Islamic State (IS) militants are allowing jihadists to play table football only on one condition, that they behead the model players.

According to the Daily express, IS militants justify the act saying that the creation of statues is banned in their interpretation of Islam.

However, the extremists killed 13 teenagers in Iraq last month for watching Asian Cup match.

They believe that the heads from the small figures in table football need to be removed to make it clear that they do not resemble statues.

The table football rule came in a leaked batch of IS administrative document that focused on education, public services and religious life.
