Will the Islamophobia never end?
"Reporter forced to watch Taleban behead his driver," from the TimesOnline, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
An Italian journalist who was held hostage by the Taleban for two weeks described how he was forced to watch as his captors beheaded his Afghan driver.Daniele Mastrogiacomo, who was released yesterday, told how he feared that he would also be killed after seeing the brutal execution.
“I can still see it now," he wrote in La Repubblica. “The [Taleban] commander issued his death sentence in the name of Islam. He said we were all spies and we had to die. [The translator] is crying. I don’t understand. I ask him what they said and he, in tears, says ’they are going to kill us’.
“I get off my knees. Four young men grab the driver and shove his face into the sand. They cut his throat and continue until they have cut his whole head.
“He is not able to make a gasp. They clean the knife on his tunic. They tie his severed head to his body. They bring it [the body and head] to the river and let it go,” he wrote.

Here is one for the Islamophobics among us, and this one is in the USA.

Ah now that spring in here and the Taliban has awakened from it's long winter's schooling in having learned one terrorizes the reporter letting him think he will be murdered as he is forced to watch an up close and scented murder.
Said reporter now traumatized is released to tell his wide eyed story to not the public, but the real mission in other reporters who will now in awe consider the Taliban so menacing it is unbeatable and therefore the allied forces should leave the Middle East.
This is what happens when do good intellectuals decide they can change the world by being thrilled in tasting fake danger protected by soldiers and then venture out among the natives with their first grade education, but who are skilled in psychological warfare.
Reporters belong in bars getting drunk as Mark Twain observed as the real world is only meant for adults who understand the reality being played out.

Here's an excellent page, with very useful sources, on all the thuggish behaviors condoned and demanded by the Qur'an and reliable hadiths:
What would Muhammad Do?

Just another example of what islam is, a death cult.
Why can't just one reporter or outlet in the MSM pick up on this type of stuff and let everyone know what these sicko's are up to?

Quadolama -- please post the contents for which the link is given. Not everyone can get into the site. Thank you.

Aaaah, nothing spells springtime in Afghanistan quite like a good old fashioned beheading to usher in the seasonal rebirth.
It's comforting to see the Taleban operating at full vigor. It harkens me back to that poignant moment in history, with Bush atop the deck of an aircraft carrier, all doled up in that flight suit, uttering the now immortal words of "mission accomplished".
The only thing I am fuzzy on is exactly what "mission" he was talking about. Can anyone clue me in? Also, in doing so, can someone please explain to me why if this yet-to-be-named mission was accomplished, we are still on the ground there?
Thanks in advance.

The description of the events leading up to and after the Beheading in that article were very sad and chilling. This Brand of Islam ( as if there was any other Brand ) is utterly devoid of humanity. It's clear it's an US or THEM scenario here. The name of the game is " Global Domination" . I can't believe that this far into a " War on Terror " that most people are in complete denial of this .

My! What a beautiful Faith! Who WOULDN'T want to embrace its humane and peaceful teachings?
I wish we in the USA had just one politician who would call a spade a spade.
Are the "moderate Muslims" so stupid that they can't see for themselves what the hell it's all about?
We all better wake up pretty soon.

These acts of torture and brutality are hard to take. They are terrible and almost unreal.
Dear Lord, please have mercy on us.

All that EID sheep slaughter is show prep for this savagery. That EID communal throat slitting is done publicly, the photos always have children looking on so as to instruct them in killing, as the poor animal is barbarically dispatched at the height of its fear. The head comes off after the throat slitting. No, I'm not a vegetarian. Even taking children hunting is a lot more benign than EID mass killings
Just shows how nutty Islam is. Animals killed this way pump lots of adrenalin into the system and affects the meat

That's exactly how they want you to feel. This is why Muhammad advocated terrorism to make wars shorter due to his enemies surrendering in fear of terrorism.

Webo,
That wouldn't be politically correct.
Recently, my son submitted a paper about Islam and its treatment of women. He stated that some of the policies may be related to the historical reality of Muhammed enjoying sexual relationships with a child. He was told to recant that line, and refused as it was historically based. He received an F for promoting hate based speech.
There was no recourse available. This incident almost made me ashamed to be an educator.
Why not give these people the knives so they slit our throats and/or make us submit to their belief of slavery to religious demagoguery. By the appeasement it is done in doses, and we as a culture - I speak of Western Civilization - are so afraid of offending people.
Far too many of those people do not wish us well, and it is high time we wake up to that inconvenient truth.

The Taleban said that he was freed in exchange for up to five insurgent leaders. His translator is still being held.Is this exchange true, and how was this arranged? The Translater was not killed but the Driver was. Possibly, they needed the educated Translator to negotiate. Pehaps, the Driver was seen as less connected. What will happen to that Translator now?

It was 3 or 4 years ago that a European reporter was skinned alive in that fair country.
Posted by: Jimmy Bones at March 21, 2007 3:13 AM
There is an aspect to this that distrubs me greatly. The Italian reporter's release was secured by releasing five, that's 5, high ranking Taleban officials who were languishing in Afghan jails.
I wonder how many lives this will cost all to get one reporter's freedom as if he's worth more than anything else in the world.

Absolutely true! It immunises them from any feelings and it has been going on in Europe for over 20 years.

Any details? I never heard of it but then it is not the kind of thing the BBC or British MSM would report.

A link is given above -- at 10:09 p.m by "traeh" --to "What Would Muhammad Do?" Simple, and useful.

Perhaps we can play the terror game also.
Lets show them some of the aftermath photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the ones with the ashes where people once stood and the silhouettes burnt on walls, not to mention countless charred skeletons. A vast area flattened by one (small by today's standards) bomb. Next give them some nice comparisons of the increase in yield our modern weapons have and the highly accurate long range unstoppable delivery systems that can get them from our back yard to them. Then show them some details of the numbers of these in our weapons stockpiles.
That ought to scare em a bit!
It should do, because sadly I have no doubt in my mind that that is exactly what it is going to take to prevent Islam from taking over the World.
The only question is do we wait for them to develop nuclear weapons and use them first?

If Islam is credible, then Allah’s will is evident. Islamic law and worship, represents the universe of a Muslim. They believe Allah intentionally designed the universe. Muslims can validate the Islamic origin of the universe and earth. They can present the material evidence. Muslims can prove, or disprove, the evidence, effects, observations, explanations, and logic. They can examine material in the natural world, and interpret the data. They can be objective. They can have sources. They can identify errors. Their findings must be independently replicated. They must have the necessary evidence to show proof. Their assumptions and conclusions must prove to be irrefutable, or beyond a reasonable doubt. They cannot engage in prejudgments, blinding, randomizing, and weighted falsification. They cannot engage in information and confirmation bias. Scientific answer: all organic matter evolves by natural selection, and the macro and micro universe is perpetually evolving.
They can also measure if a Muslim’s unethical and immoral behavior is Allah’s will. A Muslim can be selfish and competitive most of the time. A Muslim may kill in the name of Allah. Scientific answer: positive or negative human behavior can be deliberate, and inspired by a religion, but Allah’s will is not evident.
