An entire Kurdish family of eight killed in the liberation of western Mosul from ISIS militants were returned to the Kurdistan Region's Duhok city. The bodies of seven of them were returned and one is still missing. Their relatives hold the extremists accountable for the deaths of their loved ones. "[ISIS] have even come to take our land, to distort our religion. They came and demanded us to grow beards, to shorten our clothes," Ibrahim Younis, a Muslim preacher, told Rudaw. "Supposedly this is Islamic religion? No, Islam is the religion of tolerance."
