Jihad Watch

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

Islamic State video showing Jordanian pilot burned alive titled with Qur’an quote

Feb 3, 2015 12:42 pm By Robert Spencer

KassasbehThe video is entitled, “Healing the Believers Chests.” That’s from the Qur’an: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you over them, heal the breasts of Believers.” (Qur’an 9:14) Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, who years ago tried to murder students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the name of Islam and jihad, also referenced this verse when explaining his actions.

And then there is this story from Muhammad’s conquest of Khaybar: “Kinana b. al-Rabi`, who had the custody of the treasure of B. al-Nadir, was brought to the apostle who asked him about it. He denied that he knew where it was. A Jew came (T. was brought) to the apostle and said that he had seen Kinana going round a certain ruin every morning early. When the apostle said to Kinana, ‘Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?’ he said Yes. The apostle gave orders that the ruin was to be excavated and some of the treasure was found. When he asked him about the rest he refused to produce it, so the apostle gave orders to al-Zubayr b. al-Awwam, ‘Torture him until you extract what he has,’ so he kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead. Then the apostle delivered him to Muhammad b. Maslama and he struck off his head, in revenge for his brother Mahmud.” (Ibn Ishaq 515).

And Muhammad is depicted in a hadith as saying: “Certainly I decided to order the Mu’adh-dhin (call-maker) to pronounce Iqama and order a man to lead the prayer and then take a fire flame to burn all those who had not left their houses so far for the prayer along with their houses.” (Bukhari 1.11.626)

Not that this has anything to do with Islam.

“BREAKING NEWS: Burned alive in a cage: ISIS release video claiming to show horrifying murder of captured Jordanian pilot,” by John Hall, MailOnline, February 3, 2015:

Militants fighting for the Islamic State terror group in Syria and Iraq have released a video they claim shows Jordanian pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh being burnt alive while locked in a cage.

The footage, which is titled ‘Healing the Believers Chests’ appears to show the captured airman wearing an orange jumpsuit as a trail of petrol leading up to the cage is seen being set alight.

Flames are seen quickly spreading to the cage where they completely engulf the helpless pilot in images that are far too distressing to publish.

Yesterday Jordan government spokesman Mohammed al-Momeni said the kingdom was doing ‘everything’ it could to secure the release of Kassasbeh, who was captured by ISIS after his F-16 fighter jet crashed in territory controlled by the militants in Syria in December.

However the statement came with an explicit threat that if ‘hero’ Kassasbeh came to any harm, Jordan would ‘quickly judge and sentence’ all those it holds on suspicion of being members of ISIS….

      @ Justin

      I’ve said it before, and some readers laughed at me. I don’t care. I’ll say it again and again:
      ISIS is made *in* and *by* the USA; the plot involved the CIA, the WH, the Muslim Brotherhood, Turkey and Qatar.
      I hope Americans will wake up in time. Elections won’t solve the problem. Obama and his gang must be removed BY FORCE. Not impeached, but rather arrested, brought to justice and, if convicted of high treason, EXECUTED.

        Salah, don’t forget Saudi Arabia and the many muslim ass licking republicans, like McCain, L Graham, Bob Dole and Bush Jr. On the Dem. side, Howard Dean, Dick Durbin, both Clintons, John Kerry, Pelosi, probably 20 more. They’re all in on it to.
        Justin, I’ve agreed before and here to. The WH wants Christians and Shiites destroyed in the Syria – Iraq turmoil. Our politicians, who are being influenced with oil money, could care less about the slaughter because they are a different type of Christian then the ones being murdered.
        When Obama leaves office the US Justice Department needs to have a Nuremberg type trial and bring all these complicit traitors to justice.
        Yes, we should continue to keep an eye on the barbarity of muslims but let’s rid our government of its muslim enablers.

    If you encounter a Muslim in the near future and decide to engage in serious conversation, consider opening with this :

    ” The name of god for ISIS is Allah, and Allah is also the name of your god, correct ? The Qur’an is the perfect word of Allah for ISIS, and the perfect word of Allah for you, correct ? Muhammad is a true prophet of Allah, and also a true prophet for you, correct ? A human being has been burned alive by ISIS, correct ?”

        Obama will never criticize Muslims because he is a Muslim.

        Any affiliation he had with the Christian faith as all for show and political appearances.

        His hatred of Israel and preventing the FBI from observing mosques and Muslims are all signs as to which side he is on

          For all intents and purposes, Obama is a Muslim. Everything he can do to support and benefit Muslims, he does. Everything he can do to hinder resistance to Islam, he does. He encourages obfuscation of the problem by refusing to call it by it by its name.

