it's not a personal attack. I don't get why you feel the need to advertise that you don't believe a story. Don't believe it and move on. your comment is irrelevant to the thread.
There's not one damn thing wrong with saying that you think a story is b******t when it clearly stretches credulity.
Your story stretches the hell outta credulity and THEN some.
Frankly, I don't believe it either, and neither should anyone with good sense. It's ridiculous.
They could just put a bullet in their heads and be done with it. And who in the hell witnessed such a thing and reported it to the media in the first place?

No it's not. The article is from Fox News, but the only source quoted
is Fars News !
Do you know that Fars News is the least reliable state-sponsored service
in Iran ? Fars News is worse than Press TV.
It's rather ironic that Fox News picks and chooses which Fars News
sources to believe, and when to believe them, based on their own
agenda, and that's all it is, because when Fars releases information
that Fox News doesn't wish to disseminate, they run away from Fars
and call them nothing but Iranian propaganda.
What kind of marinade was it? We know that there was no nice Chianti, but they might have had some fava beans since they are native to the Middle East.

Without knowing the specifics of this particular story, I can speak to ISIS treatment of deserters generally.
ISIS gave all their soldiers a 50% pay cut late last year, which seriously cut into their recruiting and retention abilities. Since then, the desertion rate has skyrocketed. ISIS did issue instructions to kill deserters some time ago (about three or four months back, if memory serves). I haven't personally heard of the 'boiled alive' method of execution, but it certainly fits their demented way of maintaining absolute control over people they deem to be offenders. Group drowning is a method I know they have used; so is burning people alive. Mixing the two seems to be a pretty logical, natural progression for them.
ISIS has a history of acutely punishing people in a very public fashion, often videographed. Three days in a steel cage in the hot sun in the public square for smoking cigarettes (a common punishment) to burning people alive for being 'spies' to throwing suspected homosexuals off nine-story buildings tied to plastic chairs. Local people are forced to attend these events so that the word gets out that no misbehavior will be tolerated.
Everyone is free to believe or not believe as they see fit. My office is so full of pictures, videos and personal accounts of this stuff that there is no doubt in my mind they engage in this type of behavior.
