there is alot of symbolism in beheading. it disburses the beads of consciousness so that the person cannot ascend to heaven... but currently it is used as a fear tactic, empowering those who perform the ritual. this is a clear message to stay out like the "no girls" sign on a tree house. what could they possibly be protecting from entering this area?

"what could they possibly be protecting from entering this area?"

...indeed!....somebody important?...hidden weapons caches?....secret foreign agents?...then again...they simply detest anyone who recognizes them for what they are.....and they just love the sight of blood....Islam is a thrill kill machine spinning out of control.....

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter." -- Qur'an 5:33.

5.33?

Isn't that the verse that comes just after 5.32? That much-quoted 5.32, the one that Bush has recited? 5.32, without 5.33, that every imam in every Mosque-Outreach Meeting, every plausible and smiling Muslim spokesman addressing this or that Muslim-Christian or Muslim-Jewish Interfaith Group likes to quote?

5.32. But never 5.33.

Don't you know by now, Robert, it's the U.S. government's job to avoid War with Islam at any cost, even if it means lying to the American people about it every single hour of every day since 9-11.

Yes, let's all live the fantasy like they do in Washington, D.C. and we'll feel so much better.

s_sgt7, yes, muslims in American universities are recruiting our children. there is one program called Soliya, they open dialog between American university students and Middle Eastern university students. seems very cult like to me as it includes a moderator for guidance during webcam dialogs. The subject matter is groomed by instructors for content. while the program is advertized as a method of building bridges some kids are sucked into an abyss.
I've witnessed Islamic teachers who will mention the evils of america but when they are asked about Islam they change the subject and never speak poorly about beliefs or muslims. of course this comes from a culture of self-censorship among other malfunctions. reminds me of Farakahns message to never speak poorly of a black brother or sister no matter how big of a crime they commit.
yep, it's creaped in and now what do we do? is this globalization or will there be an effort on Islam's part to control and conform people? and behead them if they don't cooperate with the plan?

Posted by: Alert at February 28, 2007 11:44 AM

It's interesting that Western mass media is very eager to publish pictures whenever muslims are the victims. Abu Graib, Guantanamo, Palestine.
There is virtually no censorship, no limit to how much the spectator might endure.

Yet when it comes to muslim inflicted violence. No pics. Why aren't we shown the poor man's head and body, inquiring minds might want to know how much effort and pain it takes to saw off a head e.g. - I even guess that they took off the hands and feet before the head?
Why not a little documentary - a doctor's analysis about the pain and cause of death- about that, followed by the pics of the stoning of some woman in Iran (when it comes to death penalty, islamic states are never accused, happens to be just the US)?
You get dozens of docs of how much a suspected terrorist might suffer from spending 24 hours wihtout sleep so they might dedicate some air time to that, too.

I am also sure, we would get abundant pics if such crime would have been perpetrated by western or - even worse - Israeli forces..
And surely the media wouldn't have stopped short of declaring the whole Christian church as culprit if only one single Western soldier would pick up some Christian reference in actions directed against muslims..

Yet djihadists over and over use references to Mohammed and the qu'ran - with the deafening silence of the "moderates", with virtually no "moderate" speaking up against him.
And yet - no Western politician wants to listen.
Facts don't seem to matter (facts which the jihadists by the way freely give away. They even make it a point to make them known and insist on the religious background of their atrocities)
Reason and logic - the fundamentals of Western philosophy seem to be virtually rooted out from any dialogue with islam - from both sides.
And once facts don't matter it's just a small step to that nothing actually matters and hence nothing's worth figthing for.
Instead of putting its head into the sand and waiting for a miracle the west should work hard to free itself and the muslim world from the yoke that Mohammed's teachings present if they are taken by the word.
Some might argue picking the suras the djihadists refer to is like cherry picking. Indeed it is, yet the qu'ran and the haddiths virtually present a cherry tree when it comes to cherry picking.

Re: Taliban beheads US "spy," carves message into his forehead

The accused may not have been a spy. This kind of thing is a problem in societies without a secular legal system that has due process, rules of evidence, requirements for examining witnesses, etc. Often these are personal vendettas accomplished under the cloak of "legal" accusations. That happened in the Soviet Union, and in Mao's China. I'll bet many of these "incidents" are personal vendettas.

Isn't the koran a wonderful inspirational book which will lead you to leading the good life ?

God bless America and the West.

These Muslim terrorists must be joining the ecoterrorists who love Al Gore in trying to save trees by using human forehead for paper now.

They also must be joining Prince Philip in his call for world population reduction.

Any lunatic idea sounds good on paper whether Islam, socialism, globalism or environmentalism, but each one has at it's core that "people are bad".

Hollywood hands out awards for it and it perhaps explains why the MSM pampers terrorists as the elite are all of the same mind in being anti human.

Posted by: Lame Cherry at February 28, 2007 12:28 PM

Such political movements are pointless - such as JihadWatch.

Certain "extremist" groups will continue to resist foreign occupation. As western nations will continue to bring "democracy" to the region.

The battle between good and evil, huh?

As we sit and watch, we align ourselves with the righteous warriors of our people, yet continue to fuel the chaos that has existed within our culture since the dawn of civilization.

We're bound to meet global catastrophe soon, though I wonder if broken nations can continually battle broken groups.

Whatever, this is pointless.

