    Ah yes, The Sun. The pillar of reputable investigative journalism. Never a slow news day there.

    but there was a video a while back of an islamist in Syria eating a dead mans heart, so it possible



    Yes and many in ISIS ranks are driven by deviancy masked by religion, they need to keep going one step further like serial killers. They have done the beheadings, burnings, Crucifixions etc

    Its possible.

    ISIS usually film their most brutal atrocities and so on, so if they did actually do this, they would have filmed it and it would be up on one of their online accounts now.

    They really are at the heart of it a bunch of spotty faced teenagers looking for cheap thrills and kicks. The gap year/facebook generation.

    Its a wonder they don't take selfies when beheading people.



    I doubt it would have been officially sanctioned.

    They do take pictures beheading people, its how the security services often ID them.

    Hahaha! Sure! Next you'll be saying a group of Middle Eastern Islamic nutjobs are going to go to the US, take flight lessons and then hijack airliners and crash them into high rise buildings? Paranoid Islamophobe!

    Oh wait...

    I really don't think this is as far fetched as some here do.

    ISIS / ISIL are all about the shock value and for letting people know how far they will go. There is a huge level of escalation among the various leaderships and groups within groups.

    People don't want to live in a world where this stuff takes place, so naturally a sense of diffusion and denial kicks in.

    Hollywood can easily slip this shocking act into many sinister screenplays and the viewers will give a temporary shock reaction.

    Realistically, ISIS have the means, mentality, brutality and motivation to carry it out as casual as they like.

    On snopes as "probably false"
    http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/isisfedson.asp
    Origins: On 2 March 2015, the British tabloid The Sun published an article claiming ISIS militants had tricked a woman into consuming her captured son's remains. The ghastly story spread rapidly across both news sites and social media outlets, but the sole source for the story was the notoriously sensationalistic Sun.

    The New York Post's version of the tale read:
    "I hate IS because of what happened to an old Kurdish woman from a nearby tribe," he said.

    "Her son was captured by IS fighters and taken as a prisoner to Mosul. She was determined to find her son and went to IS headquarters and asked to see him."

    "They brought her cups of tea and fed her a meal of cooked meat, rice and soup. She thought they were kind," he said.

    "But they had killed him and chopped him up and after she finished the meal and asked to see her son they laughed and said, 'You've just eaten him,'" Abdulla told The Sun.
    While a number of news outlets passed the shocking rumor along (with no apparent effort to verify it), the story raises several red flags. The first is that the account is a single-souce, second-hand one: not only did the individual from whom The Sun sourced the tale fail provide evidence for the claim, but he admittedly did not witness the outrageous scenario himself. No additional information about how the man learned of the horrifying events was supplied in the article, making it quite possibly the manifestation of an urban legend local to Mosul.

    Second, no names, dates, or any supplemental detail were provided for the claim. No background information about the incident was included, nor was any proof supplied to corroborate it. The woman was described as brave in confronting her son's known captors, yet despite being armed with the knowledge that ISIS (or "IS") had abducted her son, she accepted and ate prepared food in a scenario that defies logic. Had she suspected ISIS militants of kidnapping her son and gone to investigate, would she be likely to accept possibly tampered-with food from the men she believed had harmed her child? Would ISIS's kind treatment be so readily accepted in such an overtly adversarial interaction?

    Third, the rumor mirrors many stories of unwitting cannibalism that far predate the Islamic State. It is nearly identical to the plot of a number of cultural tales, everything thing from Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus (in which a queen's two sons are slaughtered by a Roman general who has waged war against her people, then baked into a pie which she unknowingly consumes) to an episode of the satirical animated series South Park titled "Scott Tenorman Must Die" (in which the show's antagonist, Eric Cartman, feeds the killed parents of an enemy to him in a bowl of chili).

    While it is not impossible ISIS militants fed a man's remains to his mother, the story originated from a single sensationalistic source and was passed on by many other outlets without any additional investigation. No details were provided to determine whether the story was based in fact or born out of fear of Islamic State. The tale bears many common features of an old urban legend, including a horrifying twist ending and the involvement of villains du jour. Ultimately, no substantive evidence suggests that the events described have occurred at any point in recent history.

    Cartman joined ISIS now?



    There's a very apt picture of Cartman that I'd love to link right now but I'd be breaking the blasphemy law if I did. It's hilarious though.

    David is obsessed with ISIS and da Moooslimz in general. Something to do of a morning I suppose. And yes David, the idea of a mother being tricked into eating her son by ISIS does make me laugh, because it's so obviously a load of made up claptrap.

    All 'reported' by The Sun.

    If that's your credible source you should turn that phone or computer off and go explore the world outside your bedroom...or bunker...or whatever.

    After Hours might be an irreverent place full of cynicism and blunt, offensive wit. Thankfully, intelligent folks are in the majority and know the difference between crappy sensationalist horsedung like that and true reportage and journalism.

    You should join them one of these days...

    How is it far fetched?

    It was an ISIS owned Chinese restaurant. She had Dim Son, followed by Soup of Sum Yung Guy.

    I heard one say that ISIS are making people wear the chopped off heads of their parents as hats. True story.

    Seriously. Do you not get the distinction between evidence and testimony? Or do you just not want to? Neither an attractive trait in a poster, by the way...

    The claim that a mother was tricked into eating her son by ISIS was made by a Kurdish fighter.

    A British based Kurd heard the story, or probably read it in the Sun and decided to join up.

    You are talking about a News Corp/Rupert Murdoch mouthpiece, as is I believe the NYpost if I am not mistaken.

    Maybe they tapped someone's phone and overheard it being mentioned?

    Murdoch and the Sun strongly pushed for the Iraq War in 2003, and were the main proponents of Saddam's WMD stories.

    As always, you should be wary of the source in these cases. Next you will be citing Russia Today!

    I am referring to your constant bombardment of any kind of negative newsarticle or topic relating to people of different religions or ethnicities. It's similar to what you see on Stormfront where nearly every article involving a crime by a minority group is posted.

    ISIS are releasing videos of themselves massacring Iraqi soldiers, beheading Western hostages, burning pilots alive and on and on the horror goes.

    Muslims in the Middle East are suffering the brunt of ISIS brutality and they are the ones screaming at the world to help them.

    The Iraqi Army is currently fighting heroically to defend Iraq's democracy from these barbarian savages.

    Typically any criticism of Islamic fundamentalism is met by politically correct accusations from the liberal left of Islamophobia despite the evidence of Islamic extremism being undeniable.

    Despite the fact that ISIS would decapitate those very same liberal lefties given the chance.

    It is truly odd.

    But of course by all means shoot the messenger.
