When it comes to Muslim persecution of Christians, increasingly the past is a blueprint to the present.
According to Sham Times and other Arabic websites, jihadi social media networks posted the above picture of a child sitting on the ground while surrounded by armed men pointing their rifles at him. The caption appearing with the picture, purportedly posted by a supporter of the Free Syrian Army, is “Our youngest hostage from among the hostile sects of Kessab.”
Kessab is a predominantly Christian Armenian village in Syria near the Turkish border. Earlier it was invaded by jihadis, who terrorized, pillaged churches, and prompted some 2000 residents to flee. Initial reports had stated that about a dozen families remained as hostages.
Since the picture appeared on Arabic social media, many have expressed shock and outrage, condemning the Syrian “rebels,” while others cast doubt on the authenticity of the picture.
Of course, those wondering what the jihadis have to gain from taking such a picture and making it public would do well to remember that these are the same “rebels” who decapitate people and wave their severed and bloodied heads in front of cameras while smiling; these are the same “freedom fighters” who literally eat their victims on camera.
Surely “teasing” an infidel toddler — a subhuman — with their rifles and sharing it with their sadistic comrades via the Internet for a “laugh” should not be too surprising?
Nor is such behavior unprecedented. All one need do is consider the following excerpt based on real events from Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s classic work, The Brothers Karamazov, to appreciate how the present mirrors the past:
These Turks took a pleasure in torturing children, too; cutting the unborn child from the mother’s womb, and tossing babies up in the air and catching them on the points of their bayonets before their mothers’ eyes. Doing it before the mothers’ eyes was what gave zest to the amusement. Here is another scene that I thought very interesting. Imagine a trembling mother with her baby in her arms, a circle of invading Turks around her. They’ve planned a diversion: they pet the baby, laugh to make it laugh. They succeed, the baby laughs. At that moment a Turk points a pistol four inches from the baby’s face. The baby laughs with glee, holds out its little hands to the pistol, and he pulls the trigger in the baby’s face and blows out its brains. Artistic, wasn’t it? By the way, Turks are particularly fond of sweet things, they say.

duh_swami says
Unfortunately, Islam leaves the savage in full possession of his savagery. Don’t these people ever do any inner spiritual struggle jihad? Even a little would bring the realization that this photo is evil, the actual act even worse.
Sometimes I think Islam is not as good a religion as claimed. It certainly produces no saints or saintly people. If it can’t do that, I guess it’s not worth much.
John C. Barile says
Good point, my non-theistic friend–these lunatics are devotees of the Abominable Void, their god.
samar says
Just shut down your mouth… you asshole… what do u know about islam..? Just by seeing anyone don’t point on any religion… religion is different thing… and following it is another thing… if any Christian or any jew kill some people then will you say that Christianity is spreading terrorism ?? Obviously not my friend you will call that person a *criminal* not a terrorist? Then why you people call muslims as terrorists? Obviously there are bad people in every religion/community or group. But the whole community is never blamed.
Christopher says
Christians don’t run countries where women are denied the right to drive/travel alone freely.
Christians don’t run countries where non-believers can be locked up (or worse) purely for being atheist.
Christians do not have multiple armed terrorist groups which kill thousands of people each year.
I DO think Islam and Christianity both commit the same basic philosophical error: accepting a book is divinely inspired on insufficient evidence for such a claim.
BUT Islam is by far the more dangerous in 2014 because of MOHAMMAD. Christians pretty much ignore the Old Testament (the main source of unpleasantness in the Bible), whereas TRUE Muslims CANNOT ignore Mohammad as he is all-pervasive throughout your holy books. And he is a thoroughly unpleasant individual.
All the moderate muslims, they are not the real muslims. One read of the Qu’ran will show you who the real muslims are (the terrorists). The problem is the moderates provide a smokescreen for the real thing and, if they had their back to the wall, who would they side with? Would they vote for an Islamic political party? Would they allow their children to date non-muslims? Etc etc.
Islamisdeath says
Only a holes like you murder children and think it a lark. Satanic!
jackson11_87 says
This just shows what scum ALL MUSLIMS are, this isn’t a religion, it is a cult for morally challenged, inbred scum. There is no such thing as moderate Islam, it’s goal is to pervert everything, and everyone, and any religion that lays out the rape and molestation of young boys and girls is a book of Satan, not god.
John C. Barile says
“These lunatics” are the terrorists; I refer to them, not all Muslims.
I do take a dim view of a religion–Islam–that is at war within itself and beyond, ever waging a cosmic struggle–jihad–against everything and everyone who refuses to yield to it.
No, Samar, I will not “shut up” because you and your co-religionists take offense–I know that I mean no harm to any of you; that I do, in fact, respect your community as a large part of humanity.
Salah says
Keep your head down, Samar. If you don’t read your “holy” books, we do; the whole world has read your books and history. So keep your head down in shame.
Just one tiny little example:

