“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment” (Qur’an 5:33)
“ISIS crucifies 8 rebels in Aleppo: activists,” Agence France Presse, June 29, 2014:
BEIRUT: A jihadist group in Syria has publicly executed and crucified eight rebels fighting both President Bashar Assad’s regime and the jihadists, an activist group said Sunday.
The report comes amid fierce clashes on the outskirts of Damascus between the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), which is spearheading a major offensive in Iraq, and rebels, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
“ISIS executed eight men in Deir Hafer in the east of Aleppo province” Saturday because they belonged to rebel groups that had fought against the jihadists as well as Assad’s forces, it said.
ISIS then “crucified them in the main square of the village, where their bodies will remain for three days”, the Britain-based group said.
Also in Aleppo province, a ninth man was crucified for eight hours as a form of punishment in Al-Bab town near the border with Turkey.
He survived the ordeal.
ISIS first emerged in Syria’s war in late spring last year and was initially welcomed by some Syrian rebels who believed its combat experience would help topple Assad.
But subsequent jihadist abuses quickly turned the Syrian opposition, including Islamists, against ISIS.
Rebels launched a major anti-ISIS offensive in January 2014, and have pushed them out of large swathes of Aleppo province and all of Idlib in the northwest.
However, ISIS remains firmly rooted in Raqqa, its northern Syrian headquarters, and wields significant power in Deir al-Zor in the east near the border with Iraq.
Activists say the group’s Iraq offensive and capture of heavy weapons – some of them U.S.-made – appears to have boosted its confidence in Syria.
East of Damascus, “fierce clashes broke out early Sunday between rebels from the Army of Islam and ISIS near the town of Hammourieh,” the Observatory said.
The Army of Islam is a major component of the Islamic Front, Syria’s largest rebel coalition which has been fighting ISIS for months, but such fighting in Damascus province is unprecedented.
Regime soldiers and warplanes backed by Hezbollah also pounded rebel positions near the capital with rockets and surface-to-surface missiles, said the Local Coordination Committees activist network.
Syria’s war began as a peaceful protest movement in March 2011 demanding political change, but became an armed insurgency when Assad’s regime unleashed a brutal crackdown.
Many months into the fighting, jihadists began to flock to Syria where upwards of 162,000 people have been killed and millions displaced in more than three years of conflict.

An important question: is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax? The jihadists use many verses from the Quran as the Main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. There, the question is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

Those fanatical Muslim boys aren’t afraid of a cross when it comes to something like inflicting pain and death upon others. But let them see a small cross hanging on a chain around a person’s neck and they throw a screaming tantrum like little babies. They disgust me. You “moderate” Muslims (if you really exist), why don’t you just go all the way and renounce Islam and come over to this side of the chasm that separates us. I can’t promise you any guns or money but you can still join us non-practitioners of the religion of submission and watch with us as the slaves of Allah destroy themselves. Inside your heart of hearts you know you don’t want to have any more to do with that lunacy…don’t you? There has to be a better way……..and there is.

