Not odd at all. Wahabi islam holds that the worship of tombs and graven images is haram. ISIS would be committing haram by allowing the idolatry of infidels who did not acknowledge the Prophet (pbuh) to perpetuate. For the niqab crowd this is a major tour de force as it shows that ISIS is not merely fixated on the near enemy, they are also focused on the cosmic enemy. Oh, you meant among western audiences? Yeah, they don't give the first fuck about Western audiences. Anyone who beheads human rights workers has stated their disdain for Western audiences beyond a reasonable doubt. Dore Gold probably blows 3 chapters on Islam and the destruction of idols in The Fight for Jerusalem.
