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

Raymond Ibrahim: Jihadis Display ‘Power of Islam’ on Donkey Victims

Jun 10, 2014 7:48 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Very graphic videos recently appeared on Arabic-language media portraying Islamic jihadis in Syria slaughtering donkeys in order to consume them.

The main point made by some of these websites is that the jihadis are hypocrites for (again) violating Islamic law, which bans the eating of domesticated donkeys.

In the words of a fatwa, or Islamic decree, titled “Is it permissible to eat donkey meat?”

Praise be to Allaah.

It is permissible to eat the meat of onagers (“wild donkeys”) and it is haraam [forbidden] to eat the meat of domesticated donkeys. The first is permitted because of the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (5492) and Muslim (1196) from Abu Qataadah (may Allaah be pleased with him) who hunted an onager and brought a piece of it to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he ate some of it, and he said to his companions: “It is halaal [permissible], eat it.”

With regard to domesticated donkeys, their meat was permitted at first, then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) declared it to be haraam [forbidden] on the day of Khaybar.

Questions of wild or domesticated aside—and the donkeys do appear to be domesticated—this is yet another example of the fact that, for those waging jihad to empower Allah’s word, dispensations are always available.

As discussed here, it is precisely because the strictures of Islamic law are relaxed for the jihadi—often permitting the indulgence of depraved behavior—that the jihad has always been an appealing option.

While killing animals for consumption is commonplace, what is notable about these videos is the “supremacist” demeanor of the jihadis towards the donkeys—as if the animals are also “infidels” to be treated with contempt and brutality.

Watching them slaughter the donkeys is like watching them slaughter human “infidels”—with all the triumphant theatrics.

In one video, “Allahu Akbar!” is heard while a donkey is being decapitated.

Jihadis habitually cry “Allahu Akbar” (Islam’ supremacist war-cry, which literally means Allah is “greater”) whenever striking down infidels—especially when ceremoniously beheading them.

But why say it while slaughtering a donkey—an animal—for consumption?… Keep reading

    The news of mujahadeen eating ass heartens me. But with a Moslem at the table, the matter of how the digestion goes is always important.

    Delusional Muhammad claimed to hear voices telling him to recite.
    Muhammad may very well have received his these revelations while talking with a donkey.
    When the donkey debated and outsmarted Muhammad again and again and then told him to REPENT, REPENT, REPENT it too was beheaded.

    The horror of obvious animal cruelty by heartless people aside:

    “who hunted an onager and brought a piece of it to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he ate some of it, and he said to his companions: “It is halaal [permissible], eat it.””

    What a multi-talented guy, eh. An expert on proper clitoridectomy AND an all knowing food critic, too!

    How, exactly, did he come to the “halaal” conclusion? Did he get another very timely “revelation”? Or did he just make it up because he was hungry and didn’t want to turn away an offer of free food?

    I thought that Islam venerates donkeys; at least, Muhammad did.
    One day he had an interesting conversation with a donkey, discussing some very personal matters!!!

    I did not watch it because I didn’t want to be sickened. Nothing that the followers of sicko/psycho muhammad does surprises me. Islam leaves a very bad smell nomatter where its practiced.

    As for part of the titie of the this above atricle which has in it the term “Power of Islam. ” Yes the sad and tragic fact is the there really is “power in or of Islam.” This is because Islam have been deceived by it and so many people many people are under it’s control. Islam is is tyrranical system of mind control the had much power over the lives of many people around the world. With this stated it’s thus very fitting to cite the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson. For Mr. Jefferson said “I have sworn upon the alter of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of men.”

    There are plenty of hadiths forbidding animal cruelty (including the branding of animals, a google search would suffice). This kind of stuff is fine for jwatch consumption but it can easily be refuted if taken to a higher forum/debate. Raymond knows this of course, so why go the low route? Why not opt for a critical analysis of the evidence from Hadiths and Koran and make the case?

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 10, 2014 at 11:06 pm

      More sickening Muslim apologia from lebel.

      Does he deny that these pious Jihadists are abusing these poor animals in the name of Allah? Or perhaps he just doesn’t consider such brutality to be abuse?

  10. Jerry says

    Jun 10, 2014 at 7:58 pm

    I always thought that eating a donkey should be “Haraam” because Balaam’s donkey was also a Messanger of Allah, just like, if not possibly more so than Mohammed.

    …………………………………

    And screaming “Allahu Akbar” while they do it.

    I’ve always said that supremacist Islam is terribly savage to anyone they perceive as vulnerable—women, children, minorities, and, of course, animals.

    The West has a tradition of loving and caring for animals—there is no such tradition of concern for animal welfare in Islam. *Ugh*.

    A favorite Muslim bit of “fun” is running over stray dogs—and here are some Muslim children happily beating a dog to death as passersby walk on unconcerned:

    http://www.faithfreedom.org/cruelty-toward-nejis-animals-warning-contains-an-image-of-brutal-muslim-treatment-of-animals/

    And where people show such callous disregard for animals, are they apt to treat their fellow humans with respect and compassion? Of course not.

    In fact, it has long been recognized in the West that one of the most alarming red flags of sociopathic behavior is gratuitous cruelty to animals.

    God, I hate Islam.

      This killing of the donkeys reminds me of how the SS were trained. I seem to recall reading somewhere – I’m sorry, I can’t give a reference, it was a LONG time ago, probably more than 20 years ago – that a boy recruit, early in his training, would be given a dog to be a pet and companion. And after he had become deeply attached to it, he would be told to *kill* it. All part of the training…

        Islam and Fascism are very similar savageries at heart, DDA.

