Islamic State thugs have executed a seven-year-old boy for swearing while playing football with his friends, it has been claimed.

The chilling murder is reported to have taken place on Thursday - just days after he was arrested by ISIS police in the Jihadi's stronghold of Raqqa.

It is alleged the boy, named locally as Muaz Hassan, was playing with friends on Monday when a terrorist walked past and accused him of swearing.

A source said: " Daesh police arrested the Muaz Hassan earlier this week in the city of Raqqa, after they heard him ‘cursing divinity’, while playing in the street with his friends.

"The act was considered an insult to the Caliphate, regardless of the age of the boy."

It is claimed the boy was dragged before a 'court' where the flimsy charges were put before him. It was then decided he should be executed for "insulting the caliphate".

According to Aranews the boy was then taken to a public square where he was shot dead in front of a crow of around 700.

There has not yet been any confirmation of the act from ISIS
