ISIS-mag-NEWS-smInflammatory new images this week from the extremist group ISIS: The cover of ISIS’s English-language magazine portrays the group’s black flag flying over the Vatican with the headline “The Failed Crusade.” An article inside praised the revival of what it called an ancient Islamic custom of taking women and children as the spoils of war. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch released a new report documenting ISIS atrocities against Iraq’s Yazidi minority. The report quotes Yazidi refugees who described how ISIS separates families and forces women and even young girls to marry its fighters.
