The Tip of the Iceberg of ISIS in Iraq

I was searching this morning for a map I found during the last two days but was unable to find it. It showed the records of how many directly were killed who were civilians (650 here in Tikrit) 750 in Mosul and similar types of figures.

However, these are only the tip of the iceberg for what actually happens in reality in these regions. When even one person is killed in a region the word spreads fast and usually not very accurately through rumor. This terrifies the whole region through these rumors. If people don't have vehicles that are fast enough to escape Isis often people run out into the deserts in 120 plus degrees Fahrenheit and unless they are well fed and young and strong enough thousands of people die there in the wilderness of the deserts which is what has happened this whole summer long in Iraq. Then, ISIS confiscates the property of all Shias, Christians and Tazidis and Turkmen and other minorities which completely devastates entire regions. When all the leaders and businessmen of a region are killed or run away, anyone who doesn't run is also likely to die because the complete infrastructure of a region collapses.

What is left is an army of warlords that do not necessarily maintain enough infrastructure for the majority of people there to survive. Also, any women desireable to the ISIS fighters will be taken and become sex slaves or worse and the same with whatever children are there too. Except the boys will also be turned into child soldiers and convinced to become suicide bombers for ISIS at age 13 to 16 or younger. So, the entire region becomes like a MAFIA or worse type of region. So, the numbers of 650 killed here and 750 killed there are all civilians. But, the real story is the end of civilization as anyone has known it there for about the last 500 to 1000 years. Very few survive whether they are Sunni on not in a warlord environment like this. And more are driven insane by being raped constantly and watching their children die also every single day. What has happened from ISIS in Both Northern Iraq and Syria is basically the end of civilization there. There hasn't been anything this bad since before World War I and World War II.

Don't expect these areas to fully recover for 20 to 30 years from this or even then.

I stupidly went to Google Images and typed in "ISIS Killing Maps" but what I found there was actually pretty horrifying. About 1 in 10 of the pictures were actual maps and the rest were pictures of hundreds of dead people in mass executions and one huge dump truck filled with bodies. I was really sorry I looked for the maps after that.
