ISIS CONFIRMS THEIR “CHIEF SINGER AND SONGWRITER” KILLED BY AIRSTRIKE IN SYRIA. “In related news, ISIS has a chief singer and songwriter:”
Supporters of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) confirmed on Twitter that the extremist group’s chief singer and songwriter has been killed in airstrikes in eastern Syria, CBS News’ Khaled Wassef reports.

According to Mother Jones*, “Saleel al-Sawarem” celebrates martyrdom and holy war, with lyrics such as: “The banner has called us, to brighten the path of destiny, to wage war on the enemy, whosoever among us dies, in sacrifice for defense, will enjoy eternity in paradise.”
I certainly hope the instruments that Saleel chose for his songs were all ISIS-approved; otherwise it may have been only a matter of time before ISIS themselves would have terminated his contract with equally extreme prejudice as our own airstrike.
* Wait, CBS is quoting far left Mother Jones? Next you’re going to tell me that Dan Rather has hosted fundraisers for the lefties at The Nation magazine after spending a career at the network impugning anyone who dared question that he was anything less than the very paragon of “objectivity.”
