ISIS Executes Pigeon and Bird Breeders in Diyala, Iraq
NBC News ^ | January 17, 2015 | BY F. BRINLEY BRUTON

Raising doves and pigeons is a deadly pursuit in ISIS-controlled Iraq.

The popular hobby is in the sights of extremist Islamist fighters, who this week rounded up 15 boys and young men in the eastern province of Diyala for pursuing a pastime now deemed un-Islamic. Three have already been executed.

The recent crackdown on bird breeders stems from ISIS' need for new fighters to battle the Iraqi and Syrian governments, as well as residents' growing desperation, according to the security official.

Suspicion of bird-breeders stems from the fact they tend to feed their animals at the same time devout Muslims traditionally hold their first of five daily prayers.

This distrust has prompted some clerics to issue fatwas against bird breeders.

For some poor families in Iraq, pigeon or dove is their only meat on the table.

Eventually even Muslims may tire of all this nonsense.

That may be, but ISIS figures if the whole family is dead than they don’t need to eat anything.

  This distrust has prompted some clerics to issue fatwas against bird breeders.

  Bird breeders are possibly the least offensive people on the planet and yet they've offended the religion that is perpetually offended.

Like most cult members, the Muslims seem very impressionable.

So far, we have only seen these members engage in atrocities against others. If the CIA learned anything in all their years of attempting mind control, perhaps some of that info could be put to use in convincing the Muslims to embark in a mass suicide, all at once, on a global level. No suicide vests needed! They all can go to their ‘paradise’ together at the same time. Mohammad and billions of virgins (or even goats) await!

Ah, what a wonderful world!

I thought at first this article was a joke- bird breeders a threat! Those ISIS people need to receive total destruction. Brute beasts fit only to be destroyed.

“”ISIS’ need for new fighters””

Well, execution certainly isn’t the way to solve the problem.

This one-killing people who breed pigeons-may go down as the ISIS equivalent of Pol Pot’s killing of people who wore glasses. Can a terrorist jump the shark?

When the hell is one of those imams going to issue a fatwa against all members of ISIS?

Oh, that’s right, I must be dreaming.

Let me play a little James Taylor and I’ll mellow out.

“”Yeah, but Hussein Obama and David Cameron say Islam is soooooo peaceful.””

We finally have many more people speaking up about this evil..good to see them getting air time. Pretty soon even the dumb ones will have to concede the fact that what we’re seeing has no right to take up space on this earth...

Very similar to the way Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia played out, with ever-increasing catalogs of capital offenses for incredibly minor things.

That’s what happens when 1st cousin marriages are allowed.

Funny how all the european countries are throwing thier military at these threats they cant control. The only way to stop it dead in its tracks is to bomb the sh## out of the source or sources “cut off the head of the snake” which they have no balls to do. 1 million marched in france in solidarity with thier feckless leaders arm in arm, merkel states that islam is a part of Germany and holland sez he will protect the muslim religion just like any other in his country. The one million strong are dreaming if they think these cretans will do whats right to stop this

The more you make life a living hell the more people you have that are willing to blow themselves up.
