By Mariam Karouny BEIRUT (Reuters) - In the cities and towns across the desert plains of northeast Syria, the ultra-hardline al Qaeda offshoot Islamic State has insinuated itself into nearly every aspect of daily life. Syria's eastern province of Raqqa provides the best illustration of their methods. In the provincial capital, a dust-blown city that was home to about a quarter of a million people before Syria's three-year-old war began, the group leaves almost no institution or public service outside of its control. It is impressive," one activist from Raqqa who now lives in a border town in Turkey told Reuters.
I mean just look at how impressive they are! Look at all the good theyre doing! And its all free!
