IS ties 2 boys to pole for eating in Ramazan: monitor
29
BEIRUT: The Islamic State group (IS) on Monday made two youths hang from a beam by their wrists after accusing them of eating during daylight hours in Ramazan, the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights said.
"Residents of the village of Mayadeen in Deir Ezzor province reported that IS suspended from a crossbar two boys aged under 18 near the HQ of the Hissba," the jihadist police, Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
"The children have been suspended by ropes from a pole since noon, and they were still there in the late evening," he said. "Apparently, they were caught eating."
A placard was attached to the bodies reading "They broke the fast with no religious justification".
IS, which controls swathes of territory across Syria and Iraq where it has created a self-proclaimed “caliphate”, advocates an extreme view of the application of Sharia law. The jihadists do not hesitate to impose brutal punishments including beheadings, stonings, floggings and crucifixions.

Maniacs, kill every last of these IS monsters. I honestly dont know how a mind can twist so much as to hang children. I cant even picture such brutality. So sad about boys, may they recover soon.

Religion is private matter of individual. Why these bigots killed innocent boys. Fast or not to fast is persons own choice.

This is inhumane and against Islam. IS may be doing anything but setting up an Islamic regime.

There should be nothing like believers or nonbelievers, this is root cause of the problem. Tolerance should be practiced there. Live and let live.

God did not give theses criminals the right to judge. If theses boys do not want to fast then they have a right not to.

Why do people care so much about what others do religiously? Your deeds are what will take you to paradise not someone elses.

Murderers, sadists and hard core lunatics !!! Clearly they enjoy brutality. These criminals, should all be bundled together and nuked !
There is no religion that can support such acts. And then serious thought be put into how they have come to be..where is this twisted totally un-islamic ideology coming from and measures taken to stem it out.

Whatever we think/say about them, there are still educated people from western countries are going there to join them after knowing all this. Can't understand what drives them to that extreme.

They are not advocating any form of Shariah Law, instead they are implementing their own doctrine which contradicts with Shariah in all forms.

These beasts need to be eliminated. There is no coercion in the religion and the religion is between the man and the God. No one should have authority to make people perform "religious duties" by force.

They are part of the larger drive to keep people in the West away from the message that was sent for all humanity some 1400 years ago. They may appear to be religious fanatics and idiots but the effort is deliberate. Not all of them are aware but a few at the top, the rest are sheep that blindly follow the herd.

What is prescribed punishment if the boys were really fasting and broke it before Iftar? Do such groups which have forcefully imposed their rule in parts of Iraq and Syria have the authority to carry out such punishments (I don't think so)? Normally, if Ramazan timings are observed for the sake of humanity by Muslims or non-muslims by eating or drinking closed doors is a good sign and act in Muslim countries.