A Message to Muslims
The reason the Qur’an condones such hatefulness is to hide the obvious FACT that Islam is not and never will be a religion.
Exodus from Medina
Desert spirits spoke in twisted verse, a dance of words to recite, to recite.
Medina’s false prophet this rehearsed in a cave near Mecca veiled by night.
But the angel Gabriel saw his descent, and said “Pawn of Satan turn, repent, repent.”
But, sharia’s verse planted its infected creed fertilized by this false prophet’s made-up dream.
A vain attempt to partner with God almighty was dredged up from the lowest pit of his vanity.
Bloodied hands are now washed before prayers that incite
as hate speech is masked as devotion to recite, to recite.
Along Medina’s “fastest growing” path straight to hell
“Nine Eleven” admirers grovel beneath Satan’s will.
Jihadists then bow not to God but to Islam’s unholy weapon,
as false humility makes its pilgrimage to Satan’s deception.
True infidels, they use God’s name as a deadly curse.
Blasphemy crawls from sharia’s stockpile of vile, veiled verse.
This cult intimidates then hides behind the “cloak of religion”
aided by willful ignorance of liars with shameless intentions.
Jan Fourowls says
You’re a skilled poet, Jay Boo! Thanks for your bravery in speaking out against the atrocity that is Islam.
And may the true God and His holy angels be our protection from all works of the devil and all onslaughts of Islam and Mohammad’s followers, in the name of Jesus Christ (thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit), Amen.
The Jewish people, being the “apple of God’s eye” and the original covenant people, no doubt as well have some serious clout with God in their prayers opposed to the evil of Islam.
It’s not that I need to type out prayer for it to be effective, but if indeed the Islamist apologists read here, I want any who believe in their “religion” of hatred to see the words, and written by a woman, too, of prayer for followers of the real Jesus who loved and made females equal to males in Christ. Source: The Holy Bible, e.g., Joel 2:28, Matthew 26:7, 13, Matthew 28:1-10, Mark 14:3, 9, Acts 2:17-18, Galatians 3:28.
Jay Boo says
Is there any self-serving depravity that the satanic verse 53:19 quoting prophet of Islam would not use while attempting to ‘Partner with’ the normally ‘unknowable’ (except by Muhammad) Allah?
Arjay says
Hey Jihad Watch readers. If you were to ask me when did I ever hear of mass crucifixions… I would say in movies or books.
When was “crucifixion” last part of a modern day story (book), movie or television episode? Yes, there is “The Passion of the Christ” film and of course the recent productions from Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett. Some of the recent “historical fiction” books and TV series set in the time of the Roman Empire may also have crucifixion.
However, this is all “in the past” settings for books, films and TV shows.
Only a few books or shows have depicted it in “modern times.” One of these is the Stephen King book “The Stand.” I don’t know if the TV series of the same, had the crucifixion sub-plot… but the book did. The book set in “modern times” had a science fiction and horror/supernatural theme. To me when I read the book… it ALMOST HAD TO HAVE SUCH A FANTASTIC AND UNBELIEVABLE PREMISE in order to explain the crucifixions taking place in the story. Which is then psychically (paranormally) turned into dreams/nightmares other characters have.
Part sci-fi with a bio-weapon unleashed that kills millions…. it then goes supernatural and “horror” when survivors come under control of a paranormal shape-shifting demon-creature named Flagg. It is in a community he (the demon creature) rules in the remains of Las Vegas… where he CRUCIFIES THE OPPOSITION AND REBELS WHO TURN AGAINST HIM. He also, crucifies people at random to promote terror amongst his subjects.
I mention the science fiction/horror/supernatural ie UNBELIEVABLE genres about this book because… well, for crucifixions to take place in the modern day as a form of punishment and mass-executions…
Well, it just seemed that IT HAD TO BE SCIENCE FICTION AND HORROR FICTION and be COMMITTED BY SUPERNATURAL characters that could not exist. After, all who else but a paranormal shape-shifting demon creature who takes over an America post-Apocalypse (science fiction)… would ever crucify people in groups? Especially, PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE EVIL AND TYRANNY.
This is so incredible ghoulish.
I have to take a deep breath here. Islam has done what people thought in the present day would be so unbelievable that it had to be done within the concept of science fiction and horror stories with supernatural creatures committing the atrocity because after all…. in the modern world no one would ever do this!
Muslims have made the supernatural and science fiction/horror genre come to life. Mass crucifixions in modern times was not so long ago… a premise of science fiction with shape shifting demon people. Look what Islam brings.
Jan Fourowls says
Yes, the everyday horrors keep mounting, don’t they? You make very good points, Arjay. Finding a way to communicate Islam’s ever-escalating atrocity to people who don’t already know (and mainstream media isn’t doing it) is almost humanly impossible because the facts are so unbearable. I trust God, the real Judeo-Christian God, to use good infinite supernatural methods beyond human methods in combination with the bravery of those human beings willing to face and write about it.
Jan Fourowls says
Appreciation for your comment, Arjay, inadvertently put under Stephanie’s comment!
Jan Fourowls says
The photo posted says a thousand words, doesn’t it? Thanks to everyone who posts and comments here, because it takes bravery to speak truth in these appalling times.
The Quran evilly orders the crucifixion of others who do not capitulate to Islam’s evil. As with translations into English of any non-English text, there are non-substantive linguistic differences from some other translations in the Quran I have (a 1980 translation approved by both Sunni and Shii Councils in the Republic of Lebanon). Quran 5:33 by the 1980 Sunni and Shii Councils translation first specifies shaming and stern punishment for opposing Allah and Muhammad as follows: “put to death or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land,” and then states with mind-boggling hypocrisy, “Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”
The Quran idolizes its author Mohammad and itself as a mesmerizing book programmed into Islamic faith adherents; it does not teach the truth about Jesus, the crucified Lamb of God. See, instead, any of Yale Law-educated Lee Strobel’s books making the case for Christian faith and Jesus Christ based on biblical and extra-biblical sources of history, archeology and sociocultural validation.
The false doctrine of Islam’s peacefulness trumpeted by its political apologists is based on empty Quranic words like the faux Islamic forgiveness and mercy that belies the reality of the Quran’s sociopolitical prescriptions for crucifixion and other murderous tortures. Another example: “Seek out your enemies relentlessly,” and in the same paragraph, “Allah is Knowing, Wise.” (Quran 4:103).
If I hadn’t already returned for reasons of my own repentance to Christianity, the appearance of the demonic in the modern conduct of Islamists, and the palpable hatred within the pages of the Quran as written by Muhammad, would send me into the arms of Jesus as “Christus Victor” over the Evil One. “Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy name … and deliver us from evil [or depending on the translator, the Evil One] …”
If you’re wondering how smart postmodernist people believe in literal fallen bad angels (Satan and demons), you could check out Ivy League-educated Greg Boyd’s online information about “God at War” [which he means in a spiritual sense only — because as a theologian and megachurch pastor he has a self-sacrificial peacemaker view of being Christian that reminds me of Mennonites or Quakers — when most observant American Christians would still prefer FDR’s and Winston Churchill’s version of self-defense by nations against tyranny].
How can anyone except for political or financial gain (or in manmade fear of Muslim violence) call Islam a religion and Allah a real god and not a devil? In our insanely pro-Islam modern era, evangelist-to-the-world Billy Graham probably wouldn’t be allowed to speak in many venues today where he was welcome while still preaching, because he unapologetically shared an exclusive gospel of true peace based on contemporaneously reported and written words of Jesus about His dying for our sins on the cross, His resurrection for our eternal salvation, and our repentance in coming to Him.
While still on earth we’re encouraged as Christians not to hate and to do good through spiritually loving (not joining) our enemies. Christians fall short of what Jesus taught, but many work toward the gospel message. Muslims who terrorize, crucify, murder and maim are on the other (severed) hand doing exactly as Muhammad directed in pages of the Quran anybody can read for themselves.
Billy Graham’s daughter, Anne Graham Lotz, speaks to this generation (ours) as likely being the last before the end times that will usher in the reign of Christ, and even if I weren’t a Christian I’d find her marshaling of facts compelling. If anyone reading here is open to it, she’s recommending 7 days of Christian prayer in the 7th month (July 2014) including a 7-hour fast on the 7th day. Sweet (!!!!!!!) that this is slated to occur during Islamist Ramadan in July where Muslims are basically praying and fasting all month for our physical conquest and destruction (as the Quran teaches them to do).

