Exclusive – Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently

ISIS didn’t enough from disrupting educational process in the city of Raqqa, and destroying an entire generation, and depriving them of the most basic rights that are available even in the poorest countries of the Third World.

The conduct of ISIS in spreading the culture of backwardness and terror after extinguishing the light of mind.

After stopping education for a long period of time, the militant group started re-opening of schools and issued a new curriculum, and the most important and largest subject is a thesis of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab founder of the Salafi “Wahhabi” ideology, with the neglect of all scientific and literary aspects in this curriculum, and focus on the thought of “Tawhid and Jihad” in the elementary stage of the educational process, the group has also issued a new circular in which demands teachers and the staff of the teaching corps to come into specific mosques to declare repentance of what ISIS calls “dependence on the Infidel Nusayri Educational System”, as if the teachers were members of Assad’s militias, or that the books which were taught to the sons of Syria have been written by the hands of Bashar and his gang, without the knowledge of the level of education in Syria which was in advanced rank, before the coming of ISIS herds to return the education process into before the dark ages.

It seems that teachers today are between the fire of regime malice and ISIS’ knife , the regime from his side, stops paying teacher’s salary and deprives him of his livelihood source, just to stay in the areas controlled by the group, in while the group considers the teacher an apostate and infidel if he does not accept to declare repentance of regime, and it may reaches to punish him or even kill him. ISIS has seized the property of many teachers of the sons of Raqqa, who reside in places beyond its controlled areas, through considering them as apostates and consequently confiscate their property and possessions, the group’s decision included both of men and women, where a specific places have been allocated to declare repentance, during a maximum period of two weeks.

The stupidity of the group has become clear, when the retirees have been included in the process of repentance, despite of leaving teaching for several years, as the group demanded male to bring two personal photos, as well as the so-called “patron” to acquit them in front of the group, so teachers have become between the fire of regime and the knife of the group.

 

 

 

Horrific Tales of ISIS

‘Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently’ reveals horrific tales of ISIS

Posted by: Abu Mohammed in press 27/02/2015 0 2,396 Views

Baghdad, Feb 22: ISIS militants have been inflicting brutal and abnormal sex attacks on women, in its de facto capital Raqqa, a report said.

According to a reports, the shocking revelations were made public by a group of non-violent activists called Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS).

It also said that the ISIS fighters are “buying kinky lingerie” for their partners, getting married with more than one woman and also seeking sex outside marriage with slaves, some of them as young as nine.

“Women are being subjected to brutal and abnormal sexual practices, due to which they are forced to seek treatment in hospitals.

The report also claimed that the ISIS militants, in an attempt to boost desire to have more sex, they desperately search for blue pills (Viagra).

Other atrocities include the ban of traveling for women and girls.

Women who travel without a male companion are subjected to harassment.

The feamles from the age group between 9 to 50 are sent to special education centres where they are taught how to be good wives as well as to learn Quran.

If women manage to escape from forced marriages, then they are either stoned to death as apostate, if they are found later.

Shockingly, Raqqa has emerged as a hotspot for British girls, who have joined the dreaded Islamic group ISIS.

ISIS capital in Syria is ‘like a big prison,’

Posted by: Abu Ibrahim Raqqawi in press, Raqqa news 27/02/2015 3 Comments 2,374 Views

(CNN)It’s not hard to get into Raqqa. The problem, one prominent activist tells CNN, is getting out.

Abu Ibrahim al-Raqqawi’s voice is calm and measured as he describes life inside the city ISIS claims as the capital of its so-called caliphate. But the horrors he details are harrowing.

Airstrikes. Executions. Forced blood donations and marriages to ISIS fighters.

Al-Raqqawi isn’t his real name. It’s the identity the former medical student who helped found an activist group called “Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently” uses to speak out. ISIS fighters have already tortured and executed one member of the group, he says, and they’ve made it clear they want the others involved dead.

Still, al-Raqqawi tells CNN’s Brooke Baldwin that won’t stop him from sharing what he sees.

“I lost my life … I don’t have school. I don’t have a future. I don’t have anything, but I didn’t want that for me or for my city,” he says. “It’s the situation forcing me to do this. I don’t want to be famous. I don’t want everybody to know who I am or what I’m doing. It’s just for my city and for my family and for the innocent civilians. … We are trying our best. We are trying to save our city.”

Here’s a look at some of the things al-Raqqawi has told CNN he and others from the activist group have seen in Raqqa. CNN hasn’t independently confirmed his claims, but his account provides a rare glimpse into the dramatic transformation of a city once known as one of Syria’s most liberal.

