The 70 must have been Shi’ites. According to Islamic tradition, Aisha and Ali were at odds. When she was accused of adultery, Ali told Muhammad that he could easily just get another wife — she never forgave him for that. In 656, when Uthman was murdered and Ali was chosen as caliph, Aisha went into battle against the forces supporting Ali. She led troops against him in the Battle of the Camel. So to this day, Shi’ites, partisans of Ali, tend to denigrate Aisha. See, for example, the Shi’ite pranksters on this Sunni cooking show:
“‘I would kill you’: ISIS captive held by Kurds admits taking 70 lives,” by Hollie McKay, FoxNews.com, December 12, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Kurds in northern Iraq are holding hundreds of ISIS fighters prisoner, including one who told FoxNews.com in an exclusive interview that he killed as many as 70 people in the service of the radical jihadist army.
“Omar, “ a 25-year-old former Islamic State fighter from the Iraqi village of Dor sal-hadeen, said he killed scores of his countrymen and foreign contractors after joining “Daesh,” as ISIS is known in the region, in June. He said he fled the terrorist army in October, but was quickly captured by Kurdish security forces.
“They came to our area and forced me to protect their lands,” Omar said of his Islamic State commanders. “After a while they told me, ‘When are you going to start protecting your own land?’
“They told me to do it or die, and then they killed people in front of me,” said Omar, who is missing four fingers on his left hand from what he said was a 2009 industrial accident. The disability nearly got him killed by his ISIS handlers, he said, until he proved he could shoot right-handed.
Omar is currently being held in an undisclosed prison in Sulymaniyah, after being convicted of terrorism. He was initially sentenced to death, but a judge commuted the sentence to life in prison.
Sipping the tea provided by his Kurdish captors during the FoxNews.com interview, Omar insisted he was an ISIS victim – and even pledged to join the fight against them.
But victim or not, Omar said he became a prolific killer for ISIS, by his count racking up 70 executions in a matter of months. He claimed he killed his victims with rifle shots, and was chillingly candid about why he did it.
“Because they were saying bad words about A’isha [one of Mohammad’s wives, known as the “mother of believers”] and burning a mosque,” he said, adding that he did not receive any type of reward from ISIS leaders for the large number he killed.
Asked if he felt remorse, Omar replied said he “did not act on my own will.” That claim drew a sharp rebuke from the commander of the facility’s department of investigation, prompting Omar to say he deflected blame because he was uncomfortable around women….
