"They...cut their heads one after the other and thereafter, shouted allah akbar in wild celebration accompanied with several gun shots"

Re-posting my copy of the original comments made to this article while we were using IntenseDebate.

JUSTSAYNO2ISLAM - I guess it's time all Christians all over the world start arming themselves to figh off the cancer called Islam. I just purchased my second AR15 rifle the other day and another 1000 rounds of ammo. I hope they try this crap in the US. They will get what is coming to them.

JETCAL said - I’m surprised they didn’t roast and eat him afterwards.
-IPSOFACTO said - Having your traditional "Two Minutes' Hate", in the process of dehumanizing the enemy?

Must certainly hope you are getting your daily catharsis here.

Roasting the enemies of Gud used to be a Christian speciality a few hundred years ago.

Hate never solved any problems, understanding why people commit atrocities does. So our reason and humane thinking may help them to become civilized like the Christians did. Apart from a tiny minority killing a few doctors and firebombing abortion clinics most a the Christians have become rather civilized.

Seeing the barbarians also as victims might actually help us solve the problem!

P.S. This comment covers most of the activities in the comment section of JW.
So don´t take it as a personal insult.

-JETCAL to IPSOFACTO - (quoting) 'Having your traditional "Two Minutes' Hate", in the process of dehumanizing the enemy?" '
- No just expressing my disgust. I apologize if my sarcasm was too veiled.
I fully appreciate your concern that I may be dehumanizing these people. But quite frankly they did so themselves.

"Seeing the barbarians also as victims might actually help us solve the problem!"
- Ipso, generally you're a rational poster. But that is a "multi-cultural" response that I cannot agree with.
Have a good weekend my friend.

-BASEBALLMAVEN to IPSOFACTO - I have to say i agree with jetcal on that last point--seeing the barbarians as victims is exactly what we're always counseled just before making huge concessions...in fact, it's seeing the palestinians as victims that has made the USA and Europe incapable of recognizing their evil.

-TOMDAVIS to IPSOFACTO - Christians committed relatively few atrocities in the name of their faith before Islam appeared, and the same is true after they became dominant over Islam.

The vast majority of historic Christian atrocities began in self defense against Islam, became institutionalized, and then spread into non-Islamic situations.

It didn't end until Christians repented for turning on each other during the Reformation and the Enlightenment helped break the mental encrustations that had developed.

"Seeing the barbarians also as victims might actually help us solve the problem! "

Generally, it often did.

Many if not most barbarians were converted. Even the Huns decamped after appeals to turn from violence.

The two great exceptions were the Islamic attackers on Europe and the pre-Islamic Mongols; both groups were simply too wedded to enjoyment of violence and to an inability to see themselves as victims of their own beliefs. Christian compassion for one's enemy simply had no positive effect with them. The second group is long gone, but the first...

-KAFFIRKANUCK to IPSOFACTO - Dude, using past actions by Christians, which in secular democracies we’ve move on from and don’t do that anymore, to relativistically make arguments for pro-multiculturalization attitudes (those poor barbarians, they were such victims and products of their time) doesn’t work. We’ve moved on. What we need is de-sensitization and thicker skins and not take offence to everything that is said, because if we do, we’ll become just like them…the ignorant muslim illiterati prone to violence at the drop of a hat because it is OK to take or perceive offence where none is present.

You can understand the “enemy” all you want, but if you deny and repress your base instincts and allow the rage to flow, it’ll just build up and destroy you. Man is an emotional animal, and it seems islam has failed to facilitate the balance necessary for humans to deal with their emotions, because when it does come out, it’s not in the form of art, advancement in science, humanistic endevours, or advancement of civilization in any way.

I understand the “enemy.” And the more I do, the less I am outraged.

There is a cool calm serenity that comes over you when you understand what would try to strike fear into you through perfidy.

No atrocity or attempted usurpation of my society by islam makes me ask why anymore.

