MOSUL, Iraq — The Islamic State (ISIS), has taken a play from the American military handbook by hosting a Salsa Night in Mosul, sources in the Caliphate confirmed. The event was intended for soldiers of ISIS to unwind and let loose in an otherwise austere forward deployed environment. Tragically, the inaugural Salsa Night ended with 39 beheaded for dancing.

"We're here on what the devil Americans used to call FOB Marez and we saw posters for something called 'Salsa Night at the MWR,'" said Ibn Al-Walid, an ISIS commander in the area. "I decided that maybe my soldiers could use some downtime when they come off the front lines in the north where fighting with the Kurds is a daily occurrence. I like salsa as much as the next guy, especially with the right kind of chips. You know, the kind that you can scoop with."

The culture barrier between American and ISIS forces became apparent when several foreign fighters who travelled to Mosul to join ISIS showed up for Salsa Night.