The looming evil strike on Iran

Monday February 26, 2007 (1832 PST)

a.stag@shaw.ca
Never mind about the world’s men of peace and peace feelers as they don’t matter any more for the bellicose belligerents. Never mind about the moral grounds as money buys it all, right or wrong, in today’s world of sin. Never mind about your own expression of supporting the right in the media as this media may not be even read by ignore it all masters of the world. Never mind about the right peace path directed to America by the Democrats and sensible Republicans as one robot Bush, whose keys lie in Tel Aviv, is powerless. Never mind about giving any value to your wishful thoughts about peace and expecting change of heart in Tel Aviv or Washington D.C as the things may have already gone to the stage of no return. Never mind about reading even American media as it belongs to the dustbins of Tel Aviv. This media has already been dangerously brain washed to talk freely about dropping hydrogen bombs on a non nuclear Islamic Iran as if they were toys.

The decision making about strike on Iran, including the sinful nuclear strikes on a non nuclear Islamic nation lies in Israel and there is restlessness in that world controlling media about why the strike was not done yesterday and why it has not been done so far.

The world is very dangerous and is on the doorstep of world war three or Armageddon if the Shanghai accord steps in to save Iran as well as its own survival. Other wise it will be the slaughter of an innocent Islamic nation for now and later followed by finishing off of Shanghai accord along with the slightest possession of nukes by any Islamic nation. Russia and China must kiss their own survival off few years down the road if the looming strike on Iran does get carried through. The Armeda of carriers and firepower sailing in Persian gulf and around Iran is very formidable and can be poised for even nuclear provocation.

Israel prodded actions of Bush have passed the threshold where only a miracle can bring us back to where we were and aspire for peace again. The world faces a very grim Armageddon and some how the innocent weak had seen the other powerful to their rescue after tremendous damage. I would’nt want to live in or near Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman or even Abu Dhabi due to their very close proximity to strait of Harmouz. All these areas will be toast if things get too ugly.

And Pakistan, please hide your nukes as deep as you can where a nuclear strike cannot even damage them. Musharraf need not think that his buttressing with America or Israel will cause any sympathy with those Islamic nukes, which are the most undesired even for their existence in the eyes of the disguised friends.

The world faces grim dangers, even its survival, as result of nuclear strike. The world may die of financial crash beyond repair. The world’s economies may even become dysfunctional with wide spread death, economic collapse, famine, starvation and dog eat dog culture with doomsday scenario.

But, who cares as you can burry this planet to save one Israel, which already is overly saved from any dangers.

Pakistan, please embrace China for peace reasons. Invigorate your peace and normalization efforts with India as there is too much in common to compromise.

Try to save as much of Asia’s east and north of you along with self, if the west of you starts burning. Pakistan, please take your nukes as deep as you can under the most protective mountains in the world of yours.

The world will be lucky if it can reverse the shape of things to come as the threshold has already passed what it was before first or Second World War.

There is not much the world can do as the elected president of the world’s most powerful nation is just a robot with keys in Tel Aviv.

THE VERY WORD PEACE HAS BEEN BURRIED MERCILESSLY.

Attack on Iran will be crime against humanity only to feel sorry by all with sighs by surviving, if any, as such:

Somebody archive that site quickly; I predict it won't be available very long.

I saw a cartoon in an old New Yorker today. It had a man in a suit stepping into, obviously, his own bedroom, with a naked woman and man on the bed, caught "in the act". The woman looks over at him and says "believe me honey, this isn't what it is."

I thought immediately of CAIR and various other apologists for Islamism in our midst.

But this guy doesn't fit into that mold. His message is more like "believe me honey, this is exactly what it is." It's not a bad thing to have islamists/jihadists who aren't afraid to come right out and say it. If, instead of shutting down these sites right away we made sure that every adult in North America read a few of them there would be a sudden climate change here that would leave CAIR and co. "in flagrante".

Beheading, cutting off hands and feet, following the directions given by a brigand 13 centuries ago. These people do not understand--nor do they want to understand--"democracy," freedom, or that there is another way of life than what they are following.

How do you think we should--or can--deal with these people? Sitting down at table to discuss what we have to do to get along with them? Showing them that we mean nothing but the best for them, offering them the benefits of our way of life?

Or use the only language that they understand. That they have learned in the centuries since they started down this path?

And it isn't words that will send them back to seethe in the stinking cesspools from which they crawled out of because we let them.

Just curious, Jeff - What did Malcolm X change his name to, Malcolm Mellish or something? I thought he was inspired by his Mecca pilgrimage, after which he renounced the Nation of Islam because it was racist, though I don't know if he become a real Muslim.

Hear the whole story?

Miranshah, Pakistan - Suspected pro-Taliban militants beheaded and cut off the hands and feet of a man in a Pakistani border area, accusing him of spying for US forces in Afghanistan, officials said on Tuesday.
Authorities in North Waziristan tribal district found the body of the Afghan national dumped on a road near the frontier late on Monday with a note identifying the man as "American spy Nek Amal," a security official told AFP.
The man's head, hands and feet had all been severed and were lying near the body, the official said, adding that the remains were taken to Afghanistan's Khost province by relatives.

Anyone else here think this sound like the actions of people who would know God? In my humble opinion, these people are SICK SICK EVIL followers of the devil and their deeds prove it.

A Muslim man was beheaded in Pakistan? That's awful. Wait, here's a plan: how about we initiate a tactical strike to kill Musharraf and the few radical leaders of Pakistan. The Pakistanis (especially those in Waziristan) will welcome us as liberators. Then we can begin sending hundreds of billions of dollars of aid to the Pakistanis (especially those in Waziristan), to build up good will, to get them to like us. Since they obviously share our values, they will obviously want to create a democratic and open society. Other Islamic nations in the Middle East will see the peace and freedom that the Pakistanis (especially those in Waziristan) are enjoying, and since they obviously share our values too, they will overthrow their own few radical leaders, and the entire Middle East will soon be peaceful and prosperous. And here's the kicker: we won't leave until they decide we should leave, no matter how much it costs us, because that's just the kind of nice people we are.

Is this genius or what?
