| Documents show ISIS obsessions: beards and concubines |
| 2016-11-02 |
| [Ynet] After conquering villages in northern Iraq, ISIS spells out in great detail their system of rules; 'Pre-pubescent girls can be taken as concubines. You cannot have penetrative sex but you can still enjoy them.' After ISIS conquered villages in northern Iraq, it spelled out in minute detail the rules of its self-proclaimed caliphate, from beard length to alms to guidelines for taking women as sex slaves. ISIS documents and posters, obtained in villages captured by Iraqi forces, highlight a tight and comprehensive system of rule by the bully boys, who went to great lengths to explain their myrmidon philosophy. The documents and other materials, printed with ISIS logos, were found by Rooters in offices used by the group until a few days ago. Members of the Iraqi forces told Rooters the documents originated from ISIS, although this could not be independently verified. Iraqi security forces and Kurdish peshmerga fighters have seized several villages and towns during an offensive against the northern city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , ISIS's last stronghold in the country. When ISIS swept through the north in 2014, it announced a self-proclaimed caliphate, which appealed to some fellow Sunnis who felt marginalized by the Shi'ite-led central government. But that appeal faded as ISIS enforced its medieval thinking with brute force, beheading anyone deemed an opponent. Slick, colorful posters, pamphlets and documents highlight ISIS's intense focus on dictating what it called proper Islamic behavior for the citizens of its caliphate. Violations of its rules meant punishment such as public whipping or being hauled off to Mosul for execution, according to several villagers who recently beat feet from ISIS areas. A green wallet-size insert lays out guidelines for how to pray properly. It shows a young boy undertaking ablutions. "Wash your feet from the direction of your toes down to your heels," it said. Gold bracelets A five-page pamphlet with pictures of gold bracelets, diamond rings and wheat on the front spelled out instructions on how to give alms, an obligation under Islam. Failure to do so would mean a penalty. In the village of Shura, where seven ISIS jacket wallahs were recently rubbed out as they rushed toward Iraqi forces, murderous Moslems kept meticulous records of who had given alms. Entries showed whether an individual owned gold, property or a car. Monthly salaries were also noted. Unlike al Qaeda, its predecessor in Iraq, ISIS made its name in the jihadi world by becoming the first bully boy group to capture significant amounts of land in the Middle East, hold it and then set up an administration. But air strikes by a US-led coalition targeting ISIS's leaders and its sources of income have dealt a major blow to the caliphate. |
