RAQQA, Syria — The Islamic State has threatened to sue anyone who claims their court system is different from Saudi Arabia's, sources report. This announcement comes on the heels of Saudi Arabia threatening to sue anyone who said their justice system is like ISIS.
“I am disappointed in my Saudi brethren,” said Abu Bakr al-Bahgdadi, the leader of ISIS. “To say our system of presuming perpetrators guilty, locking them up, then executing them without trial is any different from theirs is a lie. I hope to find the Saudi official who made this claim and lash him until he agrees.”
Many people criticized Saudi Arabia's justice system for being "ISIS-like" after the poet Ashraf Fayadh was sentenced to death for renouncing his Islamic faith.