I know, and I know that you know, but I don’t think you can actually bring yourself to believe that deep down inside, you know that the followers of islam cannot be reconciled into modern society as long as they hold on to their beliefs, which makes them muslim.

Islam must die, or we will. The free spirit of humanity demands a devil to keep the balance, to keep things from stagnating, and we have been blessed with the greatest devil of all time. (I know, a lot of people want to say Obama at this point, but he can only have so many terms…unless he gets his caliphate!)

SENCIT said - What an evil, inhumane cult Islam is!
They should all be shamed by this, but Islam knows no shame - barbaric and brutal people who should never be allowed into the West.

GMCCAL said - An orgy of barbaric bloodlust.

Why am I not surprised.

TOAST&MARMALADE said - ......it's OK......this is not the real Islam....and the authentic muslims will be out on the streets worldwide....enraged by this atrocity....just like they were when that cartoon was drawn in Denmark.......just you wait and see.....

TANSTAAFL said - Now if any other religion beheaded a Muslim cleric (I am not condoning this activity, I am simply making a point).........................it would be topic number one on the mainstream media.

Is our media reporting the news or trying to shape future events?

DUHSWAMI said - There are only so many words to describe the evil that is Islam...maybe ten thousand or so.
Where's Abdullah to 'splain' to us how this is just an isolated incident committed by a few Islamic pretenders...
Just the same there seems to be a lot of these incidents, and lots of pretenders...
While Abdullah speaks Mahoundian atrocities increase both in number and cruelty...
Christians are not the only targets, but they are a favorite target...Mahoundians are reversing the trend of 'First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people'.

The Saturday people are armed and difficult to get to, the Sunday people are not armed and are in close proximity to those who hate them, and would attack them...And are attacking them...

-GRAVENIMAGE said to DUHSWAMI - The Saturday people are also rather thin on the ground in Nigeria, whereas there are an abundance of Christians to victimize in that country--and the Muslims are backed by the adoption of Shari'ah law in the North, and the desire to spread that law throughout the country.

We can see from this what devastating effects it would have on Nigeria's Christian--and animist--populace.

BONESHACK said - (quoting) "They came out later to the courtyard within the compound and cut their heads one after the other and thereafter, shouted allah akbar in wild celebration accompanied with several gun shots,” the eye witness disclosed."

Folks. I don't about you, but these recurrent (and rising) events in Nigeria, Egypt, Pakistan, etc, just leave me stunned. I have no words left to describe my contempt and hatred towards this vile cult called Islam.

Forgive me.

-GRAVENIMAGE said to BONESHACK - One never has to apologize for holding evil in hatred and contempt, Boneshack. It is a sign of moral sanity.

-SENCIT said - Just call it "righteous indignation".

-CORNELIUS told SENCIT - I too struggle with the feelings of hatred.

It's one thing to recognize Islam as the sociological evil that it is,...that's easy.

It's quite another to acknowledge that - though we try to distinguish Muslims as human beings from Islam as a "religion" - truth be told, the manifest evil found in the teachings of Muhammad and the Quran would have no worldly expression without Muslims.

As far as my personal conduct is concerned (I live in a locality with a heavy Muslim presence), I can't help but feel revulsion at the sight of the long beard and the hijab.

On the other hand, I make an honest effort to maintain the decorum of basic human decency; I reciprocate when greeted in passing, and would without hesitation come to the aid of any Muslim woman (or child) - regardless of the garb she was wearing, if she were in distress.

I'm not capable of 'loving the sinner while hating the sin.'
The best I can do is to hold on to my basic humanity...and to the extent possible, try to judge each individual on their own merits.

LEEVY said - Again l ask for the these western converts to islam, you know like this abdulah mikhail? can he see how when islam is let loose within muslim lands what happens to non-Muslims? cannot they see how they preach their type of islam does not exist in a Muslim state, and that from their lofty place in a Western land with "Secular Western laws" they are safe. next time of of these converts try to decieve, you tell them to go live among their brethen and see which type of islam they will end up with.

