This one's a shocker, eh? You'd think that in all their study of the Qur'an they would have noticed that this sort of thing is forbidden by Islam.
Also, the Reuters headline only mentioned the threat to the UK hostage, although the body of the story is clear that the US hostages were threatened as well. Hmmm. From Reuters:
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Insurgents have threatened to kill two Americans and a Briton unless the United States free Iraqi women prisoners, Al Jazeera says, and a suicide car bomb has killed 23 people outside Iraqi National Guard offices.The Arabic broadcaster aired scenes from a videotape on Saturday of the three men it had obtained from the Tawhid and Jihad Group of
suspected al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, which said Washington had 48 hours to release Iraqi women prisoners in Abu Ghraib and
Umm Qasr."The Tawhid and Jihad Group gave a 48-hour deadline for the release of the women prisoners in return for releasing the two Americans and
Briton kidnapped on Thursday, or they would implement the death penalty against them," Al Jazeera said.
"Tawhid," for those of you who may be just tuning in, is Islamic monotheism. Jihad is the way to ensure its hegemony.
Hostage taking and beheadings no longer hold shock value as we now expect that any that fall into Muslim hands will be so treated. Islam has no pity for they are merely following the example of the Prophet that slaughtered and beheaded during his lifetime. Why should we be surprised when modern Muslims do the same as they accept the Koran as a whole and true document and refuse to repudiate the tenets of jihad and violence? (A rhetorical question as we all know ther answer.) I feel for these women and their families as it unlikely that they will be spared.
Another opportunity for Zaqawi and his Beheading
Butchers to gratify their lust for murder. Shouldn't be surprised if they get orgasms whilst
carrying out 'Allah's Work...'
What would happen, what would be the response if someone in-the-know started rounding up these sleepers and their supporters two and three at a time? What would all the 'so-called' moderate Muslims say if they were beheaded on video? What if it happened frequently, like in Iraq? Would they find their voice I wonder? Would they suddenly overcome their shyness?
For each westerner kidnapped and killed,we should deport one million muslims and close one hundred mosques.
Adela~ Let's take that one step further:
Have the mosques blessed and reopened as Churches. With much public fanfare.
