“A militant addressed the large crowd, which included children, as the man was restrained behind him claiming to carry out the ‘law of Allah’ by executing him for allegedly insulting God.” Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “Isis publicly behead man in Syrian town square for ‘insulting Allah’ as he screams for help,” by Lizzie Dearden, the Independent, January 28, 2015 (thanks to Robert):
A man was held down and beheaded for “insulting Allah” in the middle of a Syrian town by Isis fighters as he screamed for help from the silent crowd.
Footage reportedly taken on Monday in the town of Al-Shadadi is the terror group’s latest show of brutality in its territories stretching from the Turkish border in Syria to northern Iraq.
Details of the man’s crime were unknown but his death was staged for maximum exposure in a public square.
A militant addressed the large crowd, which included children, as the man was restrained behind him claiming to carry out the “law of Allah” by executing him for allegedly insulting God.
Isis militants beheaded the man publicly after posing for cameras, in Al-Shadadi, Syria Isis militants beheaded the man publicly after posing for cameras, in Al-Shadadi, Syria Isis fighters posed with the man as the address was filmed close-up for the group’s propaganda makers.
Unlike most victims, the young man was not blindfolded and was forced to the ground face down to be decapitated.
He continued to struggle while screaming for help as the crowd stood watching and filming the gruesome display on their phones.
According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, who said the footage appeared genuine, he shouted: “I won’t forgive you, I am not the one who did it.”

Aardvark says
Pure, unadulterated Islam. But the Western leaders and media dare not admit this, for fear of offending the tens of thousands of mohammedans they allowed into the civilised countries. Instead they must pretend that there are two Islams, one of them benign, and one extremist.
So while on the one hand the BBC is deprecating the Nazi holocaust, on the other they, and the British government, are enabling the next mohammedan one!

London Jim. i take it from your moniker that you are from the big smoke, You are right when you say coming to a neighbourhood near you . I have been trying to get some information on the beheading of grandmother Palmira Silva who was murdered in Sept 2014 , i was watching the BBC that day , while the blood was still flowing from that poor woman a police spokesman was in the street outside her house assuring us that it was not a terrorist attack. Stories emerged in the newspapers that the perpetrator Nick Salvatore was a convert to Islam, there appears to have then been a media blackout on this story and i have not been able to find out any information since Sept the last i heard was Salvatore refused to appear in court.

Thanks Pumbar this article is from September, there has been no mention in the media since September which i find very strange.
Mr Pendle says
The media are mostly liberal. Maybe around 90% of them lean to the left. Some more than others but it’s around that mark. The left wing politicians like mass immigration because it’s about the vote. The more helpless people, the more CONTROL they have. Power is the order of the day with the left. They believe, they know best. They don’t believe you do. Pretty simple concept. Now, saying all that, my opinion is that the left along with their brothers in the media, will cover up as much as they can about the Islamic problem. The reason for this is very simple. Nationalism. The left are simply worried about the right wing making in roads and becoming very popular to a concerned population. This is a NIGHTMARE to the left. They will do ANYTHING to stop this. There will be plenty of a “Means to an End” but a lot people will die because of this crazy thinking. Remember this, it’s all about control and trust me, power is addictive!
Georg says
Well said.
Kakodaemon says
And the worse part is, they have created the narrative of the high moral position to justify this power lust. That all people are the same, and all have the right to live in this society no matter the culture. There should be no borders and no judgments.

Mirren10 says
” … there has been no mention in the media since September which i find very strange.’
Can’t say I do. Vilely reprehensible, but not strange. The media is in the business of ignoring, wherever possible, mohammedan violence/murder, and when not possible, downplaying it.

