Beheaded girls were Ramadan 'trophies'

Three jihadists are on trial now in Indonesia, accused of beheading three Christian high school girls. These benighted misunderstanders of Islam were evidently foolish enough to think that when the Qur'an says to "strike the necks" of unbelievers (47:4; cf. also 8:12), that it actually means "strike the necks" of the unbelievers. The fools! They've probably been listening to Islamophobic rhetoric coming from the likes of me -- as Jihad Watch reader James informs me that blogger Dean Esmay has accused me of "enabling the Jihadists...and...encouraging young Muslims to think the Jihadists must be right."

Of course, Dean. All the jihadists are here at Jihad Watch, learning jihad from me (Beheading the Infidels class starts in 15 minutes; anyone without a sharpened knife will get a detention, and no excuses.) These Indonesian jihadists evidently don't realize that the Qur'an is a document of staggering complexity, and that it can only be properly understood by Saudi-funded American professors who spend years in concentrated study, enabling them to determine that "strike the necks" actually means "hug the necks."

You have to read it in the original Arabic, you see, unless when you do that you still notice passages such as 47:4, and the fact that jihadists are acting on them while the so-called "moderates" are much more concerned about "Islamophobia" than about actually coming up with some refutation of or at least challenge to the jihadists. In that case, use your secret Qur'anic decoder ring, which likewise renders "beat her" (Qur'an 4:34) as "tell her how much you love her."

Esmay, by the way, also says: "This is why the Robert Spencers of the world are so dishonest and so destructive: all they do is the same thing the Jihadists do, take the worst and most destructive (and usually most-simple minded) interpretation, and declare that to be the "inescapable" truth." He seems to imagine that there are numerous widely accepted benign interpretations of the Qur'an and Sunnah out there competing with the jihadists for Muslim hearts and minds, and that I am wickedly discounting them and holding up the jihadist's arm and declaring him to be the world champeen. If only it were true. In fact, as I have pointed out to him before, all the orthodox sects and schools of jurisprudence within Islam teach warfare against unbelievers. The best and most undestructive interpretations are tiny things with little or no influence in the Islamic world, or patent deceptions that Mr. Esmay seems eager to swallow. If there really were a large-scale moderate and peaceful movement within Islam, no one would be happier than I, and no one would give it more attention. But instead, we have men who think that beheading schoolgirls during Ramadan is serving Allah, and no Muslims are challenging them in any effective way. And no, Dean Esmay, I am not going to shut up about it, no matter how much abuse you send my way.

By Stephen Fitzpatrick in The Australian, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

THREE Christian high school girls were beheaded as a Ramadan "trophy" by Indonesian militants who conceived the idea after a visit to Philippines jihadists, a court heard yesterday.

The girls' severed heads were dumped in plastic bags in their village in Indonesia's strife-torn Central Sulawesi province, along with a handwritten note threatening more such attacks.

The note read: "Wanted: 100 more Christian heads, teenaged or adult, male or female; blood shall be answered with blood, soul with soul, head with head."

Javanese trader Hasanuddin appeared in Jakarta Central Court yesterday charged with planning and directing the murders in October last year. He faces a death sentence if found guilty under anti-terrorism legislation.

Hasanuddin allegedly returned from a visit to members of Philippines Islamist group the Moro Islamic Liberation Front with tales of how that organisation regularly staged bombings to coincide with Lebaran, the festival that ends the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. He later spoke with a preacher in Poso, Central Sulawesi, about whether such a plan could work in Indonesia, but expressed doubt about whether it was appropriate.

However, after further discussion with friends, he decided that beheading Christians could qualify as an act of Muslim charity.

Conscripting several accomplices at a local pesantren, or Islamic school, he directed one of them, Lilik Purnomo, to seek out "the head of a Christian", prosecutors alleged.

"It would be a great Lebaran trophy if we got a Christian. Go search for the best place for us to find one," Hasanuddin allegedly ordered his companion.

Lilik returned to say he had found an "excellent" target - a group of schoolgirls who travelled to and from class by foot in the Central Sulawesi village of Gebong Rejo. The village is in the district of Poso, where hundreds of people have died in sectarian violence in recent years.

Disgusting. Apalling. Shameful. Bestial.
And totally in line with Mr. Perfect's philosophy
of relentless hate and pure evil.

Not one damn thing shocks me coming from these bastards anymore. Not one damn thing. That is why anytime I hear of the deaths of the "peaceful ones" due to natural disasters or military strikes I am glad-less scum in the world can ONLY be a good thing. Islam is the worst thing to have ever come into this world-the sooner it's wiped out, the better. If this viewpoint makes me a Nazi then so be it.

