For The Archives -- An Obituary -- December 4, 2019

Page 82, the last page of the November 2nd - November 8th edition of The Economist. Here is the internet link, behind a paywall. It is interesting that the internet "header" is different than the hard copy.

Third paragraph from the end:

In the cities he conquered he set up offices to take in taxes and traffic fines, register babies and licence (sic) marriages, as in a proper state. He imposed the sharia in which he was expert: hands hacked off for stealing, whippings for drunkenness, adulterous women stoned. He also expanded it, justifying everything smoothly with holy writ. Unbelievers were expelled or killed if they did not pay their taxes. Yazidis were driven from their homes and their women abducted to be sold and raped with organised (sic) efficiency. Enemies were crucified, burned alive, drowned in cages, beheaded with slow saws, while everything was filmed and posted online for the world to observe and dread. He sometimes shared the videos first the kufr women he kept chained in a nearby room for his own pleasure. Raping an infidel woman was a spiritual exercise that brought a believer close to God.
