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

Lebanese Christian converts to Islam, blows himself up for Islamic State

Mar 7, 2015 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic StateOnce Haddad converted to Islam, he probably came into the company of people who affirmed their love for death. And so his jihad-martyrdom suicide attack is no surprise.

Islamic supremacists frequently affirm how much they love death. Austrian Muslim teenage girls who recently traveled to Syria for jihad announced: “Death is our goal.” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said: “I’m even longing for death, you vagabond.” A Muslim child preacher recently taunted those he has been taught to hate most: “Oh Zionists, we love death for the sake of Allah, just as much as you love life for the sake of Satan.” Jihad mass murderer Mohamed Merah said that he “loved death more than they loved life.”

Ayman al-Zawahiri’s wife advised Muslim women: “I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a love for religion and death.” And as one jihadist put it, “We love death. You love your life!” And another: “The Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death.” That was from Afghan jihadist Maulana Inyadullah.

This idea comes from the Qur’an: Say, “O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allah, excluding the people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful.” (62:6)

“Man from Christian family turns into ISIS suicide bomber,” The Daily Star, February 27, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

TRIPOLI, Lebanon: When 28-year-old Charlie Sleiman Haddad showed up at the office of the mukhtar of Tripoli’s neighborhood of Zahrieh George Atieh four months ago to get a passport, the latter did not know that the young man intended to go to Turkey to join ISIS.

Charlie left for Turkey and was never heard from again but Lebanese security forces received information that he had died carrying out a suicide mission in Iraq for ISIS.

Instead of making his story known, the security forces decided to keep it hidden, family members said, to protect Charlie’s two brothers, one of whom is an officer with the Internal Security Forces and another a training cadet at the military school.

An As-Safir report published Thursday reported that Charlie visited Turkey twice, where he received military training from ISIS before he departed for Syria, according to statements given by his brother during interrogations with Army intelligence.

Charlie is the second Lebanese Christian known to have joined ISIS’ ranks. George Nabih Dibeh, 23, who disappeared a few days ago, is suspected of having joined ISIS in Iraq.

In January, Elie Tony al-Warraq, a 22-year-old Christian resident of Tripoli’s impoverished neighborhood of Qibbeh, was one of three people the Lebanese Army announced had been arrested in connection to a twin suicide blast that targeted a cafe in the Jabal Mohsen neighborhood.

Atieh told The Daily Star about the details of what happened from the moment Charlie disappeared to the measures taken by security forces to track the young man.

“The [Haddad] parents are very good people and this case is not worthy of them,” Atieh said.

The two Christian men who joined ISIS had converted to Islam before departing, shocking their families and neighbors….

    Charlie left for Turkey and was never heard from again but Lebanese security forces received information that he had died carrying out a suicide mission in Iraq for ISIS.

    And he uttered Je suis Charlie as he pushed the button to bye bye land. Many Leb Christians speak French, you know. Ha ha.

    Looking at the New Caliphate, I gotta say that Moslems have a great marketing program. Not only are they able to sell people on conversion, they’re able to sell them on self-detonation. That’s some high tech sales technique right there. To pull of a mass murder, to be sure.

      It would likely be a whole lot easier to be a Muslim, if Islam and its demon seed Muhammad had more than just the flimsiest of evidence to establish its credibility.

      “Thou Muslims doth protest too much.”
      Yet, some non-Muslims are still puzzled as to why Muslims feel such a need to blow themselves up or go out on murderous rampages acting as if shouting Islam’s Allahu akbar were to somehow be able to make it come true.

      I am puzzled that more Muslims don’t blow themselves up.

    It would be fine with me if Muslims decide to kill themselves if there is no one around, like blowing themselves up in the middle of an empty field- or if they decide to blow up other Jihadists.

    In the words of Pat Condell, maybe what these Muslims need to do is buy an inflatable woman and blow her up

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Mar 7, 2015 at 10:17 am

      But if this guy blew himself up in an empty field, his Je suis Charlie would be as insincere as those tens of thousands of placards across Paris. For proper Jihad, ya gotta do mass murder. That’s a central Islamic concept, that’s why only mujahidin are admitted to the Islam porno heaven Jannat.

    Why are they referring to these people as “lebanese christians”? The moment they joined that death cult called islam they no longer have anything to do with Christ.

    also, the verse from the Koran, that has got to be one of the stupidest things i’ve ever read. So if you’re on the truthful side, you should wish for death? Seems that logic isn’t Allah’s forte.

    • somehistory says

      Mar 7, 2015 at 12:28 pm

      Just what I was thinking. No longer, if ever a true Christian in the real meaning of the term, once they *convert* to the worship of satan.

      And the whole *loving death* thing just proves how miserable a person is who worships the false god satan, leader of all blood thirsty demons. If it was just *loving death* they would only kill themselves, but satan pushes them to kill innocent people to satisfy his lusts.

    ” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said: ‘I’m even longing for death, you vagabond.’ ”

    I love the history-mindedness of these jihadis, with their revival of the slang
    and music of decades past, like “I’m Just a Vagabond Lover of Death”:

    Islam is a mental illness similar to the Stockholm syndrome. This case of transformation into a psychopathic murderer and suicide should be studied by psychologists.

