...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) group grabbed credit for an attack on a Sikh temple in Afghanistan's capital of Kabul that killed at least one worshipper and maimed seven others.

IS made the claim in a statement posted on its Amaq website late Saturday. It said the assault on ``the Sikh and Hindu temple'' was in response to alleged insults made against the Prophet Muhammad, the central figure of the Islamic religion, by an Indian government official. It did not name the official.