    Well, Mohammed himself built a fire on a man’s chest to find where treasure was. What’s instructive is how many in the MSM and others are manifesting their disgust with this latest atrocity by ISIS, completely oblvious of the fact that ISIS emulates Islam’s founder and carries out Koranic instructions unfailingly.

    While Obama and his minions in his administration are extra pathetic because they won’t even reference Islam and Muslims to describe the greatest curse of our age, way too many still use the redundant term, “radical Islam” in an effort to distinguish when no distinguishing is necessary or wise.

    What is and is not a proper belief of ISLAM is something on which I am not an expert. I am a Christian. However, there are respected Muslim scholars (notably Sheik Abdullah bin Bayyah) who declared a fatwa against this violence and denounce it as not Islamic. If you read the fatwa (which I did) you will see it is a piece of careful religious argument, very textually based. I am inclined to belief the Sheik. Islam is one of the world’s great religions and has inspired countless people in their quest for God. I cannot believe it is at heart, evil.

    The insanity we see from ISIS and Islamic extremists is pure politics. The leader of ISIS has time and again shown he cares nothing for ISLAM or the opinions of the world. He is out to create shock and to recruit young disillusioned Muslims.

    What is sad is that mankind has moved so little forward from the barbarism of our entire history. I feel disgusted even thinking the members of ISIS are human beings. It is hard to believe. The fault is not in our religions… but in our natures.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      I respectfully disagree: islam most certainly is NOT one of the world’s great religions; and quite frankly, I am stunned that a professing Christian, like yourself, would state something so completely false and misleading.

      I am a Christian, and when I compare the life of Jesus vs muhammad, I notice an immeasurable difference between them. Here is one such comparison for you to consider reading:

      A Comparison between Jesus and Muhammad
      by Matt Slick

      Following is a chart that shows some of the strong differences between Jesus and Mohammed. The Muslims revere Mohammed as the greatest of prophets, yet Jesus clearly demonstrated greater authority, teaching, and miracles than Mohammed ever did. Why would anyone want to follow Mohammed over Jesus when Jesus claimed to be divine, performed many miracles, said he alone was the truth, raised people from the dead, and rose from the dead himself; and Mohammed did none of these things. However, Mohammed did have people killed, spread his religion through war, married a very young girl and had relations with her when she was nine years of age, and taught hatred of Jews and Christians.

      What? Did you not read what Mr. Spencer wrote at the beginning of the account of this man being burned alive? Did you not read that he quoted from the book all devout muslims claim as the basis for their *religion*?
      The members of isis…is…isil…and all other groups that are doing similar things, boko harem, al queda, etc., all use the same book with the same words and to one degree or another, follow the commands therein.
      And the muslims who have not, as yet, engaged in such atrocities, but wish to shut the mouths of those who tell of the evil that is inherent in islam…islam itself is evil…worship of all things evil and barbaric…are enabling the beastly actions of is and other groups around the world.

      Go to your public library, or get on the internet, and search out the many books written by Mr. Spencer and learn what islam is all about. If not that, look in the archives of this site. Learn and then you will know….islam is evil! It has no redeeming qualities, nothing to recommend it as a religion to follow.

      ‘Tara’ says:

      ”What is and is not a proper belief of ISLAM is something on which I am not an expert. I am a Christian.”

      As Champ points out, the differences in the character of mohammed and Christ, are manifold. Also the character of ‘allah’, as portrayed in the koran, and the character of the Biblical God.

      If you really are a Christian, then before commenting on ”What is and is not a proper belief of ISLAM”, it would be a good idea to at least read the koran, and the life of mohammed. Then you would be in a position to comment, intelligently, from knowledge.

      ”Islam is one of the world’s great religions and has inspired countless people in their quest for God. I cannot believe it is at heart, evil.”

      The fact that you ”cannot believe it” is an even stronger reason for you to read the koran for yourself. Judge for yourself how it lines up with the New Testament.

      ”The insanity we see from ISIS and Islamic extremists is pure politics.”

      Only to the extent that islam is a **political system** as well as a ‘religion’. In islam, there is no separation of church and state, as there is in the West. In islam. religion *is* the state, (sharia) therefore your distinction holds no meaning in terms of Islamic ideology.

      ”The leader of ISIS has time and again shown he cares nothing for ISLAM … ”

      On the contrary, ISIS *frequently* quotes from the koran, and the hadith, in order to justify its atrocities. In case you hadn’t noticed, this latest atrocity, the burning alive of the Jordanian pilot, is *also* justified by a koranic quote.

