Political Pistachio: ISIS Harvesting "Organs Of Infidels"
ISIS Harvesting "Organs Of Infidels"
Hardly surprising. Oil, hostage ransoms, "infidel" antiquities plunder, illegal human organ trafficking - the Islamic State is always on the lookout for fresh revenue streams, after all.
And these animals are, you know, bloodthirsty, cannibalistic butchers, too:
The Islamic State has sanctioned the harvesting of human organs in a previously undisclosed ruling by the group's Islamic scholars, raising concerns that the violent [Muslim] group may be trafficking in body parts.
The ruling, contained in a January 31st, 2015 document reviewed by Reuters, says taking organs from a living captive to save a Muslim's life, even if it is fatal for the captive, is permissible.
"Organs that end the captive's life if removed: The removal of that type is also not prohibited," Fatwa Number 68 says, according to a U.S. government translation. [emphasis added]
That's not all of the "goodies" the May raid yielded, either; not by a long shot:
McGurk said the Islamic State's Research and Fatwa Committee reports directly to the group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Welcome to the Islamic Reformation, folks.
The Islamic State doesn't need to be defeated; it needs to be exterminated.
So why won't Barack Obama do so?
