ISIS in review.

IS is

1.staving children.
2. massacring non muslims
3. massacring muslims of different sects
4.stealing anything that isn't nailed down
5. capturing women for sex slavery
6. Giving people the option of CONVERT then DIE OR just die.

But there are fans...Look at the really COOL tee shirts.

Imam held for supplying T-shirts with ISIS slogan

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/imam-arrested-for-supplying-tshirts-with-isis-slogan/article6288657.ece



In a significant breakthrough, the Ramanathapuram police have arrested a Tirupur-based Imam, who had procured T-shirts and printed slogans in support of the Islamic State in Iraq and al Shams (ISIS) before sending them to the Muslim youths in Thondi, who had posed for a group photograph sporting the T-shirts in front of a mosque recently. The Hindu was the first to report this development which has now gone beyond a flutter.

After the arrest on Monday night of M. Abdul Rahman (24) and his accomplice Rilvan, who organised the photo session and had ordered the T-shirts, a special police team from the district visited the hosiery town of Tirupur and detained S.Faizur Rahman (27) who procured the T-shirts and supplied them to Rilvan after printing a modified ISIS emblem on them.

“The special police team brought Faizur Rahman here on Wednesday and he was arrested for arranging the T-shirts for the youths,” the District Superintendent of Police N.M. Mylvahanan told The Hindu.

As he had arranged the T-shirts with full knowledge after receiving the designs and money from Abdul Rahman and Rilvan, he was also arrested under section 7 (1) (a) of the Criminal law Amendment Act (doing illegal activities and induce others to engage in unlawful activities) read with section 120 (b) of Indian Penal Code (criminal conspiracy), the SP said. He was produced before a magistrate court and remanded in judicial custody.

I'm not sure I like the sound of that. Evidently freedom of expression isn't a thing in India.

But then there's this:

A "deeper investigation" revealed that the main accused were active supporters of the ISIS and allegedly trying to brainwash Muslim youths for the cause that the ISIS was fighting for.


A much better reason for arresting someone, I think.

In the US, someone can't be arrested just for wearing a t-shirt with a swastika, right? Sure, I think doing that earns one the watchful eyes of the SPLC and probably the NSA, FBI, and other acronyms we don't even know of. But until someone commits an actual crime, other than merely expressing an unpopular opinion, hopefully they aren't arrested.