Why is Vlad the Impaler coming to mind? After these sorry excuses for a male are found guilty, they should be impaled in the city square as a reminder to muslims that the world has had enough of their savagery and violence. Leave their bodies til the vultures have left nothing but bones. Then bury them with dead pigs. A fitting end.

Posted by: freewoman [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 9, 2006 11:44 AM

During the occupation of the Byzantine Empire, from the turks, there was a tax called "cephalic" which was a tax that the infidels (aka christians) had to pay for their heads to stay attached to the rest of their body. I guess they were expecting payment from these poor christian girls, the fuckin goat-lover muslims and their sick-puppy "prophet" aka muhhamad the shitty...

I guess the only atrocities these fiends haven't been "credited" with so far are the conducting of medical experiments on live infidels and the actual eating of infidels. Or have these things also happened already?

soooo, where are all the muslim commentators that love to come on here at times, and say islam is a religion of peace eh Khokar?

Im sick of these demons in human form. I read the original story in www.mychristianblood.org months ago and it had pictures of one of the girls (head detached). These were basically 16 year old teen girls going to school.

I will NEVER believe the lie that Islam is moderate.
As Mr. Spencer has said there is NO school of Islam that denies killing infidels as something that is to be done in Islam.

This is the new Nazism troops. Take a good look at him. They make Hitler look like a boy scout. After all, even Hitler did not think he would gain HEAVEN
and earth if he killed the jews and others.
The muslims believe they will gain both.

All they will gain is our growing fight against them.
And the pit of hell in eternity.

ISLAMSFORLOSERS, I was thinking that maybe seeing their buds on a pole would make them think twice about doing their jihad in that area. Acid would be too quick. They need to suffer the last hours of their life and then with dead pigs, forever. They do not deserve a quick death.

If there is a Heaven and Hell, I hope every time a muslim kills an innocent, Satan gives it to old mo a thousand times worse.

I see your point. The problem is they never learn.
Monsters like these lack a conscience so the lesson would be lost.

Some of the old time country folk out where I live tell me that pigs will devour anything.

In a county west of here a man was killed by his dope friends and was butchered. He was subsequently fed to hogs. Nothing was left. The forensic teams couldn't prove anything other than the hogs were in "pretty good shape".

I'm sure that this is a proper end to a Muslim Jihadist.

God willing, of course.

Posted by: credit man [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 9, 2006 12:10 PM

Muslim apologists like Esmay are such morons. People like him think we shouldn't conclude Islam is violent despite the overwhelming evidence, the endless stream of murder and atrocities that come from this Cult of Death. And the fact that these Muslim barbarians quote chapter and verse from Islam's unholly book and follow Muhammad's (Pigs Are Better Than Him) brutal examples seems to have no effect at all on the thinking of these Useful Idiots for Islam.

Oh, that's right, it's the Infidel press' fault for actually reporting these things and it's also Robert Spencer's fault for pointing out this seemingly endress stream of Muslim evil. I'm sure Jihad Watch is required reading at the madrassas to whip up the faithful into a self-rightous rage and go behead some helpeless schoolgirls, blown themselves up along with dozens of innocents and even Muslims. Yeah, it's Robert Spencer's fault, allright.

Actually ISLAMSFORLOSERS wallid shoebat the exmuslim terrorist said they DO cut up the body of dead infidels and pass parts of it to frenzied crowds who dance with it. This occurs in PLO dominated areas for sure according to him!


When the monster mehemut who had taken over Constatnople came into the area of VLAD the Impaler he was sickened to see over 40 000 Turkish muslims all impalred throughout the countryside as a "welcome". Mehumet was sickened to his stomach and the muslims retreated in fear. Im sorry to say all these monsters understand is savagery in return THEN all of a sudden they are willing to "negotiate".

I think until the west stops needing their oil we will have to fight them in direct warfare.
My exmuslim Turkish friend says that the West should just invade Saudi Arabia blow up mecca and medina and turn Arabia into a protectorate of the US (and banish anyone who does not want to become a muslim into the deserts and beyond). He is not always known for his subtlety but now Im starting to understand why he said "its the only way", unless we can find alternate energy processes.

His brutal impaling tactics scared them sh*tless. That's right DRACULA himself is a better ruler than Muslims.

Yes, and both rule if you ask me :)

That reminds me, I watched Bram Stoker's Dracula this morning, and boy, was Dracula ferocious in those crusades. I always wonder how Europe would look like if he wasn't around to defend Christianity from the Turks.

Posted by: EliasAlucard [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 9, 2006 12:58 PM

It is unlikely that any of these killers has actually read much of the Qur'an for themselves, and very unlikely that they are familiar with hadith and sira, or the opinions and rulings of the traditional schools of Islamic jurisprudence.

My suspicion is that their knowledge of Islam is rooted in long-standing local traditions and whatever the local Imams tell them at Friday prayers.

