ISIS jihadists publicly executed 13 teenage boys for watching a soccer match.

The young fans were watching an Asian Cup match between Iraq and Jordan on TV last week when they were caught by the militants in the Iraqi city of Mosul, which the Islamic State controls, the Daily Mail reported.

Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently, an activist group that exposes ISIS atrocities, reported that the teens were executed by a firing squad.

“The bodies remained lying in the open and their parents were unable to withdraw them for fear of murder by terrorist organisation,” the group posted on its website.

The boys were slaughtered because they were said to be violating Sharia laws by watching the game.

Hmm, Mosul has African-Americans residing there? Calling Al Sharpton.

I’ve decided - we should simply leave ISIS alone. They will destroy themselves with such idiocy, at worst they will overturn the whole M.E.in the process. Either way, we win.

Just keep everyone from the M.E. from entering the USA. Problem solved.

Man! Just imagine what they’d have done if they found them watching the Packers yesterday.

I wasted a year of my life in that craphole of a country for this when we could have left a Division there to keep the peace. I made many friends in the Iraqi Army, I guess there all dead now. To Obama be the glory

Sorry for the rant.

> And I thought that watching soccer was in itself the worst possible punishment. Leave it up to ISIS to add their own touch.

LOL...Agreed...

ISIS is not going to destroy themselves or the rest of Islam. They are following the same plan of conquest Mo and his armies used to spread islam across the world. In each country they conquer the locals will be coopted to save their own lives and will move on in a diminished and much more subservient life, subservient to ISIS. These worthless sons of pig f’n dogs are not like the Kmer Rouge who were ruthless but confined themselves mostly to Cambodia. These guys are on a jihad based on their history and will continue to conquer, gathering adherents by force and fear until the reconquer the westernized Islamic nations. After that, they will most certainly move on to bigger and better. They need to be snuffed out now and with extreme prejudice.

Everything enjoyable goes against Sharia Law which also goes against liberalism.

Pray America is waking

I knew watching soccer would kill you, from being bored to death, not from Isis.

Anyone who belongs or converts to this “religion” is insane.

There is no doubt they have a flair for the dramatic. They have studied media well and use that knowledge to keep themselves in the headlines. Beheadings are more dramatic than say shooting someone.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse...

Saddam’s sons were known for torturing soccer players after they lost a game. Not a lot of inspirational leaders in this region.

At some point maybe people will get it that this religion really does want to bring people back to the 7th century.
