The latest UN Human Rights Office report on ISIS has warned that the group has executed scores of people just on the Iraqi side of its territory in the past month, and is increasingly resorting to the use of the death penalty for even minor infractions.
While a lot of those slain are killed for banditry or spying, ISIS’ morality police are also quick to carry out summary executions, with the backing of ad hoc Sharia courts, for things like watching soccer.
This was, of course, entirely expected as ISIS gains power, but they had held off on imposing some of their harshest viewpoints as law in months past for fear of alienating powerful tribal leaders.
Increasingly, it seems, ISIS is willing to risk angering those tribes with enforcement of its rules, even though at times it has fueled fights, particularly in Syria where a strict smoking ban fueled a violent backlash against ISIS police.
A moral perspective
(1) The greatest crime against humanity has to be the creation of NATO, as the greatest act of terrorism is to explode things that are being dropped by NATO warplanes.
(2) In the Islamic State, to teach children a sports morality, that it is fun most glorifying to walk over the body of a weaker kid, this is a crime punishable by death. So, unless one is a pacifist, most hypocritical is it to object to such a law.
(3) Surely the UN has to be about the most satanic creation devised by Empire USA, surely to except their word for anything would lock you in absolute mental darkness.
ISIS and Boko Haram in Africa are plagues that the UN must unite to eradicate. AUSRADIERUNG !
US executing scores across the globe.
If ISIS continues their policy of increasingly harsh punishments for lesser and lesser offenses (real or imagined) we won't have a problem for very long; it will implode under it's own oppression. When the low-level 'offenders' have been eliminated, they'll start looking for the ones who are now the mid-level folks and eliminate them as well, and eventually everyone will be looking at the top guy for any hint of deviance from the program- and when that happens, it's game over. It happens the same in every police state- everyone spies on everyone else, and guess who gets reported for treason or blasphemy when you get in an argument with your neighbor?
