Original Note:
The post falsely claims a radical Shia Samedov as an ISIS member. This is incorrect, as ISIS follows a radical Sunni ideology and is fundamentally opposed to Shia beliefs. Baku Grave Crimes Court sentenced Samadov to 12 years in prison in Azerbaijan for his radicalism. https://www.uscirf.gov/religious-prisoners-conscience/forb-victims-database/movsum-samadov https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/50/article/689752/pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Shias_by_the_Islamic_State
