BBC obtains video of Islamic State torturing Syrian boy, 14, Ahmed in Raqqa

SYDNEY: -- A GRAPHIC mobile phone video shows militants from terrorist group Islamic State torturing a 14-year-old Syrian boy.

The footage, filmed by a defector from ISIS and obtained by the BBC, shows the boy, Ahmed, being beaten while he hangs by his wrists in the Islamic State-controlled city of Raqqa in Syria.

The United Nations has said that Islamic State and other armed groups in Syria and Iraq of torturing and killing children and of recruiting, training and using them on the battlefield.

Inside its self-declared caliphate, ISIS has eliminated secular education and created military-style schools to indoctrinate children and train them to kill. ISIS propaganda videos show children, some as young as five, undergoing drills and learning to shoot.

Ahmed is blindfolded and his feet hang off the floor as two masked men, dressed from head to toe in black, pace the ground in front of him.

Ah, the religion of peace.

[Confuscious]

Ah, the religion of peace.

Unfortunately, NO religion is peaceful.

They are all based on the same roots:

1. Make as many followers as possible.

If needed to achieve your goal, use force on the non-believers.

2. Keep the followers as dumb as possible.

Only teach them the Holy Book and avoid everything else.

3. Make the people donate as much as possible to fund the weapons to achieve point 1.

That was not very intelligent the first time. Even less so the second time around.

Ah, the religion of peace.

Possibly they had watched videos of Americans torturing prisoners at Abu Ghraib and wanted to emulate the last super power as it spread the notion of western peace. democracy and harmony to all the lesser peoples of the world.

Or possibly they followed behaviour advocated at great length by their so called holy Quran, which has been around over a millennium before the United States of America even existed.

Mistreating grown terrorists is a little different from torturing a 14 year old child.

Any one who has to cover his face is a low life coward. Proven by torturing women and young children. These Islamics are gutless no good for nothing scum. They depend on the number they have because they can not face a real man one on one. Listen Thailand you might be next!

AND re written so many times to suit the nut cases, and the idiots, why do people believe in something, that treats people as scum, unless it is done a certain way, and why has it only recently all come to light, when many Muslims read the Quran they must have dyslexia, because half of what they say the Quran talks about is just no where to be seen in the book.

Ahmed says they claim to be religious but they are infidels, don't you preach to kill all infidels in your Quaran,

Perhaps the fact that 700 million Muslims are illiterate might have something to do with it. As long as there's someone sounding simultaneously insane and authoritative to tell them what to do after rendering themselves concussed by Friday night prayers all is clear, so to speak.
