoners from Saudi Arabia that were let go, being SA an ally of the States. So, come to think of it; it´s not as simple as it seems over there. There´s another Tale about the 9/11 "Terrorist" attack that´s just sinister, but probable too. And that whole Bin Laden-Bush tandem, plus that most of these well known terrorists were trainned by the CIA and other US Military Like dependencies....

    ....as I say, "Tales". But if you wanna can me on the whole Democracy bit, let me just remind you of another similar expedition to this strategic part of the globe, or Atlas (to be more in vogue with the group). Anyone remember the Crusades? I find it rather interesting to view things with historical perspective, since it´s a bit too soon to do so with the particular issue at hand. Yet, and mind you I´m calling these "tales" and not hard cold facts (there are alot to back them up of course, but let´s not get into that); isn´t interesting how to some this may be all just a very sofisticated game?

    Don´t mean to ripple the pond here, just thoughts

    The part that I don't get and never will is taking these guys prisoner and calling them Enemy Combatants and then jailing them for some period of time in some prison. Does anyone truly believe these warriors can be rehabilitated? I think not and capital punishment is the only real answer.

    I say there is very little room for any radical religious terrorist groups in this world and there should be a swift humane execution for any of them that engage in such atrocities as we have seen. And by humane I mean, firing squad, I have always thought that was the best way to die. Quick, relatively painless, no chance for survival, and no one person to feel guilty.
    I know this is a terrible thing to consider, but I can just imagine the people in Paris thinking the attack on the concert was all part of the show. Can you imagine the jihad walks in guns drawn, how many people thought, wow that looks very real. How many of us would wonder if a jihad extremist was real if we were to actually be approached by one, not to mention how would we know, many of them look like people we see everyday.
