Islamic State Chops Off Women's Hands for Using Cell Phones

[IBTIMES] Jihadists with 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group in Syria and Iraq reportedly cut off the hands of three women and whipped five men for violating a cell phone ban in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, Iraq. The group also known as ISIS has warned that anyone caught using a cell phone would be subject to public whippings or worse.
We're looking at the Islamic equivalent of Pol Pot.
ISIS opposes all phone use amid concerns residents will share sensitive information that would help the U.S.-led Arclight airstrike campaign against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, media reports indicate. The coalition has targeted ISIS fighters since August, with at least 20 Arclight airstrikes in Mosul.

The cell phone ban and subsequent punishments appear to be the latest acts of violence and brutality from ISIS, which made swift advances in Iraq last summer and has turned Raqqa, Syria, into its capital. In recent weeks, ISIS fighters reportedly forced Syrian civilians to donate blood for maimed fighters. Female Yazidi hostages also were required to give blood. "Forcing civilians to donate blood is prohibited and inhuman, especially since the IS group does so randomly, regardless of the type of blood," al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper news hound Jiwan Soz told ARA News. "The group is drawing blood in a primitive way without using the medical tools necessary for this process."

ISIS has long prohibited behaviors such as drinking alcohol, cursing, smoking and other acts deemed "haram," or sinful. Most recently, the severed head of an ISIS official reportedly was found last month in eastern Syria with a cigarette in its mouth. "This is not permissible, sheik," read a note attached to the corpse in Arabic, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
