Jihad Watch

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

Australian jihadi was worried his Infidel family would burn in hell

Apr 4, 2015 6:24 pm By Robert Spencer

jake_bilardiThis article, like many mainstream media articles, contains half-truth and outright falsehood: “His friend said he was shocked Bilardi joined IS because he had always described them as mischief-makers….’He wanted to join Nusra. I was shocked when he joined IS because he considered them Khawarji (a bloodthirsty 14th century sect) when he was there.'”

In the first place, the Khawarij arose, according to Islamic tradition in the seventh century, not the fourteenth, in the dispute between Ali ibn Abi Talib and Muawiya after the Battle of Siffin in 658. And Bilardi himself explains how he came to change his mind about the Islamic State, and to consider them the true caliphate rather than akin to the Khawarij, who made war against other Muslims, declaring them all unbelievers (which is certainly something they do have in common with the Islamic State). Bilardi wrote:

As the war in Sham progressed and the Islamic State in Iraq and Sham appeared and the ongoing fitnah in the region was ignited, I found myself still on the side of Jabhat al-Nusra and Ahrar al-Sham, agreeing with the assessment of the mischief-makers that the Islamic State were from the khawarij. I believed it a duty upon others to slaughter the mujahideen of the Islamic State and had no respect for them, falling for the many lies being spread against them. It was my conversations with brothers from the State online though that began getting me to question my view of the organisation and the stories I had heard about it. As the Islamic State began to expand, seizing the cities of Raqqah, Fallujah, Mosul, Tikrit and others, Allah (azza wa’jal) Himself exposed the lies of the liars and humiliated the enemies of the State, a clear sign that they were upon the truth. Slowly but surely, I would come to love the State, recognising that they are the only people in the region establishing the Islamic system of governance, providing services for the people and most importantly they possess a sound aqeedah and manhaj that has led to their correct and effective implementation of the Sharia.

Meanwhile, Bilardi could have read in his Qur’an that he should have enmity and hatred for his family members who did not worship Allah, and should not pray for them (60:4).

“Jihad Jake ‘was worried his family would spend eternity in hell,’” by James Dowling, Herald Sun, April 4, 2015:

A MELBOURNE teen who blew himself up fighting with Muslim extremists was deeply concerned his family had not converted to Islam.

Days before Jihad Jake Bilardi drove a 4WD loaded with explosives into an Iraq army outpost he told friends he hoped that his family would convert.

“It was hard for him knowing his family is kaafir (unbelievers),’’ a friend said.

His friend, who knew Bilardi from the Hume Islamic Youth Centre, said the teen was worried his family would spend eternity in hell if they did not convert.

The friend, who shares many of Bilardi’s radical beliefs, spoke to the Craigieburn extremist just three days before he carried out his suicide mission last month.

He said the pair chatted about world events — including Nigerian extremist group Boko Haram swearing allegiance to the Islamic State — and what life was like living under the death cult.

“He wanted to know about here, I wanted to know about Iraq,” the friend said. “He asked about the Muslims here like people he used to know.”

His friend said he was shocked Bilardi joined IS because he had always described them as mischief-makers.

Bilardi’s friend said he was lured to Iraq by a recruiter from the al-Qaeda linked Jabhat Al Nusra — who he spoke to online before leaving Australia in August 2014.

“He was planning to travel to Syria in 2013 before anyone had heard about Daulah (IS),’’ he said.

“He wanted to join Nusra. I was shocked when he joined IS because he considered them Khawarji (a bloodthirsty 14th century sect) when he was there.”…

    Bilardi’s support for ISIS was based on 1) military success as sign of Allah’s will 2) Islamic political structure 3) Islamic socialism 4)Islamic religious doctrine and punishments.

    Can it be clearer that ISIS is orthodoxly Islamic…very Islamic?

    Al Azhar University’s fatwa department has not condemned ISIS as heretics, deviants, Kharawaj, etc. ISIS is scrupulously Islamic, minutely Islamic and self-consciously Islamic.

    He was a fool, a willing sheep, and his parents are now blessed with the horror of raising a son who detonated himself for a mindless and barbaric cause that used him up and spat his atomised corpse to the wind.

    That is his gift to his family and the nation that educated him. Nobody will admire him, nobody will remember his sacrifice on a wall, or by blowing a bugle. He is eternally nothing, mourned by a few who are ashamed of his actions.

    I feel sorry for his father. It is the ultimate betrayal by a son.

    He was worried. This is what they call terror. Maybe all should all invoke the work of the great Alfred E. Newman: “What, me worry?”

