It's fourteen centuries old and it sanctifies vile acts that cynically exploit our modern ethics.

Al-Qaeda group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on Tuesday urged its fighters to crush other rebel groups in Syria, in an audio message from the groups spokesman.
Abu Mohammad al-Adnani called on ISIL fighters in Syria to crush them (the rebels) totally and kill the conspiracy at birth, warning opposition fighters that none of you will remain, and we will make of you an example to all those who think of following the same path, AFP reported.
