I'm curious as to why ISIS would start eating its captives because a completely different terrorist group ended up stranded and cut off from supplies and was reduced to eating each other to stay alive. I'd really like that connection cleared up here.
Why? As another tool to strike more terror. So they're not above beheading and burning alive their captives as terror tactics, that's getting old, they need a new method. It appears to be that you don't believe they're capable of this. If their Boko Haram cousins can do this, why can't they eventually if they're short of food and their financing gets cut off. And no, Boko is not 'completely different' as you say.
"5 Similarities Between ISIS And Boko Haram
1.Both groups claim to be working for Allah, the Muslim name for God.
2.They force adherents of other religions to convert to Islam or face execution.
3.Both ISIS and Boko Haram have overrun communities and claimed territory as theirs leaving destruction in their wake.
4.The terrorist groups have gone on a murderous rampage in their respective vicinities, killing women, children and even their fellow Muslims.
5.Both groups are very wealthy and are receiving massive funding from unknown sources which allows them to purchase deadly state of the art weapons to carry out their attacks."

Oh I believe they are capable. I just find it a stretch that one terrorist group will be inspired by the survival, desperation tactics of another group. But hey, stranger things have happened.