Dozens executed

In two months at least 40 people have been executed in Raqqa, al-Raqqawi says, for charges including being a fighter for the Free Syrian Army, being gay or killing others. Activists, he says, are also targeted.

“If you are an activist…inside the city of Raqqa, it will take you to death,” he says.

Forced blood donation

In Raqqa, al-Raqqawi says, a day might start out with a trip to court over a home robbery, and end up with a forced blood donation.

“If you have anything in the Islamic court, they say, ‘Go to the hospital and donate your blood and bring me the receipt, and if you don’t have it, I can’t help you,” he says. “They say to you, ‘We can’t help you until you go to the hospital. There (are) a lot of airstrikes, a lot of injured ISIS fighters.’”

Women forced into marriages

For women, al-Raqqawi says, the city is “like a big prison.” They are not allowed to leave the city if they are younger than 45 years old. And he says his activist group has documented more than 270 cases of girls forced to marry ISIS fighters.

“ISIS fighters are really sex-mad. … Some of them have two and three wives, and even with that they are trying to find slaves from Yazidi girls,” he says.

Buildings get an unexpected facelift

An effort to repaint buildings in bright colors isn’t what you’d expect to see in a square known as the site of executions, beheadings and crucifixions. But al-Raqqawi says that’s just what happened in Raqqa several weeks ago.

The change is particularly notable, he says, because when ISIS first came to the city they painted buildings black. Now, al-Raqqawi says the fresh coats of pink, white, gold and green paint could be a sign that ISIS is trying to make buildings less of a target for coalition airstrikes.

Foreign fighters flood city

“There is a big wall between the civilians and foreign fighters. It’s like two different lives inside the city of Raqqa,” al-Raqqawi says. “Yes it’s heaven for some of these foreign fighters, because they give them a lot of money. They give them the fancy houses. They give them the fancy cars.”

But for some, it’s not the paradise they imagined, al-Raqqawi says. Rumors swirl, he says, about foreign fighters being killed after trying to defect.

“ISIS takes their passports and if anyone tries defection from this, they will kill them immediately,” he says. “The problem, it’s not how to go inside the city of Raqqa. The problem is how to get out.”

ISIS beheads top police official for smoking cigarettes

If the Marlboro Man lived in the Islamic State he’d get beheaded before he died of cancer.

Along with bans on music and drinking, ISIS has imposed a ban on smoking.

The Islamic extremists reportedly beheaded one of their own for smoking cigarettes. No mercy was shown to the high-ranking police official and Egyptian national whose headless body was discovered near a power plant in the Syrian city of Deir-al-Zor. Written on his corpse was the phrase “O, Sheikh this is munkar (hateful and evil thing).” He had a cigarette in his mouth. The man was the deputy “emir” of the al-Hesbah force in the area.

The group claims smoking as a sin because it is a “slow suicide.”

In a statement issued last year, ISIS’ “Preaching Office” said:

“Every smoker should be aware that with every cigarette he smokes in a state of trance and vanity is disobeying god. Three days following the issuance of the statement, selling tobacco and shisha (hookah tobacco) will be strictly prohibited and those who insist on selling them will bring injustice upon themselves and upon other people. All tobacco quantities will be burned and the seller will be punished according to Sharia.”

Abu Mohammed Hussam, a founder of Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS), told The Independent just how serious smoking offenses are taken in the Islamic State. “The first time he will be arrested and flogged (40 lashes),” he said. “If he smokes again, he will be whipped and imprisoned. On the third occasion, he will be taken to a camp in the countryside and fined a large sum of money.”

Shops selling cigarettes and hookahs have been shut down by ISIS and street vendors have been barred from selling tobacco products in Raqqa, Syria, one of the extremists’ most coveted holdings. Disobedient shops were burned to the ground.

A cafe manager said his business was suffering under ISIS’ ban. “No customers come in,” he said. “Many of our customers are smokers, and they do not enjoy a cup of coffee if they can’t smoke a cigarette with it. They are indirectly forcing us to close the cafe.”

Others resort to crossing borders to enjoy a cigarette. When aid workers come enter areas held by ISIS they throw their cigarettes out the car windows and turn Islamic nasheed (chant) on the stereo.

ISIS has publicly burned millions of cigarette packs In Iraq and Syria.

