ISIS Crucifies, Publicly Displays Bodies of Two Boys Accused of Eating During Holy Month of Ramadan

The Islamic State group has crucified and killed two children in Syria for eating during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims are required to fast in obedience to Allah.

The boys, who were both younger than 18, were killed by the militants and later displayed with placards hung around their necks revealing their “crime” was committed “with no religious justification.” The horrific incident occured in the town of Mayadin, Deir Ezzor province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights revealed on Monday . . .

Ramadan, which literally means “scorching” in Arabic, is a time when devout Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours to focus on their spiritual health and seek forgiveness for past sins . . .

Under the brutal rule of ISIS, which regularly carries out public beheadings, stonings and crucifixions those accused of crimes, the punishments for disobeying religious laws are exceedingly harsh.

In February, militants living in Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, severely disfigured the faces of fifteen Iraqi women by pouring acid on them as a form of punishment after the women were caught without their faces being fully covered by a niqab, a hijab which covers the entire face, except for slits for eyes.
