ISIS wants to kill kids with Down syndrome, says activist group Mosul Eye, while warning that any handicapped child is at risk. Islamic State militants have reportedly issued a religious decree to members authorizing them to kill newborn babies with Down syndrome. Unverified reports declare that 38 babies have already been killed since the oral fatwa was issued.
It is believed that the fatwa was issued by Saudi judge Abu Said Aljazrawi and that a child as young as a week of age has already been killed.
The authenticity of a video issued has yet to be verified, however other ISIS watchers believe that the decree is in line with ISIS killings that resemble those carried out by the Nazi regime that struck against Jews, homosexuals, communists and the disabled among others. Like the German Nazis, ISIS targets certain groups of people.
