My article this week was about 800 people being killed in the Syrian of Kobani in the last 40 days. Most of the deaths have been ISIS militants and Syrian Kurdish fighters battling for the control over the key city according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. This group figured out the amount of casualties starting September 16, 2014, the day ISIS forces began their attack on Kobani. More than half of the people killed have been ISIS militants, 481, and were killed in car bombings, ambushes, and attacks led by a Kurdish female commander. Also, 302 Kurdish fighter were reported killed.
This article made me feel very please at the fact that people are fighting back against ISIS's reign of terrorism. Even though death isn't good, in this case I believe it's necessary for militants to die to protect innocent people. I stand against ISIS and believe that at all cost they must be stopped, and as we've talked about in class, most people agree with me. If the Kurdish fighters continue their efforts to defeat ISIS, innocent lives will be saved.
