So just watched a video about a Syrian man who ate the liver and heart of an enemy soldier he fell. They said there's a historical connection to eating heart and livers of men when it comes to the history of Islam. Found out about this lady, Hindr bint Utbah. The following is taken from wikipedia. * +

Hind bint Utbah was an Arab woman who lived in the late 6th and early 7th centuries CE; she was the wife of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, a powerful man of Mecca, in western Arabia. Both Abu Sufyan and Hind originally opposed the Islamic prophet Muhammad. She was the mother of Muawiyah I, the founder of the Umayyad dynasty, and of Ramlah bint Abi Sufyan, who was one of Muhammad's wives. Her status as a Sahaba (companion of Muhammad) remains questioned because of actions she took against the Muslim community before her conversion, particularly an incident of alleged battlefield cannibalism. * +

Yes, when she cannibalized Muhammad's uncle, she wasn't Muslim, she hated Islam. It's not an Islamic thing, rather a cultural thing, people from all across the world participated in cannibalism for one reason or another especially soldiers. No, what the Syrian man did is nothing too surprising, there are stories like that for other countries as well. Sahaba could be anyone who saw Muhammad and knew him, Islam says your past sins are purified once you convert, so it shouldn't matter to them. * +

Thats not specific to Islam. Not by a long shot. Although I cant remember anything in the Quran which says youre allowed to do that. Must be in a hadith. * +
