Muslim cleric justifies Islamic State beheadings: “Islam is a religion of beheading”

Aug 25, 2014 6:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Militia fighters in Aleppo SyriaHussein bin Mahmoud invokes Qur’an 47:4: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” It would be refreshing if Barack Obama or the Archbishop of Brisbane or one of the many other non-Muslim authorities who have insisted that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam would explain how he is misunderstanding that verse. But it is doubtful that they even know that such a verse exists in the Qur’an.

“Jihadi Cleric Justifies IS Beheadings: ‘Islam Is A Religion Of Beheading,'” MEMRI, August 26, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

In a recent article, jihadi cleric Hussein bin Mahmoud, a prominent writer on jihadi forums, expressed support for the beheading of American journalist James Foley by a member of the Islamic State (IS). Bin Mahmoud wrote that beheading was an effective way to terrorize the enemies of Islam, and stressed that, under Islamic law, Foley was a harbi, i.e. a non-Muslim whose life was not protected by an agreement of protection. He argued further that Islam allows and encourages such acts, since it is a religion of war and fighting.

The following are excerpts from the article, as posted August 21, 2014 on the Shumoukh Al-Islam forum.

“All Scholars… Agree On The Permissibility Of Killing A Harbi Infidel”

“I don’t know what to say. My mind is perplexed by words I have read and heard from people whom I do not know how to describe!! Millions of Muslims have been killed, tortured and driven from their homes; tens of thousands of Muslim women have had their honor violated and have been sexually abused by the Americans – yet people are weeping over a Christian American harbi infidel who entered the Islamic State, knowing full well what the Islamic State is, and without a pact [of protection]. Were the soldiers of the Islamic State supposed to pat this American harbi on the back and smile at him? All scholars, without exception, agree on the permissibility of killing a harbi infidel, and agree that his blood and property are fair game. Most of them [also] agree on the permissibility of killing him if he is taken prisoner. So where does this condemnation of the IS come from?… Let it be known to all people that when a harbi enters the land of Islam without a legal pact [of protection], his property, life and progeny are fair game.

“Many Muslims are influenced by the West’s false views and its repulsive ideas, which are exported to the Islamic nation in order to weaken it and change the perception of its youth so that [the youth] become cowardly and subdued and abandon the means of power and terror, and thus create a generation that does not know fighting or the cutting of necks. Recently we saw some who are considered scholars mixing things up and deceiving the nation, changing the concepts of Islamic law to fit the plans of the enemies. We don’t know if they did this out of ignorance about some of the tenets of Islamic law, or were [simply] lying…”

“Beheading A Harbi Infidel Is A Blessed Act For Which A Muslim Is Rewarded”

“Chopping off the heads of infidels is an act whose permissibility the [Muslim] ummah agrees on. Beheading a harbi infidel is a blessed act for which a Muslim is rewarded. The [only] matter scholars disagree about is the question of transferring the head from one place to another, traveling with it and carrying it around…”

Bin Mahmoud: Jews, Christians, Shi’ites And ‘Alawites Who Committed Crimes Against The Muslims Must Be Beheaded

After clarifying that he is opposed to killing Muslims, bin Mahmoud continues: “As for beheading infidel Jews, Christians and ‘Alawites, as well as apostate Shi’ites, who commit crimes against the Muslims, they must be terrorized, filled with fear and beheaded without any respect. Cutting off heads is part of the tradition of the [Prophet’s] Companions. In the Koran Allah ordered to smite the infidels’ necks and encouraged the Muslims to do this. He said [in Koran 47:4], ‘When you meet those who disbelieve on the battlefield, smite at their necks until you have killed and wounded many of them…

“How many hadiths [relayed by] the Prophet’s Companions have we read in which they demanded that he strike the necks of certain men, and the Prophet did not condemn the striking of necks… Striking necks was a well-known matter that did not elicit any condemnation in the eras of the Prophet, the rightly-guided caliphs and their successors,  right until the time of the Christian occupation of the Muslims’ lands in the [20th] century. Those crusaders fought the Islamic legal concepts, distorted the religion, and convinced the Muslims that their religion is a religion of peace, doves, love and harmony, and that there is no blood in it, no killing and no fighting. The Muslims remained in this state until Allah revived the tradition of beheading by means of the mujahid and slaughterer Abu Mus’ab Al-Zarqawi, may Allah have mercy upon him and accept him as a martyr.”

