ISIS executes 13 Iraqis for watching football game between Iraq and Jordan in Mosul
2015-01-23
[Iraq News] The ISIS organization executed 13 Iraqi youths in the city of Mosul as punishment for watching a football game between Iraq and Jordan in the Asian Cup that took place on Monday, January 12th.

According to an informed source in Mosul, members of the ISIS organization dragged the âconvicted young peopleâ to the big sports arena in Yarmouk neighborhood, and read out a statement confirming that the death penalty was a result of âwatching something forbidden, coming from the west (the football game),â before shooting them dead.

The source, who requested not be identified, added, âAges of the executed did not exceed 18 years. Their bodies were left in the arena, and their parents could not pull them out fearing arrest by the ISIS members, as punishment for leaving their children watching the game.â

#6  If we ever regain control of the parts of Iraq taken by Islamic State, then the IS butchers we capture need to be 'processed'... Agriculture requires fertile soil. COMPOST TIME!

#5  Never seen a pure meterball player do well in the hand coordination (other than goalies). Ranger Up's T-Rex Hates Hand Grenades flashes.

Much better to have them on the field waiving their government flags.

Allen hates fun. Mo hates gatherings which are not about him. And cheering for either team legitimizes what ISJV has declare illegitimate. That makes those teenager boys enemies of islam and enemies of the ISJV.

A voice in the attic said, "All that for a flag?"

#4  Are you crazy that would be like sending TedWilliams to fight the Nork's.

No,, wait

More like sending Reggie Jackson to fight the Cong.

WOT if Ted does get refitted all religious bets are off. Would I fly with a 170 year old Ted? Hell yes!

Williams talking to HalfEmpty as a child, poor HE had great twitch response but the eyesight of a 20 year old beagle. His attempts to sniff out the hanging curve nearly ended in tragedy.

#3  I'm a little confused by the fact that the soccer match was between Iraq and Jordan. What is Iraq doing?

If my country is involved in a civil war or invasion (what IS going on there?) and has lost control of at least 25% of the country I wouldn't expect sports teams to be playing as though nothing of consequence was going on. Aren't soccer players of age to fight?

#1  Sports does seem over-hyped, but this response is excessive.
