Gaza: Jihadists murder Italian peace activist

Useful idiot falls prey to warring jihadist factions. "Italian peace activist murdered by Islamist militants in Gaza: Pro-Palestinian activist Vittorio Arrigoni's death follows shooting of Israeli actor Juliano Mer-Khamis in West Bank," by Conal Urquhart in the Guardian, April 15:

An Italian peace activist has become the second non-Palestinian to be murdered in just over a week in the occupied territories.

Vittorio Arrigoni was murdered by the Tawheed and Jihad group, one of several extremist Islamic groups that operate in the Gaza Strip in opposition to the Hamas government. The group abducted Arrigoni in an attempt to force Hamas to release its leader, who was arrested last month.

Arrigoni's death comes just over a week after a gunman shot dead Juliano Mer-Khamis, an Israeli actor who ran a theatre in the West Bank city of Jenin. It is not clear why Mer-Khamis was shot but his views about freedom of expression had generated some opposition in Jenin.

Arrigoni, known as Vik, lived in an apartment that he rented separately from his fellow volunteers for the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). The first anyone knew of his abduction was when video was posted on YouTube in which Arrigoni appeared blindfolded with a bruised face.

The accompanying Arabic text said: "The Italian hostage entered our land only to spread corruption." It described Italy as "the infidel state"....

To "spread corruption" is a capital offense in Islamic law (cf. Qur'an 5:33).

Perhaps OT but regional:

From BBC article on the murdered Italian humanitarian 'barrier breaking' activist, Vittorio Arrigoni, by Salafist group within Gaza:

"Salafists practise an ultra-conservative form of Islam and regard Hamas as too moderate."

This is Islam straight-up, in its 'purest' form, such as advocated by its 7th c. warlord Founder and successor Caliphs, a theo-political, supremacist Arab ideology of plunder and murder, booty and slaves, especially women slaves, all for their superstition powered mythology of the blood-lust Moon-god 'Allah'. Pro-Sharia forces would agree.

Murdering Mr. Arrigoni by the Salafists in Gaza, or any murder or this kind (with or without the beheading video, to accompaniment "Allah akhbar!") is totally within the rules of their Koranic playbook. Murder is the True Islam in its crystalline undiluted form, as the Salafists are quick to point out. Why is anyone surprised at Mr. Arrigonni's vicious and senseless murder? Why is anyone "alarmed" over the pro-Sharia ambitions of Salafists in Egypt? This is a totally normal progression once civilization enters its final phases of devolution, such as is witnessed in the revolutionary zeal of the Arab Islamic world, that true enslavement of body and soul takes over where freedom and humanity failed. Such is the nature of true tyranny "to forcibly impose their strict interpretation of Islam" upon the unsuspecting masses of the Maghreb. Slavery is now once again on the ascendent. Welcome to Allah Hell™.

Tawid wal-Jihad have now claimed it wasn't them and everyone is now blaming Israel (natch), saying Israel did it to discourage pro-Palestinian "activist" from coming to Gaza on the next flotilla... Duh, well you've got to find some excuse for an own-goal, specially if you're Muslim and therefore incapable of admitting any sort of fault.

"Useful idiot falls prey to warring jihadist factions."

...........

while i am not jumping with joy, nor handing out candy and sweets, following this senseless murder by (who else???) the muslimes, i am certainly not shedding any tears either.

when an idiot tree hugger gets mauled to death by a 'cute adorable' grizzly bear or dies from a poisonous snake bite that the poor tree hugger was trying to protect and cuddle, you kinda' just roll up your eyeballs don't you?


this is a clear indication of the inherent danger in not identifying a dangerous foe, and mistaking him for a one to befriend....
yeah right!!

A fool dying a fool's death. Harsh but true. My sympathies are not with him but his family.

Hamas' ethical stance of this seems to boil down to: "Dang it, this was our guy."

Murdering a pro-'Palestinian' activist is the sound of Islam shooting itself in the foot. At least several toes gone and bloodied gristle and white ankle-bone glinting in the sunlight.

Clowns!

A quick Google-Image search for "Vittorio Arrigoni" reveals that he tried to style himself as a mixture of Che Guevara, the Zapatista rebel leader Subcomandante Marcos and Yasser Arafascist. How ironic that his Guevara-like end would come about through the hands of his own fellow black-cube-worshipping brown shirts.

Will this be a warning to those trying to follow in his footsteps? I doubt it. They'd much rather believe that Mr. Arrigoni was a victim of a Zionist conspiracy to taint the "immaculate", "innocent", "starving", "peace-loving" nazistinian Arabs than to actually see hard facts shatter the paradigms that have always guided their ignorant political views; much like Obama's buddy Jeremiah Wrong would never be willing to see for himself how the Arabs that he loves and worships so much regard black people like him as scum, preferring instead to believe that blacks and Arabs are both "brothers in suffering" at the hands of the "evil" and "racist" Judeo-Christian white man.

When countries across Africa and the Middle East are attempting to toss off the yoke of dictatorship leave it to the Palestinians to look for a bigger yoke.

