Sharia in action in Yemen: In accord with Qur'an, Muslims crucify man for directing U.S. drones

This man was murdered in accord with the Qur'an's directive to crucify those who "wage war against Allah and his messenger." "Man Crucified By Al-Qaeda-Affiliated Ansar Al-Shari'a For Allegedly Directing U.S. Drones In Yemen – Video Posted On YouTube – Warning: Graphic Images," from MEMRI, August 29 (thanks to all who sent this in):

...On August 27, 2012, a member of the leading jihadi forum Shumoukh Al-Islam posted a YouTube link to a video showing a man accused of spying for the U.S. by placing chips to direct drones targeting terrorists being crucified on an electric pylon in Abyan province in south of Yemen. A sign placed above the man's head shows the group's flag and verse 5:33 of the Koran, which reads: "The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter."...
Despite being uploaded on February 22, 2012, it appears that the video has been made available recently as suggested by the low number of views and the recently made comments. Based on the date of the video, it is safe to say that the crucified man is Saleh Ahmed Saleh Al-Jamely who was executed on February 12, 2012 after being convicted by a court managed by Al-Qaeda-affiliated Ansar Al-Shari'a.

Al-Jamely was accused of spying and placing two chips in two cars that were later targeted by U.S. drones. According to a statement issued by the Islamic court of Waqqar Emirate in Abyan Governorate, dated February 10, 2012, in that attack, ten members of Ansar Al-Shari'a were killed. The other two men, Hassan Naji Hassan Al-Naqeeb - accused of recruiting, delivering chips, and paying spies; and Ramzi Muhammad Qaid Al-Ariqi - accused of spying for the Saudi intelligence by taking photographs of several buildings, were executed in public, but not crucified....

According to western apologists, and muslim 'authorities', what we can see in this photo, before our eyes, isn't happening, or the Jihadists are somehow "wrong", and that somehow isn't Koran 5:33. And western politicans and media believe them.

Guess what - we don't need to prove that the jihadists are "right", just that they are using Islamic teachings and texts to justify their actions. And here it is...yet again.

Looks pretty much nailed on to me - no pun intended.

A couple of months ago, I wondered why I hadn't seen crucifixions going on amongst Muslims in the Dar-al-Islam since, as the article notes, it's explicitly stipulated in the Koran. In the past couple of months, crucifixions in the Muslim world seem to have been coming out of the woodwork (pun intended -- if you can't drone-attack, ya gotta laugh...).

Of course, the next time a drone whacks one of these clowns to Kingdom Come, they'll know they probably got the wrong guy!

Y'know, it's astounding to think that a man from a secular society has left his footprints on the moon for millenia to come, and this bunch of clowns are stuck in 7th Century aspic!

Apart from being a victim of jihad, was he a victim of classified intel leaks?

**Crucifixion**.

My God, the rank barbarism of Islam.

And yet, there are still those who do not take the threat of Jihad and Shari'ah seriously. Fools.

Not necessarily.

He doesn't have to have done anything at all. He may not have done anything at all.

All that needs to have happened is for some other Muslim to have decided it would be good if he were killed, painfully and humiliatingly.

Sharia-suffused Islamic states are a/ paradise for the kind of person who, in our societies, is born with that neurological glitch that produces the psycho serial torturer/killer and b/ are also set up so as to *program* the born-neurologically-normal *into* a psychopath mindset.

So you have a lot of people programmed with paranoia, suspicion and bloodlust, and a system of 'law' that offers endless opportunities and excuses for offing one's neighbour or family member or even just a random stranger, with impunity and indeed with societal approval, no questions asked. You (if seized with the desire to KILL) do it yourself and *then* cry 'zina!' 'blasphemy1' 'apostasy!' 'fitna!', and everyone assumes the victim deserved it and was justly punished; or...you make the accusation first, sufficiently loudly, and then stand back and let the howling mob dispose of your victim *for* you.

Clarification.

I wrote:" Sharia-suffused Islamic states are a/ paradise for the kind of person who, in our societies, is born with that neurological glitch that produces the psycho serial torturer/killer and b/ are also set up so as to *program* the born-neurologically-normal *into* a psychopath mindset"

I wasn't thinking clearly. The 'in our societies' was shorthand for the thought that in all human societies there are the born-neurologically-normal, and the 'born-psycho'; whether in *our* societies or in Islamic societies. The difference is what happens to the two groups in the different societies.

In ours, the psycho serial killer is identified as a predator, hunted down and stopped, if at all possible; in Islamic societies, he can join the 'morality police', or become a jihad gang boss (perhaps even ending up as a local or regional war lord/ emir/ sultan/ dictator, whatever), or confine himself to the occasional 'honor killing' of a female or to quietly murdering a dhimmi or two. Because the 'psycho' pattern is the *norm*, in a sharia society.

As for the 'born-neurologically-normal': in our societies, the person *is* , well, normal. But if the person is born into the Ummah, right from infancy their conscience and capacity for empathy and independent thinking are systematically and indeed quite violently attacked and neutralised, in order to 'reprogram' them into conformity to the psycho/ antihuman Islamic 'norm'.

And so, to simplify:

"Sharia-suffused Islamic states are a/ paradise for the kind of person who is born with that neurological glitch that produces the psycho serial torturer/killer and b/ are also set up so as to *program* the born-neurologically-normal *into* a psychopath mindset."