Discussing ISIL’s Takfir Doctrine

By Shari`ah Staff

(Taken from OnIslam.net)

Editor’s Note: One of the major and most serious errors that mark the thinking and behavior of the so called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is their rushing to declare other Muslims (especially their opponents) as non-Muslims. This leads to grave consequences such as dealing lightly with such important issues like violating sanctity of people’s lives; innocent Muslims are killed as a result without any proper proceedings or valid justification.

The following refutation of ISIL’s ideology in this regard is part of a lengthy and detailed letter signed by over 100 of scholars, intellectuals and preachers to the leader of ISIL, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, discussing and responding to ISIL’s misconceptions and wrong deeds.

Declaring People Non-Muslim (takfir):

Some misunderstandings about takfir are a result of the exaggeration of some Salafi scholars in

matters of takfir (declaring people non-Muslim), and in their exceeding of what Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Al-Qayyim have said in many important aspects. In brief,takfir can be summarised correctly as follows:

a. Quintessentially in Islam, anyone who says: ‘There is no god but God; Muhammad is the Messenger of God’ is a Muslim and cannot be declared a non-Muslim. God says:

{O you who believe, when you are going forth in the way of God, be discriminating and do not say to him who offers you peace: ‘You are not a believer, desiring the transient goods of the life of this world. With God are plenteous spoils. So you were formerly, but God has been gracious to you. So be discriminating. Surely God is ever Aware of what you do.} (An-Nisa’, 4: 94).

The meaning of ‘be discriminating’ in the above verse is to ask them: ‘Are you Muslims?’ The answer is to be taken at face-value without questioning or testing their faith. Moreover, the Prophet Muhammad said:

“Woe to you! Look! After I die, do no return to being non-believers, striking each other’s necks.“[1]

Follow the Shari`ah Zone

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said:

“… so whoever says: ‘There is no god but God’ saves himself and his wealth except as permitted by law, and his reckoning is with God.“[2]

Ibn Omar and the Lady Aisha also said: “Declaring the people of the Qiblah as non-Muslim is not permissible.”[3]

b. This issue is of the utmost importance because it is used to justify the spilling of Muslim blood, violating their sanctity, and usurping their wealth and rights. God Almighty says:

{And whoever slays a believer deliberately, his requital is Hell, abiding therein, and God is wroth with him and has cursed him, and has prepared for him a mighty chastisement.} (Al-Nisa’, 4: 93).

Moreover, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Whoever says to his brother “O disbeliever”, it will certainly be true of one of them.”[4]

God Almighty has warned, in the strongest terms, against killing anyone who verbally declares his Islam:

{… And so if they stay away from you and do not fight you, and offer you peace, then God does not allow you any way against them.} (Al-Nisa’, 4: 90).

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against accusing people of polytheism and of taking up the sword against them; he said:

“The person I fear for you the most is the man who has read the Qur’an … cast it off and thrown it behind him, and taken up the sword against his neighbour and accused him of polytheism“[5].

It is not permissible to kill any Muslim, (nor indeed any human being), who is unarmed and a non-combatant. Usamah Ibn Zayd narrated that, after he killed a man who had said: ‘There is no god but God’, ‘the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “He said: ‘There is no god but God’ and you killed him?!” I replied: “O Messenger of God, he only said it out of fear of [our] arms.” He said: “Did you see inside his heart to know whether or not he meant it?”[6] ’

Recently, Shaker Wahib—who was affiliated with what was known at the time as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)—appeared in a YouTube video where he stopped unarmed civilians who said they were Muslims. He then proceeded to ask them the number of prostrations (rak`ahs) in specific prayers. When they answered incorrectly, he killed them.[7] This is absolutely forbidden under Islamic Law and is a heinous crime.

	World Scholars: ISIL Caliphate Is Null and Void

c. Peoples’ deeds are tied to the intent behind those deeds. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Actions are but by intention, and every person will have what they intended…“[8]

Furthermore, God Almighty says:

{When the hypocrites come to you they say: ‘We bear witness that you are indeed the Messenger of God’. And God knows that you are indeed His Messenger, and God bears witness that the hypocrites truly are liars.} (Al-Munafiqun, 63: 1).

God Almighty thus describes the words of the hypocrites regarding the Prophet’s message—an indisputable fact—as lies, because their intention when saying it was to lie even though it is true in itself. It is a lie because they uttered with their tongues a truth that God Almighty knows their hearts reject. This means that disbelief requires the intention of disbelief, and not just absentminded words or deeds. It is not permissible to accuse anyone of disbelief without proof of the intention of disbelief. Nor is it permissible to accuse anyone of being a non-Muslim without ascertaining that intention. It is, after all, possible that the person was coerced, ignorant, insane or did not mean it. It is also possible that he misunderstood a particular issue. God Almighty says:

{Whoever disbelieves in God after [having affirmed] his faith—except for him who is compelled, while his heart is at rest in faith—but he who opens up his breast to unbelief, upon such shall be wrath from God, and there is a great chastisement for them.} (Al-Nahl, 16: 106).

