AP / GETTYWhile Islamic State, also known as ISIS, have not issued official condemnation of Mother's Day their supporters reportedly blasted the holiday on social networking site Twitter.
Moulds bearing celebratory phrases were confiscated in the Syrian town of Al-Mayadeen on Saturday – the date on which Mother's Day is celebrated in the Middle Eastern country.

They added that Islamic State view Mother's Day as "heresy".
Jihadists seized the eastern Syrian town in July last year and have faced violent resistance to their actions in the area.
Last year they murdered over 700 members of a local tribe during a three-day spate of killings.
Since then IS members in Al-Mayadeen have been the targets of a number of mysterious hit-and-run shootings.

SOHR director Rami Abdel Rahman attributed the attacks to the frustration of people living under the harsh rule of IS.
Besides being against celebrating Mother's Day, reports have also emerged this year showing the jihadists' hatred of statues.
In February, a video emerged showing IS militants destroying ancient statues, some of which thousands of years old, using sledgehammers in Mosul, Iraq.
Earlier this month it was claimed IS were only letting members play table football if they cut off the heads of model players.
The rules regarding how jihadists are allowed to spend their spare time has emerged in a fatwa.
The table football rules were decreed because the militants' interpretation of Islam bans the creation of statues.
