Yemen: American teacher killed on suspicion of "Christian proselytizing"

In a climate of fear created and perpetuated by Islamic supremacists, all one needs to do in order to be vulnerable to accusations of proselytizing is to be visible in daily life as a non-Muslim. To be involved in charitable or philanthropic work also makes one a competitor: the "vilest of creatures" (Qur'an 98:6) and offspring of "apes and pigs" (Qur'an 2:62-66; 5:59-60; and 7:166) ought not to be seen in a positive light. That would be bad for business. "Militants kill American teacher in Yemen," by Mohammed Ghobari for Reuters, March 17 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

SANAA (Reuters) - Gunmen linked to al Qaeda shot dead an American teacher in Yemen on Sunday for Christian "proselytizing", and officials said government forces had killed a dozen militants in clashes and attacks on their strongholds.

The incidents underscore the challenges facing President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who took office last month after a year of massive protests against his predecessor Ali Abdullah Saleh.

A police source in the city of Taiz said a gunman riding on a motorcycle driven by an accomplice shot the U.S. English language teacher, who was also deputy director of a language school, the Swedish Institute.

Officials from the institute in Taiz, Yemen's commercial hub 200 km (120 miles) south of Sanaa, identified the victim as Joel Shrun and said he was born in 1983.

There was no immediate comment from the U.S. embassy.

The gunmen, who escaped after the attack, were believed to be linked to al Qaeda, the police source said. A group affiliated with the militant network claimed responsibility.

"This operation comes as a response to the campaign of Christian proselytizing that the
West has launched against Muslims," an unidentified person said in a text message to journalists, claiming responsibility on behalf of the al Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Sharia (Partisans of Islamic Law).

The message called Shrun "one of the biggest American proselytizers".

Islamic militants often accuse Western aid groups of covert religious missionary work....

Looks like Ridda wars are getting underway again as more and more Muslims decide to leave the Medina Mafia. But, this time, Islam will lose. The trickle has become a flood all over the world.

Clowns!

"Yemen: American teacher killed on suspicion of "Christian proselytizing""

Non-Muslims proselytizing any other religion to Muslims, in an attempt to persuade them to convert out of Islam, is a death penalty offense in sharia.

It amazes me beyond comprehension as to why any Westerner would have anything to do with those "people" in any moslem land. Let the animals annihilate and destroy themselves first...if anyone is remaining after their self-imposed armageddon, then convert them to Christianity. Other than that, stay the hell away from them.

8:65 "O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight."

3:110 "Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind" (Muslims)

vs.

8:55 "vilest of animals" (kuffar, unbelievers)
98:6


In Sahih al-Bukhari, the most canonical hadith collection, Muhammad said,

"Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him."

Various other canonical hadiths attest that Muhammad called for death to those who leave Islam. That's why even today all the schools of Islamic law prescribe death for apostasy from Islam.

See these links to news stories, and also these links to news stories about people being killed for daring to leave Islam. And many, many more such stories have been reported in the global media.

A December 2010 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center found relatively widespread popular support for death penalty as a punishment for apostasy from Islam: in Egypt (84% of respondents in favor of death penalty), Jordan (86% in favor), Indonesia (30% in favor), Pakistan (76% favor) and Nigeria (51% in favor).

This is the problem with Islamic country they will talk about freedom, but the minute somebody speaks they will kill, this is a sign of fear.

Just over two months before Algeria’s legislative poll, the government and political parties are mounting a vocal campaign to secure a high turnout.

The battle for voter participation in the May 10th election did not spare mosques. A top religious affairs official issued an instruction to imams to encourage citizens to vote through their sermons, said Ada Fellahi, an advisor to the minister of religious affairs.

I just got back from having Sunday dinner with my mother-in-law. We were listening to Radio2(BBC) in the car on the way home; the killing of the teacher was reported, but there was *no* mention of proselytizing, or the fact the teacher was in an *islamic* country.

No, the murder was reported as a 'random' killing, and no-one had any idea *why* this had happened. If I wasn't clued in, due to Jihad Watch, and other sources of news not tied to the msm, I would never have had any idea what this was really all about.

In many ways, this is more terrifying - how many people simply get their news from the msm, and never question it ? And therefore, how many people are totally clueless as to what is happening in dar-al-harb, and dar-al-islam ? And what can one do about about it ? I have tried many times to point out out to friends and family that we are simply not informed about the truth of what is happening - tried to point out that the msm either obfuscates, or straight out lies. The reaction is all too often, 'oh, nonsense. Conspiracy theories.' etc. etc.

