With great brutality, the terror militia IS pursued in Iraq and Syria dissenters. The Federal Government intends to make a fundamental decision to arms supplies to the Kurds – Chancellor and Foreign Minister see no alternative.

The terrorist group Islamic State (IS) has at least 18 people killed publicly in various places in eastern Syria. Several victims were crucified in central locations, reported the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The extremists accused them, among other things, to have supported the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

Most deeds were reported from the two provinces Rakka and Deir al-Saur, which are almost completely controlled by the terrorist group. The extremists dominate large parts of the north and east of Syria. There they regularly impose penalties after a radical interpretation of Islamic law, Sharia. The terrorist group had the US-reporter James Foley beheaded in revenge for U.S. air strikes in northern Iraq and published earlier this week to a video.

The atrocities are likely to fuel the debate in Germany about the arms sales to help the Kurds in northern Iraq in the fight against the IS. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has the plans of the federal government in the Chemnitz “Free Press” defended. However, they admitted that the weapons could fall into the wrong hands. “I do not pretend there is not this risk,” Merkel said. “One hundred percent yes or no to the question of whether we are following the right decision, there is not.”

The federal government was given the brutality with which the radical Islamic IS Christians, Yazidis and Muslims pursue, concluded to make a fundamental decision for a limited supply of arms. A Bundeswehr participation in the fighting ended Merkel from but.

Next Wednesday a final decision on the upgrade of the Kurdish armed forces should fall. Subsequently, the Bundestag shall discuss in a special meeting about it. Talking is the supply of small arms and anti-tank missiles. The United States already send weapons in Europe, the UK, France and Italy are ready.

Meanwhile, the SPD party struggles internally or with the decision. Concerns are, in particular from the left wing of the party. “My concern is that the knock-on effect is that we supply weapons today, and tomorrow will be so shot innocent people,” said SPD Vice Ralf Stegner on the edge of a closed meeting of party leaders in Berlin. Send out holding and no weapons is not the same, he added. “Germany is making a whole lot of help., We must not despise the humanitarian aid.”