    Oh well, one less potential welfare bludger in the country. More of them should follow his path and it would save billions in welfare instead of paying it to the professional victims. It seems they are so dumb they are almost letting themselves be caught at border control now. You think they would have enough brains (sic) to work out to go via Fiji or Bali or even South America where nobody would care where their next separate booking took them. They are so dumb they hardly deserve to be blown up. Funny thing is they also don’t seem to realise the inherent racism of ISIS: if you’re not an arab or certainly of their tribe you are the bomb fodder.

    #the Khawarij arose, according to Islamic tradition in the seventh century,…………
    NO SECT FIGHT
    8: 46. And obey Allâh and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allâh is with those who are As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.).
    Muslim :: Book 39 : Hadith 6752
    Jabir reported: I heard Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, the Satan has lost all hopes that the worshippers would ever worship (him) in the peninsula of Arabia, but he (is hopeful) that he would sow the seed of dissension amongst them.
    Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 114
    Narrated Said bin Jubair:
    The people of Kufa disagreed (disputed) about the above Verse. So I went to Ibn Abbas and asked him about it. He said, “This Verse:– “And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell.” was revealed last of all (concerning premeditated murder) and nothing abrogated it.”
    Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 428
    Narrated ‘Uqba bin ‘Amir:
    One day the Prophet went out and offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud and then went up the pulpit and said, “I will pave the way for you as your predecessor and will be a witness on you. By Allah! I see my Fount (Kauthar) just now and I have been given the keys of all the treasures of the earth (or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am not afraid that you will worship others along with Allah after my death, but I am afraid that you will fight with one another for the worldly things.”
    Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 2 :: Hadith 30
    Narrated Al-Ahnaf bin Qais:
    While I was going to help this man (‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib), Abu Bakra met me and asked, “Where are you going?” I replied, “I am going to help that person.” He said, “Go back for I have heard Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘When two Muslims fight (meet) each other with their swords, both the murderer as well as the murdered will go to the Hell-fire.’
    Dawud :: Book 41 : Hadith 4866
    Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah ; AbuTalhah ibn Sahl al-Ansari:
    The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: No (Muslim) man will desert a man who is a Muslim in a place where his respect may be violated and his honour aspersed without Allah deserting him in a place here he wishes his help; and no (Muslim) man who will help a Muslim in a place where his honour may be aspersed and his respect violated without Allah helping him in a place where he wishes his help.
    Dawud :: Book 35 : Hadith 4259
    Narrated Zayd ibn Thabit:
    The verse “If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein for ever” was revealed six months after the verse “And those who invoke not with Allah any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred, except for just cause in Surat al-Furqan.

    #he carried out his suicide mission last month………….

    AS A SUICIDE HE TOO GOING TO HELL FIRE
    Suicide prohibited: reward of suicide is hell
    4: 29. O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you.
    4: 30. And whoever commits that through aggression and injustice, We shall cast him into the Fire, and that is easy for Allah.
    39: 53. Say: “O ‘Ibâdî (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allâh, verily Allâh forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
    Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 445
    Narrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak:
    The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “Whoever intentionally swears falsely by a religion other than Islam, then he is what he has said, (e.g. if he says, ‘If such thing is not true then I am a Jew,’ he is really a Jew). And whoever commits suicide with piece of iron will be punished with the same piece of iron in the Hell Fire.” Narrated Jundab the Prophet said, “A man was inflicted with wounds and he committed suicide, and so Allah said: My slave has caused death on himself hurriedly, so I forbid Paradise for him.”
    Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 73 :: Hadith 73,126
    Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 76 :: Hadith 500

    #mortimer
    #Can it be clearer that ISIS is orthodoxly Islamic…very Islamic?
    the above two examples is enough FOR “EVEN A LITTLE BABY” that ”’ISIS NOT ISLAMIC”””
    non muslim haters today repeating the word “ISIS IS ISLAMIC” ,”ISIS IS ISLAMIC”,”ISIS IS ISLAMIC”…….THAT MEANS THEY HAVE NO CONFIDENCE TO THEIR LIES,A HIDDEN TRUTH BEHIND THIS SENTENCE THAT INDICATE THAT ISIS WAS A WESTERN CREATED ORGANIZATION,THAT LABEL IN THE NAME OF ISLAM…………

