ISIS behead man... for WITCHCRAFT: Barbaric execution for 'invoking magic' [truncated]
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 9, 2015 | John Hall

Militants fighting for the Islamic State in Syria have publicly beheaded a man for allegedly practicing witchcraft - the latest in a long line of barbaric executions carried out by the terror group. The unknown man was photographed being killed by a masked executioner in a village just outside ISIS' stronghold and de facto capital Raqqa while a large crowd looked on. Precise details of the victim's so-called crime are not known, but the charge of witchcraft and 'invoking magic', and the use of an axe and wooden chopping block to carry out the beheading do little to counter claims that ISIS are little more than murderers with a Dark Age view of the world.

... claims that ISIS are little more than murderers with a Dark Age view of the world.

Maybe, but there is big money behind them. Until we target the sources, ISIS isn't going away. Dark Age Murderers are a thousand dollars a dozen, over there.

Muslims beheading Christians doesn’t seem to bother libtards at all, but rather instills smug feelings of “They’re Christians and they had it coming.” Perhaps the savages beheadings of witches will get the libtards attention.

For those adhering to 7th century thought, most everything is magic.

The man probably started his car with a remote key fob.

No doubt, Obama will remind us that Christians also abused witches, as documented in the Monty Python documentary researching King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail.

Target the sources?
That would be the Koran and the Hadith.

A kid in Texas was accused of witchery for using a Harry Potter ring to threaten to make another kid disappear.

That little perp got off lucky — he only got suspended from school.

How soon before idiot school administrators institute the more severe form of punishment?

They are freedom fighters just as fire fighters fight fires and crime fighters fight crime.

Isn’t this like a civil war? Or the pot calling the kettle black?
