The beliefs that would lead a man to think that he was pleasing his god by committing murder would seem to be a matter of concern to the world, as such beliefs could lead to widespread violence, were they held by a sufficient number of people. But we all know that to examine that belief system, much less to ask those who hold such beliefs but who say that they do not think they justify murder to help devise ways to stop this kind of murder, would be in itself an act of “hatred” on par with the murder itself. And so nothing is done.
“Iraq crisis: The footage that shows Isis militants taunting and killing Shia soldiers,” by Adam Lusher, the Independent, June 16, 2014:
The video shows five unarmed soldiers, their hands tied behind their backs, sitting on the ground as they are berated by one of their captors. They all appear terrified and one has a bloodied face.
When asked where the government forces are, one soldier replies they have left.
The extremist, carrying an assault rifle, shows the camera the badges on the uniforms of his prisoners. He then grabs them one after the other by the hair and makes them repeat the Isis slogan ‘Baqiya’, which is thought to mean “(Isis) will remain in existence” or “Islamic state will stay”.
One of the men, a corporal, appears to be more reluctant than the others to repeat the slogan, and has to be ordered several times to say the word before he obeys.
Off camera, the corporal’s tormentor forces him to lie on the ground and shoots him.
The video then shows the militant gloating over what he has done, and holding the dead man’s identity card up to the camera.
He asks a captured soldier sitting beside the dead body: “This dog I killed, where is he from?”
Told that the man he killed was a Shia from Sinjar, in northern Iraq, he says: “He is a Shia, praise to Allah, the lord of the universe!
“Praise to Allah, whether he is a believer or not, I killed him. I killed a Shia! I killed a Shia!”
Responding to the video, and others which appear to show Isis militants killing unarmed prisoners, Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said: “It appears hundreds of non-combatant men were summarily executed over the past five days, including surrendered or captured soldiers, military conscripts, police and others associated with the government.
“This apparently systematic series of cold-blooded executions, almost certainly amounts to war crimes.”
s.c. says
and just who is going to charge these killers with war crimes? you can bet your butt that barry the imposter will not do such a thing, and the rest of the so called civilized nations will just turn their heads and pretend that it never happened, the gutless basta%$, welcome to the new world order run by the U.N.

Let’s face it. Obama is the president of a complacent nation with a huge number of government dependent people. I hate to say it but majority of the Americans still do not have curiosity to find out that there is a religious war against us. This will not change until we see the same bloodshed in our streets like Iraq, Syria, Kenya, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somali, etc. Even then maybe not as we are a soft nation now. Very, very, very soft especially in the brain.
Joseph says
Well the [violent] killers of these men cannot be authentic Muslims. At least not according to Pope Francis, who has officially declared:
“Authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence” [Evangelii Gaudium #253].
Unfortunately, as anyone with any sense knows, this statement only serves to demonstrate the Pope’s profound ignorance of the true nature of Islam. And all free people should take note that this pope is NOT an ally in our [defensive] war against Islamic jihad. In fact, each day brings us new evidence that in fact he is an ally of Islam and an enemy of both Israel and the West.
Useful idiot. Emphasis on the latter. And he’s the HEAD of the Church[?]
What a sad and embarrassing time to be a Catholic.
citycat says
The pope is not relevant to a disciple’s practice. You’ve got yer top man Jesus, who said that all men are equal, i think.
The pope is a disciple and does affect a person’s faith, or what you call it.
I would have thought that the pope would sort out Maliki, but the pope is not the Christ.

The pope should not be allowed to affect one’s faith.
One should not allow the pope or whoever to affect one’s faith, is what i mean.

It is becoming brutally obvious that the Islamic ‘Reformation’ is in full process. Islam is reforming itself from a religion that tolerated slaughter, into a religion that openly and single-mindedly worships a Slaughter God, and that acts of slaughter of helpless human beings are pious offerings to this entity.
Meanwhile, the religious and political leadership of the West inhabits plastic bubbles full of happy gas.
Vapourking says
Due to the lunacy of the West’s immigration policy over the past decade especially Europe and the UK, any intervention whether it be with personnel or arms assistance in Middle Eastern conflicts now have much broader implications.
This current Sunni v Shia thing in Syria and Iraq which has now escalated into Jihad for an Islamic caliphate, which has Sunni’s all over the world salivating at the prospect,
I hope the US (especially) and Western leaders understand what’s actually going on, as we now have millions of these delightful human beings living amongst us, any support of either side runs the risk of retaliation terror attacks thus endangering us basically more so than ever.
The West tends to ignore the elephant in the room, when meddling in Middle Eastern affairs….