Hi Andrew , i am well aquainted with the area mentioned , i have many friends who still live there, they let me know what the current state of affairs are, and its none too good. I have been looking at the polical scene in Rotherham via the website Rothpol, a nest of snakes and no mistake . I hope those that had a hand in any of the shit that went down there are held accountable, but seeing the way this country has capitulated i doubt it. Hope your friend has recovered and is doing well, the scum that done it may well be in need of his services some day. Best wishes.
Dr Nath says
For how long will the world wait? Until who from which country or continent is murdered? For how long will the helpless world stand speechlessly as innocent and helpless citizens of the world who placed their trust on us to defend then as cohabitant of the planet earth? For how long will humanity look unconcern as the growing cases of heading and beheading go unimpeded?
Until the Present Obama of the United States America , as the only superpower and the leader of free world leaves office if he chooses to spend the rest of his presidency in compromising with apologetic stance while the leader of United Kingdom Mr Cameroon seemed to have lost totally the extraordinary intelligence and diplomacy that characterize Britain and inspired her hegemony of the world with ideology built of righteousness of true God?
Perhaps, the world will have to wait and the killings go uninterrupted until the opposition parties in G8 or G20 countries conceptualize and formulate as an election issues the built around engaging the abhorrent teaching inherent in Islamic Holy book which become the springboard and reference points for absurdities, abomination and atrocities unleashed against humanity unfortunate to be found in ISIS and Boko Haram enclaves?
The entire world is waiting for purposeful leaders not the present apologetic alternative presently incompetent in handling the unfolding machination never known in humanity. Japanese leader thought pledging financial gratification is what the world is expecting from mighty Japan in confronting the evil. Japan is remembered in the heading adventure.
Among the leaders who will be farsighted enough to call United nation to orders for overlooking the gruesome murdering and confusion eclipsing the entire planet that fought two world wars to attain the present perfection in world peace and economic growth until the sudden emergence of the propagation of Islamism as the only religion whose God is supreme.
That the Mighty USA President Obama would be beheaded and America be transformed to a province of ISIS was found in the press this week. What is the world waiting before declaring be it a third world war on ISIS in a several prongs attack before it secure access to weapon of mass destruction given the wildly open and surreptitious allegiance of the citizens of the world to ISIS.
An unspeakable destruction is being awaited if it secures the liberty to mass destruction weapon in whatever magnitude. Air power alone without international organized boots on the ground to be followed by subsequent rewriting of Koran to make it to represent a religion of peace ascribed to Islam is the only language that will repudiate the growing cases of beheading, forced marriage of kidnapped women for sexual pleasure of the Jihadists, using children in suicide bombings, conversion by cohesion and a number of other cases of atrocities. Many gave their lives in world wars to bring peace to the world today being faced by religious intolerance and beheading of innocent human beings as mere animals. We seen an immediate end before it ends us

Salah says
@ zebo
“I wonder how many million people have been killed in the past 1400 years by a bunch of muslim psychopath like the poor guy above.”
By practicing the political act of Jihad, Muhammad and his followers caused the death of about 270 million non-muslims.

zebo says
270 mio is an extremly islamophobic number.
We should use some more politically correct results that don’t mess with the official “reality”
i’m pretty sure if you ask your local imam he will tell you that the number is less than 27 and even those killings were pure 100% self defense(just like the genoziding the banu quairish tribe//)
on a more sicer note:
you are very well educated about muslim attrocities but maybe you have not heard
of the former serbic tradition of pregnant serbic women wearing big metal plates-officially as decorative/jewellry underneath their cloth.
The real reason for wearing this metal plates was that turkish/osmanic occupant very often killed those woman(2 kafurs with one strike) to lower reproduction on christians on the balkan.It was some kind of sport(and of course islam had nothing to do with this) and those women protected theit bodies with those plates.
But this did not help as turks took than away the first born slavic children (as a formof tax) to turn them into killer machines(the janitsares)
dlbrand says

That is for rocking damn sure.
Paul says
It’s just killing for killing’s sake (and for the sake of peverse sexual
gratification). That’s what’s at the heart of this ideology. It’s
essentially the worship of one’s own sadism and bloodlust, plus
they can feel pious about their evil actions afterwards! Surely
anyone with the most basic knowledge of current affairs will have
grasped this. Still, we continue to import this ‘culture’ wholesale into
the West and wonder why terrible things happen, FFS!
Georg says
Interesting. I know when I took a class in Islam in college I was put off by what struck me as a fetishization of authority. The concept of the oneness of God, I think called tawhid, in Islam seems to echo in this fetishization. There is an insistence on truth, legitimacy, and frankly sanctimony that I think their culture doesn’t see (as a fish doesn’t know it’s in water) or takes for granted that is quite idiosyncratic relative to many other world cultures. It’s so antipodal to our roots– being hunter-gatherers, where generally egalitarianism and therefore dissolution of authority is the order. From my point of view, it seems essentially unnatural and implies some kind of manipulation.
Richie says
what now constitutes ‘Insulting Allah’ or ‘Insulting Islam’?
Im assuming not being a Muslim falls into that category, which is why Muslims try and justify genocide against followers of other religions
Paul says
In all fairness, there is SO much that ‘insults’ them that they can
complain about endlessly – human rights, democracy, freedom
of speech, sexual equality, animal rights, apostasy, critical thinking,
fairness, acting responsibly and just about every else positive, really.