I was under the impression that humour is not allowed in Islam. Obviously that is not true, because this is hilarious.

"Arrigoni, known as Vik, lived in an apartment that he rented separately from his fellow volunteers for the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). "

I wonder if his fellow volunteers are peeking out their windows and wondering what they will protest today...They now know they should choose wisely..

"Arrigoni's death comes just over a week after a gunman shot dead Juliano Mer-Khamis, an Israeli actor who ran a theatre in the West Bank city of Jenin. It is not clear why Mer-Khamis was shot but his views about freedom of expression had generated some opposition in Jenin."

because freedom of expression is UN-Islamic.

"I was under the impression that humour is not allowed in Islam. Obviously that is not true, because this is hilarious."

I totally agree.

NOT good he was murdered, and the blame must rest with the Islams, so I'm not saying ISM DID this, but like happened in the Rachel Corrie case, I wonder if ISM is still telling its volunteers that the safety risks are quite low.

Useful Idiots apropos.

Poetic justice.

The dhimmis get hanged, the whimmis get raped. For those desperate for attention, what's not to like? Go Islam!

found this through ann barnhardt's blog.

"To "spread corruption" is a capital offense in Islamic law".

I can quite understand why they don't want any more: they've got enough of it as it is... (whistling innocently).

A frog saw a scorpion standing by the bank of a river. The scorpion was pacing back and forth, looking worried. "What's the matter?" asked the frog.

"I need to cross this river, but I can't swim." the scorpion replied.

"I'll help you." the frog said. "I'll carry you across on my back. Only you mustn't sting me."

"Of course not." the scorpion assured him. But when they got half-way across, the scorpion stung the frog.

"You crazy fool!" the frog gasped, "Why did you do that? Now we're both going to die!"

"Fool yourself!" the scorpion answered. "You knew my nature when you took me on your back."

" "You knew my nature when you took me on your back."

jeremiah 5:21

Chritians , wake up and rise up or else you won't have the other cheek to turn !!

Listen up all you apologists & the ship of fools to be, this is what eventually happens to the keffiyeh adorned, useful idiots.

Another Alien vs Predator - Islamic group for whom even Hamas is not Islamic enough!!! So they're willing to murder their Western sock-puppets.

Fantastic!!! Let's send all Celebreties to Gaza - like Brangelina, Jeaneane Garofalo and so on, so that they can get dealt w/ in ways that they won't be dealt w/ in the West itself. Along w/ the cast of Miral and so on.

''Arrigoni arrived in the Gaza Strip on a boat bringing humanitarian supplies in 2008 that Israel, which enforces a blockade on the tiny coastal territory, allowed into Gaza port''

''Arrigoni, a pacifist and blogger, had lived in the Gaza Strip for some time.''

Two things to say.

1. This is absolutely typical - he arrived as part of a mission bringing humanitarian supplies. islam ALWAYS bites the hand that feeds it.

2. Sorry to have to say it, but Signor Arrigoni was obviously a lefty libtard, deluding himself about the religion of pieces, and busily blogging away about the plight of the palestinian people. But it was the islamists that murdered him, not the Israelis. My granny had a saying: 'fools and knaves get paid out, but fools first.'

Not only are Muslims ideologically heavily divided on the Sunni vs. Shia vs. Sufi vs. Ahmadiyya (and probably even vs. Ibadi) dimension, it would be equally true to state that Islam is also rife with intra-Sunni quarreling on the Salafi vs. Takfiri vs. Wahhabi vs. Ibadi vs...etc dimension. (there are probably some I have overlooked) Each of these separately claiming the others are not pure enough in their interpretation of Islam. Pluralistic Islam, in other words.

The PC/MC MSM have always been very eager to claim Islam is not a monolith, and to a certain extent this also holds true for Sunni Islam: even Sunni Muslims can find unbridled opportunities to scoff each other and to subsequently commit violence against one another. Now, that was probably not what those PC intellectuals intended when they tried to sell us the idea of 'Islamic pluralism' as they conceived it. Finally, a start has been made with Islamic pluralism biting the useful idiots in the ass. Let's have a lot more of it.

Muhahaha !

In future any useful idiot might just carefully study factionalized Islam well in advance before he decides to take a trip to Gaza, just to make sure he backs the 'right' faction. Otherwise, his/her head might end up somewhere in a dumpster. Or would it simply be better to stay at home to occupy yourself with something really useful ? That may be more healthy altogether...

Thanks for digging up this information, Proud Kafir. I wasn't sure if Arrigoni was following this ugly fantasy, or the gentler—but equally foolish—idea of the "Palestinians" as a poor, oppressed "minority group".

It always amazes me that the mainstream media can style such bellicose figures as "peace activists".

As ugly as his vision of "romantic" communist insurgency might have been, he couldn't match the savagery of Islam. He walked into a situation where his murderers considered even the brutal Hamas to be "insufficiently Islamic", and considered Arrigoni himself, in the end, to be nothing but another "filthy Kafir".
