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

Islamic State jihadi says he felt joyous when killing people because “I was killing infidels”

Dec 30, 2014 2:39 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic State“Anghel said the militants go through a very intensive brainwashing process of Shariah, the Islamic law, and they come out on the other side truly believing that God wants them to kill infidels.”

Now where could they have gotten such a crazy, Islamophobic idea? Could it be from Qur’an passages like these?

2:191-193: “And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.”

4:89: “They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.”

9:5: “Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.”

Naaah. That couldn’t be it. Everyone knows that when these verses are read in the original Arabic and understood in their proper context, they mean “hug them wherever you come upon them…hug them — such is the recompense of unbelievers,” and “buy them a cup of coffee wherever you find them,” and “give bouquets of yellow roses to the idolaters wherever you find them.”

“Israeli Journalist ‘Horrified’ After Interviewing ISIS Fighters About Bloodthirsty Terror Tactics,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, December 28, 2014:

Israeli journalist Itai Anghel said in a radio interview last week that it was “horrifying” to hear about terrorist tactics and their graphic details described to him by captured ISIS fighters he spoke with while in Iraq and Syria.

Anghel spent a week in each country, staying in the Kurdish-held territories to report on ISIS for the Israeli television show Uvdah. He interviewed ISIS fighters captured by Kurdish forces about acts they committed as members of the terrorist group, including beheadings, as well as their stance on Jews and Israel. Some of the captives were blindfolded during their interviews with Anghel and none of them knew that the reporter was Israeli.

“One of them said that he deliberately uses a knife which is not the sharpest knife because he wants the beheading process to take longer and to inflict more pain and more suffering on his victim,” Anghel told Israel’s TLV1 Radio this week about his conversations with ISIS militants. “And you hear it and you see his face and he’s absolutely cold and technical in the way he’s telling it. It was something beyond any logic… Even with all my experience.”

Anghel, who was once an editor for Israeli Army Radio, previously reported from Croatia, Bosnia, Pakistan, Rwanda, Afghanistan, Egypt and Tunisia, among other places. He has visited Iraq four times and Syria twice. He told TLV1 Radio that during his trips he met James Foley, the American journalist who was captured and then decapitated by ISIS fighters in August.

When Anghel asked the ISIS militants how they felt about killing people, one said he was apathetic while another replied that he felt joyous because “I was killing infidels.” Anghel said the militants go through a very intensive brainwashing process of Shariah, the Islamic law, and they come out on the other side truly believing that God wants them to kill infidels. He told TLV1 Radio “they feel very complete with themselves.”…

    Not to be overlooked is Qur’an 9:14:

    “Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people.”

    In other words, killing them will make you feel better and compensate for your unhappy childhood.

      Hunting season is open…perpetually…as long as there are Muslims.

      I would like to kick Allah right in the ass.

      Unfortunately Allah way has too many Muslims protecting him and his honor from attack.
      Allah is such a defenseless wimpy god without his Muslim goons always on watch.

    “Anghel said the militants go through a very intensive brainwashing process of Shariah”

    It has nothing to do with brainwashing, it has everything to do with our God-given gift of FREE WILL.
    God has commanded us to love, yet Love by its own essence MUST BE FREE.
    Everyone of us is completely free to chose Love or to reject it. Brainwashing CANNOT take away our Free Will.

      So true: we always have choice. They reject the small voice of conscience.

      Salah, Sorry to have to disagree with you. Religious indoctrination (brainwashing), is a long and persistent process of mental conditioning. It is bad enough when practised by relatively benign religions (or politics) here in the West; but it always leads to a diminished degree of free will on the part of the unwitting ‘victim’. In extreme cases, the end result can be almost indistinguishable from a post hypnotic suggestion, where a particular behaviour becomes virtually compulsory – or inhibited through fear. There are many components to this practice: an authority figure (Allah, Muhammad, the local imam, Baghdadi); community expectations; family or peer pressure; repetition of commands; the use of fear; longitudinal consistency of behaviour; personal guilt – the list goes on. Do not underestimate the power of indoctrination; it sure can rob a person of much of his free will – and that’s one reason I’m an atheist.

      The unconscious memories (learnings, behaviours and fears), we accumulate over time, control our lives to a much greater degree than most people realize. And that is particularly true when new information is associated with emotion – as it is in religious preaching. The Ayatollah Khomeini was reported to have said, “Friday prayers were the means of mobilizing the people, of inspiring them to battle. The man who goes to war straight from the mosque is afraid of only one thing – Allah!”

    Only a heartless, soulless SOA could feel “joyous” while killing people …no surprise that there’s no remorse from this evil perp.

    Yes, the unholy quran is replete with directives for muslims to commit murder and mayhem. It’s all right there, in black and white. Read it and ..wakeup!

    • mortimer says

    This is not surprising since when the serpent, satan the devil, was enticing…lying to…Eve, he knew full well that if she listened to him she would die…as would all of her children after her. When he was trying to get Christ to do an act of worship to him, or to jump off the mountain top, he knew full well everything he said was a lie and Christ would suffer for it if he gave in. When the devil incited those people who called for Jesus to be killed instead of the robber, when the Romans put him through the torture of putting nails in his hands and feet and piercing his side with a spear….all after Jesus had been awake all night and had the crown of thorns hammered into his scalp…he (satan) was reveling in the intense and severe pain Jesus suffered and he enjoyed all of it.

    The devil, satan, the original serpent, creator of the beast that is islam, likes people to suffer. With the atrocities of is and boko haram, and all the others everywhere…he is enjoying the suffering of the victims of jihad and looking forward to seeing his worshippers suffer eternal judgment. The members of is are only following the horrible example of their *father.*

    These people need a mass exorcism. They are possessed by demons and do the work of demons for the glory of Satan himself. This is possibly the last fight on Earth between good and evil in this world with people’s very souls at stake here.