P.S. Re: the comment above and various name spellings for the putative prophet, I just am unwilling on principle to put his name in my spell-checker, so Muhammad, Mohammad, whatever, a sword by any name is still so bad.
Jan Fourowls says
P.P.S As I write, read and comment here, it does occur noteworthy that the true Jesus Christ — who never wielded the sword (and before His crucifixion healed an enemy’s ear because a disciple had used a sword to try to stop Jesus from being violently carried away to the cross) — as reported in the Bible said that not peace but a sword would be coming before His ultimate victory at the end of current history. That’s a very long sentence! The point? Maybe a demonic pseudo-religion of global conquest like Islam was inevitable if not foreordained. Mohammad’s so-called religion would be the tailor-made vehicle for a fallen chief angel who opposed the real God’s sovereignty over humanity. Jesus referred to this fallen angel, Satan, as the prince of this world. Isn’t that what Mohammad and his followers have always wanted, to rule this world and the people in it?
Muslims are going to be so surprised (those brainwashed enough to really believe it) when the real day of Judgment arrives! That’s when they’ll take their place eternally separated from God with the devil and his fallen angels. No 21 virgins for each terrorist in God’s hell.
And those who orchestrated 9/11 and every other atrocity of the 21st and 20th centuries (when they have so many reasons to know better) including this mass crucifixion? There are gradations of punishment in hell (biblically indicated) — they may be saying “hello Hitler.”
If Islamists read this, and I hope they do, it is my wish and prayer that they repent and turn to the real Jesus who died for their sins, that they may avoid hell and find a new life.
Bukkdems says
It’s not just the 20th and 21st century. All of N. Africa was once Christian. In the 1860’s Henry Stanley, of “Livingston, I presume” fame, returned to the Belgian Congo during the “cruelest” period of imperialism under King Leopold. Mark Twain wrote a scathing book about the rubber plantations.
Mr. Stanley traveled further east to find that mercenary Moslem armies were invading villages, looting, taking children for slaves and harems, burning their fields and leaving no living adult to tell the story. Often, for just one tusk of ivory (and sex). Polygamy raises armies of unmarried men and violence is the consequence.
I believe that if polygamy were banished as it was in Turkey, in 100 years we will have tamed the Muslims. However, polygamy will probably be the next “human rights crusade” once the left has us paying for childhood transgender surgery.

From the article
“ISIS <b.executed eight men in Deir Hafer in the east of Aleppo province” Saturday because they belonged to rebel groups that had fought against the jihadists as well as Assad’s forces, it said.
ISIS then “crucified them in the main square of the village, where their bodies will remain for three days”, the Britain-based group said.
So the ISIS hung up the dead bodies, how can this be crucifixion, you can not crucify dead bodies, executing them before crucifying the defeats the purpose of crucifixion which is a form of slow and painful execution in which the victim is tied or nailed to a large wooden cross and left to hang until dead.
ISIS executed these people and hung them up as a warning, the same as the 7 people just recently who where shot and hung up in the city of Raqqa in northern Syria