rage against injustice says
“why you people call muslims as terrorists? ” Because MUSLIMS scream alla akbar, while they cut the head of of enemies, because MUSLIMS blow up them selfs in terrorist attacks, because it is no one but MUSLIMS the ones that give your ( if your are a muslim) religion a bad name, and when the NONMUSLIMS criticize the atrocities being committed by MUSLIMS, the moderate MUSLIMS attack and call us bigots and islamophobic as if we were the ones giving their religion a bad name, and by doing this moderate MUSLIMS are part of the problem too. I have never seen a jihad against terrorists done by “moderate muslim”.
john spielman says
more proof for Samar that Islam is a doctrine of demons and Allah is Satan and the same diety worshipped by the ancients as Molech and Baal who demanded and loved human child sacrifice.
Allah just loves it when innocents are slaughtered in his vile name
Steve Golay says
The fact that you refuse to capitalize Jew, when you are very capable of doing so, gives you (and Islam) away.
From your example, one comes to the conclusion that Islam brackets off, isolates, then denies, the humanity of others – in short, their likeness to God.
Denying the godlikenes and godliness of Jews, no wonder Islam points the barrel and butt of guns at the head of infants
shrugger says
Yes we can actually say this about Islam. And you don’t need to be a math Wizard to work this out.

So, Samar, what do you say to your co-religionists who practice the things described in this post? Remember, this was something posted and described by a member of the Free Syrian Army.
s.c. says
obviously that is because the whole community {mo-slum} are to blame, as they are taught to kill infidels almost from the first day of their birth, to the day they strap on a bomb to kill innocent people who have never done them any harm, that is why they are all blamed as they are all guilty.
jeff says
Samar . a people are judged by their actions . these are muslims no ? if they are truly muslims and you sit back idol and allowed you are not differant. YOu muslim people allow this shit. ISLAM is a DAMN JOKE. FUCK YOUR ALLAH !! Mohammed is my bitch.
lo jangta says
your comment shows you who you are?
just like your Prophet “kill who insult Mohammed” raise sword kill ’em all.
jim says
ETA IRA etc etc etc there is a long line of those ( terrorist ) as well as criminal groups all christian,so just like your Islam,you people make me sick,most people of all groups will live and let live apart from Islam which considers itseelf above and beyond reproach.

The appalling samar wrote, replying to John C. Barile:
Just shut down (sic) your mouth… you asshole… what do u (sic) know about islam..?
……………………………….
Not at all surprising that a Muslim would be so aggressive while vehemently denying the aggression of Islam. They see nothing ironic about this.
And why would they? Their intent is not to prove that Islam is *not* violent, but just to prevent Infidels from daring to identify it as such.
And unfortunately for samar and his coreligionists, most of us here know a *great deal* about Islam and its horrific tenets.

Obviously not my friend you will call that person a *criminal* not a terrorist? Then why you people call muslims as terrorists?
……………………………….
Pious Muslims are acting *in the name of Islam*. Human rights abuses like threatening this little Christian child are perfectly acceptable in Islam.
The whole purpose of the Jihad in Syria is to impose Islamic law there, and part of that is religious cleansing of Christians, other-sect Muslims like the Shia, and “heretics” like the Alawites. Claiming that this has nothing to do with Islam is utterly false.
And it is not just in Syria—Muslims have committed, as of this writing, 22,829 terrorist attacks just since 9/11. No Infidels have committed any such atrocities.
More:
Obviously there are bad people in every religion/community or group. But the whole community is never blamed.
……………………………….
The problem is that pious Muslims *don’t* consider these sorts of atrocities to be bad at all. The only thing considered “bad” is failing to act in the name of Islam, like these devout Jihadists.
Notice that samar never quite gets around to specifically condemning his coreligionists threatening of this little baby. There’s a reason for that…

Totally insane–unless you’re falling into line with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Transmaster says
Not to worry the Obama is sending TOW missiles to Syria. Assad’s army is equipped with Russian T-90 tanks. The problem with a TOW missile is it is not a fire and forget weapon. The person who fired it must Allah Akbar it all of the way the the target. The T-90 has sensors to detect such a launch and where it came from, plus it’s reactive armor is designed to shrug off TOW missile strikes. In the mean time the T-90 has a 125mm anti personal projectile headed to send the Holy warrior of TOW to paradise in little tiny pieces.

