A farcical ISIS terrorist demanded a shopkeeper pop all the balloons in his shop - because they looked a little bit like breasts.

The bizarre incident took place in Raqqa, Syria, soon after Islamic State took the city as their 'capital' in 2014.

That's according to 'John', a Syrian Christian, who was allowed to stay after the occupation because he paid jizya, a tax ISIS imposes on Christians in the lands it controls.


In an interview with World Watch Monitor , he said: "I remember a funny incident.

"A shopkeeper had a red balloon in the shape of a heart in his window. IS came in, screaming that this was a sin.

"The shopkeeper said it was just a balloon. The IS man insisted that this was sin because the shape could also be seen as a woman’s breasts. The shopkeeper had to pop the balloon.”

John learned how to live under ISIS despite such bizarre intimidation, though after 18 months it became too much and he and his family left.

He said: "One day an IS man heard my name mentioned and immediately understood that I was a Christian.

"I saw the expression on his face change. ‘Are you an unbeliever?’ he asked me.

"I replied: ‘Don’t you know this verse from the Koran that anyone who believes in God, in angels, in the books and in his prophets, in good and bad and in eternal life, is a believer?’

"He was shocked that I knew this verse from the Koran and he walked away."