“Islam Is A Religion Of Bloodshed”

Bin Mahmoud goes on to quote a long list of texts which, according to him, prove that Islam condones beheading as a means of terrorizing the enemy, and then emphasizes once more that Islam is not a peaceful religion, since its essence is jihad and martyrdom. He concludes that “Islam is a religion of beheading”:

“The truth is that what distorts the image of Islam is not the beheading and terrorizing of infidels, but rather those who want [Islam to follow the path of] Mandela or Ghandi, with no killing, fighting, brutality, bloodshed or the striking of heads or necks. That is not the religion of [the Prophet] Muhammad son of ‘Abdallah who was sent [to fight] with the sword [until]   Judgment Day. The only Koranic surah that is named after him, Surah Muhammad, is [also] called ‘The Surah of Fighting’…

“Islam is a religion of power, fighting, jihad, beheading and bloodshed, not a religion of turning the left cheek to whoever slapped you on the right cheek. On the contrary, it is a religion of breaking the hand that is stretched out to humiliate the Muslim. [Any Muslim] who fights for his property, blood or honor is a martyr.

“In Islam, tourism [means] jihad for the sake of Allah… There is no true life for its believers except through jihad, [and] the goal of its fighters is to die for the sake of their religion…”

      Just like you, squeezie, to get things ass-backwards. Fitting though since Islam gets so many things ass-backwards, including what is good and what is evil.

      Well, what can you expect from anyone who believes that a seventh-century Arab merchant who was delusional, and a psychopath and pedophile to boot, was chosen by some cosmic deity to establish the world’s one true religion?

      Believe the rot about Mohammed (and Allah) and one is able to believe any garbage. You could be Exhibit #1 here, squeezie. Care to apply for this status?

      Get lost, rube. You persuade no one here at JW of Islam’s worth. In fact, quite the opposite. In your own stupid way, you just insure more antipathy towards Islam. So, on second thought, keep posting at JW. Yes, by all means, do so. Now don’t fail us, those of us who know that freedom and Islam are inveterate enemies, OK? Post away, rube. Oh yeah, post a lot here at JW. You know, in your own special way, a la Casablanca, you constitute an entire second front against Islamic supremacism. Congratulations.

        The main thing and the strongest thing working against Islam’s aim of conquest is the hedonistic tendency. In other words most people like to enjoy themselves. Islam is a religion (not the only one but the most egregious) that does not want people to enjoy life. Witness, Ayatollah Khomeini’s description of Islam.

      The vile “squeezethejuice” (“squeeze the Jews”) wrote:

      ………………………………

      And what does this pious Muslim consider “evil”?

      *Any* “Harbi Infidel”—that is, any non-Muslim not under Muslim oppression.

      So it is a “blessed act” to behead a journalist—or a businessman—or just a child.

      And so this devout Muslim shows how monstrous his creed really is.

      ISIS Muslims are raping and hanging children
      in honor of a cross-dressing pedophile false prophet.

      Yet Muslims claim fear that non-Muslims are trying to humiliate Muslims.

      Muslims bring about their own humiliation just by saying they are Muslim.

    Addressing any new poster or lurker.

    The poster calling itself “squeezethejuice”, above, is a mohammedan. It is therefore, we must assume, fully on board with the mohammedan definition of “evil” which includes, for example, such heinous sins as keeping a pet dog, drinking a glass of wine, eating a pork sausage, walking down the street in unislamic dress (if female), displaying a cross, ringing church bells, painting a picture of a human face, and playing flutes and strings.

    To understand the whining mohammedan dementor, here are three articles that will help you to understand Mohammedan malignant narcissism and rampant megalomania, and why mohammedan expressions of grievance should be met with indifference.

