Another crime committed by the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Levant terrorists, as they executed a mentally ill person in Syria’s Idlib accusing him of “blasphemy.”
An opposition watchdog reported the incident, saying the killed man was reportedly suffering from mental illness.
ISIL executed Ibrahim Qassum, a heating oil vendor, by shooting him in the head... on allegations of blasphemy, two days after their forces arrested him," the Britain-based so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"The fighters bought fuel from him and asked him why it was impure. He responded in the colloquial dialect by saying 'How should I know? What am I, the God of fuel?'" the Observatory said.
The group said the fighters arrested Qassum, executed him and on Sunday threw his body, with several bullet wounds to the head, in the streets of the town.
ISIL terrorists have been involved in numerous abuses of civilians in Syria.
In June, the Observatory said ISIL had executed a teenager in front of his parents after accusing him of blaspheming against the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh).
