Islamic State Terrorists Brutally Execute Men by Smashing Concrete Blocks onto Their Heads

DAILY EXPRESS: ISLAMIC State terrorists brutally executed two men accused of murder by smashing concrete blocks onto their heads.

Horrific images have emerged showing the Islamists lifting the large blocks above their heads as they shadow over the men cowering on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs.

The next photos show horrendous images of blood spattered across the road and dripping down the side of a pavement as a shouting crowd cheers the executors on.

Both men were bludgeoned to death in Nineveh province in northern Iraq after the Islamic police arrested them for allegedly robbing and killing three women.

The execution is known as a 'qisas' punishment, or an 'eye for an eye' retribution.

The pictures come in the same week as two other men were shown on social media being beheaded by Islamic State militants with a huge machete in the Syrian village of Jarnyah, west of Raqqa.

It is thought they were executed after being accused of practicing sorcery.

Last week militants stoned two gay men to death seconds after they were photographed embracing and 'forgiving' them. » | Alix Culbertson | Friday, May 01, 2015

Repent or Die: Al-Qaeda Forces Announce Rules for Iraqi Territory They Now Control

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: ISIS, the al-Qaeda group that has swept through northern Iraq, releases list of rules that citizens must live by: [sic] including 'repent or die'

The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham has set out a list of rules for residents of Mosul as it seeks to impose its Islamist rules on Iraq's second city.

Referring to the area by its ancient name, Nineveh, the group says it has a clear set of instructions for the remaining occupants of the city and surrounding area.

Firstly it tells "anyone who is asking," who its members are and what it is about: "We are soldiers of Islam and we've taken on our responsibility to bring back glory of the Islamic Caliphate."

All Muslims in the city have been instructed to attend mosque for the five daily prayers.

It confirms that it seized up to half a billion dollars from the Mosul branch of the Bank of Iraq but states it can be trusted with the funds.

Any one of its members who breach[es] this promise will have their hands cut off.

"No drugs, no alcohol and no cigarettes allowed," it added. » | Damien McElroy | Thursday, June 12, 2014
