This smells a lot like the FGM story about ISIS last week. It may or may not be true, but ISIS is so horrible it seems plausible.
There are a lot of stories that come out of mainstream media that prove to be less or more than what they appear at first press.
Ever heard me bitching about science by press release stories from the apocalyptic division of the MSM? There are a lot of press releases that turn out to be bogus after a week's investigation, you just don't hear about them, because the MSM does not follow up on those particular stories. Remember
"OMG...Polar vortex...warm weather is making things colder...science says." Well, as an example that, of course, was bullshit. Yes the Polar Vortex can connect us to the cold. No, warm weather does not cause it. But you wanna talk Daily Mail? That was BBC and The Guardian.
A bunch of the stories that broke last week out of the Palestinian conflict proved to be a little dodgy on the details of blame for the perp when pics began to come out showing details of Hamas rocket fire as more plausible explanations, or videos were found of mortar fire coming out of supposedly innocent schools or hospitals.
After some investigation the FGM thing looked to be more a regional story that began amongst the Kurds. Perhaps a rumor on its way to Urban legend status, but there were official claims to veracity from police and the UN. At this point though, it's who knows? Wasn't that one Al Jazeera or Al Arabiya or something like it?
As to this particular story I'll be honest. I first heard about it on a counter jihad blog. They were making a big deal of it, so I Googled for a mainstream article to post here. Daily Mail's was the first I found.
Here's where I first saw the story though. He claims the "Caliphate" first released the video.
