The Mail online (who unfortunately use the term deaf-mutes in their article) has reported:
The Islamic State has released a new propaganda video showing two deaf fighters speaking in sign language and urging more Westerners to join the terror group.
The video is titled ‘From Who Excused [sic] To Those Not Excused’ – suggesting that disability is no excuse for not serving for ISIS.
In the five minute clip the two men, who are deaf-mutes and brothers, are shown working as traffic police in Iraq’s second city Mosul, which has been under ISIS control since last summer.

Deaf are free to act as they wish. This includes murdering and beheading and raping people based on an ideas from about 2000 years ago. Right? Maybe it’s time for Deaf to stand up and sign NO NO NO.
