ISIS News: Report Claims Terrorists Are Killing Babies with Down Syndrome
The Islamic State has gone from bad to worse as it continues to lay out assaults on innocent people. This time, though, the terrorist group has gone overboard as a new report claims that the jihadists have ordered the killing of babies and children with Down Syndrome.
According to The Mirror, prominent Iraqi activist group Mosul Eye reports that the ISIS has issued an "oral fatwa" to members of the extremist group, giving them the unrestricted powers to "kill newborn babies with Down Syndrome." Aside from the killing of Down Syndrome babies, the decree also allegedly orders ISIS fighters to kill children who were born with congenital deformities as well as those with disabilities.
A fatwa is an Islamic term that refers to a religious ruling given out by a recognized authority, in this case, the Islamic State.

The activist group further explains that it has been tracking the deaths of children with Down Syndrome and other kids who had deformities and disabilities. It turns out that one of the terror group's Shar'ia judges named Abu Said Aljazwari was the authorized person who laid out the fatwa that reportedly saw the deaths of dozens of children.
Additional information from the activists reveal that 38 children were killed by either lethal injection or suffocation. It only gets worse as the data says the murdered children were aged around one week to three months old.
A statement from Mosul Eye reads, "As if it is not enough for ISIL to kill men, women and the elderly, and now, they kill children."
The authenticity of the report cannot be confirmed at the time, but if it turns out to be true, the Islamic State has apparently adapted a Nazi conviction that said children who are a "burden to the state" should be murdered so as not to halt the community from development.
The new claim adds up to the numerous atrocities that the Islamic State has executed toward innocents for the past years and further fuels the anger of anti-terrorist groups that seek to free the world from terrorist attacks and injustices.
