IS Punishes Cigarette Traders in Mosul

Islamic State militants in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul have vowed to punish anyone who sells cigarettes.
The Sunni militant group had already set out a number of laws in their wathiqat al-madina (charter of the city) that they presented to the people of Mosul back in early June.
Those who steal are punished by having their hands chopped off. The five daily prayers of Islam are mandatory for everyone. Drugs, alcohol and cigarettes are forbidden, as they do not align with the extremist Islamic views of purity.
IS insurgents have put 30 lashes as punishment for vendors selling or trading cigarettes, said a source from Ninevah Province. From now on, IS insurgents will apply the punishment on the people of the areas under its control.
Another eyewitness claimed that IS militants have gone so far as to forbid the act of smoking long ago, so naturally the buying and selling of cigarettes would be banned as well.
Since IS Militants took control of Mosul other Sunni areas in northern Iraq, they have imposed strict rules on the residents and outlawed a number of activities, which they believe are not in line with Muslim rules.

Our liberal elites do a similar thing... they do unspeakable horrible things to the human spirit then attempt to ‘wash it away’ by coming out against ‘sugar’ in food.
It’s an old tactic evil uses to distract attention away...

Cops shouldn’t be expected to enforce stupid laws in the first place. There’s a legislator pushing a harsher “Loosie law” here in Michigan and the NY death was exactly what my comment to him was about.

Hmm.. So what has ISIS done with Iraq’s major cash crop? Have they burned all the opium fields too?
