Dissent is un-Islamic.

Islamic State fighters executed a youth in a Syrian town today, after hundreds of residents demanded they leave following regime air strikes that targeted the jihadists but killed eight civilians, a monitor said.

Residents of Ashara, in the mostly IS-controlled eastern province of Deir Ezzor, protested in front of an IS headquarters Thursday evening, hours after regime air strikes killed the two children, five women and a man, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman said.

In response, IS gunmen opened fire and seized several young men, the Observatory and an activist said.

“Thursday evening’s protest began as a funeral for the victims, attended by nearly 300 people,” said Rayan al-Furati, an activist from Deir Ezzor.

“Then the mourners began to protest, demanding that the IS leave the town of Ashara,” Furati told AFP via the Internet.

The Observatory said that, on Friday, the IS publicly executed and crucified a young man identified as Ali Khalaf, accusing him of “heresy and apostasy.”

“Though he had nothing to do with yesterday’s protests, they executed him publicly in Ashara in order to terrorise people into not taking any kind of action against the IS,” Abdel Rahman said.
