Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State: Jail for skinny jeans, music, smoking

Apr 4, 2015 3:10 pm By Robert Spencer

Skinny-jeansAnd if you’re smoking while listening to music and wearing skinny jeans, I shudder to think. Sharia Alert from the caliphate: “ISIS threaten to jail any Jihadis wearing skinny jeans or having music on their phones,” by Mhairi Macfarlane, Mirror, April 3, 2015:

Islamic State terrorists have banned skinny jeans as part of their crackdown on freedom of expression.

Any hipsters wearing the trendy jeans, listening to music on their mobile phones, or smoking, could be jailed by the terrorists for ten days.

They would also be forced to take an Islamic course and to stay in prison until they pass, it was reported in Raqqa, Syria.

The new laws were revealed by the anti-ISIS campaign group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS).

A ban on listening to music is not new to Sharia law, but RBSS says the terror group is cracking down on the behaviour of jihadis with tougher rules.

Jassem, a Syrian resident, told the group: “Freedom of expression has become a crime, so you can not oppose a decision issued by the group,” the Mail Online reports….

Sounds like what the West is getting to be like, if you oppose jihad and Sharia.

ISIS stepped up its anti-smoking campaign last month by carrying out a second mass cigarette burning.

Photographs taken in the northern town of Barqah, close to the border with Turkey, show the group’s religious police force setting light to vast piles of cigarettes in a field.

ISIS also put up anti-smoking posters featuring images of burning human lungs to scare militants into packing in smoking.

If they keep that up they’ll become…a darling of the Left.

        Pious Muslims. Thousands of the are rushing to live in the Islamic State.

    “Islamic State: Jail for skinny jeans, music, smoking”

    Is that what young Western Muslims are going there for? Perhaps it’s to clean toilets for the local Arabs or catch bombs for them or stand up on the front line in order to locate fire from the Allied and Iraqi armies.

    What’s with these licentious ISIS Fashion Police? They condemn skinny jeans (what hadith do they cite?) but they make no mention of the hell-bound sin of isbaal (wearing trousers than cover your ankles)? Isbaal is roundly condemned by Muhammad (pbuh) himself, but it’s okay with ISIS? What’s the ummah coming to? For the Prophet’s (and therefore Allah’s) opinion on isbaal, see, for example,

    Muslims seem to relish killing people for any perceived infraction, no matter how petty.

    How long before Muslims claim the atmosphere or all water on the planet, and kill people for breathing oxygen and drinking water? Non Mulims may be required to wear aqualungs or face decapitation

    Isis has nothing to do with Islam

    The 147 killed who couldn’t recite the Koran were not killed for religious reasons.

    Those with skinny jeans need our financial support.

    We need to spend more money on Koran lessons in Kenya.

    Isn’t Turkey a major tobacco grower? If so, and the ISIS crowd is so totally 9 more so then before) anti-smoking, wouldn’t that negatively impact the Turkish economy?

    Could this be why Turkey, NOW, is stopping some wannabe jihadists at their borders/ That if they join ISIS, they will join the anti-smoking brigade?

    And, while on the topic of smoking, don’t Muslims smoke hashish and some other mind altering wed or plant?

    • Huck Folder says

      Apr 4, 2015 at 11:35 pm

      Do they roll their spliffs with pages from “The Book of Hate™”? That would boost the potency tenfold.

    I just wish that Old Navy had the courage to make this into some kind of funny commercial. I can see it now: They parade some brightly colored skinny jeans on models near mock members of the Islamic State, and their deals and fashions are so good that the Islamists toss away their guns and knives and go skipping off into the sunset to an Old Navy sale to buy skinny jeans…

    The end of the commercial could be a golden, shining image of an actor playing Muhammad, and him shrugging and saying, “Well, I can’t blame them” and the camera could pan back and show that he is also wearing some skinny jeans.

    Fundamental Islam is a treasure trove of comedic parodies– it’s just horrible that they kill people for drawing pictures and making jokes.

