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

Islamic State: “We cut off your friend’s head. Now we’re coming for your head”

Oct 3, 2014 8:14 pm By Robert Spencer

Mideast Iraq Behind Militant Lines“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4). And then taunt their friends about it. In this the Islamic State is clearly un-Islamic, for Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, didn’t taunt the friends of those he had killed; rather, he taunted the corpses of the dead: “When the prophet ordered that the corpses of the polytheists be dropped in to a well… He stood over the bodies of twenty-four leaders of Quraish, who had been thrown into one of the wells and started to call them by name and by the names of their fathers…” (Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum, The Battle of Badr, p. 271)

“Islamic State backs up force in Syria with threats, taunting calls,” by Ayla Jean Yackley and Jonny Hogg, Reuters, October 3, 2014:

YUMURTALIK Turkey (Reuters) – Khaled Baki phones the number of a fellow Kurdish fighter and gets through to the Islamic State militants who say they beheaded her.

Baki’s friend, one of the Kurdish forces’ many female soldiers, disappeared as she fought to try and stop the Islamist militants’ push on Kobani, a predominantly Kurdish settlement in northern Syria close to the Turkish border.

More than 180,000 people have fled ahead of Islamic State’s advance, alarmed by accounts of the jihadists’ ruthless tactics – reports that have been fuelled by taunting phone messages from the militants themselves describing gruesome deaths meted out to Kurdish comrades and loved ones.

“We call her, someone else answers and says, ‘We cut off your friend’s head. Now we’re coming for your head,'” Baki said at Yumurtalik, just over the border from Kobani in Turkey.

“She was just 21 years old, and they cut off her head,” added Baki, a builder before he became a fighter. On Friday he called the Islamists back and spat insults down the line.

The Islamist fighters have pressed on in the face of U.S. air strikes on their positions. Kurdish fighters warned on Friday they now faced a massacre as the insurgents encircled Kobani with tanks and bombarded its outskirts with artillery fire.

Other Kurdish fighters have had calls from IS fighters vowing to take the town within days, using the mobile connections as a kind of psychological warfare. One said he was told: “We will be praying in your mosques by Eid,” an Islamic festival which starts on Saturday….

    Christians are considered to be polytheists because of belief in the Trinity.

      Yep. That is what moslems believe. Prepare to be killed and dropped down a well and you and your father cursed when ISIS comes to your town.

      It’s true that most Christians believe in a Trinity, but some do not. Some believe in one God in 3 different roles, instead of 3 persons in one God.

      Then there are Christians such as Jehovah’s Witnesses, who are similar to Muslims in that they believe that Jesus was a prophet, but not God.

      • mortimer says

        Jews are also considered ‘polytheists’ because Mohammed said they believed Ezra was the son of Allah.

        The statement about Ezra is an obvious error in the Koran which proves the Koran was of purely human origin. No Jew could possibly recognize Ezra as divine and none have! It’s a question where Mohammed got such a wildly inaccurate idea! Mostly likely, some Jewish informant was pulling Mohammed’s leg! And he fell for it!

        Moreover, Mohammed’s version of the Trinity (including Mary) was also an obvious error, proving the Koran to be false.

        Because the Koran is Allah’s exact words, we see that it fails miserably as a perfect book. Since much of the Koran can be shown to be in error, therefore it’s not divine.

        The beheading verses in the Koran must be suspected as spurious revelation along with the entire Koran.

        If the Koran is so doubtful, Muslims have strong reasons not to follow it, especially when it commands extreme punishments. Why would you trust a road map that places ‘Chicago’ in Texas (for instance).

        • bernie says

          Oct 4, 2014 at 3:14 am

          Please forgive my ignorance, but who was Ezra?

          Another thing to consider: Islam (including extremists like ISIS) claims to revere Jesus, Abraham, Moses, etc. Jesus clearly said that the greatest commandment was to love others as oneself, he repudiated aggressive violence, and he never spoke of forcing people to believe in him (quite the opposite, actually; he said that God would judge people’s souls in the hereafter).

          Also, Moses likewise said that one must one one’s neighbor as oneself. The ancient Israelites had the death penalty for crimes such as kidnapping, murder or rape; the Torah does have an apochryphal (spelling?) story about the Israelites carrying out a genocide against the Canaanites, but this goes against the spirit of most other paasages in the Torah.

          …must LOVE one’s neighbor as oneself (sorry, typo).

          Ezra was a scribe of Judah at the time of the return from exile after the Babylonians had destroyed the temple at Jerusalem and taken the Jews captive.

