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.

Beheading = barbaric, yes, but witches do exist!

Remember, the little boy that was suspended for
having a “magic” ring....would be beheaded under
Sharia law.

No imagination allowed, it is haram!

We can’t criticize. Remember, don’t throw stones when you live in glass houses. After all, we Christians had the Salem Witch trials 400 years ago.

Not an unusual practice in Saudi Arabia. Sorcery & witchcraft are forbidden

Salem witch trials in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693 give these guys a total pass. See, White people in the past did something similar...so Arabs can kill witches... Who are we to be on our high horse?

Does any one think they can frighten these liberals, socialists and communist by telling them that ISIS has just beheaded a “WITCH”. They truly believe that if they can join with the ISIS, once they have totally eliminated all conservatives, they can talk these Muslim ISIS into a gentler way of life.

I’m guessing Harry Potter is not popular in the ISIS book clubs.
