If 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…

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.
mortimer says
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.
Steffen Larsen says
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.

You know, sometimes a strongly-worded letter to the editor just doesn’t cut it…
mortimer says
Nathan Lean would be shot by ISIS as too ‘moderate’.
Jay Boo says
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”
mortimer says
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.

Oddly enough, Nathan lean is an anagram of “Anal Ant Hen”, just putting it out there.

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.
JIMJFOX says
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
Without many rules of how to impress the Islamic Allah Muslims might stop to ask “Why?”
dumbledoresarmy says
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
Yes,
mosque and toilet
Same difference
gravenimage says
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.

Their strange little rituals are amusing.

Good Morning Muslim World
Nothing new
It is time to take another look at the joyless emptiness of Islam.
It is still about … Death
fair_dinkum says
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.
EvenSo says
Just thinking about Persia… They had a free society – look what they have now.

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.

Islamic State murders five journalists in Mosul
……………………….
*Damn barbarians*.
Simplynotred says
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.