    Here’s the first one:

    http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2011/11/dangers-of-legitimizing-islamic.html
    Sunday, November 13, 2011
    The Dangers of Legitimizing Muslim Grievances

    “…Grievance is the stories [usually false , by the way – dda] that Muslims tell themselves to justify their violence.
    To explain why they kill children and why they murder the innocent.
    The list of grievances is an endless as the violence.
    Every act of violence carries its own narrative.
    The endless Muslim conflicts throughout the world all carry their burden of history.
    But it isn’t a history that can be resolved with a tolerance session.
    Muslim grievances are the frustration of conquerors, the broken teeth of predators who weren’t allowed to feed on the world until their stomachs burst….

    “The fundamental Muslim grievance is that they are not in power, not just in Israel where the world has accepted their demand to be in power as a wholly moral and legitimate demand, or throughout the Muslim world where Western governments have helped bring the Islamists to power with bombs and political pressure. The fundamental grievance is that they are not in power… everywhere….

    “Historical Islam was a brutal conquering ideology that fed off blood and human misery.

    “No amount of revisionist history will make that go away and the revisionist history is a disgusting insult to the millions killed and the cultures wiped out for the greater glory of Islam.

    “A religion that has never stopped practicing genocide, slavery and repression as religious mandates is the worst positioned to act out the charade of innocence, to pretend that everything was fine until the Ottoman Empire fell and the British and French colonialists replaced the Muslim colonialists and gave the local [non-Muslim – dda] minorities civil rights instead of a spiked boot in the face…”.

    Second: a thundering broadside from the late Christopher Hitchens, written one day after mohammedans blew up buses and trains in London:

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2005/07/08/we-cannot-surrender-115875-15713152/

    WE CANNOT SURRENDER

    “…We know very well what the “grievances” of the jihadists are [and, for that matter, of every other whining squealing mohammedan making excuses for the inexcusable – dda]

    “The grievance of seeing unveiled women. The grievance of the existence, not of the State of Israel, but of the Jewish people. The grievance of the heresy of democracy, which impedes the imposition of sharia law. The grievance of a work of fiction written by an Indian living in London. The grievance of the existence of black African Muslim farmers, who won’t abandon lands in Darfur. The grievance of the existence of homosexuals.

    “The grievance of music, and of most representational art. The grievance of the existence of Hinduism. The grievance of [majority Christian – dda] East Timor’s liberation from [majority-Muslim – dda] Indonesian rule.

    “All of these have been proclaimed as a licence to kill infidels or apostates, or anyone who just gets in the way.”

    “It is a big mistake to believe this is an assault on “our” values or “our” way of life. It is, rather, an assault on all civilisation..”
    (and indeed, on all non-Muslim *humanity* as such – dda).

    And an ex-Muslim, Abul Kasem, from Bengal, discussing what Muslims actually mean when they squeal that Islam is “oppressed”.

      Ever read Serge Trifkovic’s “The Sword of the Prophet”? There’s also Andrew Bostom’s encyclopaedic compilation, “The Legacy of Jihad”. And – though I haven’t read that particular one – Fregosi’s “Jihad in the West”.

      If you read those, and if you read the accounts of the genocide of the Armenians in the late 19th and early 20th century (e.g Vahakn Dadrian’s accounts) you will see that what ISIS is doing is nothing new at all. Nor for that matter is it any different from what the Muslims in Sudan did to the Christians of the south, in the 1990s and earlier. Or from what the Turkish Muslms did to the Bulgarian Christians in the early-mid 19th century.

      I don’t think there has, in fact, been any time in the past 1400 years of the history of Islam, that some part of the Ummah, somewhere, has *not* been doing to non-Muslims – whether on the small or the large scale – the sorts of horrors that ISIS is meting out to the Christians and Yazidis of Iraq.

