LOL They even put the Islamic year on the coins. Those numbers say 1436, which is the current year of the Islamic calendar.
I'm actually quite interested in how and where these coins will be minted and where the raw materials will come from. Its actually a really logical choice, their foreign backers can pay them in gold and no (or less) worries about inflation or worthless currency.
The Arab Spring has truly brought light and democracy to this part of the world:
Oh how horrible their lives must have been 4-5 years ago.

Really? How the hell is shipping trucks of gold into a warzone a clever option when your alternative is an electronic money transfer between a bank in Switzerland and one in Liechtenstein (picked two countries with bank secrecy out of a hat. No offense to the Swiss or Liechtensteinians). I am fairly certain that shipping trucks of gold is not what some fancy oil sheik with more money than brains is doing.
EDIT: I also have no clue how much you're supposed to be able to buy with a dinar, but a solid gold coin of even a small size is going to be worth 100s of dollars, if not thousands (lets say a coin is about the size of a teaspoon, or about 5 ml, which assuming 12 karat gold, is just slightly under 50g of (pure) gold. Current market price for 50 grams of gold is slightly over $1900.
Not exactly a workable amount if you're going to buy bread. It also means that their dirham to dinari is completely out of whack if they use silver in their dirhams; needing about 2000 dirham to 1 dinar (assuming pure silver and coins the same size for 1 dirham as for 1 dinar), which is clearly not very workable in amounts of 1 and 5 dinar coins.

I meant money for internal use, Maybe someone with more knowledge in economy could go more in-depth with just how a banking system in ISIS territory is going to work. I personally think any currency other than gold/silver would tank... hard.
Is this guy from ISIS or Al-Qaeda? Seems like Al-Qaeda, if so, i really wonder what he is doing right now, operating with Assad?
Strange thing that West should focus on, whenever i see a Turkish Dutch / German / British / French, i can easily see that he is way more religious than Turks in Turkey, taking his status based on age, economy and education. Ive never checked what the hell are the turks doing outside of the country, only thing i know from my relatives in Germany, they are stuck in 2 cultures, not Turkish, not German. (todays generation is morelike German though)
Take a guy from Turkey, capable of speaking at least 2-3 langs, probably finished studies and has a "profession" about something, he would never be like this guy in the vid. Ive been in every part of Turkey except Turkish Kurdistan, spent min a month in every, and i have like +2k friends from all around the State and i can say only 5-6 are islamists. And actually those were from Gulen Cemaat, which is also called Parallel Israel State within Turkey.
If we have members from Germany or Netherlands who have Turkish friends, would you please enlighten me about this strange religious inclination of origin Turk citizens? If this guy was in my any school, we would be all the time staring at him, i would think that he is arabic or something, look at his beard, wtf. Is there a some sort of strange practice of Islam in Europe, what triggers them to be jihadist?
Soldier-turned-aid worker appears to be fifth Westerner to be murdered by violent extremists of Isil despite becoming a Muslim during his year in captivity
Islamic State fighters have issued a new video apparently showing the murder of US hostage Peter Kassig and threatening “slaughter” on Western streets.
The 15-minute long grisly video shows the horrific beheading a group of Syrian military prisoners and then the decapitated head of Mr Kassig at the feet of a masked man. The man, who appears to be the same militant known as Jihadi John who has appeared in other beheading videos, says: "This is Peter Edward Kassig, a US citizen."
He also denounces David Cameron as a puppet of the United States president: He says: “To Obama, the dog of Rome. Today we are slaughtering the soldiers of Bashar and tomorrow we will be slaughtering your soldiers and with Allah’s permission we will break this final and last crusade and the Islamic State will soon, like your puppet David Cameron said, begin to slaughter your people on your streets.”
The chilling video, titled 'Although the disbelievers dislike it', shows the brutal murders of around 16 Syrian soldiers in graphic detail.
Mr Kassig's death would be the fifth beheading of a Westerner apparently carried out by violent extremists of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).
.....
He was taken hostage in October last year during a trip to deliver food and medical supplies to Deir Ezzour in eastern Syria

No, im not tired at all. And i believe my efforts corrected many wrong thinkings about Turkey, at least, no harm trying. And the post you replied was not a defence, bro. Nearly 10-15 millions of Turks are living in Europe, and one can easily notice their religious lifestyle differs from ours. Some of these people are now in syria, CAUSING A CIWIL WAR. There must be a missing link, and i want to know what and why. If you are from Eu, you should also investigate this, they are living next to you, not me. We need to learn before ISIS v2.

