ISIS jihadists say gay man thrown off rooftop, stoned to death for sodomy

The Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) on Tuesday posted photographs appearing to show jihadists throw a “gay” off a rooftop and then stoning him to death.

SyriaAFP reports “the Islamic court in Wilayet al-Furat decided that a man who has practiced sodomy must be thrown off the highest point in the city, and then stoned to death,” according to a statement accompanying the images.

One image shows a man whom the jihadists claimed was gay being hurled off a building at an unspecified location in Syria or Iraq.

Another photograph shows the man lying on the ground.

The ISIS in November stoned two men to death in Syria, claiming they were gay.

Last month, ISIS reportedly stoned two men to death in Syria after claiming they were gay, the jihadist organization’s first known executions for alleged homosexuality.