The Saudis are perfectly aware that their funds are soon to start dwindling. In my view, this explains the push for “Sharia Finance” in the West. Expect more “shock stories” in the coming years about funnelling money from Sharia accounts to fund terrorism, in much the same way “Islamic charities” have been exposed…

What evil has come between these people?
Whatever is Allah, or the governing principle of all this, needs to sussed relived of its current occupation, which is theft of souls on a grand scale.
Allah may realise the end is nigh and has blinded itself drunk on the souls of many muslims, parallelly speaking.
Allah is the name of the sub-human vampiric entity, even if it is a group of humans.
Muslims activities are not only sub-human, they are sub-animal, even an animal takes care of its young in a family or group situation.
Charli Main says
Muslims can´t be charged with war crimes because Muslims don´t commit war crimes. They are just good Muslims practicing their religion as laid out in the Koran, Hadiths and Suras.
To punish a man for following the tenets of his faith is a gross violation of his Human and Religious Rights.
Why, it could even be downright Islamophobic to suggest that Muslims commit war crimes.!!!!!
logdon says
‘This war is just beginning. Any attempts to portray either of the warring sides as “anti-terrorist” or “pro-western” should be stubbornly resisted. Acceptance of such definitions is the entry hall to new policy failures and wasted lives. ISIL and the Quds Force differ in organizational structure, but are similarly anti-western — and similarly vile. They should be left to bleed one another white.’

Johnny Palestine says
Who armed and financed this scum??? American & British Anglos according to WND
So in the course of less than a year, the Obama Administration has proposed an alliance with al-Qaeda in Syria and now an alliance with Iran to fight those very same forces.
A Jordanian official who is terrified that ISIS will be coming for the Kingdom next, has insisted that the U.S. itself was instrumental in training some ISIS fighters. Wait, it gets even crazier. We learn that:
The source told WND that at least one of the training camps of the group Iraq of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Syria, the ISIS, is in the vicinity of Incirlik Air Base near Adana, Turkey, where American personnel and equipment are located.
The source said that after training in Turkey, thousands of ISIS fighters went to Iraq by way of Syria to join the effort to establish an Islamic caliphate subject to strict Islamic law, or Shariah.
This is simply incredible. Our allies in the Middle East are now accusing us of intentionality arming and supporting al-Qaeda in Iraq. The children running things in Washington D.C. have no clue what they are doing and are about to blow up the world. They all need to go.

But not all of it. Whenever *anything* goes wrong in the Muslim world, their first instinct is *always* to blame the “filthy Kuffar”.
The fact is that with the notable exception of Israel, we don’t have any real allies in the Middle East—just Mohammedans of varying degrees of enmity who enjoy raking in our tribute, that is, “foreign aid”…

Rather like the joy the Catholics and Protestants felt when they killed each other! Or the destruction of the great library at Alexandria by the Egyptian Christians. Or the burning of the Jews, witches, heretics , etc. what a terrible world organized religion creates!

flakmusic says
” …what a terrible world organized religion creates”
And what religion, organized or unorganized, has created a moronic ignoramus like yourself? Or is there some other entity or process responsible for the particular kind of stupidity you’re so proudly flaunting?
But seriously now:
Dennis Trisker, you are a cretin.
Mirren10 says
This witless moral equivalence spouted by you, and your ilk, has absolutely no traction.
Try to engage the brain which I assume you possess, and think.
The murderous hostilities between Catholics and Protestants, ended over 500 years ago. And when they were taking place, the people who committed these atrocities, were **acting in direct contravention of the tenets of Christianity**.
In contrast, the atrocities carried out by mohammedans, **today**, are a direct result of them carrying out the instructions **given to them in the koran, and the instructions of the evil mohammed**.
Can you manage to process that **fundamental** difference ?
The **only ** organised religion in the world, today, that carries out vile atrocities against Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, atheists et al, is **islam**
It is **mohammedans** who are lining the streets of Mosul with the heads of their enemies, not any other ‘organised religion’.
It is **mohammedans**, not any other ‘organised religion today**, who murder those they perceive to be witches and sorcerers.
So it is **islam** that is the ‘organised religion’ that is carrying out all these atrocities, **today**, on the authority of their ‘religious’ texts, and the authority of their ‘prophet’.
So I will ask you this; if it came to it, which ‘organised religion’ would you prefer to live under, if you had to ?
Which ‘organised religion’, do you think, would murder you, torture you, and flog you ?

It does say in the prophesies for the end times in the Word of God, the Bible that there would be a belief system that killing unbelievers would be doing Almighty God a favour! How warped!

