In a grotesque twist of the saying "live by the sword, die by the sword", an Islamic State executioner in Syria who carried out beheadings for the jihadist group has been found with his head cut off.
The body of the Egyptian man, known to be the deputy emir of the feared al-Hesbah (or Hisbah) force in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor, was recovered near a power plant in al-Mayadeen city, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The corpse showed signs of torture and carried the message "This is evil, you Sheikh" written on it. The severed head also had a cigarette in its mouth. It is unclear who carried out the decapitation but the message was obvious.
Islamic State's (formerly known as Isis) ban on cigarettes is one of its signature polices. It has imposed a strict set of Sharia laws barring the use of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes in the territories it has conquered across a swathe of Iraq and Syria.
IS has declared smoking "slow suicide" and demands that "every smoker should be aware that with every cigarette he smokes in a state of trance and vanity is disobeying God".
Hisbah is IS's religious police who perform the role of enforcing the group's twisted version of sharia in the self-styled caliphate.
Last year, Vice News released a documentary on what life is like under Hisbah in Raqqa during Ramadan. The footage shows how the religious police check on shops and scrutinise produce, while at the same time ensuring their strict rules on women's appearances are adhered to.
The Vice reporter also spoke with inmates in an IS prison accused of abusing drugs and selling alcohol, learning of their punishments - which included being whipped.
The Syrian Observatory also reported that unknown assailants tried to kill two IS militants in al-Mayadeen.

As opposed to the non-twisted version offered by the “prophet” who did more or less the same sorts of things? Got it.
Sure seems appropriate.
And from the laity: "We like our smokes. Try to make us quit and we'll kill you right back."
Nothing like threatening a vice to get one's dander up...
This takes Nanny state to a whole new level.
Well, I guess cutting off his head is one way to get him to stop smoking . . . .
Smoke ‘em if you gottem, You ISIS camel effers! :-)
We be dropping ciggy poos to you via regularly scheduled parachute supply.
Wow! If the old saying “You reap what you sow” is applicable here, this guy got a double helping... and then some.
The one sure cure for headache.
Q. Why did they put a cigarette in his mouth?
A. Because they were out of bacon.
Thanks for the HEADS UP! Good riddance.
We need pictures!!!!!!!
Looks like he picked the wrong week to not quit smoking.
I’m glad to see the oppressed populace has kept their sense of humor. I look forward to more of their pranks.
In Islam it’s okay to put a Camel in your mouth—as long as it’s not a cigarette.
Have you noticed the similarity between ISIS and the libtard nannies?
1. Smoking is BAD!
2. Drinking is BAD!
3. Pork fat (bacon) is BAD!
I do not think it is a coincidence.
Screw ‘em. Smoke, drink and eat bacon.
I think I'll have a Hardee's Mile High Bacon Burger for lunch.....................