      So if you want to see this latest outburst of Quran-Sira-Hadith-emulating atrocities in Iraq as a sign of the “beginning of the Tribulation”.. why does the Genocide of the Armenian (and Assyrian, and Greek) Christians in Turkey – which was **worse** – qualify as such a sign, in your eyes? If it did you’d have to argue that the Tribulation began in the 1890s and has been going on for 110 years and counting.

      Very good points. And, of course you’re right that historically Dar al-Islam has consistently waged jihad against Dar al-Harb. But the devil is in the details, as they say.

      [Quick caveat, btw: in the penultimate phrase of your reply, there should be a “not” before “qualify”, correct? I’ll assume so, because that is what would make the most sense in context]. And btw the Thomistic thing below is done merely tongue-in-cheek, not as sarcasm. Just some fun on a Sunday afternoon.

      On the contrary, I would maintain that the instances of jihad cited by you do not qualify as the beginning of the Tribulation and the reasons shall be made clear in my answer and in my replies to each objection below.

      I answer that, following numerous passages of the Old Testament, to include: Ezekiel 25 and 36-38, Joel 3, Zechariah 10 and 12, Isaiah 12 and 30, Psalms 80-83, Micah 5, and short passages in both Amos and Daniel, to qualify as “the beginning of the Tribulation”, the jihad in question must take place *after* the re-establishment of the state of Israel [destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE] *and* must take place *after* the re-establishment of the Islamic Caliphate [formally dismantled in 1924 after the Ottoman defeat in World War I] *and* must take place in the region from which, biblically, the Antichrist shall arise.

      [At least those are the three premises from which I shall argue. Of course, you are fully within your rights to disagree with any or all of these three premises. But that is another discussion indeed].

      Reply to Objection 1. While the Armenian Genocide certainly qualifies as equally or even more atrocious than the ISIS jihad of today and while it certainly took place within the region from which, biblically, the Antichrist shall arise, unfortunately it also took place *before* the re-establishment of the Islamic Caliphate destroyed in 1924 and *before* the re-establishment of the state of Israel destroyed in 70 CE. And, as such, cannot qualify as the beginning of the Tribulation spoken of in Revelation.

      Reply to Objection 2. [Same reply as to Objection 1] regarding your query about “what the Turkish Muslms did to the Bulgarian Christians in the early-mid 19th century”. All *before* the two key re-establishments.

      Reply to Objection 3. While “…what the Muslims in Sudan did to the Christians of the south, in the 1990s and earlier…” certainly qualifies as genocidal jihad and while it certainly took place *after* the re-establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, unfortunately it also took place *before* the re-establishment of the Islamic Caliphate [I am using the re-establishment ostensibly effected by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the Islamic State in June of this year. I do understand that this re-establishment may indeed be short-lived and therefore *not* the true re-establishment referred to as the “revived” Beast in Revelation].

      Furthermore, this jihad took place in Sudan. And, while Sudan certainly is an “Antichrist Nation” (one of the numerous nations scripture says Christ will wage war against in the Last Days) it is also almost certainly *outside* that region from which the Bible says Antichrist shall arise. Sudan is wholly within the continent of Africa and *not* close enough to the broad region of Turkey-Iraq-Jordan-Syria-Lebanon that seems to be indicated biblically as the region from which shall arise Antichrist. For these two reasons, I would maintain that the Jihad in Sudan to which you refer, while atrocious, does not qualify as the beginning of the Tribulation.

    The ‘Gateway to Jihad’ is along an open stretch of rugged Turkish border.
    Estimated 20 foreign recruits use it to cross into Syria and Iraq every day.
    There, border guards turn a blind eye for as little as 10 US dollars.
    Number of UK recruits has increased since creation of the ‘Jihad Express.’
    Up to 1,000 Britons and UK residents have now joined the extremists.

          It is alleged, some deny, that Hitler used the Turkish genocide of the Armenians and others as a green light for his genocides. No doubt the Muslim Brohood and various Muslims allied with Hitler in WWII.

    So, should this guy give a call to Mark Coleridge in Brisbane and let him know it really is islam? He could tell him that he really doesn’t like all the lies about what islam doesn’t do and maybe enlighten the cleric in Brisbane about the true nature of the ones committing barbarity.

