A Syrian woman appears to have been stoned to death in an undated video released Tuesday by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), whose medieval worldview of a caliphate under the fundamentalist Sharia Law has been ruling Syrian and Iraqi territories since June.

The Syrian Observatory for Human rights reported a video featuring ISIS militants stoning a woman accused of adultery. The brutal execution, which the Observatory said took place in Hama, Syria, began with a man who appears to be the leader of a Sharia Law council sentencing a woman with stoning as punishment for her adultery.

The said man announced that it was the first time a stoning sentence will be implemented under the ISIS caliphate rule in Syria. He went on to say that the woman committed adultery on her own volition and therefore must be punished for her disobedience of the Islamist law Allah has decreed.

He said she must accept her sentence "because Islam is submitting to the will of God," the Independent quoted the militant as saying.

All these were said in front of her father, who appeared unmoved and repeatedly refused to forgive her daughter of her crime. Seemingly coaxed by the ISIS militants to grant her forgiveness, the father of the girl says, "I can't" and turned to her daughter telling her not to call him father.

The man, who according to the Israel National News is a local sheikh, tied a rope around her and led her to a hole in the ground where she will be buried in the sand up to her neck in accordance with the hard-liner Islamic law.

The ISIS militants, with the father, stoned the woman to her death.

In a statement, Amnesty International UK denounced the barbaric execution as "yet another example of the disgusting depravity of ISIS."

The Hama stoning is almost certain to enrage the West, the International Business Times observed. It has, however, generated a different reaction from among ISIS supporters.

An ISIS member posted the video on Facebook praising the brutal execution as the "beauty of Islam." He warned that Allah's laws will be established whether the West and its allies agree or not.

Under the archaic Sharia laws, the Islamic State has been carving out a caliphate in territories it has overrun in Syria and Iraq. The earlier moniker, ISIL or Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, points to possible future caliphate territories encompassing the Levant, or areas now under Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, and Israel.