      ”The leader of ISIS has time and again shown he cares nothing for … the opinions of the world.”

      This is certainly true. Why ? Because pious muslims believe they are the ”best of peoples”, and everyone else is inferior; the koran tells them that *anything* is justified if it furthers the hegemony of islam. Your choice will be – convert, die, or ”become a dhimmi, pay the jizya, and feel yourself subdued.”

      ”He is out to create shock and to recruit young disillusioned Muslims.”

      Creating shock is certainly a motivation; mohammed said; ”I have been made victorious through terror”. The IS is attempting to terrorise all non-muslims, by carrying out, and publicising such vile atrocities. ( Which are mirrored in the actions of mohammed).

      Why do you think such evil doings would ”recruit young disillusioned muslims” ? Would this sort of thing result in the recruitment of young Christians, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, or any other religion ? However ‘disillusioned’ they might be ? If not, why not ? Might it be because this sort of violence is **intrinsic** to islam, and the call to **supremacy** it invokes ?

      ”The fault is not in our religions… but in our natures.”

      Really ? Then why is islam the **only** religion, in the world **today**, that is carrying out these horrific atrocities ?

      No-one disputes that human beings are capable of committing all sorts of horrors against each other; but surely the point should be that it is **only islam and its adherents** that are carrying them out, **in the name, and according to the tenets, of their **religion**. Because the religion of islam is the only religion in the world that *commands* the subjection, death, or slavery of **all** who refuse to accept it.

      If you are truly sincere, then I suggest you learn something about islam, and what it demands of its adherents. An excellent place to begin would be by reading ”islam 101” which you can find at the top of the page.

      Then move onto reading the Koran for yourself, then the life of mohammed, then the ahadith.

      When you have done that, you will be in a position to say something about islam, from a position of knowledge, rather than wishful thinking.

        Hello to Tara —- ( & huge thanks, Mirren10, for taking the time and energy required by this comprehensive refutation ).

        Tara, I understand that you certainly have the good heart and soul of a Christian, thus enormously resistant to believing that Islam could be — at its essence — controlling, subjugating, and violent against resistant “Infidels”.

        And furthermore, if you read and hear the abundant distraction of “Islamophobe” regarding Robert Spencer’s truth-telling expertise ( and so distrust his assertions ), here are four ABSOLUTELY SUPERB FACTUAL RESOURCES to visit :

The first two mentioned above are especially gentle with visitors who simply cannot conceive of — as a cliché often puts it “one of the world’s Abrahamic monotheisms” — being starkly different from Judaism and Christianity.

          @Tara, Champ, jihad3tracker, Mirren:

          Tara wrote:
          “Islam is one of the world’s great religions and has inspired countless people in their quest for God. I cannot believe it is at heart, evil.”

          Tara, how can Islam, which says Jesus is only a human prophet, square with so many of Jesus’ statements?

          But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of palsy) I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house” (Mark 2:9–said and done before people who challenged him, asking how nay save God alone may forgive sins).

          “Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58–cf. Ex. 3:14).

          “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6)

          “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep” (Jn. 10:11).

          “The Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

          I appreciate Tara’s evident desire to be charitable, and freely admit that I covet a more charitable heart. But if Islam inspires people in a quest for God, it leads to a place very different from where Jesus Christ would have us go. Where Jesus Christ offers a salvation which he won for us through his positive righteousness, his atoning death on the cross, and resurrection from the dead, Islam offers us only a checklist of good deeds to perform. Where in Christ God has come near to us through becoming man, Islam has only a distant deity. Further, about any “search for God”, let us always remember that Jesus Christ came to seek and save that which was lost (Luke 19:10)–and that means us. Jesus did not send us to “find God”, but came as God finding us.

          It is perfectly alright to love Muslims and pursue peace and fairness with them as much as it is up to us. I wish I had a fiver for every Muslim whom I have liked as a person. I teach a number of Muslim students–some of whom have been and are downright grateful to the USA for providing a good home. But my prayer for all such people is that God would be merciful to them and open their hearts and minds to God’s Gospel of grace (and so I pray for all).

          They consider themselves to be muslims, and they back their actions with quotes from islamic sources, including the life of muhammad. Why should we not consider them to be muslims?

          “THEY R DOING FOR MONEY ,POLITICS,PHYSICAL EARNING…”

          Which, according to islamic sources, is the earthly reward of those who fight in allah’s cause.

          Nope. Most probably, they’re muslims acting in accordance to islamic teachings.

          Can I give quotes from islamic sources proving you wrong or are you go to say “NOT VALID”, like with Al-Tabari?

