Much like the priests we hear about so often are Catholic...
But I'll be damned if anyone here would say they are representing Christianity.
So they may be Muslims, but it's not Islamic.
They contradict the Quran with pretty much everything they do.
There is no formal excommunication in Islam, however me and every Muslim I know agree that IS will be less than pleased come Judgement Day.
What about Taliban or Al-Qaida etc?
There are numerous Islamic sects who condone this sort of treatment of 'captives'.
As for Aisha, the Prophet's wife, it's been determined by scholars she was at least 18.
Most links to the contrary are, suspect.
I've got to say that most accounts of Mohammad's life I have read give Aisha's age as 8 or 9.
But I understand that this may be as a result of Mohammad's enemies trying to discredit him.
Guess it depends on which 'scholars' one believes as many have determined she was indeed pre-pubescent.
I know you are passionately anti-Wahhabi but in an attempt to understand your perspective are you Sunni or Shia?
Personally I was nominally raised Catholic but consider myself Agnostic.....I think ultimately its all irrelevant - its how one lives one life that counts, adhesion to silly man made dogma is pointless.
Just my opinion.....and not really relevant for this discussion, maybe in another thread some time.

Lets not call attention to Extraordinary Rendition (kidnapping) or secret torture sites either.
Especially when they are about to release another innocuous report that supposedly will detail all that stuff.

Not every country institutionalizes rape, sexual slavery, and dehumanization of women
ISIS is a country, then? Or a figment of imaginary conditioning by the media?

Depends how they come to perish...
If they're killed in a firefight with Kurds or a Sunni/Shia tribe probably not.
If they're hit by US led Airstrikes they'll be blown to smithereens.
If they're captured by any of those fighting them such as Hezbollah, I'm certain that they'd be decapitated or hung.
One can only hope though.

There is nothing Islamic about any of this.
But some of you live in a fantasy land where us Muslims are the boogeyman.
Carry on.
The term can also mean one who espouses the ideal that war is necessary, and has the means and authority to engage in war.
In the space of a single decade he fought eight major battles, led eighteen raids, and planned another thirty-eight military operations where others were in command but operating under his orders and strategic direction.
Muhammad's belief in Islam and his own role as the "Messenger of God" revolutionized Arabian warfare and resulted in the creation of the ancient world's first army motivated by a coherent system of ideological belief.

The banks in the west go one step more and teach banks how to create debt slaves where people work 40 hours a week and still cannot buy a home or have bacon on the table.
Some of the slaves kill themselves due to the debt and crap way of living and people who fight the banks can always be shoot by the police who are little more than tax collectors.
Does ISIS have more slaves than the USA has in prison for profit jails because i see it as the pot calling the kettle black.
