According to three media outlets an undisclosed number of militants displaying signs of the disease attended a hospital in the ISIS-held city of Mosul

I wonder if it was accidental or on purpose. I wouldn't doubt that ISIS would love to get ahold of a biological weapon. Ebola would be easy to spread. ISIS would just send infected people into the HAJJ or into airports or marketplaces. When in the infectious stage, all they'd do is drop sweat or cut themselves and smear it around. Mass murder - cheap and easy.

No they haven't.
Just like that haven't banned academic education involving engineering, science & mathematics.
Some of these IS stories are getting silly now.

Murder, torture, and rape? Halal.
Math, social studies, sports, and music? Haram, according to the group which calls itself the Islamic State (formerly ISIS, ISIL, or QSIS, depending on whom you ask). The Salafist jihadi organization announced a new curriculum banning the study of a wide variety of subjects for students in areas of Iraq and Syria it controls, CNN reports.
Students will be forbidden to learn math, music, social studies (especially anything about elections or democracy), and even sports. Teachers who break the rules "will be punished," according to fliers posted in IS-controlled territory.
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has established an “Islamic curriculum” for students living in the Syrian northern city of Raqqa and banned the study of philosophy and chemistry, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported Friday.
The militants called on teachers and school directors to “prepare an Islamic education system in the schools of Raqqa,” which would be reviewed by a board of education appointed by ISIS.
Thousands of children in swaths of war-torn Syria, now controlled by dreaded Islamic State militants, can no longer study math or social studies under new diktats issued by the jihadists.
While sports is banned, the children will not be allowed to learn about elections and democracy.
Instead, the children will be subjected to the teachings of the radical Islamist group. And any teacher who dares to break the rules "will be punished.
The United Kingdom-based SOHR is run out of a two-bedroom terraced home in Coventry by one person, Rami Abdulrahman,[3] a Syrian Sunni Muslim who also runs a clothes shop. After three spells in prison in Syria, Abdulrahman came to Britain in 2000 fearing a longer, fourth jail term.

Wow that does sound credible.
Re Ebola:
World Health Organisation isn't very credible either... & the Article specifically says that the UN are not allowed in Mosul so there will be no way to confrm this story.
So I'm calling BS on both.
Just because it's IS doesn't make it believable.

I hate to speak of other members directly but I believe that sectarian favoritism may play a part in Charlie's posts on here, especially when it comes to matters that involve Islam, IS and Assad for example.
His biases clearly indicate a sectarian agenda.

I'd like to know how you have read that as a defence of IS to be honest.
The reason I doubt they've banned education is because it comes from an unreliable source & to ban Mathematics, Engineering & Science would seriously hinder their progress when it comes to operating & maintaining any sort of Weapons they come across in the future...
Do you not think it would be idiotic for IS to stump their own agenda by stopping the next generation from learning something necessary towards their goals?
Do you think IS are stupid?
Do you think because I don't think IS are stupid that this equates to me defending them?
Seriously TP?