    On another note, Jesus said, although the Scripture quoted by Jon above about beheading also came from Him, that *an unnumbered great crowd will come out of the great tribulation…*(Rev.7:9) alive. The beast will be stopped before they reach their awful goal.

      @ somehistory – you quoted from Revelation Chapter 7
      – that is at/near the beginning of “the time of Jacob’s trouble” – “the day of the LORD” – the “great tribulation”

      How many that will die/be killed during that 3.5 year “great tribulation” such as the world has never known before – or ever will again – is over 1/2 of the world’s population – [Biblically Saved folks, and un-believers] – which ends at
      Revelation Chapter 19.

    Muslim cleric justifies Islamic State beheadings: “Islam is a religion of beheading”
    ………………………………….

    Truer words were never spoken.

    God, I hate Islam.

    More:

    Bin Mahmoud wrote that beheading was an effective way to terrorize the enemies of Islam, and stressed that, under Islamic law, Foley was a harbi, i.e. a non-Muslim whose life was not protected by an agreement of protection…

    “All Scholars… Agree On The Permissibility Of Killing A Harbi Infidel”

    “Beheading A Harbi Infidel Is A Blessed Act For Which A Muslim Is Rewarded”
    ………………………………….

    See—nothing here about this being “in revenge” for US bombing. James Foley was a non-dhimmi Infidel—one who had not been humiliated into paying the Jizya and bowing to Muslim supremacism, and *that was enough* for him to be beheaded.

    And beheading such an innocent non-combatant is not only “permissible”, but is a “blessed act” for which a Muslim “is rewarded”—presumably with those 72 virgins in paradise.

    So slaughtering such innocent victims is *sacralized* in Islam.

    Have I mentioned how much I hate that foul creed?

    How about the hundreds of thousands of mahometanesses have been subjected to rape, domestic abuse, and FGM in the name of mahometanism?

      Not likely. Sounds an awful lot like classic “projection” to me.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Finally some truth from a muslim cleric …

    True, it is a “religion of beheading” ..along with being a religion of many *other* countless horrors! Yeah islam is wholly evil and so are its adherents. The world would be a much more peaceful place without it, I surmise.

    Concept of terror.

    “Bin Mahmoud goes on to quote a long list of texts which, according to him, prove that Islam condones beheading as a means of terrorizing the enemy, and then emphasizes once more that Islam is not a peaceful religion, since its essence is jihad and martyrdom. He concludes that “Islam is a religion of beheading””

    Here are two good books for President Obama and Archbishop of Brisbane, Mark Coleridge to read:

    They are way before Robert Spencer’s time (of his books) but are still relevant today

    http://counterjihadreport.com/jihadist-ideology-the-core-texts/

    Good summary here of :

    Brigadier S.K. Malik, The Quranic Concept of Power (1979)

    Additionally its significance lies in its advocacy of terror as a weapon willed by Allah. Malik is very clear on this: the center of gravity is the soul of our infidel enemy. It is the enemy’s faith, and the best tool ordained by Allah to destroy our enemy’s soul is terror.

    So we have a serving General in the Pakistani Army telling us that 9/11 is the way to wage war. War today is not to be understood in terms of western strategic concepts such as Land Air battle. It is not Fire and Maneuver, or nuclear deterrence. It is 9/11. It is terror.

    According to Malik, striking terror in the soul of the enemy is the most effective divinely ordained weapon they have to use against their enemies. Destroying the faith of the enemy is the object of war, according to Malik, and Jihad is the tool.

    To illustrate his point, Malik described numerous battles that Mohammed engaged in, along with other conflicts in the history of Islam.

    and here is another good book-read the whole thing here.(1994)

    JIHÃD THE ISLAMIC DOCTRINE OF PERMANENT WAR

    by Suhas Majumdar

    “In the present study, Professor Suhas Majumdar has seen through this scholarship, and demolished it brick by brick.