However, my nephew, a very clever lad, has listened to what I've said, and is *very* impressed with Jihad Watch/Atlas Shrugs/EDL Forum - so, maybe there is hope. 'You can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.'

Maybe the 'elites' aren't as clever as they think they are. Please God.

I have concluded years ago that the moral blindness on part of the majority of the peoples of North America, Europe and Australia vis-a-viw Islam, and their cuddling of Muslims and dismissal of truth will lead to their quick destruction. I see examples of that every single day. However, Islam is not the threat- it never was. The Western world is being destroyed from within, and Muslims happen to be the beneficiaries of the West's suicidal tendencies.

Meanwhile, more rotten fruit from the jihad-subsidy bent of the son of a spouse and child abandoner, who sits in the White House. A Salafist Egyptian quota parliamentarian, and female "beat-me" advocate is reported in the Ikhwan's propaganda sheet.

http://www.ikhwanweb.com/article.php?id=29785

"Dr. Susan Zaghloul: Most previous legislation pertaining to women sought to punish men, as it granted women more rights, as if there were deep hostilities between the sexes. That produced legislation that did not fit with our values, ideals, our beliefs, our customs and traditions. This resulted in the disintegration of the family, and then the loss of the entire society. What is required, now, is a comprehensive review of all legislation, all laws that have been passed during the past few years, which will have to be re-formulated to help maintain the integrity of the Egyptian family in an atmosphere of understanding, cooperation and complementarity between men and women, without either party infringing on the rights of the other, in light of the provisions of Islamic law."

Values? Women in islam are baby factories and lust buckets. This hag was appointed because she has proven human doormat credentials. I don't suppose this pig would be FOR honor-murders?

I believe that you are completely correct, have_mercy. But the converse could also work: maybe if the West turned its back on its chosen, self-destructive course, the global jihad would fizzle away.

A sad story indeed. But as some above have already noted, the greater danger is not knowing what Islam is really about rather than Islam itself.

Knowledge is power and knowledge of Islam is an imperative in our time. So shame on the the bulk of the Western media, be it the BBC, NBC, CBS, CNN, CBC, The New York Times, or whatever usual pathetic excuse for a media outlet that exists out there, for their continued willful ignorance of man's oldest totalitarian ideology which hides itself behind a religious facade.

Islam produces barbarians aplenty but the modern Western media produces excuse makers aplenty for these barbarians. I suppose reasonable minds can agree to differ on which group is the more loathsome. It's a close call though.

One of the worst aspects of Muslims killing Christians for nothing else than proselytizing is the reaction of Westerners to it.

As in a reflex Political Correct or ignorant Westerners will say: "Do not tar all Muslims with the same brush!" and: "That only a tiny minority of Muslims is violent". They will try to be so fair-minded and neutral about the majority of Muslims, those who they come in contact with that they seem pro-Muslims and then pro-Islam as well. While these same people will then turn on their own politicians or equate Muslims with the Christians they know are also .... you know ... somehow bad.

But Muslims, when thus left alone, will often bad-mouth Israel and Americans and as a matter of course they will be affirm that they are loyal to the Islamic worldwide community, the Ummah. And that they prefer all fellow-Muslims above all other humans perhaps too.

And since in a way Islam is the most precious possession of all Muslims, and Islam profits from the suppression of other beliefs and it's proselytizing, all Muslims profit from it.

But never is it asked of Muslims to be first and foremost loyal to the country and governmental system they live in or under.

It is my hope that in reaction to barbaric acts of some Musims we people for human rights and democratic values and laws can demand from Muslims in Democratic Nations at least to:
- Publicly praise Israel and Western countries where Muslims are not shot for proselytising Islam.
- Publicly state that they may prefer democratic Muslims, if they exist, above all else. But that they as second group prefer other democratic humans. Above a third group, Muslims who behave criminally or support criminals, and Muslims who have totalitarian, patriarchalistic ideals.
- Publicly state that they have more loyalty to Democratic Muslims and Kafirs alike than to these bad Muslims.

Oh, the horrors! ..that a Christian might lead a mohammedan slave to the cross of Christ, our loving Savior, towards redemption and freedom from sin and into a right relationship with God Almighty through Jesus Christ our LORD. Yes, such men should be hunted down and slain. Makes perfect sense to me, how about you?

;)

Why do they worry about proselytizing? Muslims won't fall for it if Islam is truly the supreme ideology and Allah is the Greatest.
