Al Sumaria stated, “A sudden change occurred to ISIS mass media inside the city of Mosul through statements that the city is not the capital of the caliphate, contrary to the ideology followed by ISIS since 2014, that Mosul is the capital of its caliphate.” “The mass speech of ISIS started to focus on word taboo, saying that the fall of Mosul is not the end of the battle, by listing comparable situations in Islamic history how Muslims suffered many losses before achieving grand victories,” Al Sumaria added. The Iraqi media outlet also explained that the significant changes in the speech of the Islamic State were made, in order to prepare the public opinion for the near liberation of the city of Mosul by the joint security forces and raise the morale of its fighters and supporters in the remaining strongholds of the group whether in Anbar of Salahuddin. ISIS mullahs in Syria beat locals for smokin' and jokin' [ARA News] Damascus – Extremists of the Islamic State (ISIS) have publicly flogged a group of civilians south of the Syrian capital Damascus on charges of smoking and drinking alcohol, activists and eyewitnesses reported on Monday. Members of the ISIS-led Islamic Police, also known as Diwan al-Hisba, arrested several people in the Yarmouk District in the southern suburb of Damascus, on charges of violating the ISIS regulations. “The arrest campaign targeted smokers and alcohol drinkers,” local media activist Wassim Doughmush told ARA News. “At least seven people were punished in public for violating the Islamic State’s regulations,” the source said. Eyewitnesses reported that ISIS militants flogged every arrestee with 50 lashes each. “Hundreds of people witnessed the punishment in central Yarmouk,” an eyewitness told ARA News, speaking on condition of anonymity. ISIS militants have also burned a pile of cigarette packs and smashed several alcohol bottles in public. “The group has also executed two men in Yarmouk on charges of selling cigarettes and alcohol,” Doughmush reported. Invading Damascus, Imposing Sharia Law Last week, the Islamic State (ISIS) threatened to invade Damascus, Syria’s capital city. ISIS said that their invasion was imminent and vowed to strike at Syrian security forces and the armed opposition. “Fighters of the Caliphate are preparing to enter the heart of al-Sham [Damascus],” the extremist group said in a statement. In the same statement, ISIS promised to apply the Islamic State’s puritanical interpretation of Sharia law throughout the capital. ISIS has been in control of a residential block in southern Damascus since it drove out al-Qaeda-splinter group Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and allied rebel factions, in April 2015. Jahbat Fateh al-Sham was previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra. Al-Hajar al-Aswad neighbourhood is believed to be the Islamic State’s primary staging area. Their militants also control the nearby Yarmouk and Tadamun districts. ISIS has accused the rebel groups in Damascus of working on behalf of Assad’s government and being apostates. “The time has come for the Caliphate’s fighters to take al-Sham [Damascus] from the infidels and their mercenaries,” the extremist group said. Syrian journalist Mustafa Abde told ARA News that ISIS would likely try to open new fronts in southern Syria to direct attention from northern Iraq, where the group is hemorrhaging. Abde argued that: “This announcement comes after the group started to lose ground in Iraq amid deteriorating morale among its militants. ISIS is seeking new so-called victories to regain its reputation as a strong organisation.” Posted by: badanov 2016-11-01 |
