BBC reports on an atrocity in western Iraq Al Anbar Governate’s town of al-Baghdadi. BBC reports that “Violent Extremist militants from Islamic State (IS) have burned to death 45 people in the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, the local police chief says.” BBC also indicates “The fighting and poor communications in the area make it difficult to confirm such reports.”
If confirmed, this is likely the burning to death of 45 Muslims (Sunni) by a global terrorist organization which claims its goal to create an “Islamic State.” Wikipedia reports that: “Nearly all the inhabitants of the province are Sunni Muslims and mostly from the Dulaim tribe.”
As more information is available, R.E.A.L. will update this posting. It is astounding that such a gruesome mass murder likely of Sunni Muslims is going with limited reporting.
This demonstrates again the priority of our defending our human rights and human dignity for all of our fellow human beings. Those who reject such shared human rights will sink to any level to deny and degrade our fellow human beings.