BLANGWORT said - Islam is widely recognized for its comparative tolerance of other religions --in 7th century society. Sadly, the fundamentalists haven't learned a thing since then. They continue to espouse tolerance, while executing those who disagree with them.

May these scum live to learn the error of their ways. It will hurt them more than dying, something I'm sure many would be only too eager to help them do.

-WINOCEROS said - How is the subjugation and annihilation of most area Christian and pagan regions surrounding Mecca and Medina in the century after Muhammed's death "tolerance of other religions"?

-BLANGWORT said - Well, during that era, if you disagreed with the powers that be and you made it known to them, you died. Islam, at the time, was relatively open minded in that they didn't automatically execute people who didn't believe as they did. They "merely" subjugated them and taxed them. The fact that they recognized their roots, even though these roots were antithetical to their beliefs, was a major milestone in religious tolerance --for the seventh century.

By today's standards, this kind of behavior is considered barbaric. Some religions grow old gracefully. Clearly, this one is still trying to figure that out. It may well be that all Abrahamic religions develop a 1400 year itch of sorts...

-WINOCEROS told BLANGWORT - Ah, that special kind of tolerance that just allows life without liberty.

We Americans get so confused! :)

-GRAVENIMAGE said - I'm sorry, blangwort--I have to disagree. You hear this a lot--that Islam was "tolerant for its time", or that it needs time to evolve.

Firstly, Christianity was not a bellicose religion at its founding, as Islam was, dating from the earliest time that Muhammed was able to gather a fighting force when he decamped for Medina. In fact, Early Christians were martyred for their faith in huge numbers for centuries (much like these Christian pastors in the story above, in fact).

As for Islam developing a "1400 year itch"--when did Islam *not* have this itch? Violent expansive Jihad has been going on for virtually the entire history of the religion. The only times this expansive Jihad has faltered has been in the face of a stronger opposing force--such as the Mongol invasions of the Middle Ages, or the Western colonial period, which had kept the Jihad somewhat quiescent for the past 200 years.

As soon as Western colonial power began to wane, Jihad reemerged with a vengeance.

-EBONYSTONE told GRAVENIMAGE - "As soon as Western colonial power began to wane . . . "

Demographics plays a major role in this decline. A few examples:
U.K. 1905 pop. -- 45 million
U.K. 2005 pop. -- 56 million, an avg annual increase of 0.31%
France 1905 pop. -- 39 million
France 2005 pop. -- 55 million, an avg annual increase of 0.34%
Algeria 1905 pop. -- 4.5 million
Algeria 2005 pop. -- 31 million, an avg annual increase of 1.95%
Egypt 1905 pop. -- 11 million
Egypt 2005 pop. -- 65 million, an avg annual increase of 1.79%
(for the European figures, I've counted only the indigenous population, not the millions of immigrants)

-BASEBALLMAVEN said to BLANGWORT - Huh? Seems to me that "if you disagreed with the powers that be and you made it known . . . you died" hasn't changed--people are being killed right now for being 'infidels'-did you read the article.

Sorry, the idea of religions evolving doesn't seem to work with islam--it's devolving if anything.

-BAHOONIES said - Blangwort, when you say that Islam is widely recognized for its comparative tolerance of other religions, what sources are you quoting?

The reality is that the expansion of Islam by violence is responsible for more deaths over 1400 years than any other form of totalitarianism.

The excesses of Stalin and Mao Tse Tung look like a picnic with Mother Teresa by comparison. How does 270 million people killed sound to you? And it continues to this day. Here's a link:

http://markhumphrys.com/islam.killings.html

The fundamentalists are the true face of Islam. For them concepts like tolerance, compassion and equality do not exist.
Islam does not tolerate. It seeks to dominate and ultimately destroy all other faiths.

ISABELLATHECRUSADER said - (quoting) "Pastor George Orjih was beheaded on the instruction of the Boko Haram leader because the clergy man refused to accept Islam."

