IS torches tons of food for Syria's Yarmouk Camp
2015-04-09
[RUDAW.NET] 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....
snuffies have torched tons of food meant for refugees at Yarmouk Camp in Damascus, according to reports.

The convoy carrying the supplies was forced to stop by ISIS fighters in the Syrian city of Halab, the Independent newspaper reported on Wednesday. A short time later, ISIS posted images of murderous Moslems burning the food aid on the group's social media accounts.

"The food, especially meat and chicken, was not prepared according to Islamic codes and it is not halal [permissible by Islam]," posted an ISIS leader from the Syrian city of Raqqa.

International humanitarian organizations in charge of delivering the food denied the ISIS claim, saying the meat was prepared according to Islamic rules.

Islamic State snuffies infiltrated the Paleostinian refugee camp of Yarmouk on April 1.

#7  The good news is that the Sods have declared eating your wife is halal; should buy another week or two.

#5  "I can't believe they would let refugees starve :("

Probably the same sort who'll wonder, as they get dragged out of their cars and beaten to death, why it's happening to them, since they're "good people" who always supported their assailants.

#4  I don't think they gave a damn whether it was or wasn't mo approved, it was going to the Yarmooks, who ISJV are attacking. If this was a quick check point or light attack vs. the convoy, they may not have had time to capture the food - so they burn it and say the rations were not mo approved to justify of sorts the burning.

I do like the comments (paraphrased):
"I can't believe they would let refugees starve :("

Newsflash junior. They are digging up mass graves of their war captives, think they give a damn if their enemy is short on food? Hell, probably lu lu ing for hours.

#3  What? No leftists screaming about the sufferings on poor Palestians? No LMeftists asking for sanctions or real military actiuon against IS? Why? I wonder.

#2  If I was ISIS, I wouldn't give a damn if it was halal or not, I would rather eat than starve. They can go against islamic law by robbing, drugs and so much other stuff but real devoted on the halal point.

#1  if it was really halal, wouldn't ISIS have simply stolen the food?

maybe they were confused by the labeling
