    Along same note, story from NPR on Christians displaced from Mosul. Father claims that he had been back to Mosul since ISIS take over. His daughter was able to walk the streets without a head covering and she was even greated cordually by one of the gunman. This would indicate that not every armed individual controling the city is interested in enforcing strict Shria law.
