   Along with reportedly being a century old, he was also blind.   
      
   fucking Sorcery!     
      
   This is what the PC and apologists want you to welcome into your country   
   and home.   
      
   Islamic State’s branch in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula posted a video on   
   Tuesday depicting the beheading of two men the militant Islamist group said it   
   had found guilty of practicing witchcraft and sorcery.   
      
   The video, posted on a Telegram channel often used by IS, showed the group   
   forming a religious police unit known as the Hasbah in northern Sinai, where   
   it has waged an insurgency for years. The rugged, thinly populated peninsula   
   borders Israel, Gaza and    
   the Suez Canal.   
      
   No comment was immediately available from Egypt’s military or Interior   
   Ministry.   
      
   In the video, two elderly men appear in orange jumpsuits and are taken out of   
   a black van and led to the desert, where they are beheaded. A man reads out   
   what he says is a verdict from a Sharia court condemning them to death for   
   “apostasy, sorcery,    
   claiming the ability to tell the future, and leading people to polytheism.”   
      
   Islamic State uses the terms sorcerers and heretics to refer to adherents of   
   Sufism, a non-violent form of Islam involving mystical rituals that has been   
   practiced for centuries.   
      
   IS has killed hundreds of soldiers and police in Sinai since 2013, when   
   fighting intensified, but the video shows the militants are expanding their   
   activities to target civilians.   
      
   “Thanks be to God who has allowed the Islamic State’s soldiers in Sinai in   
   applying his law and instituting religion in spite of all the infidels,   
   apostates and envious Jews,” one fighter can be seen and heard saying.   
      
   In the video, which is also notable for the fact that the men speaking in it   
   are unmasked, fighters are shown seizing trucks full of cigarettes and drugs,   
   and then burning them.   
      
   They are also seen handing out fliers with religious advice to motorists at   
   checkpoints and raiding a Sufi gathering and arresting a number of men, who   
   are given a religious sermon and then made to sign a document saying they will   
   repent.   
      
   Fighters are also seen smashing television sets and satellite dishes,   
   destroying tombs they say go against Islamic burial laws, and using sticks to   
   beat men accused of smuggling.   
      
   They are also shown blowing up what they describe as Sufi shrines.   
      
   Islamic State has instituted similar religious police units in Syrian and   
   Iraqi territories it controls. The Egyptian branch first showed signs of   
   expanding its goals beyond fighting security forces when in December it bombed   
   a church adjoining Cairo’s    
   St Mark’s Cathedral, the seat of the Coptic papacy, killing 28 people.   
      
   In February the militants threatened all Egyptian Christians, the Middle   
   East’s largest Christian community, in a video, and began circulating names   
   of Christians who must leave Sinai or die.   
      
   Within a period of three weeks they killed seven Christians, prompting almost   
   200 families to flee northern Sinai, church officials and human rights groups   
   say.
