Iraq Militants Kill 12 Nepali Hostages

For, among other things, being Buddhists. From Reuters, with thanks to many who sent this to me:

BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) - A militant Iraqi group said it had killed 12 Nepali hostages and showed pictures of one being beheaded and others being gunned down in the worst violence against captives since a wave of kidnappings erupted in April.

The announcement of the killings, made in a statement posted on an Islamist Web site Tuesday, came as France intensified its efforts to save two French reporters held hostage in Iraq by a separate militant Islamic group.

The Nepalis were kidnapped earlier this month when they entered Iraq to work as cooks and cleaners for a Jordanian firm. The killing of men from a tiny country that had nothing to do with the invasion or occupation of Iraq will send shockwaves through foreign companies doing business here.

"We have carried out the sentence of God against 12 Nepalis who came from their country to fight the Muslims and to serve the Jews and the Christians ... believing in Buddha as their God," said the statement by the military committee of the Army of Ansar al-Sunna.

The group posted a series of photographs showing the killing as well as a video.

The recording showed two masked men, one in camouflage, holding down a hostage. One of the men then used a knife to behead the hostage and then hold his head aloft.

The video then showed a group of hostages lying face down and being shot by a man using an automatic rifle. It then showed bodies splattered with blood and bullet wounds.

WOW!!! I am sooooooo friggin' impressed! These mighty muslim warriors have now removed such a huge threat to their islamic lands by decapitating & shooting in the back 12 cooks & cleaners who had their hands & feet tied. How proud they must feel for so bravely defeating such a top-notch military outfit who follow the teachings of that war-mongering hate-filled Buddha!
Can anyone possibly feel even the slightest regret when we finally wipe out these islamic scumbags? They continually go after those innocents who are incapable of defending themselves & in fact, shouldn't need to defend themselves for they did NOTHING WRONG. We need to destroy this islamic plague. Overwhelmingly. Totally. With brutal, utter finality.

The destruction of the Greco-Buddhist civilization of Afghanistan, of Buddhist temples and artifacts throughout Central Asia and India, the blowing up of the Bamiyan Buddhas (which did not in any sense offend Muslims, though a few tears of crocodile-outrage were shed for non-Muslim consumption after the fact), the attacks on Buddhist monks and villagers in southern Thailand, the attacks in Indonesia, that supposedly "relaxed" and "easygoing" country, where syncretism is increasingly seen as a holdover from the period of the Dutch, something to be deplored rather than emulated, and the stated reasons for killing these "believers in Buddha," should make quite clear to everyone, Buddhists and non-Buddhists, that this is NOT a war of civilisations. It is a war of the adherents of one belief-system, Islam, that has everywhere been a political, economic, intellectual, and moral failure, whatever half-hearted attempts one makes at pretending otherwise and appealing to the o'erweening arrogance of Muslims who insist on having Infidels accept their own view of themselves and of Islam, on all others. It is not a war that stopped; it is simply a war that, for a while, while Muslims were not strong enough, was put here and there on hold for some decades. OPEC oil money changed that. Everything must be done to diminish Muslim revenues, because they will inevitably be used to fund mosques, madrasas, the bribery of diplomats and journalists. It is silly to talk about "energy independence" for the United States because that is neither a possible goal, nor one that will, in any way, diminish the effect of OPEC oil money. As long as the Saudis have tens of billions to play with, they will continue to finance mosques in the United States and Western Europe, and madrasas everywhere, that will only increase the power of Islam, and hence the power of those who believe in a system that inculcates murderous hostility toward all Infidels.

Insofar as the "civilization" (by which one means the whole host of understandings and undertakings whose sum is society) of Muslim peoples helps to modify, to soften, the sharp edges of the ideology, insofar as those who call themselves Muslims can be kept from being too deeply inculcated into the undeniable teachings of Qur'an and "strong" (i.e. believed to be more authentic) hadith, one may find, possibly, a modus vivendi. But every Muslim in the West renders the possibility of conversion, and subversion, from within more likely. Politicians, short-sighted, may as Muslim political power grows find themselves abandoning the defense of their own civilization. How else can one explain the extraordinary situation in Europe, where no one in the mainstream parties -- even Pim Fortuyn had to create his own party -- is willing to speak truthfully about what everyone knows. And that which everyone knows that if they could, in France or Italy or Holland or the United Kingdom, if they could turn the clock back, and knowing what they now know, have completely blocked Muslim migration to their own countries, they would certainly have done so. Everyone knows that the situation is perilous, and will become more so. Everyone knows that a large Muslim population, not only not integrated but essentially never-to-be-integrated except superficially, to the extent that Muslims take the tenets of their religion -- including of course the necessity, and rightness, of Jihad to spread Islam, and to fight all those who "put obstacles" in the path of Islam (a very broad category indeed)-- seriously, represents a permanent threat. Life for Infidels is now far more expensive (for security and monitoring purposes) and unpleasant (constant need to defend everything, from the rules as to appropriate school dress in France, to keeping the crucifix from being removed from all public places in Italy, even to the assaults on everything from photographs on drivers' licenses, to the demand for prayer rooms in public schools to "accomodate" Islam). At the very least, all those who, it can easily be shown, subscribe to a belief-system that requires endless hostility to all Infidels, and who cannot possibly offer their loyalty to an Infidel nation-state (and therefore the taking of oaths of citizenship are always, in the case of Believers, examples of perjury). The belief that of course those swearing allegiance to the U.K. or to the United States mean it, when it is easy to prove that they cannot possibly mean it, as long as those remain Infidel states, without the Shari'a, is not a minor matter. It should be discussed, in Congress and in the press. Instead the whole subject is simply avoided. Not to be touched. The third rail. This is not how high policy should be conducted.

