ISIS, inspired by Planned Parenthood, issues Fatwa to justify organ harvesting from live subjects

(NaturalNews) It looks as though the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is taking a page out of the Planned Parenthood playbook when it comes to violating the sanctity of life.

As reported by Israel National News, documents seized from ISIS in eastern Syria by U.S. forces last year, include fatwa Islamic religious rulings on a range of issues, including rape and the harvesting of organs.

The papers, which were obtained during an operation in which Islamic State financial officer Abu Sayyaf was killed and his wife captured, "were among seven terabytes of data picked up from computer hard drives, CDs, DVDs and papers" INN reported, citing Brett McGurk, the special presidential envoy for the U.S.-led military coalition that is battling [sort of] ISIS.

INN reported that McGurk shared a number of the documents with Reuters. They included religious rulings by the Islamic State's Research and Fatwa Committee that answers directly to the ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

In particular, "Fatwa Number 64," dated Jan. 29, 2015, provides guidance regarding rape, and lays out when ISIS fighters can and cannot rape females that are captured and enslaved.

Does Planned Parenthood have an office in the Islamic State?

Another order, "Fatwa Number 68," also dating back to January 2015, gives ISIS fighters and others affiliated with the group authority to harvest the organs of a living captive, in order to save the life of a Muslim – even if the captive dies during the harvesting.

Sound familiar?

"The apostate's life and organs don't have to be respected and may be taken with impunity," reads the fatwa. "Organs that end the captive's life if removed: The removal of that type is also not prohibited."

An "apostate," in the view of ISIS, is someone who has either renounced Islam or has never pledged to become a follower. Fatwa Number 68 does not define "apostate," INN reported, but in the past, ISIS fighters have tortured and murdered non-Muslims as well as Shi'ite Muslims, and even some Sunnis who did not conform to ISIS views.

The Israel National News further reported:

"The ruling justifies the organ harvesting by citing cannibalism it says earlier Islamic scholars allowed, saying, 'A group of Islamic scholars have permitted, if necessary, one to kill the apostate in order to eat his flesh, which is part of benefiting from his body.'

"It cited Islamic texts and laws that support 'the notion that transplanting healthy organs into a Muslim person's body in order to save the latter's life or replace a damaged organ with it is permissible.'"

It wasn't clear whether ISIS officials had acted on the fatwa authorizing the harvesting of organs and body parts, but some in Iraq have accused the Islamic State of harvesting and then trafficking human organs.

Last year, an organization known as the Center for Medical Progress began releasing a series of undercover investigative reports which clearly portrayed Planned Parenthood officials at various stages of negotiating the sale of harvested baby body parts.

Liberals and the Obama administration immediately jumped to Planned Parenthood's defense, essentially denying what was plainly occurring in the videos. In recent days, President Obama shed a tear while talking about the horrific murder of children at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, while introducing new executive actions on guns.

Obama – an abortion extremist

CMP simultaneously took him to task for his failure to shed any tears for human babies who were killed and their organs sold for profit, while praising Congress for passing legislation de-funding Planned Parenthood (which gets $500 million annually in tax money).

"[Recently] President Obama wiped tears from his eyes saying: 'Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad.' Mr. President, show the same outrage and compassion for the kids who are killed and harvested for body parts at Planned Parenthood, and parted out and sold across the country like used cars," CMP said in a statement.

"The hypocrisy and callousness of this out-of-touch administration will be on full display if after today, President Obama refuses to listen to the will of the American people and reassign taxpayer money from Planned Parenthood's barbaric abortion and baby parts business to mainstream, full-spectrum health care providers."

And by the way, Obama's record of opposing any limitations on abortion – including the horrific procedure known as partial birth abortion – is well-documented.
