Iraqi officials say that an Islamic State (IS) militant gunned down at least 150 women for refusing to marry members of the terror group.

According to FOX News, Abu Anas Al-Libi is suspected of gunning down the women, mostly Yazidis, because they refused to enter into sham temporary marriages with Islamic State fighters simply to have sex in what the terrorists believe to be a Koranic loophole.

The Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights said in a statement that al-Libi mercilessly shot to death 150 women and girls, some of whom were pregnant after they refused to accept Jihad marriage.

The statement further read that women eho were being held captive in cities like Fallujah and adjoining villages were being forced into marriage with IS militants.

 

Condemning the act by the terror group, the Iraqi minister said that such a Fatwa was "cheap" and demonstrated the "devilish-like behaviour" and low moral standing" of the IS militants.