A few hollow condemnations from professional taqqiyah agencies like CAIR and the MCB will be enough to mollify the gormless politicians of the West. Then they can say, "Of course, this minority of extremists have the wrong interpretation of the Koran." But how is it possible to misinterpret 9:29, and all the rest of the anti-Infidel hate-speech contained in the teachings of Islam? Ignorance is bliss, as the saying goes. But the number of people in the West who are aware of the true nature of Islam is growing steadily, and their patience won't last indefinitely.

All,

This is the shocking truth of it - force yourselves to watch it - it's diabolical - this is islam in action in all it's glory. If this does not make you want to take action then nothing will. After seeing this I cannot believe Islam is a religion founded on peace and love.

Catherine -
"Can the Iraqis rule themselves I am begining to think not they are not in this to win? They back off when they have the ground? This will not gain them Freedom All know you can not give ground to the enemy and they have many enemy's!!!"

The question you have raised here is the big one. Can the iraqis rule themselves? We have done our part. We have spent so much in our blood & our materiel & our money to give them the opportunity to live in peace, freedom & prosperity. This is a golden opportunity for them, one which they never would have gained by themselves as saddam had his sons all lined up to follow in his murderous footsteps & their sons after them & so on & so on, ad infinitum. It is time for them to raise themselves up & do a gut-check & grow a spine & stand up for their dreams rather than submit so meekly to the radicals seeking to drag the country even further back into the dark ages than they already are. If they aren't willing to take responsibility for their own future & willing to fight for the right to be free, then they will deserve all of the misery that will befall them from life in an islamic regime. We can't do it all for them, they have to build something for themselves. They need to STOP blaming everyone else for their miserable failures & look in the mirror & recognize that they are self-destructing & blowing the greatest opportunity they will ever have.

catherine.... why cant you even get facts correct.
you must follow this jihad crap daily and yet you get the groups confused. ARMY OF THE SUNNAH that killed the nepali hostages is a sunni group probably based in or near fallujah and have NOTHING to do with al-sadr. before you post your tripe try and get the facts correct. You must also remember that while the sunni insurgency might give some support for the shite militiamen when it comes down to it they still have a longstanding hatred for shites.

They´re very coward this islamists, without swords and guns aren´t nothing, his strategy of nihilism is a work of Satan, and they will die thanks of his sword. Pray for this nepalese, they were only men of kitchen.

Posted by: Franze [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 31, 2004 2:18 PM

This is so DISGUSTING! Twelve helpless cooks and cleaners who needed jobs so desperately that they were prepared to work in Iraq. Neither they or their country had anything to do with war yet they were killed all the same. Have personal reason to know what a peaceful and gracious religion Buddhism is : in every way opposed to bloodstained, violent tenets of Islam. For 1,400 yrs Muslims have been slaying Buddhists, burning them alive in their temples, invading and taking over their lands, destroying their culture. And these Islamic Killers ARE STILL DOING IT...!

Sorry catherine i take that back, you did not say that terrorists were Muslim... you said they were "Mulsum".

My mistake.

what I was pointing out like your spelling is that you where wrong. army of the sunnah is not part of moqtada al-sadrs group or control. and im not saying that what they did was right because I have seen the video and it is one of the most repulsive things to come out of this war but if your going to talk about this subject you must get your facts correct.

Appreciate your highly informative essays on Islam. Do you have thoughts on how to rid this planet of the scourge of Islam? Would like to hear them.

cyruss11...

Can you tell me when was the last time you did you statistics lessons?? Mcveigh was a Christian? did he Blow the place up because of his "Christian beliefs"?.......

and back to statistics, lets say for arguments sake that McVeigh did do it for his "Christian beliefs"....how many is that in comparison to Muslim terrorists who make "no bones" about their motives and reasons for killing and blowing people up....lets see now....uhm....1...1 person out of how many Muslim terrorists???

