Islamic State crucifies senior member who was accused of embezzling funds and theft

Nov 17, 2014 9:49 am By Robert Spencer

crucifixion2He must have been accused of more than just theft, the penalty for which in Sharia is amputation of the hand (Qur’an 5:38). Or perhaps the scale of his thefts and embezzlement made it eligible to be considered as spreading corruption in the land — and one of the Qur’anic penalties for that is crucifixion.

“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment” (Qur’an 5:33)

“Islamic State militants behead senior member for theft: Monitor,” AFP, November 15, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):

BEIRUT (AFP) – The Islamic State (IS) extremist group has executed a senior member who was accused of embezzling funds and theft, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said on Friday.

“The Islamic State executed a senior leader in the group of Syrian nationality, beheading him and hanging his body on a cross” in eastern Deir Ezzor province, it said.

The man was accused of “taking money from Muslims… and embezzling Islamic State funds”, the Britain-based monitor added.

    jizya tax proceeds

    How ironic for Muslims to get upset about theft.
    For 1400 years the slave-trade religion of Islam has been extorting money through the jizya tax.
    But of course, the jizya tax is not just about money; it is also about subjugating non-Muslims as if to imply that Islam is a superior religion (another irony) even though religion is supposed to have morals.

      Your halal meat purchases support ISIS terrorism.

        Mortimer,
        Since I am familiar with your fine analysis of Islam, I will assume you meant:
        “One’s halal meat purchases support ISIS terrorism.”
        Some new commenters might misinterpret and overthink that use of the word “Your” colloquially and assume you were speaking personally.

        Another jizya tax for sure, In addition I am especially careful when buying clothes.
        It seems as if Muslims and coexist liberals have infiltrated the positions in purchasing at major clothing stores and are cramming shelves from Islamic countries.

      It’s not necessarily true that the “Islamic State funds” were from jizyah proceeds, alone. And are any Christians or Jews paying jizyah to that Islamic state? Probably not, even if it is true that the Islamic State is robbing them blind, for jizyah is a dhimmitude tax.

      However, some of the funds could be from zakat, about which the CIOCG has many helpful things to say. For example,…

      The establishment of the institution of Zakat is a function of an Islamic State.

      p. ii
      The Institution of Zakat
      http://www.zakatchicago.org/ZakatBook.pdf

      It’s by the way that…

      In compiling this booklet care has been taken to deduce
      rulings directly from the Qur’an and Sunnah. While respecting the
      differences of opinion among various Muslim jurists (Fuqaha), the
      valid opinions that are more appropriate to the present situation in
      North America have been chosen to answer the frequently asked
      questions. Other significant opinions have also been presented for
      reference.

      One wonders on what basis they can condemn theft when the “perfect model of human conduct” dedicated himself to banditry and in general stealing from the caravans of others. Its the double morality they have. Islam and basic human reason and logic are totally at odds.

    Wait, there was somebody corrupt in the Islamic State?!

    Say it isn’t so!

    “Islamic State militants behead senior member for theft”

    What if the thief were not a senior member? what if he were…the founder of Islam?

    ‘He (Muhammad) summoned the Muslims and said, “This is the Quraysh caravan containing their property. Go out to attack it, perhaps God will give it as a prey.”‘
    Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah p. 289 jpg – The Life of Muhammad (translated by Guillaume – 21st impression 2007)

    Muhammad, the “greatest moral example in history” chose robbery as his chief source of income.

    Re-learn what the meaning and brutality of crucifixion really is/was. The picture only depicts a guy tied – not nailed – to a wood plank; after he was dead, probably.

    but don’t forget, Islam is ‘the religion of peace’.

    Muslims will kill anyone who says otherwise

    They’ve had a fire sake on beheadings this week. It figures they will now go after their own as they’ve killed most of the foreign hostages, except the woman. I really think they are reaching a crisis and are trying everything to survive. Can anyone tell me the last town they have taken?

    Equivalency 101:

    They have beheaded bodies and crucifixions, we have garden gnomes.
    It’s a cultural thing. Nothing to do with islam.