Yom-seem, Abdullah Mike, Metamucil and Ferfegnugen, pay attention to how a real man dies.

Unlike the Muslim cowards who killed him, with all their armed buddies around them and their discomfort in the face of one Christian pastor, this man had guts and he knew what he was dying for.

No sick sexual fantasies in the sky, no unforgiven guilt for being human; just a man who clearly knows Who the true God is and was willing to make the same sacrifice that his God made for him.

There's nothing impressive you guys, about ten Muslim cowards with guns cutting off the head of one unarmed man, so please come down from your high horse. And cutting off this man's head will be like cutting off the head of the Hydra,. there will be thousands of new Christians that come to life because of this act.Tthe tree of life is watered with the blood of martyrs.

Look and learn.

-SOUNDER said - (citing Isabella) "Yom-seem, Abdullah Mike, Metamucil and Ferfegnugen, pay attention..."

Oh they are aware of the evil but cannot ever admit it. It's because of the crusades you see. There. Settled. They will however, readily admit JW consists of a bunch of Islamophobes for noticing this story about Muslim barbaric acts.

WINOCEROS said - There is simply no other reason for the beheadings than the Q'uran. There is truly no other item in play...no money, no politics, no land...

just a desire to kill those who prosyletize another faith. What "religion" teaches us that?

Mohammed out-Marxed Marx.

GORDO said - Mohammed Yusuf was caught hiding in a goat pen. He belonged there.

The New York-based Human Rights Watch called for an investigation of Yosuf's death. “The Nigerian authorities must act immediately to hold to account all those responsible for this unlawful killing"
"human rights campaigners have alleged that he (Mohammed) had been executed without due process and warned of revenge attacks to come."
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/afric...
They better get those freedom fighters to the safety of western shores where Sharia law is a postive for society.

GRAVENIMAGE said - (quoting) "The Yusufiya men who were armed on that Tuesday afternoon were not comfortable with the pastors"
............................

They were "not comfortable with the pastors"--and what did this discomfort lead to? Why, the savage beheading of these discomfiting men, all the while yelling "Allah Akbar". Why is it that Allah always seems to show his "greatness" in acts of barbaric violence?

This model was set by Islam's perfect man, the "Prophet" Muhammed. From the Sira:

"Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24. Narrated Ibn Umar: Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered by Allah to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Mohammed is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me and their reckoning will be done by Allah."

And if they resist conversion, their fate will be the same as these brave pastors.

MRSJ said - My heart aches for these pastors and others killed simply for their beliefs. For centuries, it's been easy to be a Christian, at least in the West, and my faith has never been tested. I hope it never is, but these days I'm not so sure.

KEPHA said - I would to God that the blind Dhimmi we have leading us would forget about Ummayad Andaluz, which went under in the 1000's or thereabouts (NOT to the Reconquista and Inquisitition, as our historically challenged Prex would have it) and take a good, hard look at what's happening now.

Then again, my strong suspicion is that the present-day secular Leftist leaders of the Western world won't speak out about persecution of Christians in Egypt and Pakistan because, in their hearts of hearts, they reproach themselves for not having the guts to act on their convictions like their fellow post-Christians of northern Africa and southwestern Asia. And in America, they may fear that if they did act on their convictions, firearms in the hands of Evangelicals would suddenly become dangerous to living things other than deer and ducks in season.

-MO said - "I am also coming to the ugly conclusion that the reason there is silence on this issue is that people here in the U.S. really do feel the same way about Christians. They're just too civilized to act on it the way these Muslims have done."

Second part of my copy of the original comments for this article.

MOSHAV said - None of this should surprise anyone. islam has been at war with civilization for 1400 years. The koran prescribes, directs, and sanctions the slaughter of non-muslims. This is a conflict for our lives and our posterity.

Any government that believes negotiation with these sociopaths will yield compromise and peaceful resolution is kidding itself and its people. We have to do to muslims what they so fervently hope to do to us.

