ISIS in Libya have released pictures of armed fighters burning musical instruments as the extremist group continues its propaganda assault in the north African country.
Pictures of the heavily armed masked militants watching while a pile of drums burnt in the Libyan desert were released earlier today - purportedly by the 'media wing' of the local group.
It is understood the brightly coloured instruments had been confiscated by the religious police, and were destroyed near the port city of Derna, in eastern Libya.
A message released with the pictures explains: 'Hesbah seized these un-Islamic musical instruments in the state of Warqa (we call it the city of Derna).
It adds they were 'burnt in accordance with Islamic law'.
Whether or not it actually is has been a point of some debate in the Islamic world, but Libya's ISIS recruits are not the first to burn instruments.
Earlier this year, religious police were filmed beating musicians and destroying their instruments as punishment for playing an 'un-Islamic' keyboard.
The men were pictured being hit across the back and legs with a wooden stick in a public square in Syria after ISIS's fanatical Islamic enforcers ruled the electric keyboard was 'offensive to Muslims'.

How is it that weapons developed since Mad Mo’ died are not haram?
Lest we get on our high horses, its important to recall how Christians burned unholy musical instruments in our past and remember they wouldn’t do this if they had living wage jobs.
I’m afraid I’ll have to wait to comment until I can learn the proper opinion from Marie Harf.
I remember people burning records. But, no one died. No one lost their heads, no one ran around with AK-47s, RPGs, and machine guns firing into the air. In fact, they got over it. Islam on the other hand has been performing actions like this for 1400 years without any change in policy
Exactly. I’ll never forget the time the Pope himself burned my fender strat during the crusades. ;-)
Think we can get ‘em to declare Auto-Tune to be un-islamic?
Is that you Barry?
:-)
Isn't practically everything offensive to Muslims?
Finally, something I can relate to from'em and they may be on to something here. Ever hear somebody with their new Walmart keyboard that has tracking? Hehehe. d;^)

Why drive in vehicles manufactured in Infidel countries and for that matter, why wear clothing made in the Imperial West? Let them go naked, without weapons and gasoline. Hey, they can't decapitate people with knives manufactured in the West or douse innocent victims with petrol made in the West! Hey and for that matter they can't light the gasoline with matches made in the West. OMG, they can't kill without using a Western product!