          “EITHER THESE JUST A PLAY ,MEDIA MAKING LIE OR SOME ACT OF SOME BRAIN DEAD PPL”

          Talking is cheap. Prove any of those assertions, otherwise I’m going to keep believing in my eyes and ears.

          I’ve done that. Last time you simply said “AL-TABARI: NOT VALID”. You’re not actually willing to debate anything, you’re just trying to whitewash islam and blame actions of muslims acting upon islamic orthodoxy on someone else.

          “PLZ NOT USE THE WORD ISLAM,JIHAD,MUSLIM ,WHILE U TALKING ABOUT TERRORIST”

          Tell that to the muslim terrorists waging jihad and quoting sources from orthodox islam to defend their actions…

          4:94. O you who believe! When you go (to fight) in the Cause of Allâh, verify (the truth), and say not to anyone who greets you (by embracing Islâm): “You are not a believer”; seeking the perishable goods of the worldly life. There are much more profits and booties with Allâh. Even as he is now, so were you yourselves before till Allâh conferred on you His Favors (i.e. guided you to Islâm), therefore, be cautious in discrimination. Allâh is Ever Well Aware of what you do.
          33:19. Being miserly towards you (as regards help and aid in Allâh’s Cause). Then when fear comes, you will see them looking to you, their eyes revolving like (those of) one over whom hovers death, but when the fear departs, they will smite you with sharp tongues, miserly towards (spending anything in any) good (and only covetous of booty and wealth). Such have not believed. Therefore Allâh makes their deeds fruitless, and that is ever easy for Allâh.
          48: 15. Those who lagged behind will say, when you set forth to take the spoils, “Allow us to follow you,” They want to change Allâh’s Words. Say: “You shall not follow us; thus Allâh has said beforehand.” Then they will say: “Nay, you envy us.” Nay, but they understand not except a little.
          3:14. Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world’s life; but Allâh has the excellent return (Paradise with flowing rivers, etc.) with Him
          18: 46. Wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world. But the good righteous deeds (five compulsory prayers, deeds of Allâh’s obedience, good and nice talk, remembrance of Allâh with glorification, praises and thanks, etc.), that last, are better with your Lord for rewards and better in respect of hope.
          20: 131. And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh), the splendour of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting.
          26: 109. “No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islâmic Monotheism), my reward is only from the Lord of the ‘Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
          26: 127. “No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islâmic Monotheism), my reward is only from the Lord of the ‘Alamîn (mankind, jinns, and all that exists).

      “there are respected Muslim scholars (notably Sheik Abdullah bin Bayyah) who declared a fatwa against this violence and denounce it as not Islamic. If you read the fatwa (which I did) you will see it is a piece of careful religious argument, very textually based. ”

      Oh, I’m sure his fatwa was a piece of very careful pseudo-argument, riddled and bristling with sly loophoes, irrelevant generalities, double-meanings, half-truths, and the occasional fact tossed in.

      1- This guys Fatwa is a form of stealth Jihad. In Islam Muslims are instructed to lie to advance their cause and this is one of them.
      2- Islam is not a religion as you are stating. It is a way of life. A political and military ideology and it is expansionist.
      3- There is no insanity in ISIS. They are doing exactly what their book says to do and what their pedophile prophet told them to do.
      4- You said you are a Christan do you see that the Christains and the rest of the minorities in Muslim countires are being slaughtered?
      5- Why don’t you an English version of the Koran. Once you do you will be enlightened by how violent this ideology is. M

      Feb 3, 2015 at 5:44 pm

      Tara I doubt very much that you are a Christian. Also you are not very well informed when it comes to Islam.

      Like the others who have responded, I suggest that you either get a copy of the Koran and read it, or you spend time online learning the truth about Islam.

      Someone has pointed out that there are a number of differences between Jesus and Mohammed, but the reference cited is somewhat weak in my opinion.

      I would note the following:

      1. Islam means Peace but Peace in Islam means SUBMISSION.
      Jesus did not come into the world to force people to submit to his teachings. Jesus offered Himself up for the ultimate Sacrifice like a sacrificial lamb.

      2. Mohammed was a brutal man who slaughtered hundreds of people. Jesus was a gentle person who had love for everyone, including his enemies. At the point of dying Jesus said : Father forgive them because they do not know what they are doing.

      3. Despite what some are claiming, based upon heretical texts, Jesus did not marry. Jesus did not have sex with a 9 year old girl or with any animals. Jesus did not have multiple wives… and Jesus was not married to Mary of Magdala. Mohammed on the other hand married a little girl who was 6 years old at the time. He then had sex with her when she was 9 years old.

