Islamic State beheads man for “blasphemy”

IslamicStaterulesbySharia“Rights groups say ISIS has beheaded and stoned to death many people in areas it controls in Syria and Iraq for actions they see as violating their interpretation of Islamic law, such as adultery, stealing and blasphemy.” Actually, there is no established version of Islamic law that does not call for such punishments, despite the claims to the contrary of Islamic apologists in the West.

“ISIS in Syria beheads man for ‘blasphemy,'” Reuters, December 9, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann):

The militant Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) beheaded a man in northern Syria after accusing him of blasphemy, a militant website and a rights group said on Tuesday.

The man was killed in a public square in the town of Sulouk on Monday in front of a crowd that included children, the British-based Observatory for Human Rights said.

Rights groups say ISIS has beheaded and stoned to death many people in areas it controls in Syria and Iraq for actions they see as violating their interpretation of Islamic law, such as adultery, stealing and blasphemy. They have also killed a smaller number of foreign captives.

A statement posted on a jihadist website said the man admitted to blasphemy before being killed in the countryside of Raqqa province, which the hardline group controls.

The website included images of crowds at the square. One photo showed a blindfolded man kneeling with his head on a wooden block as a masked man in black raised a sword over his neck….

    Evil at work, with the blessings of the Oval office!

    How long did it take for the mighty US army to annihilate the powerful forces of Saddam Hussein? weeks?
    ObamA has no intention whatsoever to eliminate ISIS. He *is* ISIS.

      Robert Spencer,

      “Actually, there is no established version of Islamic law that does not call for such punishments, despite the claims to the contrary of Islamic apologists in the West.”

      The good use of your wit and laser sharp concentration to highlight crucial important points, just at the right moment, during the flow of text, is much appreciated!

    Once again, with all due credit to Robert Spencer, “interpretation” of Sharia law is a red herring. Kill means kill: stone means stone: cut means cut. It is a deceptively convincing code word for “application”.

    SCRUPULOUSLY ISLAMIC, rather than ‘nothing to do with Islam’.

    Our politicians can no longer deny that ISIS is scrupulously Islamic. They follow Sharia meticulously in all its minutiae.

    “Our politicians can no longer deny that ISIS is scrupulously Islamic.”

    Oh, yes, I’m sure they can–and will.

    It’s that imaginary interpretation of Islamic law that Ben Affleck and Reza Aslan defend with such ferociousness…that was dubbed the unicorn interpretation recently.

    The vicious beheading of that man for being critic of Islam is yet more proof that Islam is based not on logic or reason be on extreme emotion and feelings. For the Islamic clercs have no real bases to defend Islam. For Islam is not based or founded of reason of logic but feelings and emotion so they resort to deathly violence. In other words, the foundation of the doctrines of Islam is so very weak that that this religion can’t hold up to or stand up criticism.
