SYRIA: ISIS PUBLICLY BEHEADED A MAN FOR 'INSULTING ALLAH'
January 26, 2015: A man was beheaded for “insulting Allah” in a public square of the Syrian town of Al-Shadadi by Islamic State’s fighters.
A militant addressed the large crowd, which included children, as the man was restrained behind him claiming to carry out the “law of Allah” by executing him for allegedly insulting God.
Unlike most victims, the young man was not blindfolded and was forced to the ground face down to be decapitated. He continued to struggle while screaming for help as the crowd stood watching and filming the gruesome display on their phones.
According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, who said the footage appeared genuine, he shouted: “I won’t forgive you, I am not the one who did it.”
When the executioner beheaded him with one blow of a sword, a roar went up from the crowd as militants chanted “Allahu akbar” (God is great). (Sources: independent.co.uk, 28/01/2015)