      4. Islam is built upon men being warriors spreading hatred and terror. Christianity was built upon setting an example to others. The mere fact that over time Christians have failed to meet the high standards of the Sermon the Mount is the fault of man, not of God, or Jesus Christ.

      5. Christians believe in God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit – three entities or persons in one God. Islam does not have this belief.

      6. In the eyes of IS we are all kaffir. We are the enemy and therefore we deserve to die.

      With regard to the fatwa, that was done for our benefit.

No wonder all Muslims do is kill, murder, loot, invade, enslave, .. There was not a single evil act that this “prophet” has not done himself, murder, beheading, incest, pedophile, invade, loot steal, cheat, threaten, intimidate, terrorize.. to name a few acts.

In my history class and yes I am a United states born citizen and a baptist and yet I understand that not even being an adult yet that the Islamic faith is s quality religio not what I believe in but is a peacefully religion with RADICAL believers. If you are to say there are no radical Christians that’d be a lie. We have “Christians” who torture gays. To be perfectly honest Muslims aren’t evil its this who miss interpret and use the religion as means of creating violence and disruption so first look at what your saying and realize your being prejudice the same way you did it during the civil right movement to blacks.

          Oh really? Is that a fact? Can you prove I never studied any religion?

          “In my history class”

          Huh, you consider history class as “studying a religion”?

          “and yes I am a United states born citizen and a baptist and yet I understand that not even being an adult yet that the Islamic faith is s quality religio not what I believe in but is a peacefully religion with RADICAL believers.”

          A religion that has a doctrine justifying warfare against non-believers is a “peacefully religion”?

          “If you are to say there are no radical Christians that’d be a lie. We have “Christians” who torture gays.”

          The tenets of a religion are defined not by what its followers do but by what its texts say. Do Christian texts say to torture gays? Do islamic texts say to wage warfare against non-muslims until they convert to islam, pay the jizya or are killed?

          “To be perfectly honest Muslims aren’t evil”

          If someone is slicing my neck because his religion says so whether he’s evil or not is a moot point – evil is as evil does.

          “its this who miss interpret and use the religion as means of creating violence and disruption”

          Huh, the quran says “slay the infidel wherever you find them”. How is a muslim acting upon that “misinterpreting” islam?

          “so first look at what your saying and realize your being prejudice the same way you did it during the civil right movement to blacks.”

          Nope. False equivalence. Black people were discriminated against because of the colour of their skin. Muslims nowadays don’t face organized, state-enforced negative discrimination like the blacks did. In fact, they have a privileged status – they breaks for prayer which non-muslims don’t have, foot baths at airports, etc.

          “Yes I am black”

          Then go study islam and see how blacks were treated by muslims.

          “and on top of that I find it disgusting that some of you blame all Muslims.”

          Who did that?

          “Your part of the scum of the earth yourselves”

          ALL of us? You mean to say that you find disgusting that someone here painted all muslims with the same brush and then you proceed to paint everyone here with the same brush?

          You’re a baptist, eh? OK then, answer these questions:

          1 – Do muslims believe that Jesus is the son of God?
          2 – Do muslims believe he died in the cross?
          3 – Do muslims believe he resurrected?
          4 – Do you worship Mary as part of the Trinity?
          5 – Do you believe that Jesus said to worship Mary as part of the Trinity?

          If you studied islam then you should be able to answer all of those questions.

          On what possible basis can you assume that negative comments about islam are made by white/Caucasuian people ?

          Really, you have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about the ethnicity of people who comment here, unless they choose to tell you ! What a silly remark.

          ” … but let’s just point out the fact that you haven’t actually studied the religion.”

          On the contrary; most people here have actually read the koran, the ahadith, and the sunnah, and the sira. I would bet a very large sum of money that *you* have not done any of this reading, and have absolutely no knowledge of islam beyond what some smiling, friendly, muslim friends have chosen to tell you.

          ”In my history class and yes I am a United states born citizen and a baptist and yet I understand that not even being an adult yet that the Islamic faith is s quality religio not what I believe in but is a peacefully religion with RADICAL believers”

          You really need to develop a critical faculty, and not believe blindly everything you are told. Apart from anything else, it is a very dangerous frame of mind in which to go through life on. If I told you that Satanism was a ”quality religion”, or a ”peaceful religion with RADICAL believers”, would you just accept what I say ? If I told you that Communism was a ‘quality’ political belief, and that anyone who imprisoned and murdered those who disagreed, were simply RADICAL believers, would you accept that ?

