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

Sinai Islamic jihadists leave note on beheaded corpse: “This is the fate of all who prove to be traitors to their homeland”

Sep 10, 2014 1:38 pm By Robert Spencer

Jihadist-Propaganda-ISIS-FilmPersistent and incorrigible in their misunderstanding of Islam, these jihadists persist in thinking that “when you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4) means “when you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks.” The fools! Have they been listening to greasy Islamophobes? I do hope that Fr. Dwight Longenecker is jetting over to the Sinai as we speak, so as to explain to these jihadis how they are misunderstanding the Qur’an.

“Islamist militants leave signed note on beheaded corpse in Sinai: residents,” by Youssri Mohammed, Reuters, September 10, 2014:

ISMAILIA Egypt (Reuters) – Residents in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula said on Wednesday they found a beheaded corpse bearing a note signed by an Islamist militant group linked to the Syria and Iraq-based Islamic State, accusing the victim of being an Israeli spy.

The beheading is the eighth claimed by the group in Sinai in under a month in a surge of brutal killings seemingly inspired by Islamic State, which has been internationally condemned for its atrocities and has been the target of U.S. air strikes.

Residents from a village south of the town of Sheikh Zuweid in northern Sinai told Reuters by phone that the decapitated body bore a note signed by Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, saying he was an agent for Israeli spy agency Mossad.

“This is the fate of all who prove to be traitors to their homeland,” the group said in the note, according to the villagers.

A senior Ansar commander told Reuters last week that Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot that controls large swathes of Syria and Iraq, had been advising the Sinai-based group on how to operate more effectively.

Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, the most powerful and ruthless militant group in Sinai, said last month it had beheaded four Egyptians for providing Israel with intelligence for an airstrike that killed three of its fighters.

The group posted a video on Twitter showing the beheadings which resembled images posted on the Internet by Islamic State.

Islamic State has caused international alarm over its rapid expansion and extremely violence, including the beheadings of two U.S. journalists and the killing and burying alive of hundreds of Iraqis from the Yazidi minority.

Egyptian intelligence officials have said Islamic State is also influencing Egyptian militants based just over the border with Libya.

DAKAHLIA ATTACK

Hardline Islamist militants have stepped up attacks on police and soldiers since the army toppled President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood last year after mass protests against his rule.

The government accuses the Muslim Brotherhood of turning to violence following Mursi’s ousting, but the movement has publicly condemned violent extremism in the past and says it remains committed to peaceful means of bringing down the government.

But with hundreds of Brotherhood members killed and thousands arrested in a crackdown now entering its second year, older members fear that the youth could turn to extremist groups that seem more effective than the silenced Brotherhood.

In the north eastern Dakahlia province, a security officer’s son was killed in an apparent attempt on the officer’s life, the state news agency reported on Wednesday.

Mahmoud Saad and his son were driving in the provincial capital of Mansoura when an unknown gunman opened fire on their vehicle, MENA reported.

Militant attacks initially targeted security forces in Sinai — a remote but strategic part of Egypt located between Israel, the Gaza Strip and the Suez Canal — but they have since extended their reach, with bombings and shootings on the mainland.

The violence has hurt tourism, a pillar of Egypt’s economy.

    Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis (also known as Ansar Jerusalem) is another poisoned fruit of Barack Obama’s destabilizing interference in the Middle East, actively promoting the Muslim Brotherhood’s vision of progress and so-called democracy (as a short-lived, self-serving vehicle to obtain power).

      “We should recognize that the Muslim Brotherhood is the ideological source for all Islamic terrorist groups around the globe. We ought to designate it the terrorist organization it is, and we should provide full backing and support for those governments across the Middle East who are standing against the Muslim Brotherhood.”

      –Former Vice President Dick Cheney, from his address to the American Enterprise Institute; today, September 10, 2014

      [Doubtlessly, that includes Egypt, and excludes Qatar.]

        Funny. I thought the Koran was the ideological source for all Islamic terrorist groups around the globe.

          You’re right, of course. The MB is a more proximate agent of Islamic militancy; they’ve done an outstanding job of packaging and marketing Quranic products. (Besides, the Qur’an itself needs the whole of the Sunna–sirat, ahadith, and juridical traditions to make sense of the thing.)

    The ISIS thugs behead people and do many other heinous and wicked things in their evil and mad mindset. Such evil and mad fiends as those members of ISIS are described in the Bible. Which teaches “The hearts of men are full of evil and their is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterwards they join the dead.” Ecclesiastes 9:3. Moreover, the men of ISIS are so very violent that the curse that is found in the Bible might be on them. For the Bible reads “May disaster hunt down men of violence.” [N.I.V.] Just wondering ? Could it be that their disaster could come in the form of missile strikes ?

      Jesus said: “he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword”, but this is no problem for the jihadis since they get their “paradise” of 72 virgins.

    It just might be that the ISIS villains with their beheading of people and other hideous actions may so wicked, warped and deluded that they actually think of the evil things they do as something that is “good.” If this is the case then the Bible strongly condemns such fiends of this wicked, warped and deluded mindset. For example the Bible in Isaiah 5:20 teaches “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” [N.I.V.]

      All of this was condemned by ancient legal codes such as that of Humarabi, going back 1800 years before Christ. We don’t need Biblical revelation to be able to condem the jihadi atrocities perpetrated by “Allah’s messenger” and his followers over 1400 years. Even atheists, who don’t accept the Bible can condemn islam and its atrocities. That is in virtue of natural law which is an expression of human reason. In the case of islam, due to numbing thought stopping methods rationality is impaired in its followers.

    accusing the victim of being an Israeli spy.

    What are the chances the guy was simply accused of being a spy by someone who wanted his job, or simply disliked the way he looked at him/her?

    But if the victim was indeed a spy isn’t the accuser guilty of slander – uncovering a secret the victim wouldn’t want to be known?

    “Sinai Islamic jihadists leave note on beheaded corpse: “This is the fate of all who prove to be traitors to their homeland” ”

    I know no one wants to hear this, but this is what’s coming to men & women in the West who are traitors to human liberty as spelled out by the U.S. Bill of Rights, those that promote, protect, hug and kiss and suck and bow to jihadists & other totalitarians.

    Lot of squeamishness out there, I can feel it.

    Massive populations of free people were protected by unspeakable violence waged d by a small contingent of men who were willing and capable of doing the job.

    Been this way for a long time people. Better steel yourself, gird up you loins a bit.

    The Infidel Savage is back.

    Thank God that IS LAM is the Religion of Peace because they have recruiting and outreach centers throughout America and the West. These are called mosques. It is curious however that Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS, and ISIL all have IS LAM in common and these terrorist groups all use verses found in the Quaran to justify their violent murderous evil jihadist and ongoing rampaging actions and crimes against humanity.
