ISIS Atrocities
Siege of Mount Sinjar
Between August 3rd and 14th of 2014, Islamic State forces cut off and surrounded thousands of Yazidi civilians on Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq. At least 500 men were slaughtered execution style, with an unknown number of women being captured and sold into slavery. At least 70 children were reported to have died of thirst, while at least 50 of the elderly perished.
2) Hostage Beheadings
While these could be categorized as separate incidents, they are all similar in their horrific nature. Hostages in orange jumpsuits are paraded helplessly in front of a camera, forced to read a propaganda script, and then subsequently beheaded slowly. Many of the victims were humanitarian aid workers. The victims thus far: James Foley and Steven Sotloff, American journalists. David Haines and Alan Henning, British humanitarian workers. Herve Gourdel, a French mountaineering guide in Algeria. Peter Kassig, a former Army Ranger and humanitarian worker. Haruna Yukawa and Kenji Goto Jogo, Japanese contractors. Hundreds of Syrian army and Kurdish Peshmerga soldiers have also been beheaded.
3) Crucifying Children
On February 4th, 2015 a newly released UN report revealed some of the most shocking Islamic State atrocities yet. Children are being killed by crucifixion, as well as being buried alive and sold into sex slavery. Included in this barbaric story is this report of a 17 year old boy crucified for 3 days by ISIS for allegedly taking photographs of ISIS headquarters.
4) 21 Coptic Christians lined up and beheaded in Libya
On February 15, 2015, ISIS released a video showing the beheading of 21 captured Egyptian men. All Coptic Christians, the video states "to the people of the cross". The massacre took place on a Libyan beach.
5) 45 Iraqis burned to death in al-Baghdadi
After capturing the key strategic town just 5 miles from Al Asad airbase, where 320 US Marines are stationed alongside Iraqi forces, ISIS rounded up 45 civilians in the town, some thought to be Iraq security forces and their families, and burned them all alive.
6) Burning of Jordanian pilot Muath Al-Kasaesbeh
On February 10th, 2015, ISIS released a horrific video showing the captured Jordanian pilot standing in a cage, doused with gasoline, and eventually set on fire before being crushed under a load of giant rocks.
7) Execution of 600 Iraqi captives
On June 10th, 2014, according to reports, ISIS took some 600 male prisoners out into the desert near Mosul, Iraq and initiated a mass execution. Approximately 30 men survived, by rolling into the mass grave along with the other dead bodies.
8) Beheading of 4 Iraqi children for refusing to convert to Islam
In December of 2014, it was reported that 4 Iraqi children under the age of 15 were beheaded after refusing to covert from Christianity to Islam.
9) Medieval torture of breastfeeding woman
After a Syrian woman was found breastfeeding in public, which is strictly against Sharia law, a group of all female religious police called the al Khansa brigade, tortured the woman with a bear trap like device clamped to her breasts.
10) 3,500 Yazidi women sold into sex slavery
long winded i know but that name isis sickens me to my core. child rape / murder of women and children that name has no place on a game server nor imop should it be allowed .
i would like to suggest that the usage of the name isis should be added to !B3 as an offensive word....
your thoughts and feelings......

Im of the opinion that a name is only rule breaking if it is obcene on its own, not the feelings and emotions that the name assosiates with.
Once we start barring names that we THINK are obscene, we get into an unenforceable grey area.
Yeah, ISIS sucks. Just dunk on the player using the name hard enough and they will quit of their own accord.
-
Apoc, your point is well made. I couldn't agree with you more.
The name is offensive , and what it stands for or the horror it represents.
What is the difference, a player using The N..... word or KKK for a NAME or TAGS.
THERE is none...I was on the server...And the name became a issue.
The name of FH... FALLEN HEROIES surely represents a supportive and worthy cause.
This clan does not need the support of players wearing tags or a NAME that represents that cowardly scum.
There is nothing gray about the name ISIS.
Nothing said here to be taken personal.
Lets don't be afraid to stand up and call it what it is. and screw this being political correct, Sanctimonious BS crap.
IT IS WHAT IT IS.
My opinion

Honestly, I could argue both sides of this coin.
I understand Godlike's concern that this could open the door for a lot more restrictions for names that people find offensive.
We have said racist, homophobic, and extreme swear words are not allowed in names. ISIS really doesn't fall into one of these categories. Not to say that there isn't a good argument for not allowing it, however.
We have had guests with the name Nazi and Naziboy and we've allowed them. We've had guests by the name Terrorist and A Terrorist. We've had players named Kill_Isis, Isis, SuicideBomber, SuicideKilla, and several other variations relating to Isis.
Obviously, not a one of us promotes or condones Isis and the evil that is at the core of their beliefs. The question is where do we draw the line for names that "we" find offensive?
Again, at this point we have said racist, homophobic, and extreme swear words are not allowed. If we add evil empires or terrorists, what names pass and which ones don't? Is it just having the name Isis or Isil?