    He has rescued the doctrine of jihãd from under the mass of pretentious verbiage, and made it stand in its pristine purity.

    Let no one say any more that jihãd does not mean what it has meant all along in the blood-soaked history of Islam, and what we are witnessing today in Kashmir.”

    Holy Sonnets: Death, be not proud
    BY JOHN DONNE

    Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
    Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
    For those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow
    Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
    From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
    Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
    And soonest our best men with thee do go,
    Rest of their bones, and soul’s delivery.
    Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
    And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
    And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
    And better than thy stroke; why swell’st thou then?
    One short sleep past, we wake eternally
    And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

    Now let’s see. Is there any humiliation to the Muslim more than following a “prophet” who used to wear women’s clothing?
    It’s in your books, dear Hussein!!!

    For those with the Nazi comparisons: The Fallbeil (German guillotine) was the ‘normal’ method of execution prior to the Nazi period, and was last used in 1946. As with the guillotine, it was used because it was quick and therefore assumed to be humane. Hitler’s special enemies were ‘rewarded’ with special deaths, one of which was hanging by piano wire. That was slow, painful, and a far better comparison with the Islamic method of beheading.

    As sad as the Foley death is I think the focus on this is detracting from the slaughter of children by ISIS. Why is the MSM not informing the populations of the West that very young children are being hanged and buried alive? Why is there no reporting of the beheading of young children and infants being taken way from their parents? Why is there hardly any discussion of these matters even on this site? Foley was an adult who made a rational decision to go the these places and report; he was also a liberal who supported Islamic terrorists. The levels of barbarity against very young children has left deep psychological scars in my life and I am finding it very hard to cope with daily normal functions like work.

    • Gardener says

      Aug 27, 2014 at 2:41 am

      Maybe because those stories are generally not true. Where is the evidence of children being hanged and beheaded by the Islamic State? The couple of images I’ve seen purportedly showing beheaded children by the IS are actually of children beheaded in bombings by the Syrian Armed Forces.

      The reality is that not every horror story about the Islamic State is actually true. And these stories about children being targeted for killing come from sources that are seeking to drum up support for more military action against the Islamic State. For example, there is no evidence to support the story of Christian children being beheaded in Mosul with their heads then put on stakes. There is no doubt there would be many photos and videos of such a public atrocity if it actually happened.

      The modus operandi of the IS is to give their enemy (i.e. the non-Muslims) the options to convert, flee, or be killed. In the case of Christians, there is also the option of jizya, but it is unclear whether the IS has actually honored its part of the dhimma pact especially in Mosul. They were honoring the pact in Raqqa from what I remember, but whether that continued, I don’t know. In any case, after the IS-imposed deadline for the choice has passed, the IS moves in. Men are rounded up, and if they are not converting to Islam, they are killed. Although some clerics consider killing of any prisoners of war unlawful under Islamic law, it is not a view shared by all. Muhammad’s actions were inconsistent on this count. Female and child captives, on the other hand, cannot be killed under Islamic law. Once they are taken captive and under IS control, they can be used as slaves (or ransomed or freed), and that is presumably what happens. As for what specifically happens to the children, one would expect that some children stay with their mothers, but it is also likely some children are separated from their mothers and taken to IS indoctrination camps and schools.

      I find the stories about children being beheaded unlikely, and such killing carried out systematically would be very unlikely indeed. Everything is possible, of course, but given that there is evidence for most of the atrocities attributed to the Islamic State, it is somewhat suspicious that there is no evidence at all about the beheading of children. Considering that such acts would be a flagrant transgression of Islamic law, accepting the stories at face value without proof is illogical.

      • Matthew Roberts says

        Aug 27, 2014 at 9:25 am

        Gardener thanks for your reply. I sincerely hope that what you have said is correct. However I have seen many photos of young children being hanged and buried alive on facebook and I have listened to news reports that have also confirmed that children are targets of IS. Of course this could be propaganda but reports do seem to be consistently saying the same things.

