DAESH's latest targets for murder - teenage football fans and pigeon breeders

When the murderous barbarians of DAESH (see previous posts) who like to call themselves the "Islamic State" are not enslaving and raping any non-Sunni women they can catch, beheading harmless aid workers for trying to help sick children, or throwing gay men off the top floor of the nearest 100-foot tower block, they have apparently found a new set of targets - teenage football fans and young pigeon breeders.

According to a local activist group called "Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently" DAESH extremists executed 13 teenage boys for watching the Asian Cup football match between Iraq and Jordan last week.

The young football fans had been caught watching the game on television in the Iraqi city of Mosul, which is controlled by the so called "Islamic State."
 
And now we learn of allegations by a local security official that DAESH fighters have arrested 15 pigeon breeders aged between 16 and 22 in the Diyala province of Iraq after deciding that keeping birds is Haram because it might distract attention from the worship of Allah. Reportedly three of the young men concerned have been murdered.

Details are given here.

One should take any news of what is going on in the areas controlled by the so-called "Islamic State" with a bucketful of salt. However, my inclination is to suspect that these stories are probably at least based on truth because no propagandist worth their salt would dare make up a false allegation so totally and utterly ridiculous.

Of course, they might be hoping people would think exactly that, but there is nothing I would not put past the people who have reintroduced open slavery and industrialised murder on a scale rarely seen since Stalin, Mao, and Hitler.

If DAESH were only images in a comic cartoon and did not leave behind a trail of real people murdered, real women raped, parents mourning their murdered children and orphans mourning their murdered parents, they would be hysterically funny.
