It seems that the old adage “What Goes Around Comes Around” may be coming true for the vicious terrorists who call themselves the Islamic State. You see, Breitbart is reporting that numerous Iraqi and Kurdish media sources are claiming that the Ebola virus has weaved its way into the putrid ranks of ISIS.
Three outlets reported that Ebola showed up at a hospital in Mosul, a city 250 miles north of Baghdad that’s been under ISIS control since June 2014. The reports, however, have perpetuated mostly in pro-government and Kurdish media.
“We have no official notification from [the Iraqi government] that it is Ebola,” Christy Feig, WHO’s director of communications told Mashable.
Feig added that WHO is in the process of reaching out to government officials in Iraq to see if they need help investigating the cases, a task that could be a challenge, given the restrictions that would come with operating in ISIS-controlled territory.
Mashable notes that to date it’s unclear how many, if any, fighters have traveled from West Africa to join ISIS, the region hardest hit by the Ebola outbreak. Still, it’s not impossible for a determined jihadist. Or a determined virus.
Reports indicate that the afflicted militants are showing symptoms similar to those of Ebola, but that it’s unlikely that testing for the often-fatal virus is even possible, particularly given the lack of medical facilities, and the ruthlessness of ISIS and its backward stance against science or anything resembling modernity. Like personal hygiene. Or modern medicine.
Meanwhile, over on Twitter, Instapundit weighed in on the likelihood of a nasty visit by Karma:
I DOUBT THIS IS TRUE, BUT I WOULDN’T MIND IF IT WERE. DOES THIS MAKE ME A BAD PERSON? Iraqi… http://t.co/E8JmiHJecA via @instapundit

Nope. And you’ve got an army of like-minded, moral American infidels echoing that very sentiment.
My personal favorite:
@instapundit i agree – probably fake…but just to be safe: send them fake Ebola vaccine. Win-Win.

And further support:
@instapundit No it does not. And trust me, you're not alone. Next time you feel guilt, remember what they're doing to non-believers.

Regardless of whether the illness turns out to indeed be an Ebola outbreak, or simply another illness mimicking the virus’ symptoms, the kicker is this: Among other unspeakable atrocities, ISIS has reportedly been routinely executing doctors who refuse to join field hospitals or treat injured ISIS terrorists. That’s right. The Islamic State geniuses are exterminating the only people who can possibly treat their reported mystery illness. And that, my friends—coupled with a slow, painful death at the hands of a microscopic enemy with no conscience—is what we call Karma. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of 15th century savages.
Happy New Year.
This is probably a fake story, but if ISIS did contract Ebola it is so they could spread it. A way to get it is infect ISIS martyrs/terrorists and send them to Europe to spread it. Remember a lot of ISIS fighters can travel make to Europe on passports from their adoptive countries.
Like my comment below what you’re saying would not be a shock to me either. These fanatics have said plenty of times that they love death so it would make perfect sense to do this by their warped logic. This is why I am totally in favor of exterminating ISIS by any possible means as they are no different than the rats that spread the Black Death in the past.
All very true, BloggerLady and Appalled. And if it is true, I’m all for kicking them even harder while they’re down.
The year is only 2 days old and we already have a feel good story for the year (so I hope).
Of course it would not surprise me at all if our very own Emperor Ebola decides to bring some of these ISIS types right to the US for some of that “humanitarian” treatment that worked so well last year. Anything to score a few points with the ummah, right?
One can hope it is true!

ISIS would just use Ebola as a weapon, turn it into another biological weapon.