I'm sure that are many turks living next to you that joined ISIS and would support such ideologies.

A Muslim community leader said that two of four Sydney brothers who recently left to join the Islamic State terror group are obese and doubts that they will be allowed to join the terror group on the battlefield.
The brothers, aged 17, 23, 25, and 28, tricked their mother into thinking they had won a free trip to Thailand, but instead traveled to Syria to fight alongside the extremist group.
Dr. Jamal Rifi, a family friend and leader in the Australian Muslim community, told 2UE news that he hopes that the physical condition of two of the brothers will disqualify them from combat and will prompt them to return home.
“We are hoping the fact that two of them they are quite obese, they are not good foot soldiers. They are over 140 kilograms and people who are going to see them are going to realize (and ask) ‘what are we going to do with them? Are they going to eat all the food and can’t even run on the field?'” he told the Australian radio station in a Monday interview.
Now pls no ty is not by any means a bad guy, but that ban's timing is ironic because just a couple hours ago I dealt with the most screwed up person straight from Turkey I've come across and she did a pretty terrible thing to me IRL which I won't get into details of because it's not necessarily something to be posting about due to its seriousness.
But a much less prominent wrong she did (and one I guess I can post), instead of fixing right answers marked wrong she admitted to, she instead took points off because in her words, "I see it fit"... screwing me twice make it right, I guess? I TA a class too, and I'd probably lose sleep if I were to do either of those things like a complete asshole.
That terrible cunt makes pls no ty look like an angel by any standard. He's not representative of the average Turk judging from what too many Turks tell me about the folks in the villages, or any city not Istanbul. He's a lot more mannered and civil than them.
DAMASCUS, Syria — Syrian rebels declared their control over the city of Nawa in the western countryside of Daraa — 85 kilometers (53 miles) south of Damascus and only 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from the border with Israel — on Nov. 9, after battles began Nov. 1 against the regime’s forces in the region. The fighting ended with the “liberation” of areas formerly controlled by the Syrian army, taken during the “Demolition of the Wall,” a rebel operation that brought down the army’s first line of defense of the capital against attack from the south.
Rebel fighters were able to break the regime siege of the town of al-Shaykh Maskin, near Daraa, on Nov. 6. They penetrated the town through battles that led to the fall of Brigade 82, one of the Syrian army’s largest military bases. Rebels then broke into the town and opened the road between al-Shaykh Maskin and the city of Nawa on Nov. 6. This was how rebel fighters were able to cut the supply routes of the Syrian army and lay siege to its positions, which accelerated their total control over the area.
The fall of the area to the rebels closed the door on the Syrian army in the northern triangle of the Hauran plain, which includes the city of Nawa, al-Shaykh Maskin and Sheikh Saad, which fell to the rebels on July 15. This triangle constituted a military safe zone for the Syrian army in the south and the center from which to launch operations in the region.
A military source in the Syrian army, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Al-Monitor, “The army's control over the past few months was limited to the roads leading to the region through agricultural and rugged areas, while militants controlled the main roads to these villages.” The source said, “The areas controlled by the Syrian army and the opposition-controlled regions overlap, which explains the ongoing confrontations on the frontlines there. The fall of these regions had a negative impact on the old road between Damascus and Daraa as militants took full control of Nawa, al-Shaykh Maskin and Brigade 112, to put pressure on the main road and cut off supplies to the Syrian army in Daraa.”