    • EYESOPEN says

      Dec 31, 2014 at 9:30 pm

      Even through an exorcism, the exorcee must choose God of his (or her) own free will. An exorcism is NOT a magic wand. It is merely the most effective tool for helping a person who WANTS to be helped from slavery to Satan back into God’s path.

    Anghel said the militants go through a very intensive brainwashing process of Shariah, the Islamic law, and they come out on the other side truly believing that God wants them to kill infidels.

    Did Anghel ever asked himself what was the motivation of the people who leave their countries and families behind join the ranks of the islamic state? I’m no journalist, but I have the feeling the people who leave comfortable lives behind to go and kill infidels are already eager to kill infidels before being subjected to this alleged “sharia brainwashing”.

      Angemon said: “I’m no journalist, but I have the feeling the people who leave comfortable lives behind to go and kill infidels are already eager to kill infidels before being subjected to this alleged “sharia brainwashing”.”

      I do believe you are right there Angemon.

    Of course Muslims feel joy when killing people. Islam is a DEATH CULT. There are times I wonder if they are actually worshiping Kali, the god of death

    Killing, slavery, rape, violence; THIS is Islam, despite the lBS claim that islam is a ‘religion of peace’

    ”Israeli journalist Itai Anghel said in a radio interview last week that it was “horrifying” to hear about terrorist tactics and their graphic details described to him by captured ISIS fighters he spoke with while in Iraq and Syria”

    I don’t know why Mr. Anghel would describe this as ‘horrifying’, in the sense of something he’s never come across before. As an Israeli, he must be well informed about the mohammedan mindset – the lust for death, of Jews, certainly, but also any non-mohammedans, should be something he is familiar with.

    “And you hear it and you see his face and he’s absolutely cold and technical in the way he’s telling it. It was something beyond any logic… Even with all my experience.”

    The world has got to stop attempting to find *anything* ‘logical’ in the mohammedan mindset. These people are driven simply and solely by the koran and the example of mohammed. The converts are attracted by the ‘religious permission’ given by the koran to wallow in murder and mayhem.

    It is time to stop judging them by the same criteria as we would judge normal human beings. This *is* their logic. This *is* what drives them. We *must* accept this and understand this, and treat them as we would a pack of rabid dogs.

    If we continue to be shocked, and twist ourselves around trying to find some ‘logical’ rationale, we are snookered. Let’s recognise them for what they are; evil, lost creatures who have nothing to do with how normal human beings think and feel. We need to put them down.

      Well said, Mirren10. And so very true.

    Experiencing joy at the suffering of others is a mental disorder.
    It seems that every so often humanity must witness a large segment of human beings going criminally insane.
    It happened under the Axis Powers, we saw it under “communism” in Cambodia, for example and now, today, in the Muslim world, which has always extremely violent, metastasizing.
    Muslims always point to non_muslim atrocities in order to escape admitting the role that Islam plays in this, ignoring the fact that these activities in the West have not been committed in the name of Christianity against non -Christians for the simple reason that they are not Christians and need to be wiped out.
    This was not always the case, but it certainly is now, because Christians have taken responsibility for the actions of their coreligionists when justifying atrocities against minorities. Yes, the Nazis were (largely) non-Muslims. But the Nuremberg Trials were also carried out by majority Christian countries.
    I see no such corrective action occurring in the Muslim world. Can you imagine? A Muslim prosecutor prosecuting a Muslim war criminal in a court with participation for governments of Muslim countries?
    Dream on!

    Muslims killing non Muslims = good Muslims practicing their religion and doing the work ordered by Allah.

    Non Muslims killing Muslims in defence of their lives, women and children and property = vile racist, Islamophobic bigotry..

  14. duh_swami says

    Dec 31, 2014 at 5:26 am

    You didn’t kill anyone, Allah did it, Q 8:17…You are supposed to do the act for Allah like a robot, with no emotion, no compassion, no sensitivity and above all, no joy…All joy is reserved for Allah. If you have any of that, you stole it from Allah and he is going to get it back……

    This would have to classify them as Shaitanic religion, or as the Hindus say an Asuriac religion, a religion of darkness, born in the Dark Age (Skt.: Kali-yuga). For more info on elder Hindu religion’s perspective on Islam see Awaken Bharata: A Call for India’s Rebirth by David Frawley.

    He is but a moderate muslim (probably educated and from a wealthy background) simply following the teachings of his good book and in his eyes he has committed no sin. Oh how joyous he must be just now seeing himself advancing his way moving that ever bit closer to receiving his 72 little virgin boys.

    1400 years of In-breeding causes the mental illness and his koran (the Art of Peace) is always by his side to help tip him over the edge.

    Not only that, he now has the full backing of all the western media and politicians to help him complete his task especially when world leaders like merkel, obama & camoron go on live tv and inform their indigenous population to back down from any anti-islam remarks, don’t go on any anti-islam marches and also lets scrub the ideology from all text books while we are at it.

    Hell, obama has just pledged 1 billion dollars to his cause for 2015

    With all that he must be thinking that it is a slam dunk so yes he will be overjoyed right now, wouldn’t you ?

    After a hard day of butchery Muslims wash all the blood off before evening prayers and before going to bed.
    As they lie in bed staring into the sad emptiness in their souls they fantasize about killing in a vain hope that this next time maybe just maybe they can forget about or at least delay the soul crushing emptiness that the cage of Islam offers for just a fleeting moment by finding enemies to blame for Islam’s emptiness and shame.