        Your description of the modus operation of muslims is correct; however in the course of war savagery can overcome religious injunctions as these barbarians satisfy their bloodlust. However your point about accepting everything at face value is mistaken I believe as there is just too much consistent reporting being leaked to suggest none of this has any basis in reality.

    Well well. Finally we have found an honest Muslim cleric. A leader who voices the truth about his political religion. A man who believes the deadly works of violence in Islam will win his hot seat next to his god of the underworld. Got to love this guy. No taqiyya wording here. 😉 Read the verses. http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm

    • dlbrand says

      Aug 27, 2014 at 4:30 pm

      Actually, Lanny, for years we’ve had numerous high-profile Muslims telling us in clear terms just precisely what their din demands of them, thus, just precisely what actions we ought to expect from them.

      The problem is we also have the Muslims that lie and are willing to tell those who want to believe Islam is just the Arabic version of Christianity or Judaism just what that group wants to hear. They (“that group”) are comforted being reassured that, basically, all the “Sacred texts” on Islam are nonexistent. The examples therein, the commands therein, the precepts established and buttressed therein, simply not there. Real only in the minds of those suffering from the Islamiphobia.

      So the Muslims, noting that, accommodate—tell the hoping-for-“nice-Islam” fools that that they want to hear.

      In short, it is as if we called a good Muslim to the courtroom to swear to tell the truth, nothing but the truth, and the truth only, and he swore accordingly.

      Then, “we” ask him, why have you done this terrible act (whatever act of jihad he is charged with)?

      The good Muslim, answers, “I was only practicing my religion.” He/she tell us, he was only obeying Allah, thus following and adhering to the traditions of his prophet. Hence his actions.

      Answering to that, the fools among us argue, “No you were not! Your actions have nothing to do with Islam! ”

      The fools argue, “Islam is a noble, peaceful, proud-worthy religion. Your Prophet an exemplary man. Muslims, thus, nice, noble, proud-worthy people, deserving of not only our open arms, schools, cities, nations, and seats of power, but worthy of prominence in all those and more. But you, you twisted extremist, you are none of those…!”

      The good Muslim counters, “I am, I am proud good Muslim! Look! Right here, I can show you, ‘Allah said …the Messenger of Allah (did it, said it, praised it)!'”

      Our fools answer, in chorus, “No they did not!!!”

      The good jihadi Muslim counters, “They did said it!!! Right here, and there, and here, and there, I can show you!” Our fools choir shouts back, “You can’t show us anything, you demented extremist, twisting and perverting one of the great religions of Abraham.”

      The good Muslim answers, “No, I’m not extremist! Just good proud Muslim, ‘ cause Allah said it …! The Prophet, may Allah bless and grant him peace, did it!!!”

      And while he, arguing all the while, is jerked from the witness stand, dragged to, then through the backdoor of the courtroom, down the hallway and on out of the building, hurled from it out onto the sidewalk, we hear his pleas.

      “But Allah,” he argues, “said ‘Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them!’ So I did it! The Prophet, may Allah bless and grant him peace, said, ‘By the One who has my life in His hand, I will go out [to fight jihad], even alone!’ So I went out and did my jihad, even if alone!” [4:84, Tafsir al-Jalalayn].

      “Allah,” he argues, “ the Knower, and the knower of the builders of the mosque of opposition, and of the intentions of those to whom the building (house of worship) belongs, He is wise, very wise, and He ordained the destruction and burning of that mosque. The Prophet gave us examples of such destruction; so I burned down the church and the synagogue!” (Tafsir ibn Abbas, 9:110)

      “The Prophet,” he cries, “may Allah bless and grant him peace, said, Allah said,
      ‘ I will cast terror [(extreme fear)] into the hearts of those who disbelieve, so strike their necks [(behead them)] and strike all their finger joints, [cutting off their fingers and toes!]’ So I beheaded them, as many of the disbelievers that I could; I cut off their fingers and their toes, according to Allah’s command!” (8:12, Tafsir al-Jalalayn.)

      “We” clean our hands from that mess, smug, of such “nonsense” we’ll have no part.
