| 2014-11-20 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Egyptian popular music singer Shaaban Abdel Rahim received death threats after the release of his song in which he mocks and condemns 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.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) Death Eater group, the Arabic website for the Al Arabiya News Channel reported. ISIS supporters attacked Abdel Rahim on several social media platforms, Al Arabiya.Net reported, adding that they issued several fatwas, or edicts, decreeing his death. To which Abdel Rahim responded: "I will leave it to God." The veteran artist received a phone call Tuesday morning from a man who spoke in a "Levantine accent," he told Al Arabiya.Net. After questioning Abdel Rahim about his song, the man warned the singer he could be "assassinated" for mocking the Death Eater group and its self-proclaimed emir, His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... . In his song, the singer addresses Baghdadi as a bored "Emir of criminals" and describes ISIS turbans a "bunch of crazies." |
