ISIS 'strap explosive to four-year-old boy and blow him up a week after they executed his father

[cali]

SIS has blown up a four-year-old boy a week after executing his father, who they accused of killing two of its fighters, it has been reported.

It was attached to him via 'a remote-controlled device so that his organs would be blown apart,' a spokesman of the state sponsored rebel group, Popular Mobilisation, is reported to have said.

The four-year-old boy was killed by ISIS in Iraq's northern al-Shirqat district, Jabar el-Maamouri, a senior official in Popular Mobilisation, told the Alsumaria news agency.

He told human rights organisations of the atrocity to publicise the group's barbarity and 'condemn' the people funding them.

I would really like to think that this isn't true.

1. Pointless brutality

No mercy for Isis or their supporters when they're defeated.

People who would do this cannot be allowed to survive.

2. I absolutely agree

Just a bunch of complete psychopaths.

3. Why they do it

They're trying to provoke a global war where the various factions of Islam fight each other, the west declares war on Islam, and Israel attacks Muslim nations. They could succeed in doing that, considering how people react to terrorism. Their goal is to start an asymmetrical war, where we spend millions of dollars for each one of them we kill. I think they're already succeeding on that point.

It is depressing to think about.
