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

Taliban spokesman: “The Peshawar attack is in complete accordance with the Prophet’s teachings”

Dec 18, 2014 10:04 am By Robert Spencer

According to Hindol Sengupta, the Editor-at-Large at Fortune India, Taliban spokesman Muhammad Khorasani has justified the Peshawar jihad massacre by likening it to Muhammad’s massacre of the Jewish Qurayzah tribe.

Khorasani says: “The Mujahideen were instructed to only kill the older children. The Peshawar attack is in complete accordance with the Prophet’s teachings because when the Prophet killed the Jewish Tribe of Banu Qurayza, he put the same guideline, that only the children who have hair below their belly button (pubic hair) are allowed to be killed. Killing of women and children is also in accordance with the teachings of the Prophet. Those who object to this claim can refer to Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Hadith 148.”

Sahih Bukhari volume 5, hadith 148 says this: “Narrated by Abu Said Al-Khudri: Some people (i.e. the Jews of Bani bin Quraiza) agreed to accept the verdict of Sad bin Muadh so the Prophet sent for him (i.e. Sad bin Muadh). He came riding a donkey, and when he approached the Mosque, the Prophet said, “Get up for the best amongst you.” or said, “Get up for your chief.” Then the Prophet said, “O Sad! These people have agreed to accept your verdict.” Sad said, “I judge that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as captives.” The Prophet said, “You have given a judgment similar to Allah’s Judgment (or the King’s judgment).”

And his statement about pubic hair comes from this: “Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi: I was among the captives of Banu Qurayza. They (the Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair. (Sunan Abu Dawood 38:4390)

If this statement by Muhammad Khorasani is authentic, then Hindol Sengupta is absolutely right: this is the problem in a nutshell. For Western leaders continue to insist that Islamic jihad terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. Jihad terrorists, meanwhile, consistently and frequently invoke the Qur’an and Muhammad to justify their actions. When counter-jihadists point this out, they’re denounced as racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” and accused of “validating” the terrorists’ narrative. What we don’t see is any significant effort to refute that narrative on Islamic grounds. Instead, Islamic apologists such as Reza Aslan and Qasim Rashid crank out pieces claiming that massacres like this one have nothing to do with Islam, while ignoring altogether the passages Khorasani invokes to justify such massacres.

And so there will be more jihad massacres, and again they will be justified by their perpetrators on Islamic grounds, and again any call for serious reform and a genuine attempt to address this problem will be denounced as “Islamophobia.”

    There can be only one serious issue for future presidential candidates of the United States: Are they honest in addressing the core issue that has doomed American foreign policy and cost the American taxpayer billions upon billions of dollars and thousands of lives, and thrown a half-dozen countries into bloody chaos — or are the fantasy-based idiots like we’ve got now? Do they acknowledge that the Islamic texts are the basis for all jihad and Islamic terror and the Islamic State, et al., or do they stick their heads in the sand and spew nonsense about it to appease moslems and claim it all has “nothing to do with Islam” and is a “perversion” of the “religion of peace”? For when, and only when, they acknowledge reality, can they deal with it realistically. This is the issue that must be forced into view, front and center, for any wouldbe presidential candidate.

    Talabans also point out to the the Quran verse that says ” Retaliation is ordained upon you. a free man for a free man, slave for a slave and female for female”

    Talaban claim that ” Murtad” Pakistani army is killing their children so they are justified in killing children of Pakistani army solders.

    MSN and Yahoo have already flush this story out of sight.
    Even BBC world news has appeared to do the same.
    The Mainstream media prefers to talk about Obama & Cuba.
    Was Cuba then, Obama’s way of sending them a — (let’s talk about something else) — cue.

      My understanding is that the President and/or the State Department decides which countries we should have formal diplomatic relations with.

      While I do not like Obama, personally or politically, I see no reason why we can have diplomatic relations with Vietnam, responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, and not Cuba. Maybe if we had, the Cuban Missle Crisis would not have happened.

      • Wellington says

        Dec 18, 2014 at 11:59 am

        Cuba is different, Fr. Basil.

        First of all, it’s only 90 miles from our shore while Vietnam is some half-way around the world.

        Second, Castro has never compensated American businesses for his appropriation of their assets in Cuba.

        Third, and think Realpolitik here, if America, and especially during the Cold War but even now, is ready to have normal relations with Castro, this would have sent (and still does send) a signal of weakness to the world at large. Of course, Obama projects weakness in foreign affairs regularly and people like the Iranians, Russians and Chinese know it full well and this move by Obama towards Cuba will just further confirm such convictions by our adversaries.

        Fourth, it’s personal. From the days of Eisnhower and JFK onwards, Castro has been looked upon as an extra irritant and sometimes you do things because, well, it’s very human to do them——like isolating the SOB in Havana, who, let’s not forget, is a control-freak on a national scale and who has turned Cuba into one giant prison camp—–and a very run-down prison camp at that.

        Fifth, while Vietnamese escaped a hell-hole of a country if they could and came to America, it has been nowhere near, in terms of per capita, the amount of Cubans who have fled Cuba for America, some 20% of the population. This is a slap in the face to Cuban-Americans big time and Senator Rubio articulated this.

        Sixth, and in typical Obama fasion, he got NOTHING from Cuba while Cuba gets so much of what it wants. All in all, It adds up to just one more foreign poicy goof-up by Obama who coddles America’s enemies and craps on our allies.

