Islamic state pays tribute to WWII veterans

Filed · 1539

RAQQA, Syria — The Islamic State joined world leaders and veterans organizations Saturday in numerous ceremonies throughout the caliphate honoring WWII veterans through mass genocide and unchecked, forcible expansion into neighboring countries.

Sources report that ISIS simply continued its current takfiri doctrine and changed absolutely nothing to pay homage to the intolerance and megalomaniacal ideologies tacitly accepted by most nations almost 80 years ago.

"While they are of the kuffar, we can't help but admire their methods," ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani told Duffel Blog. "That whole 'exterminate the Jews' and appropriating land thing? I know they would never admit it, but I could tell someone had been studying their Al-Anfal and Prophet Muhammad's letters."
