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

Tunisia: Islamic jihadists slash throat, murder police officer

Jan 4, 2015 5:57 pm By Robert Spencer

Tunisia-Police“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” Qur’an 47:4

As far as these Islamic jihadists are concerned, the police officers are unbelievers because they are working for an apostate regime.

“Suspected militants stab Tunisian policeman to death,” Reuters, January 4, 2015 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

(Reuters) – Suspected Islamist militants captured and killed a Tunisian police officer, stabbing him and slashing his throat as he traveled home off-duty south of the capital, the government said on Sunday.

Nine suspected militants were arrested after the officer was killed on Saturday night near El Fahes in the Zaghouan region, around 60 km (37 miles) southwest of Tunis, the interior ministry said.

Tunisia has been praised for its young democracy after its 2011 uprising toppled autocrat Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali and allowed free elections and a new constitution.

But Islamist militants are waging a campaign against security forces, who are trying to flush them out from the Chaambi mountains bordering Algeria.

Authorities are also worried about Islamist extremists using remote, desert areas of neighboring Libya as a base.

Tunisia is one of the Arab world’s most secular countries, but the North African state is also a key source of foreign jihadist fighters traveling to Syria and Iraq to join Islamic State militants and other extremist groups there.

      “So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah – never will He waste their deeds.” 47:4
      Put the whole thing.

    “… but the North African state is also a key source of foreign jihadist fighters traveling to Syria and Iraq to join Islamic State militants and other extremist groups there.” This is both true and unfortunate. The weakening of the state during the past 3 years contributed to this situation. Mosques were infiltrated by dangerous people with a jihadist agenda. They convinced young and hopeless men to go for Jihad in Syria with the promise of paradise and virgins. Even when these dangerous people are arrested, they are released soon after because islamists were in power for the past 3 years. The Tunisian people have most recently voted the islamists out. Great challenges await the new elected authorities but I truly believe the jihadist agenda has no future in Tunisia. The large majority of Tunisians strongly reject the islamist agenda.

      @ Brad

      “The Tunisian people have most recently voted the islamists out…The large majority of Tunisians strongly reject the islamist agenda.”

      The same happened in Egypt, Egyptians (both Muslims and Christians) threw the Muslim Brotherhood thugs out of power. They’ve done it for the same reason: they STRONGLY reject the islamist agenda.
      Despite of dozens of compromised poll centers telling us the opposite, it’s crystal clear that the large majority of Muslims, at least in these two countries, DO NOT want Sharia.

    In Cary, North Carolina a beat up store front Mosque in a run down plaza frequented by Scraggly bearded men in Islamic man dresses suddenly becomes a large glittering mosque a few blocks away.

    Where is the money coming from?
