Urfa, Turkey – Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, alleged caliph of the Islamic State (IS/ISIS), issued orders banning filming scenes of slaughter against opponents by the group’s militants, pro-IS media sources revealed on Friday. 

In an official letter to all IS media offices, al-Baghdadi banned releasing any scenes that contain brutal actions.  

The IS leader justified his decision, considering the general feelings of Muslims, who may regard the scenes as disgusting and scary to children, according to pro-IS sources. 

Some of IS militants supported Baghdadi’s decision, taking into consideration criticism of the public that describes scenes of beheadings as barbaric. While other militants rejected the decision saying that such scenes are meant to intimidate their enemies, represented by western powers, and not the common folk.
