The Beatings Will Continue, Iraq Edition: ISIS warns militants against cutting hair braids
Hawija (IraqiNews.com) 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
has issued instructions warning bandidos snuffies against cutting their hair braids, a local source from Kirkuk province was quoted saying.

"IS made instructions through its media arm in Hawija, southwest of Kirkuk warning the bandidos snuffies against cutting their braids under any circumstance," the source told AlSumaria News on Monday. "The group set the hair braids as condition to accept new volunteers."

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source said, "the group ordered twenty lashes, one-week imprisonment and banning from joining three departments, with the security one on top, for whoever violates."

The group, according to the source, "considers the outfits of bandidos snuffies and the hair style as evidence on sticking to the group’s principles."

On Sunday, the group reportedly imposed curfew in Hawija after bandidos snuffies seized flyers urging them to leave the town without destruction like they did in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
and described them as ’pigs’

Hawija and other neighboring regions, west of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
have been held by IS since mid-2014, when the group emerged to proclaim an Islamic "caliphate" in Iraq and Syria. The group executed dozens of civilians and security members there, forcing thousands to flee homes.

Dozens of residents from Hawija and the regions in its vicinity escape to Kirkuk province on a daily basis. Despite the risky routes to the freed regions, the civilians prefer death to staying under IS control.