It is forbidden to interpret the implications of a person’s deeds; only the person himself or herself may interpret their own deeds—particularly when there is a difference of opinion among Muslims regarding that particular deed. It is also forbidden to declare others non-Muslim (takfir) based on any matter in which there is a difference of opinion among Muslim scholars.

It is forbidden to declare an entire group of people non-Muslim. Disbelief applies only to individuals depending on their deeds and intentions. God Almighty says: {No laden soul will bear another’s load.} (Az-Zumar, 39: 7).

Finally, it is forbidden to declare people who do not doubt the disbelief of others, or refuse to declare them non-Muslim, as non-Muslim.

The reason this point has been discussed in such detail is because you distributed the books of Muhammad bin Abdel-Wahhab as soon as you reached Mosul and Aleppo. In any case, scholars—including Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah—distinguish between the actions of a disbeliever (kafir) and declaring people non-Muslim (takfir). Even if a person performs a deed that has elements of disbelief, this does not necessitate that that person be judged as a disbeliever for the reasons presented earlier. Al-Dhahabi[9] related that his teacher, Ibn Taymiyyah, used to say near the end of his life:

“I do not declare any member of the ummah non-Muslim … The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Anyone who maintains his ablution is a believer‘, so whoever observes the prescribed prayers with ablution is a Muslim.”

This is a crucial point; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“Subtle shirk [i.e. associating partners with God] is when a man stands to pray and embellishes his prayer for an onlooker.”[10]

He thereby described ostentation in prayer as ‘subtle shirk’, which is minor shirk. This minor shirk, which some worshippers fall into, is not considered major shirkand cannot lead to takfir or to being cast out of the fold of Islam. For other than prophets and messengers, everyone else worships God Almighty according to their capacity, and not as God Almighty deserves. God Almighty says: {They measured not God with His true measure …} (Al-An`am 6: 91); and:

{And they will question you concerning the Spirit. Say: “The Spirit is of the command of my Lord. And of knowledge you have not been given except a little”.} (Al-Isra’ 17: 85).

Nevertheless, God Almighty accepts such worship. And people are not able to conceive of God Almighty, because: {…There is nothing like Him …} (Ash-Shura 42: 11); and: {Vision cannot attain Him, but He attains [all] vision …} (Al-An`am 6:103). Nothing is known of Him Almighty except for what He has revealed through revelation (al-wahy) or He imparted to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): {… He casts the Spirit of His command upon whomever He will of His servants …} (Ghafir, 40: 15). So how can anyone take up a sword against others just because he or she believes that they do not worship God Almighty as He deserves? No one worships God as He deserves except by His Almighty permission. More fundamentally, the issue of shirk among the Arabs is moot, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“The Devil has lost hope that those who pray in the Arabian Peninsula will worship him, but [aims] to sow discord among them.“[11]

ISIS Barbarians Face Their Own Internal Reign of Terror

The internal bloodletting among ISIS factions has begun, and could get much worse.

The propagandists of the putative Islamic State would have you believe it is just one big happy family, righteously slaughtering apostates, enslaving women (literally), beheading and burning alive its prisoners, all in the name of God. But quarrels over a range of issues—from divvying up of the spoils of war to competition over women and, yes, the handling of foreign hostages—point to a lot of trouble beneath the surface of this terror army.

This is according to political activists in northern Syria, including members of the a group called Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently, which follows developments in ISIS very closely and appear to be well-sourced inside the city of Raqqa, which is the so-called Islamic State’s capital. The group reported on a failed Jordanianattempt to rescue Muadh al Kasasbeh, a downed pilot from the Jordan Air Force, and his subsequent execution, burned alive, weeks before the hideous video of his murder was made public by ISIS.

Commanders in the Aleppo Operations Room, a center coordinating activities of the U.S.-backed Free Syrian Army and other factions, tell The Daily Beast there has also been an increase in defections from ISIS ranks, especially among militants who have been selected for suicide-bomb missions.