    Bill, I admire the commitment of this young “warrior”. In fact, in the spirit of cross-culteral cooperation we americans should help bring these fine young men to the thing they love.

    Considering the quality military training given to ISIS sadists maybe the best thing we could do is send them all of the defective ammo we have. Watching these idiots blowing themselves up with ammunition that one can see is not is very good shape is a howler. The latest from the Kurds is somebody building and IED, he is sliding a 120mm Russian mortar into a tube, Big explosion. You don’t suppose the Russian’s are already sending crappy ammo. Maybe; you can just read, Удар их джихад задницу в рай боеприпасы on the mortar shell just before the big Ka-Booooooom.

  9. The Countess says

    Mar 7, 2015 at 11:26 am

    Translation: they don’t see any reason to live, they just want a _personally enriching reason_ to die.

    Within the notion is the fact that building something usually involves the destruction of something else as in kill an animal and eat it to promote your own life, which is morally permissible in Christian ethics on the grounds of self-defense.

    As with other things, the fallacy rests with a failure to respect all creation on the notion that superiority equates to the freedom to do as one pleases, and that’s superiority especially in the form of power.

    Here again is yet another example of the murderous evil and madness that is the result of blind faith in the absurd and far-fetched teachings of the Koran with its doctrine of a sex -filled paradise with many virgins,houris, in it for the male Muslim who dies for the cause of Islam .Some example of this outlandish and odd Koranic doctrine are in in this “holy book” in Sura 44:54.55:56. 78:31. This strange ,weird and bizarre Koranic doctrine has been the cause of much murder and mayhem. In other words, this nonsensical Islamic[Koranic] belief in such a place causes a lot of violence and death. To explain this type of thing by another way, the words of the French philosopher, Voltaire, may apply. For Voltaire wrote. “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”

    I am going to start to call ISIS, the “Daesh”. It is an Arabic acronym which means the same thing Al Dawla al-Islamyia fil Iraq wa’al Sham. It is coming into general use in the Middle East it is a term of contempt, the plural is daw’aish which has come to mean “bigots who impose their views on others”. ISIS hates the term because is takes “Islam” out of there name in the western world. The PM of Australia Tony Abbott has announced that from now he will refer to the Islamic State group as “Daesh” because they hate being referred to by this term. Given PM Tony Abbot stated views on Islamic Jihadists using Daesh works for me.

    Believing in Islam is for the dim bulbs of society. The Islamic bright bulbs are in it for the power.

    That is correct. He was a ‘Convert’

    There is no such thing as a ‘Revert’ although Muslims and their enablers will try to make this claim.
    Muslims are like crazed uninvited guests who barge in to a wedding party uninvited then falsely claim to be the guest of honor.
    ‘Revert’ is merely a Muslim revisionist construct to pretend that Islam came fist.

    “Man from Christian family turns into ISIS suicide bomber,”

    These definitions of “Christian” are really annoying because they are always so vague. Just because you came from a Christian family does not mean you yourself were ever a born again follower of Christ. THAT is what it means to be a Christian. And just like you can’t be physically “unborn”, someone who is genuinely born again cannot be unborn.

    Genuine followers of Christ do not “convert” to a death cult like Islam!

  17. Paul says

    Mar 7, 2015 at 7:33 pm

    Do you want to belong to a savage, inhuman, self-pitying, pretentious,
    paedophilic, misogynistic cult with utterly contrived grievances that is
    a gateway to hell? Then come and become a Muhammadan, and
    don’t delay!
    P.S. please just blow yourself up and leave innocent people out of it!

    If they want so badly to die, I wish they would all just kill themselves today, so the world will be rid of them, and all their violence, murder, and hatred.

    Mar 8, 2015 at 3:34 pm

    They are idiots in every religion and culture, and if you are retarded enough to convert to Islam, by all means, blow yourself up to smithereens as soon as possible. All converts to Islam should follow this guy’s example.

  20. M S case says

    Mar 8, 2015 at 7:28 pm

    I did notice that al-Zawahiri’s wife did call islam a cult. and following through with what she said…………..My words, Teach your children to be jihadist Therein lies the problem. These kids are taught from birth that is better to die for allah than to live a peaceful life. All these people have ever known is war and undernourishment both of food and want to live…I suppose if I had been born a muslim and with my disposition, I would be in the midst of the fight with isis but I praise my heavenly Father that I was not born a muslim.
    They are so stupid. I don’t mean they don’t have an education…..The western world has educated them too much, but their stupidity comes from being reared in the vermin of islam.

    But then I can understand their predicament. If they leave islam they have signed their death warrant,, according to their hate book the Koran. If they stay and fight then there is a good chance they will be killed then they will get their reward in paradise ( sure would like to be a “fly on the wall” when that happens but too hot for a fly) Isn’t this just the greatest religion you have ever encountered??? Talk about throwing yourself under a bus. I sure would hate to face God in the judgment day with all those murders on their back.

    I wonder what the radicalisers actually tell the would-be Jihadists…it must be pretty powerful stuff to get someone to blow themselves to smithereens, for a g-d that no-one has ever seen and no-one ever will. And where do they think their blasted bodies go after detonation.
    If there was a g-d does anyone believe it would allow the muslim atrocities to continue?