      “I just wish that Old Navy had the courage to make this into some kind of funny commercial.”

      Ha! That would’ve been perfect!

      And yep, you know they’d never have the guts do to it. Never.

      Lesley you could draw old mo in a pair of skinny jeans. send it to Pam. and she could put in the show she is having.

    Interesting how the ME was once a thriving place for art, music, dance, and poetry. Then Muhammad created a theology with no place for anyone to love another more than loving Muhammad and Allah. Love for others and concern for the human condition creates the arts.

    Jesus said: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

    Mohammad said: “Beat your wive(s), and kill those whose poetry and music offends me”

    He began the Islamic Dead Poets Society, starting with Al-Nadr bin al-Harith, Uqba bin Abu Muayt, Asma bint Marwan, Abu Afak, Kab bin al-Ashraf, Ibn Malik, etc. Any rational person could only conclude that the Arab Godfather, Muhammad, set the example of driving out anything that could express criticism of his poor behavior or his copying of ancient myths and legends.

    There once was a man named Muhammad,
    Who started out life as a Nomad.
    In his mind was a corked-up genie.
    He had a fit,
    Got Allah’s words from it,
    and soon became a meanie.

    He invented a verse,
    For most things perverse,
    To assuage any guilt,
    For the brutality he built,
    On hatred of jews,
    And supremacist views.

    They are obviously following the doctrines of Khomeini although he was Shia.
    *“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”
    – Ayatollah Khomeini, 1979
    Anyone joining IS in the hope of a pleasant life is going to be sorely disappointed. Of course if they want to spend their lives on their knees praying (when not killing) they are right on the money.

    I hear that ISIS held territories are rapidly (rabidly?) returning to the Dark Ages. They are running out of clean water, antibiotics and other staples of survival. Before long they will be dying in hundreds of diseases which the kufr cured decades ago.

    May God forgive me but I really couldn’t care less if they did.

    My jeans tend to be skinny because I look good in them and I like my clothing slim and tailored. Now I can take some pride in the fact that they pushing me even closer towards being an exemplary kafir.

    If not for the bloodshed and violence, this stuff would be comedy gold. Hopefully, they’ll declare oxygen un-Islamic soon and suffocate.

    Boy , I thought that Ayatollah Khomeini was a fun sucker when he said ” that you can not sell camel meat to your own village after you have had sex with the camel and killed it ! “… And then this comes along ….

    When you consider that music soothes the savage beast, it’s understandable why ISIS has prohibited it. They fear it will have a pacifying affect on their agitated and bloodthirsty warriors.

    The soothing influence of music is generally acknowledged in every CIVILIZED nation.

  20. Lioness says

    Apr 5, 2015 at 10:22 am

    ANY jeans, skinny or otherwise, should be prohibited by Islam, as the original denim jeans were first made by Levi Strauss, a JEW. Not to mention that jeans are symbol of America. So jeans are not compatible with “Death to America, Death to the Jews” motto.

      Great point! Continued stench of hypocrisy. Where are the bans on ALL things Western, i.e., Twitter & cell phone video-taking? Without these how long would they be able to show the world the strides they are making? LOL.

    I think it’s very funny seeing ISIS punishing ISIS for the most trivial of reasons, ” Keep it up boys” I say, I’d like to see more ISIS beheading ISIS though like when they beheaded one of their commanders for smoking, that taught him a lesson, after all the cigarettes might have killed him eventually, if he’d still been alive.

    Islamic State: Jail for skinny jeans, music, smoking
    …………………………….

    But beheading journalists and aid workers, using Christians and Yazidi women as sex slaves, letting children play with severed heads, stoning women to death, and committing genocide are perfectly Halal. Muslim values in action.

    God, I hate Islam.

    I would love to see the expression on Al Baghdadi’s face if all the men in Syria took to wearing Borats ‘mankini’ in protest to the skinny jeans ban.
