Then again, most Catholic-majority countries do the same thing to people caught eating meat on Friday’s during Lent… or maybe not.

Via The Independent:

A video, apparently filmed undercover in the Isis-controlled Iraqi city of Fallujah, shows people accused of eating in daylight hours during Ramadan ‘crucified’ in the street.

The video was filmed secretly from a moving car as it drives down a wide street in what appears to be Fallujah. Tied to each lamp post is a person, with their arms stretched out and tied to poles. They wear signs around their necks, detailing their so-called ‘crimes’.

The video, which we will not publish here, also shows cars going by, and pedestrians walking past the crucified people on the busy street. At the top of the lamp posts, a black flags resembling the flag of Isis flutter in the wind.

Uploaded on 8 July, it’s one of the most recent videos detailing the degree of brutality shown to those in Isis-controlled areas who do not live by the terrorist group’s extremist religious views.

It seems to be a punishment commonly used by the group for eating during Ramadan, and for a number of different supposed ‘offences’. Last month, reports from Syria by the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, claimed that two boys, believed to be under 18, were crucified in the town of Mayadin for breaking their Ramadan fasts “with no religious justification”.
