Without a hint of media irony, ISIS, in its glossy magazine Dabiq, displays its pre-modern brutality by showing pictures of the immolation of a Jordanian pilot in his cage as well as the stoning and defenestration of men charged with being sodomites.
This was demonstrated recently in Wilāyat ArRaqqah, where the Islamic State carried out the hadd on a man found guilty of engaging in sodomy. He was taken to the top of a building and thrown off, as was one of the traditions of the noble companion Abū Bakr as-Siddīq (radiyallāhu ‘anh) with those who committed this filthy deed. Also in Wilāyat Ar-Raqqah, a woman was stoned after being found guilty of zinā. In Wilāyat alKhayr, meanwhile, a man was recently flogged as a ta’zīr (disciplinary punishment) after he was found to be in possession of pornographic material.
ISIS has released images that appear to show gay men being hurled off buildings and then stoned to death, part of the militants' self-professed mission to crack down on "sexual deviance."
ISIS featured a lengthy article in the latest version of its propaganda magazine Dabiq, released Thursday, on why it is "clamping down on sexual deviance."

The article blamed the advent of the sexual revolution for putting the West onto a "downward spiral" of immorality and said ISIS will continue its efforts to punish any transgressions.
