[Sally]

With all the alerts I get each day showing that Mr. Porta-Potty is busy with his asinine trolling, it shows me that he still can't get out of his room or cell and has to keep on resorting to conducting his Jihad on the Internet. After we have seen the terrorist acts many converts have committed, it is a far better thing that he just keeps trolling while sitting on his throne. Meanwhile it is almost like a miniature United Nations with these barbarians coming from all places on this planet. It has to be very frustrating for those who are unable to join them.

Will the Kurds get their Kurdistan?...

Ruins of homes in Kirkuk a sign of divisions to come in Iraq
Dec 3,`16 -- All along the street, houses have been reduced to rubble in the central Iraqi city of Kirkuk. The work of Kurdish security forces retaliating against Sunni Arabs after a recent Islamic State group attack, residents say.

Kurdish security forces moved in with bulldozers and excavators and demolished at least 100 homes in the Huzeiran neighborhood of Kirkuk in the week after a deadly suicide bombing in October, according to residents interviewed by The Associated Press and a report by Human Rights Watch. The destruction points to the dangerous divisions that threaten to burst out now that the IS "caliphate" appears on the verge of collapsing with the assault on its bastion Mosul further north.

Oil-rich Kirkuk, in northeastern Iraq, is a particular flashpoint: It is split between Kurdish, Arab and Turkmen populations, each of which have historically claimed it as its own. During the fight against IS, the Kurds seized control of the city and have said they will keep it, opening a likely dispute with the central government and the other local populations. "This is my house and this is my tragedy," said one Arab resident of Huzeiran. The building that was once her family home now lies in ruin. She said Kurdish security forces came into the neighborhood, labelled her building "confiscated" and ejected her family. They also took their identification documents, she said, speaking on condition she only be identified by her nickname Umm Ahmed for fear of retaliation.

Arab residents sit amid their destroyed home in Kirkuk's Huzeiran neighborhood, Iraq, Friday, Dec. 2, 2016. In the weeks following a deadly Islamic State group attack in central Kirkuk, residents of the city's Arab neighborhoods say Kurdish security forces moved into a small mostly Arab neighborhood on the city's southern edge, destroyed homes and confiscated identity documents.​

Associated Press video from the neighborhood showed dozens of destroyed buildings along several streets. New York-based Human Rights Watch documented at least 100 homes demolished there on October 23 and 24 by Kurdish security forces, displacing more than 300 families. Lying on the southern edge of Kirkuk proper, in addition to the neighborhood's residents, the area was also hosting mostly Sunni Arabs who fled villages around Kirkuk that were overrun by IS in 2014. "We want to ask the joint forces and the government forces who demolished our houses, why they did it," said another Kirkuk resident whose house was destroyed and identity documents confiscated. He also asked to only be identified by a nickname Abu Abdullah due to concerns for his safety.

Kirkuk Governor Najmiddin Karim, a Kurd, has repeatedly denied in comments to Iraqi media that forcible displacements are taking place in the province. The Associated Press sought comment from Kurdish security officials and the governor but received no response. But Rakan Said al-Jibouri, the deputy governor and head of the Arab council of Kirkuk, confirmed the destruction. "We consider this wrongful behavior and a racist attack by the security forces and the political parties behind them," he told the AP. He said the destruction has forced many of Kirkuk's Arab residents to scatter, taking refuge with relatives. The oil-rich city of Kirkuk is claimed by both Iraq's central government and the largely autonomous Kurdish region.