          You say you are not yet an adult. Well, times and teenagers must have changed radically, since *I* was a teenager, When I was a teenager, I wouldn’t have dreamed of accepting blindly and verbatim what any adult told me. I would have assumed, ipso facto, they were telling me the establishment line, and have researched thoroughly their diktats, primarily for the pleasure of proving them wrong.

          You, on the other hand, seem content to swallow blindly whatever any adult tells you, without trying to find out if there is any contrary evidence ! 🙂 Well, you are clearly a good little drone.

          ”If you are to say there are no radical Christians that’d be a lie. We have “Christians” who torture gays.”

          You obviously haven’t been taught how to present a logical argument. When engaged in a debate, anyone who makes an assertion, as you have just done, is required to provide **proof** of the assertion. Which you haven’t done. So, no-one is under any obligation to take you seriously. If you have proof of what you say, then present it, and we can then have a discussion !

          ”To be perfectly honest Muslims aren’t evil its this who miss interpret and use the religion as means of creating violence and disruption so first look at what your saying and realize your being prejudice the same way you did it during the civil right movement to blacks.”

          Well, first of all, few people here would say that ”muslims are evil”. We certainly believe that they believe in an evil **ideology**, but thankfully, not all muslims are prepared to carry out the evil commands of their religion, in its entirety. muslims are human beings, like all of us. Some are good, some are bad, some are evil, some are just ordinary.

          But when some of them decide to take their religion seriously, that’s when they become dangerous.

          You say you’re a Baptist. I don’t know how devout you are, but if you were a bit of a backslider, but then decided to take your faith more seriously, would that lead you to decide the first thing you must do is to build a bomb and murder lots and lots of people who **weren’t** Baptists ? I’m sure you are far too decent a person, to commit such an atrocity, for your *faith*. Because, of course, your faith doesn’t demand that you do such a thing, does it ?

          Now, ask yourself why so many young muslims, who decide to take *their* faith more seriously, decide that means they must murder those who are *not* muslim. islam demands that those who refuse to accept it, either convert, die, or live as second class citizens and pay a tax to the Islamic state. Can you see a very big, serious difference here ?

          Are you really prepared to defend a faith that demands such cruel things from those who believe it ?

          ” … look at what your saying and realize your being prejudice the same way you did it during the civil right movement to blacks. Yes I am black”

          Sweetheart, you’re being black, purple, green, or pink with white polka dots is entirely **irrelevant**.

          The black slave trade was a vicious and horrible horror, but it was not something that was carried out only by white people. The trade in African slaves was begun by the Arabs, and still continues today. Yes, white people were horribly to blame for the evil and horror of their part in it. but, if you are in truth a student of history, then unless you are being comprehensively lied to, and haven’t the chutzpah to find out the facts, you should know, yourself, that the **abolition** of the slave trade was carried out by **white, Christian people**, who recognised its evil, and **stopped** it.

          Have you ever heard of William Wilberforce ? Google him. Find out what he did. There is **no** comparative person in islam. Think about that.

          ” I find it disgusting that some of you blame all Muslims. ”

          Well, I don’t think most people here blame **all** muslims for the horrors many of them perpetrate in the name of their religion.

          But, I will leave you with this thought; how much credence should anyone put in the ultimate humanity and goodness, of those who believe in a creed which teaches them that they are ”the best of peoples”, and that everyone else is scum ? (By the way, muslims believe that black people are ‘abeed’ ie: slaves) How much should you believe in people who say that anyone who disbelieves in ‘allah’ is worthy of death ?

          First, it is a good thing to learn while one is still young….never assume anything.

          Second, the past history of blacks in America is no reason to defend islam and to declare that, because there were slaves…White, Black and Asian, by the way…in America this makes what any whites say about islam is wrong.

          Even if someone living now…boy, they would be old…had owned slaves in the past history of America, that fact would not disqualify that person from acknowledging the evil that is islam. But, my guess is, no one who commented about the evils of islam has ever owned slaves…black or otherwise…in the U.S.

          My last point is this: You state that you are Christian. So you should know of and be familiar with what the Apostle Peter said in 1Peter 3:15: “Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and….always be ready to give an answer to every man that asks a reason for the hope in you…”
          Defend your own faith, not the evils of islam. If a muslim doesn’t think it is okay to steal, kill and destroy as isis and others are doing, they should defend their faith.

      Give Islam a chance — via ISIS — and Allah’s Army will definitely make Nazism look like a trip to Disneyland.