INFIDEL4EVER said - Mind you, all these examples of "Islamic Tolerance" (there's 2 words that don't go together) never make it to the MSM's coverage cycle. It's all those intolerant Islamophobes who need to be shut down, don't 'ya know! They always cover it as "religious strife", instead of calling it what it is, Muslims murdering non-Muslims as Islamic scripture demands.

JEWISHOD said - The human rights groups went ballistic when this Muslim maniac was summarily executed by the Nigerian forces shortly following his capture...Funny how we haven't heard a peep from them as to the victims of this barbaric jihadi.

TRAEH said - "Education is Sin." Light is evil, Darkness is good. Uh, yeah. I get it. We're all gonna become cockroaches under Islam. Cool.

IMNOKUFFAR said - Amazingly (not) nothing on the international news, nothing in the press, nothing from christian organisations or if there is it is probably ignored. If this had been 3 mullahs getting downsized we would never hear the end of it. When are people going to wake UP !!!

IMAMERICAN said - These animals rely on the christian teaching of non-violence to spread their havoc. The beheaded priest is a saint by all means. I pray the christians of nigeria stand up and fight back. It's the only way. They have to invoke their own crusade if they intend to continue to exist. The muslims will not stop. And yes the MSM is prejudiced against christians and jews. They purposely ignore stories like this.

TOMMO2 said - Murder and persecution of Christians is a growing trend as Islam continues with its relentless expansionist programme across the world.

http://media2.terrorismawareness.org/files/MPAC.s...

HUGUENOT said - What is so pathetic is that few American religious organizations will talk about this evil. As said above the Methodists, et al, just shrug and blame the Jews, as if another Islamic state will solve all the problems of the world. What cowardly, head in the sand stupidity!

-DUMBLEDORESARMY said to HUGUENOT - Something to bear in mind - there *are* Christians who are trying to do something. Visit 'The Barnabas Fund'. Also check out the '30 Days Prayer Focus' - throughout Ramadan as Muslims seethe and hiss and curse, millions of Christians will be praying *against* the malevolence of Islam, praying for the spiritual liberation of Muslims. And in November there's an event called 'the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church' - google it. You may be able, via their website, to find out about events taking place in the USA - in churches that *do* care, and *do* know.

Maybe one day, there will be a day, perhaps the Feast of All Souls, when all the Cathedrals and churches of the non-muslim world will toll their bells together all day long in memory of the Tears of Jihad - the 270 million (guesstimated) non-Muslim victims of Muslim jihad warfare and enslavement.

NAJIN said - I can't tell you how many Muslims I've talked to recently that were lamenting to me about their poor, oppressed, muslim selves because of the murder of just one muslim woman in Germany about 2 weeks ago, painting the picture that the entire West suffers from "Islamophobia" because one woman was killed by one man - yet they are totally silent about the murders perpetrated by Muslims around the world on other groups almost daily.

I think all of Egypt was crying over this one Muslim lady, beating their chests in righteous indignation and ignoring the numerous attacks on their fellow Copts and pretending as if the attacks on French teenaged tourists just 5-6 months ago never took place.

When was the designation of "Kafirphobia" placed on all of Egypt or the Muslim world for that matter by their so-called pundits after their extremists blew up tourist kids? Or gunned down Germans in the temple of Hatshepsut? They truly see the world in black and white, us vs them.

The murder of Christians at the hands of fellow Muslims doesn't mean a damn thing to them, yet we are all supposed to care when one, any, Muslim suffers.

It shows from the way they speak and the reports prepared by their media and their reaction to it all.

They want a steady stream of forgiveness and high-minded individuality rewarded to them by non-Muslims, but aren't prepared to offer the same. I just wish more people realized the double standards and political games they play.

BILLWHIT said - "I have always considered myself a Warrior of God, who will fight for Right, in the Lord Jesus' name. What we need are people who do to the muslims what they do to us. The unfortunate part is that our True God is a God of Love and Light, whereas, their so-called god (satan?) is a enity of Death and Darkness. We have turned the other cheek too many times!"
