ISIS has dragged their “caliphate” back to the stone age… literally.

Via IB Times:

In yet another display of how the Islamic State (IS) implements the Sharia law, a resident of Mosul narrated another recent incident of stoning to death of a man and a woman for adultery. The witness was a clothing store owner whose outlet is near a government building where the incident happens.

Abu Mohammad al-Lahibi, the shop owner, said the woman was in her 20s and married. Lahibi was not sure if the woman was given a fair trial since none was held before the stoning.

The two were handcuffed, while the woman wore a full face veil called niqab. Twelve IS militants stood before the condemned couple and had bags filled with stones. They started to throw stones on the two. On the third stone, the “adulteress” was killed, while the man died after her, recounts Lahibi.

Another witness, Saad, said, “I was moved by the crying of the woman who started bleeding and then died from the stoning,” quotes The New York Times. Saad laments that the Iraqi government has left them in the hands of the IS, which he perceives “make all kinds of crime in the city” and to defame the image of Islam.

Col Ahmed al-Jiboori, assigned at the Nineveh Liberation Camp located east of Mosul, confirmed that since the IS started the practice in Mosul in August, it has stoned more than a dozen people to death.