The child was most likely one of their own they photographed for propaganda shots. Besides, those filthy, uncivilized sons of pigs would not waste a baby they can rape just for a little photo shoot.
This post really makes me furious.

Angela, I’m not sure why you think these Jihadists wouldn’t really threaten a Christian child.
Also, we don’t know what happened to the tyke *after* this terrible photograph was taken.
I pray that the little child is safe—or at least still alive—but I realize the odds of that are *not good*.

The saddest part is that those men pointing their guns at the child in that picture do not have even the vaguest understanding of the meaning of love.
EYESOPEN says
You got that absolutely right CES. No human being with an ounce of decency would EVER do that to a child. Then take a picture to laugh about with your demon-inspired buddies? Really? One thing to note: the child seems unafraid. I wonder what lies in the black hearts and evil minds of these creatures?
Silvia says
The epitome of muslim “bravery”.
This reminds me of Holocaust pics, of Nazis torturing and murdering Jewish kids and being proud of it. AND THE WORLD STILL SHUTS UP AND DOES NOTHING!!!
I’m losing the little faith I had left in humanity. People have learned nothing from history. There is no progress, just interests. The barbarians are still talking apes and the ones who consider themselves “enlightened”, liberal and modern, look the other way.
BlueRaven says
Seriously sick culture. This is not the first time, they been killing babies over thousand years , you only need to read the history of any nation that suffered under Islam. Killing a baby serves two purposes simultaneously: one infidel less the parents are torchered till they die.
voegelinian says
But remember the most important thing: Not all Muslims are bad.
This is the most important thing because, apparently, our ethical narcissism (feeling that we are still nice people and not “bigoted”) is more important than the lives of our friends, family, loved ones, and fellow citizens.
Charli Main says
Indeed they are not, Voegelinian!! these peaceful, tolerant, Kaffir loving Muslims are followers of the happy, clappy, slappy Kumbyar Koran. The one the evil Jihadists have misunderstood and misinterpreted.

Islamsdeath:
It might well be Obama holding that gun, and I’m not being sarcastic. Do you remember how he voted for the infanticide enabling act when he was a State Senator in Illinois?
I forget if he was for a bill allowing the murder of live-born babies after an abortion failed to kill, or he was against a bill that allowed doctor’s and nurses to save the living, breathing child. Perhaps someone more familiar with the actual legislation can help out on this.
Obama in this case was the priest at the Tophet, sacrificing children in worship of his ego, party, and donations.
If Islam is evil, and I concur it is, cannot we simply state Obama is the same?
Islamisdeath says
Obama is truly evil I believe the bill you referr to would not allow Dr’s and nurses to save the living breathing child. He is truly evil!

Remember the obscenity of Beslan??? That atrocity was conducted by both male and female devout Muslims, as I recall, i i think the savages butchered more than 800 people total, including hundreds of little innocent children just like this one, (but i may be wrong about the exact numbers).
Islam needs destroying worse than Nazism or Shintoism. Islam is responsible for more deaths than those two ideologies combined.

Only heartless, soulless mohammedan barbarians would put a child, and his family, through such torment. And I can barely stand to view this photo, but this is the ugly truth about evil islam and company that must be exposed.
dumbledoresarmy says
Here is something else, but it similarly exhibits the Ummah unmasked, spewing hate and contempt and aggression.
On the Temple Mount, the holiest place on earth for Jews, a mob of mohammedans came damn close to lynching a group of unarmed and peaceful Orthodox Jews – parents and young children. Only the presence of armed Israeli police – though those police behave in a shamefully dhimmi manner, and did not arrest even *one* of the howling mohammedans – prevented that lynching.

Watch: Muslims Mob Terrified Jewish Children on Temple Mount
Several dozen hareidi Jews, including children, ascended the Temple Mount, and were surrounded by an angry mob.
Watch – and, more importantly, *listen to* – the video footage.
One gets the sense that, if they could, if they felt just a little bolder, they would seize those terrified Jewish children and tear them to pieces.
I watched this footage and it confirmed me in my belief that Israel would be justified in taking total control of the Temple Mount, removing every last mohammedan building from it – stone by accursed stone – and then excluding all mohammedans from it, forever after.