Told that the man he killed was a Shia from Sinjar, in northern Iraq, he says: “He is a Shia, praise to Allah, the lord of the universe!
“Praise to Allah, whether he is a believer or not, I killed him. I killed a Shia! I killed a Shia!”
………………………………………
Even though the victim in this case is also a “believer”, his murder is pleasing to “Allah”—because he was the wrong kind of believer—a Shi’ite.
More:

Yes, indeed. And if it is fine to kill “other sect” believers, then it it also pleasing to the sanguinary deity “Allah” to slaughter Infidels, ‘heretical sect’ Muslims like the Alawites and Ahmadi, and ‘disobedient’ women.
Islam is, in fact, at its dark heart a “religion” of blood and death, where slaughter is pleasing. The body count is rising—and Allah is pleased.
The rest of us should be alarmed, though—and should be able to say so.
Rezali Mehil says
Come O people of Jihadwatch… come and condemn this murdering filth of sunnism.
They have no sunny disposition, then cannot tell the jokes and they cannot do the singing.
They can do the firing and they can do the knifing….that goes for the sunni side up women too.
We now have 5 less shia to stop the sunni….who are now going feed their families – to procreate more shia to stop these butchers.
My heart goes out to these people …and they need the allies too soon ….otherwise it maybe too late…..even the christian should join the force with us ( but he just turns the other cheek), the Buddhist …too careful in spilling blood, the hindu too scared and the American in Obama’s pocket.

The Christians should join forces with you? No we should not because the minute the tide has turned you will turn around and start murdering us. Your religion is about death and slaughter. How does it feel to be on the getting slaughtered side? Not good? Many Christians have been on that side with your murderous brethern doing the murdering. I feel no sorrow for you but as a Christian I understand your feelings.
Leave your death cult. Turn to God.

So why do you expect a Kafir-on-the-street to see the difference between the two of you? Is it because you are as stupid as your a sunni?
Ha, the list of similarities between you and your sunni twin appears endless.

Leave the beard, forget about the ‘whispering and pointing fingers’ ( I know this is difficult, but think how proud your little wifies will be , when you get yourself blown up for ‘allah’) and do your duty as a proud ‘lion of islam’. 🙂

Sorry Rezali we can’t help this time, however supplying arms and watching Muslims destroy themselves is something we can do.
Look at it from our point of view, Muslims from both sides hate us right?
This Sunni v Shia thing has the potential to keep Muslims occupied for years, which gives us a much needed break and presents an opportunity for our finest Islamic youth to show their wares.
Would you consider donating to the fund I’m setting up? I tell ya the kit these kids want isn’t cheap!! Ah actually hold that thought how rude of me, helping these kids look their best for their date with Allah is least we can do.

Littlenan says
What bullying cowards these thugs are. Why does the West show such deference to Islam? It is an evil cult. The Qu’ran teaches them to do these types of outrageously cruel acts, although usually to non-muslims.
If any Christian in any part of the world did these crimes, there would be an outraged call from every nation to bring them to trial.
citycat says
Whether the world is better or not withous religion, is a question that does merit attention in light of the evil currently stalking humanity, and also therefore in light of evils past by all religions. One might have expected evil per se to have stopped by now in light of the idea of humanity evolving, which does not seem to be happening despite all the religions and gods that have ever been, which therefore gives pause to wonder if religion can possibly be as beneficiant as it is claimed by each devoted follower of all religions, each of which regards the other religions as wrong, thereby causing all religious people on Earth to view all religions, other than their own, to be wrong, which means that the world views the greater part of the world as wrong, religiously speaking of course.
So how then can there be harmony with all the absolute views.
How many religions?
How many fixed notes not in harmony?
A cacophony of arrogance is the result.
Unless of course you can see the common thread running through all of them.
Cooperation, maybe?
gravenimage says
citycat, your envisioning a world without religion is fine—although I very much doubt that that would stop evil—certainly, it did not in Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia, Mao’s China, or Pol Pot’s Cambodia.
But whatever people’s human failings, you will not find Methodists screaming with joy over killing Baptists in the name of God, nor Hassidim doing the same over Reform Jews.
The fact is that the *content* of one’s religion, philosophy, or creed makes a *great deal of difference* in how its adherents conduct themselves, whether or not you believe in the truth of any given faith or not.
To pretend otherwise is just false moral equivalence.
thomas_h says
“To pretend otherwise is just false moral equivalence.”
Very true, of course, Graven.
But I would like to add that pretending not to see a falseness is to be dishonest. And to choose dishonesty is an act of sacrifice to an idol one worships. CityCat’s idol is the jealous god of atheism.
citycat says
Sweet Jesus,
The violence of all religions to which i referred is the violence in gone by times, not now. With seeing what happening now part of the picture of religious shenanigans is that stuff in the past, and i know that only Islam is killing. The cooperation should involve all including atheists, pagans, etc.
citycat says
Your perceptions are out there man, i have no ideal except dealing with the evil on Earth now. I see Christians cooperating, Hindus cooperating, etc etc etc, but not across the religious divides much.
No fancy religious ideas in my mind. God or no god.
You have to label all as either an x or as a non-x that may become a word that is not obviously in contradiction to some inexplainable thing, eg- Atheism
keep your labels to your selves.
I am a human, living in the reality of life and life only, here, on Earth.
