In non-Ferguson news, Islamic State fighters are still animals.

BEIRUT, Lebanon — The jihadist Islamic State group on Tuesday said it beheaded a member of Syria’s minority Ismaili community, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, accusing him of “apostasy.”

“Yesterday [Monday] the Islamic police in Homs province carried out the punishment for apostasy against an Ismaili apostate… The punishment was carried out before a group of Muslims,” IS said in a statement distributed on jihadist forums.

IS also distributed graphic photographs of the execution, including one showing the unnamed victim kneeling on the ground as a jihadist raises a sword above his head.

“This is what will happen to every apostate,” read a handwritten sign placed above the shoulders of the victim’s disfigured body.

The Ismaili community numbers some 200,000 people in Syria, where many live in Salamiyeh, a town in the central province of Hama.