Sorry to sound harsh, but McVeigh usualy comes up when misguided people, and Muslims, try to "balance" the view that terrorists are also "Christian".....I mean how far do you have to go back?? and do you see a pattern of "Christians" blowing people up latey, or even in the last 100 years??


Maybe Catherine should have said "not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslim"........

In regards to RW's post:

Please, please, do NOT click on the link. I did and saw the first 10 seconds and then had to turn it off. I have been bawling (as in: crying profusely) for hours. This is the sickest, most inhuman thing I've seen in my entire life. My heart cries out to this man's family.

I'm sure it's message doesn't reach those who need it most, meaning Muslims who protest that Islam is a "peaceful" religion.

Hopefully , some web administrator will remove this.

just watched the video-and realized that this execution took place outside-why are there not satellites probing these area-why are there not recon planes hovering overhead-they are obviously transporting these poor souls outdoors-but i guess the biggest question to ask is if they were outside-did some farmer see them-and if so why didnt he do anything-and just how many common folk who are "good" iraqis are in connection with these pigs. seems like all of them must be because how come no one has given any police leads. In the U.S. most people have a heart and soul and will tell the police on their own blood-i guess that tells you something, like that all these muslims think and feel the same, it is only a few who take the action to kill the innocent--- and for all of you who watched the link and couldnt stand it-realize that this has been part of the muslims tactics for years, they did it to the soviets in Afghanistan and Chechnya, and now they are doing it to anyone they can get their hands on who is not a muslim. But now they document it to spread fear within those who are not use to seeing the horrors of humanity(wait a sec. they arent human), the men who died did not die in vain, they held onto the purity of their beliefs and when confronted by the evil wrath of Satan they denounced him rather than succumbing to his submission. and if we dont whisen up, look around and change some of our policies and really think hard about what kind of impact this shit really has in the world, soon if we are not careful it will spread here in years to come and we will be watching our children and husbands and brothers on video. be vigilant, be strong, be smart, be aware, and be on the offensive. take advantage of your unalienable rights-speak your mind, bear arms. we must keep this country free of the hatred that islam spews.

Selected quotes from Churchill can be applied equally well to Islamic Terror:-

"there is nothing they admire so much as strength, and there is nothing for which they have less respect than for weakness, especially military weakness"


Given this perhaps the west should take a leaf out of Serbia's book. Once the Islamic Bosnians started beheading Serb women and children the Serbs responded in like and kind and gave the dirty Moslems a taste of their own medecine.

If the West had a few more figures like Arkan, Legija and Mladic, who would lob grenades into Mosques where the dirty rotters hid then it would be in a better position.

The first thing to do is ban all Islamic immigration into the West. Call it an emergency war measure, and fill the old Muslim quotas with non-Muslims. But in the long run I think the only way to defeat Islamic Terror is with the use of entnic cleansing. Perhaps there are some Moslems who dont support Islamic terror, but they seem to be few and far between. It might be a good idea for Governments to issue an ultimatum to all Islamic communities in the West saying "Report any Moslem terrorists in your midsts to the authorities or face expulsion". Then whenever a terrorist incident occurs deport a certain number of them back to the cesspits from whence they came. Eventually either they'll hand over their own terrorists or the West will be rid of its Islamic cancer from within - which would at least make security easier.

I would be for banning all Muslim immigration to this country. The problem is that they like to lie so how would you know they are Muslims? There are terrorists that don't look Middle Eastern...so how do you find them? We need to use racial profiling and religious profiling here. We need the death penalty for terrorists found in the US and severe jail sentences for those who are supporting them. The federal government has the death penalty for murderers so I don't understand why we can't do the same for people here that want to commit mass murder.

Yeah its tricky, it would be tempting to put all would be immigrants into some sort of transit location (like Ellis Island used to be). Then I guess it would be a matter of studying their behaviour (eg do they read the Koran, refuse Pork etc) over a peroid of time most would be found out. Then there is other means such as DNA testing, which would probably be able to detect where people came from (forensic pathologists are able to locate the nationalites of murder victims etc via DNA). Using that it should be easier to tell the difference between say an Uyghur (Moslem) Chinese and a Han (non Moslem Chinese), and between Latin Americans and Arabians (which has alledgedly been difficult for Texan border police). You'd probably only be left with "convertees" to Islam, and hopefully a scan for mental competance (or lack of) would detect them. Other things like heavy surveliance and bugging of Mosques and other Islamic institutions would also help (before eventually closing these thigns down).

I dont think this will happen until Western leaders recognise that the problem is with the MAJORITY and not MINORITY of Islam. At the moment they still seem to be clinging to this hopeless notion that Moslems will intigrate into society and that the terrorists recieve little or no support from the wider Islamic communities.

Eventually, as a famous Serbian leader once said, they'll understand it when the beheading etc of Westerners becomes routine.
