Highlighting the actions of the the most extreme persons and trying to claim that "all" who share their ethnicity must also share their proclivities, albeit latently, is a typical tactic of racism.
Fortunately, no-one in this thread has resorted to that, yet.
Interestingly, even in works of fiction, our tastes limit us to making the victim be the person's pet (a 70s British horror film was years ahead of the bunny boiler one), not their kith and kin.

We have no shortage of 'sick' humour of our own, so how do we know they weren't 'joking' with her?
The guy in the article went to fight against ISIS on the basis of this story. How do we know whether it was just that - a story?
I don't want to be an ISIS apologist here, I'm just exploring the concept of demonisation and why we're so willing to believe horror stories, like this one, just on third-hand accounts?

@SandyRoe,
To maintain the stance of 'skeptic', I have to insist on evidence, at all times and we can guess that no such evidence can/will be forthcoming, after such an atrocity.
To the best of my understanding, Muslims cannot kill other Muslims, on pain of (death+hell) although ISIS are treating non(trigger-word)s as heretics and circumvent thus restriction.
Logically, if they killed the son, for bring the wrong sect, they would have executed the mother, for the same reason. How then, does the horror story reach the outside world?
Two options then:
i) they put this story out themselves, to scare their opponents
ii) their opponents put the story out to enhance recruitment.
