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

Decapitated heads of policemen and soldiers line the streets of Mosul as ISIS imposes Sharia

Jun 12, 2014 5:56 pm By Robert Spencer

ISISjihadis2“So when you meet those who disbelieve, strike necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) But of course any Muslim who takes such a verse at face value is misunderstander of Islam, unduly influenced by greasy Islamophobes. Somehow this aggressive organization of misunderstanders of Islam has been able to gain sufficient support and power to wreak havoc in Iraq.

“‘They lined the streets with the decapitated heads of police and soldiers’: Iraqi refugee reveals the horrors of the jihadi takeover as Baghdad vows to fight back,” by Jill Reilly and Kieran Corcoran, Daily Mail, June 12, 2014:

The decapitated heads of policeman and soldiers are lining the streets of Iraq’s second biggest city, a displaced Iraqi woman has revealed today.

Speaking from a refugee camp to which she fled after jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (also known as ISIS) invaded the northern city of Mosul on Tuesday, the woman told of the horrific treatment meted out to those who do not bow to their rapidly expanding rule.

It would appear the occupation of Mosul was made easier by the fact a reported 30,000 soldiers fled, leaving behind tanks and firearms as just 800 fighters approached.

Less than 24 hours later the oil-rich city of Tikrit was captured by the militants, who then turned their attentions to the capital as it pushes ahead with its aim to overthrow the western-backed government as part of its goal to create an Islamic emirate spanning both sides of the Iraq-Syria border.

As jihadists now march on Baghdad after capturing swathes of northern Iraq male supporters of the government turned out today to enlist.

The recruits will expect to fight back against the ISIS militants, who impose a brutal brand of Islamic law in their territory, characterised by amputations, beheadings and crucifixions. The refugee woman, speaking to the BBC, told how decapitated victims’ heads were in placed in rows – a trademark, trophy-style execution which ISIS favours.

Government forces have so far managed to stall the militants’ remarkably rapid advance near Samarra – a city 110km (68 miles) north of Baghdad – and are now bombing insurgent positions in and around Mosul. Some 500,000 residents are estimated to have fled, which still leaves a civilian population of 1.3million behind….

          Of course—those who play with severed heads are always ‘someone nice’—pious Mohammedans, that it. But no doubt the devout Rezali Mehil hopes it will be a fellow Shi’ite…

          I suppose this is what passes for humor with this nasty Muslimah…*ugh*.

      @ Rezali the clown!

      Trained by American forces in the ways of war, yes, but you can’t ‘train’ someone to have courage. And, I’ll bet, you’d be the first to run if any kind of danger approached. I get the feeling you have a yellow streak a mile wide down your back!
      And a zip at the back of your head to keep your tiny brain in place!

        Budvarakbar…Obama has a bit of a quandary. Help Iraq attack the same bad guys that he is trying to help in Syria? Join in with Iran against the ISIS in Iraq? He is fanning the fire either way.

    Most probably, the soldiers were Sunni who changed sides,

    As Henry kissinger said, it is a pity that both cannot lose.

    MUHAMMAD personally DECAPITATED 900 UNARMED JEWS of the Banu Quarayza tribe. These Muslims are simply emulating the “perfect” man, the sociopath MUHAMMAD.

  4. Rezali Mehil says

    Jun 12, 2014 at 6:18 pm

    Really what is needed is a pincer movement by shia forces to the Saud…that will turn the ISIS in a different direction.

    I’ll bet Obama will come running then to the aid of his king

    Shia have always had a raw deal by the West…

      Translation: after we foolishly and unintentionally wound up handing Iraq over to the Shi’ites, we should have the good graces to ensure that their savage Sunni rivals don’t take over the country—and we should manage to do that after having left the country as they wished.

      Never mind that this makes no rational sense—what do pious Mohammedans need with logic?

        Shia . . . aren’t they the ones who took the hostages in Teheran, 1979?
        Yeah, we remember.
        And Iran will pay for it many times over.
        In graves and spades.
        The fist is cocked.
        It hasn’t moved for a long time.
        But it will. Oh yes, it will.

    Every muslim jihadi, extremist, murderer, terrorist that is sent back to mohammed the rapist, the pedophile, raving maniac, butt-f^cker, back to the ’70 virgins’ with his head missing (think sheikh yassin) or otherwise vaporized, is a blessing for Israel and the entire West. Even tho’ the liberal, left wing governments are turning a blind eye to the Islamo-fascism slowly taking over our societies, it’s up to US, you and me, to resist their every move, wherever we find them.

    Watch and send around the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_QpyOmXg8Y or by title: Why We Are Afraid, A 1400 Year Secret, by Dr Bill Warner

      This video seems to have been compromised: YouTube sez it’s “unavailable” and the on doctor’s site the video stops about one minute into the 44 minute talk. I’ve been finding this frustrating situation coming up rather noticeably in the last few weeks. OT – I saw a video of Obama embracing and chatting with and congratulating the first Afghan cadet to graduate from West Point and his father with the ill-fitting suit. I am not crazy; I saw O, heard the graduate explain how he studied engineering and wants to go back to Afghanistan to help the people… When I returned to Google later in the same day to forward this interesting video to others, it had disappeared entirely from Google results, along with any mention of an Afghani West Point graduate, except for a tiny note in Army Times. Go figure.

    Doesn’t this sound like *a vision of hell itself*?

    And this is what pious Muslims want the whole world to look like.

    Could you direct us, please, Jill Reilly and Kieran Corcoran, to a NON-“brutal brand of Islamic law”? We cannot find it in the Koran, nor in the Manual of Islamic Law.

      Yes, this man is very good explaining what Islam is. I’ve watched most of his videos. I mentioned him and his coming to our area to a pastor and I was looked at like I had 3 heads.
      Pastors don’t want to talk about this stuff. Not many at least. God needs them to grow a pair. They are brain washed and bullied to not preach to the issues

  10. Jay Boo says

    Jun 13, 2014 at 8:27 am

    I can’t blame a mere 30,000 soldiers for fleeing, leaving behind tanks and firearms as just 800 fighters.
    These fighters are likely fighting with the latest highly advanced anti-tank and other weapons using communication and command jamming techniques coordinated by the MB controlled Obama and Qatar.

    The question is, will the outrage in the Muslim world exceed what happened when the Danish newspaper published those cartoons of Muhammed?
