SYRIA-CONFLICT-ISLAMIST-POLICE

Young Syrians belonging to the so-called "Islamist Police" made up of local citizens, former opposition fighters as well as defected members of the regime forces sit at their office in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa on September 2, 2013. The group which runs on small donations, such as arms from opposition brigades, have been setting up security checkpoints in the rebel-held city to monitor cars, and respond to calls from people regarding crime or complaints, as fighting between opposition gunmen and regime forces continues to ravage the country. The text on the screen reads in Arabic: "Islamic Police" with religious text above that reads: "There is no God but God and Mohammed is his prophet."