    My first thought is that this is one way to train newbies who have not killed before. I raise chickens and have slaughtered them before in this manner. The neck of a creature is not like warm butter, though the video makes it seem so. It takes skill to do this. Many people will not even do this to a chicken because they are squeamish. Even with chickens, it takes a while to get over the squeamishness, and you need practice to do it quickly. If it is one quickly, it minimizes the suffering.

    I am not clear on whether there is instruction in the Qur’an about it being necessary to slaughter infidels in just this manner, but it seems I recall something is mentioned about it. Maybe you mention it. I have not clicked the “Keep reading” link yet.

    Anyway, that is my guess, that they are training newbies to slaughter infidels.

    Khomeini said you have to kill an animal if you have fucked them!

    Jun 12, 2014 at 1:46 am

    I do hope everyone clicked on the link and read the whole article over at Mr Ibrahim’s blogspot.

    Toward the end of the article he discusses something that has gotten a fair bit of publicity in Australia – the *appalling* and gratuitous cruelty (outright torture) meted out to Australian livestock – sheep and cattle, and probably also goats and camels – that have been exported *live* to Islamic countries such as Indonesia and assorted Arabian hellpits.

    I *cannot* understand why our government and industry are so hellbent on continuing this trade, because it is clear as daylight to *me* that a/ no matter what promises are made by the Muslim entities buying the beasts, the cruelty will continue and b/ in inflicting such cruelty on beasts that they know have been raised by dirty Aussie infidels, they are *acting out* what they want and intend to do to US, the infidel humans who raised those beasts.

    And while on the subject of animal cruelty in the Islamic world, here’s something from John Roy Carlson’s “Cairo to Damascus”, chapter 3, “Green Shirts and Red Fezzes”, subsection “A Glimpse of Native Life” –

    “We drove to Damanhur…The nauseating odour of human urine and exdrement followed us from Cairo to Damanhur and back.
    ” I saw an elderly woman walking with a heavy steel rod balanced on her head: riding ahead of her on a donkey was her husband…
    “As we drove past a train station we saw children who had tied a scrawny dog to the tracks and were gleefully awaiting the approaching train.
    “In a land where children are beaten and abused, affection for an animal is unheard of, and savagery is the rule of life…”.

    Carlson seems to be representing this incident of a stray dog tied to railway tracks in Islamic Egypt as an instance of general cruelty to animals; he does not mention he specific – Hadith-and-Sira-sanctioned – animus toward dogs qua dogs which any Islamoinformed person will recognise.

    When I went across to Ibrahim’s website to read the whole thing, I noticed a couple of other of his recent articles.

    So I then clicked and read *those*. One was a “guest post”.

    http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/an-americans-experience-with-islamic-apostasy/
    An American’s Experience with Islamic Apostasy

    In the Comments, there were two posts that really belong with the discussion of Muslim cruelty to animals and specifically their hatred of dogs…not within the dar al Islam, but as expressed *here* in the West where Muslims have settled.

    I will cross-post them here, so that they get the wider audience they deserve.

    “Lou Hodges • 14 days ago

    “I have to share this. Please don’t remove.

    “As of this minute, my next door neighbor is throwing his things in the trunk of his car and cursing at somebody on the phone. This guy has a wife who wears a full hajib [sic: hijab].
    “**Our apt [apartment] manager told him to move out after his little boy tried to kill our dog. He picked up a big rock and yelled “dog die”.** {my emphasis – dda}.

    “My husband was able to stop him.

    “The apts are next to the Islamic School, and recently half of Saudi Arabia must have immigrated.

    “This guy is hard core Islamic, **he’s been cussing about the dogs since the day he moved in** {my emphasis – dda}.

    “Kudos to our manager for telling him to move out. The progressives would have told us to tolerate it.”

    To which another poster replied:

    QWYS Lou Hodges • 14 days ago

    “I am sorry to hear of your troubles, I am glad your husband was able to intervene.

    “Let me recount a similar experience.

    “I have a son that is career Army. Until recently he was part of one of our Special Forces groups.

    “He has a service dog, a companion that helps him cope with something he experienced while sweeping a Taliban Stronghold, involving something unspeakably evil.

    “He is now part of a regular Army unit and living off post.

    “One day he gets a call from the apartment manager that **some residents of middle eastern origin and Islamist beliefs had come to the office claiming my son’s service animal had attacked them.
    They wanted it removed from the apartments and euthanized.** {my emphasis – dda}.

    ” There was no evidence of the attacks on the security cameras at the time and location claimed, so all ended well.

    “The complex tried to force the accusers to leave the complex, but they got a lawyer through the local Islamic Association and are now dragging it through the courts.
    “I counsel you to be careful and situationally aware for the foreseeable future.”

    I wonder just how much of this sort of sh*t is being tried by the damned and damnable mohammedan mobsters everywhere that they have settled throughout the Western world, from New Zealand and southwestern Sydney all the way across to Ireland and the Americas?

    Bullying and cursing and harassing infidel next-door neighbours who have dogs, telling lies about the dogs, and very likely attempting to hurt or *kill* the dogs either openly or by underhand methods such as poison?

      A further remark.

      The same comments thread at Raymond Ibrahim’s site contained something else that I think worthy of cross-posting, because it is – I think – bang on the nail, and fully on-topic here.

      Paula Douglas Altair • 13 days ago

      “It’s less baffling if you keep in mind that **Islam is and always has been nothing more than a rationalization for sadism** {my emphasis – dda}.

      “Its adherents subordinate everything–reason, happiness, enjoyment, peace–to that.

      “Their preoccupation with submission, subjugation, dominance, cruelty, bloodshed, and death prove it.”
