ISIS bans shaving beards, blows up west Mosul mosque
[RUDAW.NET] In recent days, the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... , or ISIS, has blown up the biggest mosque in the occupied city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... 's western Badoush neighborhood and reiterated its ban on the shaving of beards, a source inside Mosul and a Kurdish official have told Rudaw. According to Ismat Rajab, a Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) official based in Mosul but now in Duhok, the jihadists destroyed the Badoush mosque because it reportedly had a grave that went against the ultra-conservative ideology of the Islamic State. A ban on shaving, issued earlier this year by ISIS holy mans, was stressed again during Friday prayers. "Yesterday, in all Mosul mosques, preachers threatened men that if they shaves their beards they would be punished because it is against the Islamic Sharia law," a Ruday source inside said. In early March, it was reported that ISIS bully boyz used explosives to demolish the much-loved 19th century Hamo mosque, deeming it sacrilegious. Mosul fell in early June after the rapid capitulation by the Iraqi military, whose members reportedly abandoned their posts as the jihadists advanced. Posted by: Fred 2015-05-10 |