On Friday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that an ISIS cleric in Aleppo province who dared to criticize the immolation of Kasasbeh has been removed from his post by the “caliphate” leadership and will be put on trial by the group. The Saudi-born imam had said those responsible for the video-recorded murder are the ones who should be put on trial. ISIS has responded to criticism from Quranic scholars the world over, who say the execution was utterly un-Islamic, by posting a line on Twitter insisting it is permissible to burn an infidel to death. (For the record, Kasasbeh was not an infidel at all, but a devout Muslim who prayed before he took off on the mission that ended with his plane crashing, his capture, and his murder. But the caliph and his cronies claim they have the exclusive right to decide who is and is not a Muslim, and what is and is not the will of God.)

Some independent Syrian media reported that the head of the al Hisba police force in Raqqa, responsible for the enforcement of Sharia law, fled after trying to mount a coup. But Slaughtered Silently activists say the departure of Abu Talha al-Kuwaiti, along with nearly a dozen of his supporters, wasn’t the upshot of a takeover bid. They say it arose out of more petty but equally deadly disputes that had led to the execution earlier in the war of his patron, the governor of the Raqqa, who went by the name Abu Ayyub al-Ansari.

The ISIS leadership has issued no statement about any of these reported executions.

Punitive killings, the flight of some senior ISIS commanders, and the execution of more than 60 foreign fighters who wanted to leave in recent days risk provoking more flare-ups, say residents who recently escaped Raqqa.

When arguments spin out of control, they are elevated to the level of treason, and disobedience is automatically seen as rebellion deserving of summary execution, according to some of these activists.

Many militants feel greater loyalty to their sub-groups—whether based on nationality or ideological background. Others have tried to leave ISIS to join the ranks of Jabhat al Nusra, which remains affiliated with al Qaeda but also has proven itself an effective force against Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad.

“ISIS has erected barriers and checkpoints throughout Raqqa, because the defectors have freed some detainees from Jabhat al Nusra group,” says a Raqqa activist who goes by the name Abu Mohammed. “Most of the defectors have fled to Turkey after paying large amounts of money, while the rest went to the areas controlled by the Jabhat al Nusra group.”

Disobedience is automatically seen as rebellion deserving of summary execution.

The burning alive of Kasasbeh and the slaying of two Japanese hostages last month also prompted sharp divisions over whether the captives should have been swapped for militants imprisoned in Jordan or elsewhere, or whether they should have been slaughtered immediately without any bargaining or prolonged publicity-seeking, according to the Slaughtered Silently activists reporting out of Raqqa.

One of those, who goes by the name Hamood Almossa, says ISIS militants are divided into several competing groups: Some are extreme hardliners originally attracted by the harsh application of Sharia law; others are Syrian militants who now complain that they bore the brunt of the months-long fighting over the border town of Kobani and are reluctant to be used to reinforce ISIS units in neighboring Iraq. Still others are Gulf Arabs jealous of the power held by hardcore Iraqi militants who form the inner coterie of the ISIS leadership around Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The Gulf Arabs, many of whom are veterans from the conflicts in Afghanistan and Pakistan, feel excluded from overall decision-making.

North African recruits among the Islamic State’s estimated 20,000 foreign fighters are among the most disgruntled, the Raqqa activists say. They complain they receive less than Gulf Arabs, Europeans, and Chechens who are paid as much as $1,000 a month. They grumble about missing out on many of the spoils of war, including women slaves and jihadi brides. Like local Syrian fighters, North African recruits say they have been used as cannon fodder, especially in the battle for Kobani.

Last week, four Tunisian recruits who joined ISIS months ago were executed in the neighborhood of Rumaila in central Raqqa, say opposition activists. They were described as traitors. Two other Tunisians, possibly along with family members, were executed in the Eddekhar neighborhood of Raqqa.

The quarrels and executions trigger more cycles of revenge as commanders and groups compete and jockey for power and survival. The disputes over the fate of Kasasbeh and the Japanese captives “raised the ire of the [Raqqa] security office, which started to eliminate a number of members who have become skeptical about the application of the law of God,” says Almossa.

The ISIS infighting and internal disputes could be likened to the Reign of Terror stage in the French Revolution, when Maximilien Robespierre sent revolutionaries as well foes to the guillotine.

Activists and Syrian Kurdish commanders in northeast Syria say the failure to capture Kobani has been a key factor in lowering morale, especially among foreign fighters who had never experienced a serious reversal in northern Syria. Kurdish commanders in the once-beleaguered city say they have found mass graves of both Kurds and ISIS fighters in recent days, the most recent containing the bodies of 200 Islamic militants. They claim, too, some Syrian fighters with ISIS defected during the siege and escaped to Turkey.
