While the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is now “facing cash and manpower shortages,” ISIS is also having to deal with another unexpected problem, one similar to Ted Cruz just a few months ago. The organization has had to pull its latest execution video from social media after one of the executioners in the video was discovered to have previously worked as a soft-core porn actor.
The video featured a group of Shia Muslims sitting in a group-therapy circle speaking about their infidel beliefs when a bearded ISIS member enters the room and beheads them. The bearded man, however, was found to have been played by actor Muhammad Hardwood, best known for his roles in soft-core porn movies including “Bangin’ in Baghdad” and “Sharia Shagging.”

“We put out an open casting call for actors, specifically asking for a muscular, bearded man who knew how to handle his sword,” an ISIS spokesman told The Mideast Beast. “An intern, who has since been burnt to death, was in charge of vetting the actors but clearly failed to do so.”
Following the removal of the video, Mr. Hardwood said he was disappointed but held no hard feelings towards ISIS over its decision.
“I certainly understand how association with questionable sexual practices could hurt ISIS’s stellar reputation,” Mr. Hardwood wrote in a tweet.