Richie, you asked, “what now constitutes ‘Insulting Allah’ or ‘Insulting Islam’?
The short answer on that is, Allah has made harming the so-called prophet of Islam the same as harming him.
Therefore, the following, posted here, from a partial on-line available, Muhammad Messenger of Allah, Ash-Shifa of Qadi ‘Iyad Ibn Musa al-Yasubi, , Aisha Abdarrahman Bewley translation, Medinah Press, Cape Town, South Africa, Seventh print, 2008, 1429H:
Georg says
It’s astonishing to see how much worse the problem has become since 9/11. If someone told me this would be the state of affairs 14 years later I’d think it outlandish and paranoid. It goes to show that peace and order are far from inevitable. As a kid I thought the concept of WW III to be similarly outlandish– I mean, the odds of any European country attacking another are practically zilch, but I didn’t realize that might not matter. I also never conceived of, whatsoever, the dissolution of Europe which looms. With the mania that is Islamic state, and the escalating competition between Saudi Arabia and Iran, obviously spilling all over the place by proxies (even to Argentina, for God’s sake) a conflict orders of magnitude worse than we’re seeing not only seems possible, but frighteningly plausible. Out of curiosity, what do you all guess will be happening 1 year from now? 2? 5? 10? 25?
I hate to even ask. But what do you think would be the response to:
1) The US capitol suffering a major attack
2) Britain suffering a major attack, such as on Parliament
3) al Baghdadi being killed
4) Iran going nuclear
5) a major attack in Israel/Tel Aviv
6) hideous atrocities carried out in the West, such as broadcasted beheadings of kidnapped civilians (again, hate to even ask)
7) A veritable collapse/ coup in Pakistan
8) Any potential inflection points not listed you’d envision as being “game changers” where some critical mass is reached and the world is pushed onto a trajectory, with sides’ hand forced, so to speak?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
But what do you think would be the response to:
The US capitol suffering a major attack
Shock and horror, a clarion call for more interfaith dialog by Moslems being interviewed on TV, and a big boost in the budget of the DHS.
Britain suffering a major attack, such as on Parliament
A major crackdown on UKIP for having incited things.
al Baghdadi being killed
Self congratulation on finally having turned the corner in the war on terror, as after the killing of Osama.
Iran going nuclear
This has already happened, and there was no reaction. Watch for the reaction after the launch on Tel Aviv.
a major attack in Israel/Tel Aviv
A firm scolding of the Jews for their land stealing racist apartheid ways, with most of the scolds being news entertainer Jews (for credibility).
hideous atrocities carried out in the West, such as broadcasted beheadings of kidnapped civilians
Another big boost to the DHS budget, plus the same for the Dept of Justice. Also, an unfortunately necessary incursion of the rights of Americans, especially on the freedom of speech, which can only lead to more such hideous atrocities.
A veritable collapse/ coup in Pakistan
A nuclear exchange with India, which the media questioning Modi’s policy mistakes and bemoaning the tragedy.

