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

Qatar published fatwa in 2006 permitting burning people — removes it after IS burns pilot

It appears that Islam Web, a popular website owned by Qatar’s Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, may have been responsible for the rationale used by the Islamic State to burn alive a Jordanian pilot captive.

On February 7, 2006, the widely accessed Arabic website issued Fatwa No. 71480, titled “The Burning of Ias bin Abdul Yalil by Abu Bakr.”  The fatwa, or Islamic decree, concluded that burning people as a form of punishment is permissible.

Ironically, hours after the Islamic State burned the pilot alive, Fatwa No. 71480 was removed from Islam Web.

What is interesting to note is that the more recent fatwa issued by the Islamic State to justify the burning of the pilot makes the very same arguments as this 2006 Islam Web fatwa did — citing the same sources, hadiths, tafsirs, even the logic of “humility” — implying that IS may well have relied on this fatwa from the Qatari website when writing its own to burn the pilot alive — hence, why the fatwa has now “mysteriously” disappeared from Islam Web.

Incidentally, Islam Web won the World Summit Award of 2007, on the basis that it is “the best interactive edutainment website for Arabic-speaking children by the consensus of the Jury which met in Croatia, in evaluating the productions nominated from 160 countries.”… Click for translation and image of original Islam Web fatwa

    Qatar: The country from which Obama takes his orders. Is he on the payroll?

      Yes, indirectly, through laundered money from contributions to his election campaign. He has enough accountants that can hide it well.

    Oh, I don’t think iron played any part in it. I think it was a mix of plausible deniability and taqqyia.

    On second thought, only taqqyia.

    Further proof that islam can justify anything, even rewriting their religion.

    If you read the fatwa, you learn that Abu Bakr (who other than Muhammad’s first wife was his bankroller in chief) burned somebody to death for waging war against fellow Muslims. Then you’ll understand why ISIS chose this method of execution for the Jordanian pilot. The more Islamic texts you read, the more their terror tactics become clear.

    Wonder if Al Jazeera will publish his story? I think not.