    Someone must have forgotten to tell this taliban spokesman(who is for sure an islam-expert)
    all this “religion of peace”-shit the Pope/Affleck(for sure no clue about islam) and Media are saying about islam.
    And a peacefull muslim imam will say:”No,he is wrong.He is missinterpreting islam by interpreting islam with 100% accuracy .Muslims who kill people just like mohammed did for the same reasons,are wrong by doing so while mohammed wasn’t
    because ….because….because it’s bad PR.mohammeds killings were philantrophic and nice and beautifull,just like his childrape.”

    The Taliban keeps it real. And even mentions Islam’s lovely history starting with the OG himself of Jew killing in it to complete a perfect picture of Islam: a warlord cult for conquest and submission. The only way Islam can coexist with modernity is to have a major schism, but it doesn’t seem interested in reform, there’s huge momentum for the opposite, to go to more orthodox. Where is Islam’s Martin Luther? Probably beheaded somewhere with the blessings of the UN.

    Meticulously Islamic…
    -“Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.” Koran 11.173
    -“O you who believe! retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.” Koran 2.178
    -“those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed”(Sunan Abu Dawood 38:4390)
    -“It is narrated by Sa’b b. Jaththama that he said (to the Holy Prophet): Messenger of Allah, we kill the children of the polytheists during the night raids. He said: They are from them.” (Sahih Muslim, Book 019, Number 4322)

    Yep, Muslims believe (or hide) this, so what are they gonna do about it? Tired of them covering up this stuff. It will never be dealt with if it can’t even be spoken. Sheesh. Oh, oh, we have to speak about it in the “right way”…ok, how is that? Every person who even brings these things up is character assassinated, even the darlings of the left BY THE LEFT, it’s ridiculous. Grow up leftists! And if a Muslim says it, they usually end up dead. If they even dare.

    And the bodies pile up…..

    Can’t feel totally sorry for Pakistan.
    It was the same Pakistan’s security forces that directed the Mumbai hotel and Jewish Centre massacres and the fact it was adults killed and not children is a detail.
    The Rabbi and his wife were tortured (genitally) before being killed and it was the heroism of the childminder that prevented that loss of life.
    Also Osama was hiding in plain sight of the Pak Army in Abbottabad, a military town.

    “The Peshawar attack is in complete accordance with the Prophet’s teachings”

    Of course it is–if it were not, they–students and adherents to their “sacred Texts”–would not have executed the act.

    They did so because the action is entirely withing the guild-lines of the sunnah of their prophet and teachings in the “book” he brought.

    Hate and barbaric behavior is primary to this Islamic ideology. Kill anyone for any purpose. These children were not responsible for the hatred of Taliban. They were school children. They are savages.

    The problem within Islam is that ” a mullah” is absolute authority when it comes to interpreting and spreading of religious teachings. Ordinary souls without a bear and without blind adherence to ahadith (compiled 300 after the death of prolhet), have no say in any matter religious. On top of that regressive laws like blasphemy laws in pakistan, put huge bars on the free expresion and interpretation of religious thoughts.

    DID YOU FOLKS KNOW THAT: In the Spending Bill just passed by both Houses, avoiding a Government Shutdown until at least end February 2015, there was a most interesting piece of pork within the Bill-which apparently no one read again. Both Houses apparently approved an Obama request to raise the Immigration Quota of Muslims-regardless of Country of Origin-to 100,000 per month, or 1.2MM per year. Free of charge, of course, as there will have to be many Liberal Law Firms to pay with Taxpayers $$$ to meet this (these) goals. Nothing like accepting this Modern-Day Trojan Horse right in our front door, eh?

    “those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed” And this is a reason to be killed and what if there are porcelain or shaved among? Okay that´s for joking but as we can easily see this they call prophet is just blood thirsty liar and God would never ask anyone to kill each other with that kind of nonsense. He may be a prophet to fool followers but God never sent him to do such horrible venture to kill innocent people with pubic hair.

    God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 He will send a prophet like Moses for us to tell us everything He wants us to know and He will put His words into His prophets mouth meaning he does not need to study Bible. Religions are the ones who study and make additional books all the time and are guilty on braking law of God in Deut. 4:2 They have fooled whole humanity for thousands of years but now they have been reveled of their lies by revelations of God´s last prophet (like Moses), Maestro Evangelista of http://www.thename.ph and http://www.thenameonline.info

    Being a muslim and living in US, I believe, Islam and its history is full of violence. We need to condemn the bad part of Taliban and other radicals like the Peshawar attack and appreciate the good one like fighting for self defense.

    In the case of Muhammad (the founder of Islam), he was believed by his followers to be the prophet like Moses. He claimed that God’s teachings are now in another book that he calls the “Quran”.

    When Muhammad claimed that God’s true teachings is in another book (the Quran), he easily exposed to us that he is not the prophet like Moses and is undoubtedly guilty of adding to God’s word because of Deuteronomy 28:58. The prophet Moses was strict in saying that God’s true commandments are found in the laws of God which he had written. Let us read:

    “If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book,
    and do not revere this glorious and awesome name – the LORD your God”-
    Deuteronomy 28:58 NIV

    “IF YOU DO NOT CAREFULLY FOLLOW ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LAW, WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name – the LORD your God”- It is very clear that God’s laws are only in the books which was written by the prophet Moses and not in any other book.

    This purports that people should no longer fear Islam as its founder was proven (through God’s word) that he is not the prophet like Moses. All that he had written in the Quran is not from the God of Abraham and Moses!

    Moreover, the name he calls God as “Allah’ is truly not God’s Name.