      And, as I have written in previous comments, ISIS is essentially saying to taqiyya bullcrappers CAIR and its pals :

      ” WE TRUE JIHADISTS DO NOT NEED NO F*CKIN STEALTH TIMETABLE ! ! ! OUR ISLAM IS RIGHT FROM THE QUR’AN, ASSHOLES ! ! ! “

    This pilot was raining fire down on them, burning and killing their people, so in addition to the hadith Robert cites, Qur’an 5:45 also sanctions immolating him (“… a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution.”).

    There is no honor in dying for the delight of your enemies, and it is obvious your government will do nothing for you unless it suites them politically. So you might as well go out in the fashion that suites you best. In the end it really doesn’t matter to anyone except you, your brothers and your family.

    Robert Spencer quotes the Kinana episode but isn’t there another hadith in which one of the first caliph Abu Bakr’s men reports how he burned the enemy and Abu Bakr said “I wouldn’t have done that because burning is Mo’s (or Allah’s?) prerogative?

    Probably got the details confused. Does anyone here know it?

    Anyway this is just one more way in which IS are emulating Mo and Abu Bakr (amputation, crucifixion, beheading, forced conversions, killing the wrong kind of Muslims ie takfir, sex-slavery etc).

    The most crucial thing is for the direct connection between IS and Mo’s Islam to become common knowledge so that our leaders’ absurd denials are drowned in ridicule.

        The Prophet Muhammad, the Messenger of Mercy, did not prescribe war as a natural state of affairs, and at the same time, war cannot simply be abolished. What any reformer or spiritual leader can do is minimize its brutality. The Messenger of Mercy, at God’s direction, attempted to establish rules of warfare that would make war as humane as possible, to encourage peace and to minimize the priceless cost of human lives.

        The Prophetic approach to war can be better appreciated by looking at some figures. The Messenger of Mercy was forced to defend himself militarily on many occasions, yet the amount of human loss that resulted is surprisingly low given similar battles and wars in human history. From a total of 28 battles and 38 campaigns, the total casualties from those wars, including both sides, amounted to approximately 1 284 lives.

        Someone can argue that the reason for the decreased numbers of causalities is because of the smaller number of combatants that participated in the various campaigns. But a careful examination shows that the percentage of people killed in these wars relative to the number of the people who participated in them amounted to about 1.5 percent. Since the Messenger of Mercy was victorious in most of these battles, the numbers of casualties indicate that he is not to be counted among the ruthless and barbaric warlords, conquerors, and military generals of human history – and in fact, far from it.

        Compare the above numbers to other wars in human history. For example, in the Second World War alone, the relationship between the amount of people killed (including civilians) to the amount of combatants who were involved in that war was 351%. That is, 10 600 000 participated in that war yet the amount of human deaths were as high as 54 800 000.

        Contrary to promoting barbaric warfare, the Messenger of Mercy brought sweeping changes to the conduct of war, radically limiting the means and use of violence against others. Much like today, the Messenger of Mercy lived in a world in which brutal warfare was rampant. Like the Roman and Persian empires of that time, and the empires of today, the Arab tribes primarily engaged in battle for material gains rather than for any higher, moral purpose. The Messenger of Mercy, however, would change that radically.

        The Messenger of Mercy stressed the observance of several important moral principles even during the tumult of warfare. First, he fundamentally redefined the basic understanding and concept of war. By introducing an entirely new term – jihad fee sabil Allah – he purified warfare from its purely material or vested interests and self-serving motives. Jihad means “struggle” and for one to carry a concerted effort to remove the injustices and oppression imposed by others. By adding “in the way of Allah” (fee sabil Allah), he taught that war must not be waged for the sake of the self, of spoils, pride, prestige, subjugation, or oppressing other people. This belief served as the glue holding the principles of warfare together and reining in all potential injustices inherent within it.

        Under this new conception of war, the Messenger of Mercy introduced a comprehensive set of laws that encompassed the conduct of war: its moral boundaries, components, rights, and obligations; the difference between combatants and non-combatants and their rights; and the right of envoys, prisoners of war, and conquered people. All of these principles were expressed clearly and unequivocally by the Messenger of Mercy.

        The Messenger of Mercy also underscored the sanctity and inviolability of human life, be it Muslim or non-Muslim. He embodied the Qur’anic verse: “If anyone slays a human being – unless it be [in punishment] for murder or for spreading corruption on earth – it shall be as though he had slain all humanity” (5:32). Through this divine instruction, the Messenger of Mercy purified war from all selfish motives and inferior objectives. His followers, although they certainly were – and still are – prone to great errors, were remarkable exemplars of these principles in general.

