Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan: Islamic jihadists murder soldier with bomb hidden in Qur’an

Feb 2, 2014 4:47 pm By Robert Spencer

Watch for the worldwide protests against this desecration — no wait, there won’t be any, because it is perfectly fine for Islamic jihadists to desecrate the Qur’an in the cause of Islam. “Don’t pick up Quran in Pakistan, it could be a bomb,” from the Associated Press, January 31 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Militants in Pakistan have found clever ways to hide homemade bombs. They’ve been strapped to children’s bicycles, hidden inside water jugs and even hung in tree branches. But the most shocking place that Brig. Basim Saeed has heard of such a device being planted was inside a hollowed-out book made to look like a Quran, Islam’s holy book.

A soldier who went to pick up the book from the floor was killed when it exploded.

“Normally if that book is lying somewhere on the floor, you tend to pick it up immediately just for respect,” said Saeed, the chief instructor at a school training Pakistani forces how to detect the so-called improvised explosive devices, which have become increasingly popular in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and the insurgency in Pakistan’s northwest, near the Afghan border.

Saeed and other instructors at the military’s Counter IED, Explosives and Munitions School say it is important to constantly come up with new ways to prevent such homemade bombs because that’s exactly what the militants are doing.

“Terrorists are also very brainy,” Saeed said. “They are using different techniques to defeat our efforts also. So we need to be very proactive.”

Brainy? But the government and mainstream media line is that they’re poor and uneducated. Surely they must be telling the truth, right?

    Of course there won’t be any Muslim protests against Jihadi Quran bomb, but you can be sure there’ll be violent riots across the Islamic world if some Western media prints a cartoon or makes a video about it.

    No need to put a bomb in the Quran

    Its blasphemous satanic verses are more deadly
    No matter how low Muslims bow when they pretend to pray,
    they can never get as low as the Serpent of Satan Muhammad

    Now doesn’t this take the cake.

    It seems that the US government bent over forwards to get spanked or worse when guards at Gitmo handled the Qur’an without gloves (filthy Kufr hands!) or burned trash into which copies of the Qur’an had been placed. Frankly, if those who consider themselves pious Muslims (while acting like good candidates for Gitmo) shred the Qur’an with shrapnel and explosive, I can see no reason why the jailed Jihadis may complain when a non-Muslim handles the Qur’an the way he’d handle any other book someone might want for reference.

    Again, I’m not for burning the Qur’an, thought Terry Jones’ actions in that regard ill-advised (if sanctioned by the First Amendment), and won’t even burn _Mein Kampf_ or the Little Red Book even if I have Central European Jewish and anti-Communist Chinese associations. However, for our government to play along with the shrieks of vicious bigots that we Kufr are unworthy to handle a paperback Qur’an barehanded is inexcusable.

    This presents a possible fundraising product idea for JW.org… A bacon storage container made to look like the Qur’an! Bring your favorite brand of bacon home and neatly store it in your official “JW.org Bacon Book.” Imagine how nice it will look in your refrigerator’s meat-keeper drawer… And, why stop there? Perhaps the official dog food bowl. Imagine how nice Fido will look enjoying dinner from bowl made to look like a Qur’an. Hmmm…

    The twisted thoughts of Muslims! They use respect for the Koran as a lure, as a bait, to betray and murder those whom THEY DON’T CONSIDER TO BE ISLAMIC ENOUGH!

    More Muslim than thou! Silence, I kill you! Allah Akbar! Allah fubar.

      That’s doubly clever if the anus bomb’s in a koran.

    Now if that poor, islamically-programmed officer who, as the setter of the boobytrap well knew, would go to pick up that loaded Koran, out of “respect” (because it must be placed up high, to symbolise the dominance of Islam), had had a sniffer dog with him, trained to detect explosives, would he have gotten blown up like that?

    Anything that Muhammad wanted to do that fell outside common or traditional decency, “Allah” would suddenly give him licence to do it, and it would suddenly become proper for the “Ummah” (specifically the MALE members of the Muslim community). I do not know if these beasts have a “scriptural” justification for using their own “holy” books to maim and murder people with explosives, but I’m sure it would run along the same lines as Muhammad. The man who helped create the process of justifying perversity passed along a “rich tradition” to his mindless followers.

    Pakistan: Islamic jihadists murder soldier with bomb hidden in Qur’an
    ………………………………….

    Other posters have already noted that the least sign of Infidel “disrespect” to the Qur’an elicits outrage and threats, but Jihadists’ using the Qur’an to camouflage a
    bomb will bring not a peep of condemnation from the faithful.

    It’s just the same with Mosques—if Infidels dare place a Mosque under surveillance, or to enter one without removing their shoes, Muslims are enraged. But if Mohammedans actually blow one up along with its worshippers, then it’s business as usual…

    More:

    “Normally if that book is lying somewhere on the floor, you tend to pick it up immediately just for respect”
    ………………………………….

    Of course, the Jihadists respect the contents of content of this vile book even more than other Muslims…

    Idea for an art installation (maybe some of those brave folks who held an Islamocritical exhibition in a cafe galleria in London, last year, may take note), inspired by actual Mohammedan behaviour.

    Take a nice big Quran. Open it up. Cut out part of the interior. Stuff with something explosive. (A few ordinary “Cracker Night” or “Bonfire Night” fireworks would have to suffice, unless the artist had access to a professional explosives expert – say, a quarry worker or miner – who knew what they were doing).

    Detonate in a suitable location – say, a deserted quarry or gravel pit or large open field.

    Film the whole thing (that is, from ignition of the fuse, to the explosion). Use high-quality film.

    Then edit so that your finished product is endless-loop film of the Quran sitting there, and then exploding, and reconstituting, and exploding, over and over and over.

    Perhaps supply a voiceover: someone reciting what William Gladstone, 19th century British PM had to say about the Koran – “So long as there is this book, there will be no peace in the world”.

    I believe the report says the bomb was inside a book made to look like the Koran so not actually a copy of the Koran itself. That is how they will justify it.