        Oct 4, 2014 at 5:03 pm

        This is simply not true. Are you saying that belief in man-made doctrine is what marks one as a Christian?

        In about A.D. 180, Irenaeus first wrote about the Trinity.
        It was a dispute over the nature of Christ that led the Roman emperor Constantine to convene the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325.

        By the way, Christ was not born on December 25, but if you were a sun-worshiper, you might wish he was.

        Bernie, it is obvious that you don’t read or understand the Bible.
        God uses plural pronouns in speaking of Himself. Read Gen. 1:26; or Gen. 11:7.
        Or we read that the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit are all clearly designated as Divine Beings and as clearly distinguished from one another, read Matt. 3:16, 17; 28:19, 2 Cor. 13:14 .
        We must remember that God is Spirit, and numbers belong primarily to the physical world. God is infinite and we are finite. He dwells in the light no man can approach unto. Our attempts at a philosophical explanation of the Trinity of God is an attempt to put facts of infinite being into the forms of finite thought. At what sense can He be one in three? There is one God but this one God makes Himself known to man as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
        You either believe the Bible or join islam and the phony prophet or the Watch Tower corporation which is now called the J.W. who do not believe that Jesus the Son of God is a Divine figure but only just a perfect man. They could be muslims too…pray always For God’s answers.

    More likely they kept the 21 year old girl alive and are rapin her to death. Then they will behead her. Then rape her some more. Didn’t the Prophet Mohammad(pbuh) sleep with his dead aunt in da GRAVE?

    HELLO TO KEITH ELLISON AND ANDRE CARSON — We here at JW know you read Mr. Spencer’s posts — don’t try to hide.

    Taking an oath when sworn as congresspersons, WILL YOU EVER HAVE THE COURAGE to denounce Islam’s pathology ?

    Denial of reality is easy, but eventually, as ISIS continues, your attempt at hiding from its slaughter will be transparent — as avoidance.

    By NOT ADMITTING a rather minor forgivable error in the assortment of human shortcomings (choosing the wrong “faith”) you give us a clue to fundamental mindset : establishing Islam over democracy, even if that leads to sedition against the United States.

      Freedom of religion has its limits. The white supremacist Matt Hale, leader of the World Church of the Creator, is currently in prison because he incited murder attempts against a judge. His religion may tell him that it’s ok to do that, or to encourage the murder of blacks, Jews, Arabs, Orientals etc., but it’s still unlawful to do so.

      Most KKK members claim to be Christian, but crimes of violence on their part (including threats and incitement to violence) are not tolerated. Why is such a big exception made for extremist Muslims in the U.S.?

      • Salah says

        Oct 3, 2014 at 9:31 pm

        ” Why is such a big exception made for extremist Muslims in the U.S.?”

        Because they are ruling the country, the Muslim Brotherhood are the true masters of the White House.

          Salah, you are being a tad paranoid (please don’t take offence) but I understand why. ‘Tradewinds’ is closer to the mark with his comment on insane political correctness.

        “Freedom of religion has its limits.”

        That is correct. The first amendment’s establishment clause does not mean that religious beliefs trump U.S. criminal law.

        Carrying out Allah’s commands to commit barbaric acts is illegal here.

        • bernie says

          Oct 4, 2014 at 4:26 am

          True, but what about extremist imams who spread hatred and prejudice against non-Muslims, and thus inspire terrorism and violence? I suppose one could argue that, unless they issue direct threats, then they have the right to free speech. It’s imperative to expose and discredit them however.

    this post is a reply to Bernie.

    Jehovah’s Witnesses do not believe in the trinity, this is correct.
    One precision I would like to make : we see Jesus Christ as the son of God, our saviour, whose status is higher than that of other important biblical figures such as Moses and Isaiah. These prophets didn’t give up their life for the salvation of mankind.

      The Saudis have plenty of money, and they are willing to spend it on jihad. They have the money largely because of the Rockefellers and their success in thwarting development of other sources of energy. Add to that, the Rockefeller family striving for the League of Nations; Federal Reserve System; United Nations; taking us off the gold standard and replacing it with the petrodollar (it is a wonder John D. didn’t get his image on one); opening trade with a nation that shortly before we were taught to believe was our greatest enemy, China, again, through Nixon; and shipping our manufacturing base to that Communist country, China, again through Nixon and, one way or another, every other president since then. Of course, the Rockefellers have had much help, and they have been promoting other programs destructive of the spirit of our once great nation, but there are many outstanding writers covering that history. Start with Ida Tarbell.