        The Messenger of Mercy prohibited the robbery, banditry, and vandalism that had been commonplace in wars before his time. For example, after the Khaybar peace treaty had been signed, some of the new, young Muslims started looting Jewish property. The Jewish leader came to the Messenger of Mercy and asked: “Is it appropriate for your people to slaughter our donkeys, devour our crops, and beat our women?” Suddenly, the Messenger of Mercy ordered the entire army into the mosque for prayer and told them: “Allah did not permit you to enter the People of the Book’s houses without permission and to beat their women and eat their crops”. If a milking animal is found on the way and soldiers want to take its milk, they cannot do so unless permission is granted. Therefore, even in warfare, the Messenger of Mercy stressed the importance of the rule of law and respect for the property and rights of others, which is far more than we can see in modern wars.

        In the past, armies destroyed crops, farmland and property, and even entire villages. But the Messenger of Mercy prohibited killing all non-combatants, such as women, children, the old, the sick, the wounded, the blind, the disabled, the mentally unwell, travelers, monks, and worshippers. In fact, he only permitted killing those in the front lines; everyone behind them was protected from attack. Remarkably, the Messenger of Mercy here grants far more than what is stated in theories of just war today. Once the Messenger of Mercy saw a woman’s corpse on the battlefield and became very upset. He therefore ordered his commander, Khalid ibn al-Walid: “Do not kill women or labourers…” Moreover, the Messenger of Mercy specifically commanded Muslims not to kill monks or worshippers, and not to destroy places of worship.

        Before Islam, both Arabs and non-Arabs, in the heat of vengeance, habitually burned their enemies alive. The Messenger of Mercy categorically prohibited this: “Nobody should punish with fire except the Lord of Fire (God)”. He also forbade desecrating and mutilating the enemies’ corpses by cutting off their limbs.

        The Messenger of Mercy prohibited the killing of prisoners of war, declaring that: “No wounded person will be killed, no one who flees will be followed…”

        The Messenger of Mercy also stated that one cannot breach one’s trust and kill those with whom peace has been made. No peace treaty should be violated: “If you have made a treaty with a people, you cannot make any changes or alterations until it expires…”

        Today, in a time of constant war under pretexts of pre-emptive strikes, these teachings demonstrate his just personality – a Messenger for our time.

        The Messenger of Mercy tried his utmost to reduce human casualties to marginal amounts. Anyone who studies the Messenger of Mercy’s wars objectively and compares that with other wars in human history including the wars of our modern times (such as the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the War on Terror) can easily conclude that his wars were the least bloody – and most humane.

          Messenger of Mercy? How many lepers did Muhammad cure? How many blind men did he make see? Muhammad killed maybe only a thousand or two? I’m not impressed with that kind of mercy. Now if he had raised from the dead any of those he had killed, I might be willing to say that he showed some mercy. But there aren’t any stories that he ever did such a thing, are there? So, please, your “Messenger of Mercy” title just makes me want to gag.

          By the way, can you tell me how many people have been killed so far after Muhammad’s death as a result of his “message?” Muhammad is probably the only man in history who has killed more people after his death than he ever killed while he was still alive. “Messenger of Mercy.” HA!

          S_H, the Messenger of Mercy (a misnomer) seems unable to be merciful to everyone. Muhammad (lately contrived: full of lusts) murdered, raped, deceived, adulterated …. this grotesque of a human thug was vengeful and cruel.

          your messenger deserved no mercy, yet, the One, Unique, God has been merciful to even the undeserving through the One Anointed, which your “noble” Koran (shepherd of the mosque) disparages – even blasphemes.

          Muhammad, if he even lived, would be classified among the “underserving,” and thus one forgiven of his guilt for numerous SINS, should he have turned from his erroneous ways to embrace the One Anointed..

          same for you … and me … and many (did you know that the mosque is porous, that many like that idea of underserved mercy among you brotherhood?)

Nor should any try to reason with them. For these Islamic villains of ISIS neither understand or care about reason. The only language that the ISIS characters will understand is the language of being on the receiving end of a strong power of military might.

    Islam is a perversion of religion. Satan was jealous of the pre-existing monotheism of Judeo-Christian ideology and the demon wanted his own “religion.” Since he is the Great Deceiver, Satan invented Islam and Mohammed was the dupe who perverted the concept of monotheisim. What has Islam accomplished since it was invented?…Torture, war, murder, terror, forced conversions and violation of basic human rights with the goal of the destruction of mankind.

    What we need is a mass exorcism of Islam…”There is only one”….not different shades of evil.
