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

Islamic State murders five journalists in Mosul

Nov 8, 2014 8:12 pm By Robert Spencer

IS-beheads-American-Foley-thumb-560x301-3632-550x295If they’re angry about the coverage they’re getting, perhaps we should send some of our large coterie of pro-jihad journalists over to the Islamic State. Christiane Amanpour, Spencer Ackerman, Niraj Warikoo, Jennifer Fermino, Corinne Lestch, Bob Smietana — what a wonderful time they would have, and we would be treated to a series of puff pieces showing the good side of those poor, misunderstand jihadis. Then they would put down their scimitars and show us Islam’s peaceful and tolerant side.

“The group issued a series of draconian guidelines to journalists in early October stating that they must declare allegiance to the Islamic State and obtain approval for all reports.” Are they taking a cue from Hamas-linked CAIR?

“ISIS executes five journalists in Mosul,” by Alexander Whitcomb, Rudaw, November 7, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The Islamic State (ISIS) has executed five local journalists in Mosul, according to a Rudaw source in the city.

Brothers Ahmed and Aitar Rafi, Mohandis Yasir, Yasir Alqaisi, and Modhas Adari were executed in the city’s southeastern Sumar district of Mosul on Thursday, the source told Rudaw.

The local resident identified the journalist as having worked for a Mosul-based television station, Shema TV, and said ISIS had killed them for “acting as spies.”

Since ISIS toppled Mosul in June, reports have emerged of kidnappings of journalists in Iraq’s second-largest city, with several raids reported in late October.

The news of these murders arrives only days after German agency DPA reported four journalists were killed on Tuesday, after 12 journalists were abducted in October.

It has proven difficult to confirm any of the deaths, because the group has driven most journalists out of the city or intimidated them into silence.

“It is currently very hard to get any reliable information from either Iraq or Syria,” Reporters Without Borders wrote in a press statement in October, after conflicting accounts emerged about the alleged murder of Mosul journalist Mohanad Al-Aqidi.

“This example of contradictory information demonstrates the difficulty or even impossibility for journalists to work,” it said…

The group issued a series of draconian guidelines to journalists in early October stating that they must declare allegiance to the Islamic State and obtain approval for all reports.

    I have a better candidate to send over there : dimestore thug NATHAN LEAN, the protégé of Georgetown University’s secret-taqiyyist professor John Esposito.

    If Jihad Watch readers have not seen Nathan Lean’s threats to Robert Spencer, do a search box inquiry here. You will find a sick grandson of Muhammad.

    BTW ! ! ! His website — www (dot) nathanlean (dot) com — has not been updated for many months. Is that because of a long binge drinking episode ?

    Or maybe his conscious caught a draught of remorse . . . thinking of children & women killed or raped by Allah’s faithful ?

    I remain hopeful that even Lean and his fellow gang member Reza Aslan will eventually regain their souls and join us.

      You could be right, J3,
      It’s happened before that Islamists who daily read counterjihad sites abandon Islam. Reading the DAILY savagery and barbarism of indoctrinated Koranimals must eventually sicken and disgust even the most NEUROTIC person!

      Many Nazis repented but a large number did not repent.

      It is impossible for an emotionally healthy person to defend political Islam.

        The moon is lifeless, arrogant, spiteful and foolish.
        The moon is jealous of the sun.
        The moon does not realize that even if it were able to destroy the sun,
        that it too would be forever in darkness.

        Let’s hope they exit and see the light shining on Islam’s darkness.

      Ah ..yes, Nathan Lean hasn’t updated his blog recently.

      Disasters happen when he writes long articles, and they unintentionally push the readers towards the other side. He is at his best in short, abusive attacks when there is little reason to describe facts.

      Nathan Lean would be shot by ISIS as too ‘moderate’.

      • Jay Boo says

        Nov 9, 2014 at 12:06 am

        Nathan Lean and Hamas-linked CAIR would call the Ground Zero Mosque, “The Park 51 Center”

        ISIS would not do that.
        As Brother Rachid told us, Islam is not peace; “Islam is ISIS”

    Is ISIS murders all the professional journalists, there will be no journalism and no reporting their atrocities.

    There will be no reporting of the number of ISIS fighters who are killed, wounded or deserting. Reports are coming out that they are murdering one another.

      This should come as no surprise in a place where Infidels, “heretics”, and “apostates” are being slaughtered.

      Pious Jihadists are killing each other over charges that they are “insufficiently Islamic”, or else just over power struggles or disputes over the spoils of Jihad like sex slaves.

      Pure islam is a chaotic and bloody vision of hell.

    Wash Time
    What is it with this compulsive obsession that Muslims have with washing before prayers?
    It makes no sense.
    It is as if they are trying to wash off buckets of blood.

      Read “Reliance of the Traveller”, available free on line- its the manual of shari’ah.

      You’ll learn about how to wipe your ass, the correct sequence of washing face and feet, which foot goes first into and out of the mosque and many other vitally important but farcical muslim duties.
      Also clarifications on jihad and its purpose (which CAIR would do well to read)

      • Jay Boo says

        Nov 9, 2014 at 1:24 am

        Without many rules of how to impress the Islamic Allah Muslims might stop to ask “Why?”

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Nov 9, 2014 at 5:35 am

        Never mind which foot goes first into and out of the *mosque*; the other thing they have to worry about, so I am told, is which foot goes first into and out of the *toilet*.

        • Jay Boo says

          Nov 9, 2014 at 2:35 pm

          Yes,
          mosque and toilet

          Same difference

        • gravenimage says

          Nov 9, 2014 at 11:11 pm

          Yes, DDA—a creed where entering the restroom with the “wrong” foot is held to be evil, but enslavement, child rape, and genocide are perfectly Halal.

          God, I hate Islam.

    Good Morning Muslim World
    Nothing new

    It is time to take another look at the joyless emptiness of Islam.

    It is still about … Death

    and nothing to do with islam, i’ll bet.

    look at the beginning of the end.. we are headed for some harsh times yet, which will start exposure of the truth and alienate moslem communities.it will reach a tipping point. all things do.

    the west is the freest culture in every sense… try taking it off people.

    The truth will set you free unless its the truth about Islam. That will get you beheaded. There is NO multiculturism, democracy or freedom of speech in Islam.

    ‘If you can keep your head when all about are losing theirs ….’ (Rudyard Kipling)

    ……. then you’ve learned how to file dhimmi news reports in an Islamic theocracy!

    Only cowards hide their face, when killing innocent victims. The truth about Islam is maintained by the many cowards who do everything in their power to stop Islamic Beheading. You see not one Peaceful Islamist has the courage to confront the Murderous Islamist and prevent them from harming others. So all of Islam is filled with cowards, those who hide their face, and those who hide themselves from their evil brothers.
