ISIS police sentence musicians to 90 lashes because they were playing an ‘un-Islamic’ electronic keyboard. Pigeon breeding also un-islamic.

Islamic State religious police have been 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 after ISIS’s fanatical Islamic enforcers ruled the electric keyboard was ‘offensive to Muslims’.

Another picture shows two keyboards and what appears to be a lute smashed to pieces after raids thought to have taken place in Bujaq, a few miles to the east of Aleppo in Syria.

Earlier today, it was reported that at least 15 pigeon breeders in eastern Iraq were rounded up after ISIS ruled the sport distracted them from praising Allah. Three of those held by the group in the eastern province of Diyala have reportedly been killed, according to a security official.

Abu Abdullah, a farmer, said a total of six gunmen barged into his home earlier this week and dragged away his 21-year-old son. Mr Abdullah’s son is just one of the 15 young men – all aged between 16 and 22 – who have reportedly been captured in the province for breeding birds.

Yesterday it was reported that 13 youngsters were killed by firing squad in Iraq’s second city of Mosul for watching an Asian Cup football match between Iraq and Jordan. Activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, which operates out of Syria, reported that the teenagers were shot in public and their bodies left there as their parents are too afraid to go and get them.

The boys’ ‘crime’ – breaking religious laws by watching football – was read out on a loudspeaker before their executions.

  1. In one of the hadiths “stringed instruments and flutes” are declared anathema: Mohammed proclaims that he came to break them, as well as crosses.

    A lute would certainly classify as a ‘stringed instrument’. Presumably these evil – and entirely, purely orthodox, obeying-the-hadith-to-the-letter – Mohammedan music-haters decided that a keyboard also fitted the bill.

    There is something horrible, truly antihuman about a belief system that attacks music and musicians…ALL music and musicians.

    And I am reminded of those other grimly, purely orthodox Muslims in Mali who proclaimed that they were in a Jihad “against all the musicians of the world”.

    Question: when they have killed every musician and smashed every musical instrument, will they then start in on the singing birds and the singing frogs and the singing cicadas and everything else in the entire planet that makes a sweetly pleasing sound? Will they try to root up the grass and cut down all the trees so as to silence the sound of the wind blowing through them? Will they dry up all the streams so that the tinkle of falling water may no longer be heard?

    Islam: hell on earth, where the only sound allowed to be heard is the screaming of the terrified and tormented victims, the howlings of rage. the gibbering of the demented and the grunting of the rapist.

  2. Technically a painoforte is considered a ‘stringed instument’ ie the notes are produced by hammers hitting strings. Therefore, by extension a Keyboard is considered,by these creatures, to be stringed. My heart bleeds for the lads watching the football game.

    Ward said he has completely recovered – both physically and mentally- from the neck injury. [url=http://www.coachhandbags.us.org/]coach handbags outlet[/url] Well I read this article and its comments with interest, yes I am the Chief Executive of SLAM Community Development Trust, and Ive registered as Im furious with some of the comments that some people of placed on this article. Firstly I will address the comment regarding the picture that has been used, that picture was not discussed with me and it is a picture that the newspaper have decided to use, it has nothing to do with me. Now lets address the comments of settheworldonfire, it appears this person has a problem, one thing for sure he has no idea what is happening with the project in Crook, and he knows even less about the project in Willington. But I will say this I have read with note some of his comments in the past where he has passed both derogatory comments about me personally and against the company I created, something Im very proud of. In an earlier post he inferred that I had been dismissed from my previous job as a Police Officer, quite simply not true I retired having completed my service, but I will give warning in respect of his comments which were removed by this newspaper but the matter has been passed to the company solicitors where action will be considered for defamation. Now lets look at the comments of 1946BC quite frankly this is the reason Ive registered and come on the site, where do you get your information FROM 1946BC. To say Spectrum have had £100k last year from the Council is a complete lie, so where did you get the information from….. did you make it up. The company accounts are public documents so go and look for yourself. Again 1946BC I will be taking this matter up with the Northern Echo and will be seeking advise regarding your false information that has been publicly displayed on a public forum. I would suggest a public apology on here to start with otherwise action will follow. I am involved in the project at Crook, you all make comments on here under nom de plumes yet none of you ask directly what is happening, Im more than willing for you to make an appointment and come and discuss the matter, I for one have nothing to hid, and I can speak on behalf of the Board of Crook Community Leisure, a board made up of professional people, they have nothing to hide. I cant comment on anything at the Fishing Centre, I never had anything to do with other than I can assure you that I have found Mr Winter to be nothing but professional in this project Some of you will argue ‘freedom of speech’ but that opinion needs to be based on fact not fiction and both 1946BC and settheworldonfire seem to be experts on providing misleading and factually incorrect information. As said I will be seeking legal advise in respect of your comments as well as seeking clarity from the Northern Echo[/p][/quote]HA !!!! …..FACTS ARE FACTS….Oh…By the way when are you putting yourself forward to become a local councilor?…Don-t say this is also slanderous and untrue as i have heard it from your own mouth…I also frequent Crook Town f.c…..I hope your pockets are deep to afford a libel action against myself or the Northern Echo….Or will you use your company lawers…Utter codswallop……SOME QUESTIONS THEN….. h [url=http://www.ralph-lauren.eu.com/]polo ralph lauren men[/url]

    Yet the Connecticut Mirror reports that outside groups spent about $18 million in independent expenditures to influence the race for governor. Most disturbing was the blatant circumvention of the restrictions that the Malloy campaign employed. The Connecticut Democratic State Central Committee received $5.1 million in its so-called “federal account,” operating under federal election rules and outside of Connecticut’s restrictions. Gov. Malloy then used much of that federal money to help him get re-elected. [url=http://www.michaelkors.co.com/]michael kors outlet[/url] 5 Be nice.