So, I hope they will be required, during the trial, to demonstrate where in Islamic teachings and law this behavior is permitted or required (it is, actually, but the intent would be to show that they do not personally know where to find those passages), and if they did not read it themselves, who told them that.

At that point, the court would be placed in the position of accepting or rejecting (in front of the usual rabid Muslim courtroom crowds) the Islamic legitimacy of their behavior.

This is a perfect case to expose Islamic teachings for what they really are.

Of course, CAIR will denounce beheadings, without citation, as un-Islamic.

I heard bone-chilling stories about what Arab's did to the bodies of opponent's killed in battle from an Isreali friend of mine, who fought in both the Six-Day & Yom Kippur wars. At first, I didn't believe that Arabs cut off a man's genitals, then stuffed them into his mouth. But then, I saw in print later on.

I also heard about how they cut off the breasts of an Israeli woman they'd murdered in a sneak attack on a settlement.

Lovely people, really.

vee: there are photographs on the internet (which I have seen) that show Palestinians actually EATING those innards of Israelis they have murdered and disemboweled (often at and during 'car swarmings').

What THIS resembles really is human sacrifice ceremonies conducted by Aztec and Mayan high priests on the pyramids of Mexico and Central America!

It is not for nothing that some are convinced that Islam originated on the ziggurats of Babylon as human sacrifice (where human sacrifice WAS performed). After all, the Muslims worship the same god as the Babylonians and Mesopotamians did...

I know my friend left a weapon with his wife & made her promise to use it on their children, then herself, when he left to join his unit for one of the conflict, should the Arabs over-run Isreal. I believe he did actually see the woman with the cut-off breasts.

Americans just voted against fighting these people, whether or not they meant to.

That basically means that more of this kind of stuff will happen, as Muslims feel empowered by the election. As Jim Treacher put it, "No more terrorism. YAY!"

I guess we're back on the path to 9/11. I'm expecting more beheading in celebration of the repudiation of Bush's policies.

I hope someone is building a database of all the statements by Democrats about fighting terrorism. You could fill quite a few pages with Pelosi quotes alone.

this is just more undeniable proof and evidence that islam is satanic!

islam is straight from the devil!

lucifer himself lied to muhammad!

muhammad is a false prophet in every sense and after he believed satan's lie he started the satanic belief called islam!

millions of people have subsequently believed the same lie and will therefore suffer agonizingly in the pits of hell with muhammad for eternity!

muslim's think they believe in God, but unfortunately they worship satan(allah)!

there is only one true GOD and He loved the world so much that He sent his one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to earth, about 800 years before muhammad was even born!

Jesus Christ walked on this earth and paid the price for our sins, by dying on the cross!

Jesus also raised himself from the dead and was then given ALL authority in heaven and on earth!

whoever believes in Him will NOT perish but have eternal life!

Believe this if nothing else, that JESUS CHRIST is THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE, and that NO ONE comes to the FATHER, EXCEPT through HIM!!!

Even by the standards of Jihadis, beheading schoolgirls for Ramadan "trophies" is unspeakably evil. And this was completely premeditated--deciding to kill these innocents, and then scoping out the girls' daily route to school.

from above:

The note read: "Wanted: 100 more Christian heads, teenaged or adult, male or female; blood shall be answered with blood, soul with soul, head with head."
..............

Murdering innocent schoolgirls as revenge would be horrible enough, as they had done nothing to these murderers themselves. But where does the (answering) "head with head" even come from? No Thai Christians are beheading Muslims, nor is the Thai military.

from above:

However, after further discussion with friends, he decided that beheading Christians could qualify as an act of Muslim charity.
..................

This is so unbelievably evil. I have described elsewhere that Zakat (Muslim charity) being used for Jihad is not a form of corruption--it is considered by many Muslims to be a completely legitimate use of "charity". You find this in the Qu'ran. Even knowing this, the idea of "beheading Christians as an act of Muslim charity" leaves me speechless.

.....................................

from above:

Esmay, by the way, also says: "This is why the Robert Spencers of the world are so dishonest and so destructive: all they do is the same thing the Jihadists do, take the worst and most destructive (and usually most-simple minded) interpretation, and declare that to be the "inescapable" truth."
...............

Somewhat OT but still appropos--when I was a teenager I was stunned to find an old copy of National Geographic magazine dating from around 1935. It had a *very* positive article about the "new Germany", complete with apple-cheeked housewives flying the Nazi swastika flag from above their well-kept flower boxes, and little Hitler Youth lads goose-stepping in formation. It treated the Hitler Youth as a cousin to the Boy Scouts.

This sort of white-washing clearly did not render the National Socialists any less dangerous. Likewise, telling the truth about the threat of radical Islam will not make it any worse--it will just make it more likely that we will be able to defend against it.
