One day after a top leader of ISIS’ religious police turned up beheaded in Mayadeen in the Deir Ezzor Province of Syria, reports now say that a number of the Hisbah police force have also been kidnapped by parties unknown.
The Hisbah police have been imposing harsh penalties on people for perceived religious violations, and have recently ramped up a campaign to crack down on public smoking.
Yesterday’s slain police leader had a cigarette in his mouth and the words “this is a sin” written on him, fueling speculation ISIS may have killed him for violating the rules he was charged to enforce.
With the revelation of these new kidnappings, however, also centered around Mayadeen, it now seems that anger over the crackdowns may be fueling blowback from local tribes unhappy with the restrictions they find themselves under, and unhappy with ISIS’ extremely strict interpretation of Sharia Law.
Religious, especially the neo Islamic fascism, has two side, one is to implement the Islamic fascism rule by all means which maximally controls the people freedom. In a non democratic social system the duty of the police force is to control the people rather then protecting people from wall street thieves.
Gee I'm sure this wouldn't be happening if the US wasn't spending millions of dollars bombing the daylights out of.. something over there somewhere.
Strict anti-vice enforcement may also have been troublesome to operatives with much easier access to Iraq in the post-Saddam era. But it's easy enough to believe that discipline is breaking down 'strictly' within ranks…
“You have read that it was spoken by Moses, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ I now say to you, Do not use force to overcome evil. Matthew 5:37
Which begs the question, as it is preached by most all Christians, Jews and Muslims that we must use force to overcome evil, is it because the deity that they worship is so weak and helpless that he needs man to do his killing?
For if the purpose of this world is to reach the ultimate conclusion of force, then those most in need of our greatest pity, surely they are the ones claiming to have the greatest light.
Guest — “Islamic fascism… maximally controls the people”
You name me one person the the face of this earth, one who uses deadly force to protect his religion or government, who is not equally corrupted in the process?
I hope these reports are accurate. It doesn't really matter who is responsible or why this is happening. It is positive regardless. All coercive "religious police" should receive the same fate.
Either the oppressed citizenry is retaliating or the hyenas are now eating one another.
