The Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization that has conquered large swathes of Iraq and Syria continues in its execution of Muslim “heretics” who left the religion and others who don’t follow Islam, and is executing those suspected of sodomy – homosexuality – as well.
A website identified with ISIS published photographs documenting the stoning of a man who according to the announcement “did acts of the people of Lot,” a reference to the Biblical figure who lived in Sodom.
The punishment for the crime according to Islam is stoning, and as the pictures documented the man was thrown off of a high building and then pelted with rocks from above. Other Muslim opinions hold that the crime holds the punishment of being burned to death, but apparently the ISIS terrorists didn’t follow that opinion.
In the pictures published on the site, five masked ISIS terrorists are seen reading the verdict against the man, with around ten other armed terrorists standing around him as well.
His hands were then tied and he was brought to the roof of a three-story building, from which he was thrown to the ground. Afterwards bricks and stones were thrown down at him.
The execution was documented so as to enforce Islamic Sharia law in ISIS controlled areas. It occurred in the Al-Porat region which sprawls from the western Iraqi city of Al-Kayim to Abu Kamil in Syria.
ISIS has documented its executions by stoning in the past as well; in one video from October a woman in ISIS-controlled Syria is seen being stoned to death by her own father over accusations of adultery.