There is no fun in Islam. There is no Islam in the Global Jihad. But, most of all, there is no honesty in the Infidel elites, who want the whole thing to just go away.
Georg says
Wow. Thank you, Alarmed Pig Farmer. I didn’t expect a response so quickly nor such a wonderfully nuanced one. I should clarify– I meant Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon and the world being sure of its existence. One I forgot is:
9) IS making significant incursions into Saudi Arabia. I think that’s thankfully unlikely, but still interesting.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Arabia has the easiest oil to recover anywhere, so they have unlimited funds. The unemployment rate among Arabians n Arabia is sky high, but the people get plenty of money from the gubmint there. Life is about money, and no people are so comfortable with emptiness as the Moslems.
So the New Caliphate has a tall mountain to climb there. And anyway, the oil is well protected there, and Infidel gubmints will deploy heavily to protect it.
My guess is that the New Caliphs won’t meet with much success there, but they are sure to try. One of their weaknesses will be the unassailable credentials of the House of Saud when it comes to Sharia compliance, Islamism.
Georg says
I agree with your assessment of the IS-Saudi Arabia situation. It’s too tough a nut for lS. I particularly liked your answer concerning the killing of Baghdadi. It goes to show that this movement is different from Nazism, for example, in that it’s not so much about a charismatic leader. HOWEVER, if you consider Muhammad to be that person, then it points to the reality that he can not be taken out, as Hitler was, but only argued against (which Robert does so well). Yikes… as you said… no fun.
Sam Hawkins says
As funny as your response is, the bitter truth is it may come 100% true.
Paul says
I know where you are coming from. I can assure you, you’ve seen
nothing yet. I always used to wonder how the Bible could have
missed all of this. At least I did until I came across the work of Walid
Shoebat, who you’ve most likely heard of. As a former Muslim who
lived in the Middle East who then became a Christian, it’s clear he’s
got a uniquely perceptive view of what’s really happening now and
what will happen in the future.
This is a relatively compact video in which he sums it all up :
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
He continued to struggle while screaming for help as the crowd stood watching and filming the gruesome display on their phones.
The tiny minority of extremist hijackers is getting bigger and bigger. I never knew that Unicorns could be bloodthirsty, heck, I always thought they were a grazing species that’d acquired the bad habit of feeding on Infidel taxpayer dollars was their only flaw.
Yet the prima facie assumption is that Islam is a good belief system that is unfortunately somehow open to being hijacked. That is never questioned, in fact it is asserted tirelessly on Fox RINO and in the WSJ, and in every other major news outlet. Why? The explanation is that the Unicorns are forced to celebrate murder of Infidels by peer pressure, or as a salve to the white colonialism they’ve suffered, or the occupation of Palestine by the apartheid racist Jews.
But let there be no direct connection drawn to the Islamic scriptures, can’t do that, not the least of reasons being that doing so could be fatal to the news entertainer with the honesty and courage to try.

Can’t bring myself to re-read the article, so pardon me if my recollection is erronious. That being said, some salient geometry kept making me turn back again and again despite the ?where?when?how? whom? becoming ever more obscure as the hours tick by and the death count mounts.

When the penny started to drop, even the idle finges of my conscience reflexively flinched, aghast at the imminent confiscation of those comfy niches cunning/opportunism/guile and :-/ grottyness had appropriated along the journey, and rapidly starting to get pissed (stateside-fashion) at this lunatic called Keith 9.13.62 (when’e got dragged feet-first kickinandscreamin by ‘is grandad Teddy, obsetritian at Derby General Hospital) ,and who , in an Omen-esqely foreboding twist of what, 22 later, was to be certified by the now infamous celebrity head-shrink (ex) Dr Peter Rowan as nothing less than trademarked schitzo with a prefix of good ole manic depression. .anyhows, this Keith bloke did ‘an Obama’ an somehow switched ‘is name to ‘James’ by the tine he hit the font, then buggered off to spend the next 3years in Kenya.

London Jim says
Right. . Apos for the hyperbole, the point of which is to try and lay a foundation stone for a memorial of sorts for the victim of a crime so foul that the brave man’s soul is calling out for justice with a resonance no less awesome in its sincere majesty than the cry of a leviathon that oscillates the width of oceans, its delivery so powerful and pitch so perfect that it isn’t so difficult to imagine it never stopping. . .
London Jim says
Although it’s not clear from the report, the fact that the man fought back against his killers so valiantly and must have been totally spent physically and utterly disorintated beyond being able to make a defiant last protestation that was not in answer to a question spat contemptuously at his brave and bloddied face. .
London Jim says
. . So, there are several possibilities : maybe his tormentors told him to say out loud that he forgives them, and if that were the case and the response they were trying to elicit being ”forgive them []they know not what they do”, it would not have been to alay their own consciences, as they knew exactly what they were doing, and whether the victim was, or was not, a Christian, they intendd to portray the dominance of Mohoism over Xianity to a wider audience. Alternatively, someone in the crowd (?his accuser) may have asked, gloatingly satisfied that a dispute between them was nearing closure.

The last words this dear fellow exclaimed are of vital importance somehow.