    MY QUESTION TO HATERS
    No fight with surrendered warrior:
    Bukhari :: Book 5 :: Volume 59 :: Hadith 354
    Narrated ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Adi bin Al-Khiyar:
    That Al-Miqdad bin ‘Amr Al-Kindi, who was an ally of Bani Zuhra and one of those who fought the battle of Badr together with Allah’s Apostle told him that he said to Allah’s Apostle, “Suppose I met one of the infidels and we fought, and he struck one of my hands with his sword and cut it off and then took refuge in a tree and said, “I surrender to Allah (i.e. I have become a Muslim),’ could I kill him, O Allah’s Apostle, after he had said this?” Allah’s Apostle said, “You should not kill him.” Al-Miqdad said, “O Allah’s Apostle! But he had cut off one of my two hands, and then he had uttered those words?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “You should not kill him, for if you kill him, he would be in your position where you had been before killing him, and you would be in his position where he had been before uttering those words.”
    Dawud :: Book 14 : Hadith 2639
    Narrated Jarir ibn Abdullah:
    The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) sent an expedition to Khath’am. Some people sought protection by having recourse to prostration, and were hastily killed. When the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) heard that, he ordered half the blood-wit to be paid for them, saying: I am not responsible for any Muslim who stays among polytheists.
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 5,11
    Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 173,176 ,178
    Muslim :: Book 19 : Hadith 4361
    Dawud :: Book 14 : Hadith 2646

    EVEN ISLAM PROHIBITED SURRENDER WARRIOR (THAT IS A GROUP OF MEN COME TO ISLAMIC STATE ONLY WITH INTENTION OF KILLING/LOOTING/RAPING ),EVEN KILLING THESES CRIMINAL WAS PROHIBITED,THEN HOW CAN KILLING JOURNALIST BEING ISLAMIC? AND HOW CAN ISIS BEING ISLAMIC?

      Take it up with the Islamic judges who rule on this stuff. Which school of Islamic jurisprudence is your ruling based on or do you even know?

      What you are doing is like quoting the constitution without any regard for what judicial precedents have been set by the judicial branch. And if someone gets a large enough military together they can have their own “judicial branch” rule whatever way and act accordingly. This is why there are at least four schools of Islamic jurisprudence within Sunni and I forget how many within Shi’a.

      You can’t escape from the fact that Islam calls for jihad against the unbeliever, Jews, polytheist, hypocrites, etc, pretty much anyone who isn’t Muslim or Muslim enough. Even if this can be limited by fatwas it makes coexistence ultimately impossible within a pluralistic society. Even in a Muslim country you will get takfir. There is no peace, only temporary deception of peace for Allah is the greatest deceiver of his followers, the Muslims.

      What about the dozens of offensive raids on Jewish trading caravans carried out by the “perfect man” Mohammed? They were offensive raids not defensive raids. Mohammed was a gangster thug.

        Apr 5, 2015 at 5:52 am

        But–but—but Muslims believe that Mohammed was the Islamic equivalent of Robin Hood. He robbed the poor to keep himself in the luxury that he had become accustomed to—- Allah said he could, so that made it all right.

          Don’t you find it more than a tad convenient that mo’s allah invariably ordered what benefited mohammed rather than his followers?

          More proof, so far as I am concerned, that allah was a paranoid projection of the muslim prophet.

      @Shabeer: Hon, none of us are falling for your badly framed argument. If you are truly as peace loving as you are trying to portray yourself, I suggest that you adhere to another religion (if you need religion to get you through the day). Islam (which means submission), has never been, and will never be a religion of peace.

      Funny aside: I copied and pasted your quotes of text and pasted them into a word document and searched for the word, ‘kill’ and 13 matches came up. I think it’s ironic that within the few paragraphs of text that you used to try to twist the truth into some gentler lie, it still yielded 13 matches for the word, ‘kill’. Even with the text you used to try to prove a skewed argument, your holy book is preoccupied with killing and death.

      There are some Muslims who are kind people, but it is despite their religion, not because of it.

        Lesley ..Agree with most you say ..” your holy book is preoccupied with killing and death ” True, Also there is NOTHING holy about muslim’s Quran, its a manual of evil doers .. Sura 9:111 ” Allah has purchased from the faithful their lives and worldly goods and return has promised them paradise. They will fight for the cause of Allah, they will Kill and be Killed ..Sura 2:193 ” Fight against them [ infidels/kafurs ] until Idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme ” Sura 8:12 ” And when Allah reviled to the Angles ;saying ‘I shall be with you .Giving courage to believers .I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels, Strike off their heads , smite the end of their fingers ” Shabeer stop you B.S here

    • Lesley says

      Apr 5, 2015 at 12:55 pm

      @Shabeer: So, to be fair, I did other global searches in the text you used. ‘Love’ yields zero results. ‘Forgive’ yielded one result, but the concept of Allah’s forgiveness is contradicted in pretty much all of the text you shared with us.

      I’m not a person of religion, Shabeer, but may I suggest that you would be very happy as a born-again Christian? Christianity is a much more proactive and kind ideology, and you will find a lot of hugs and acceptance from your new born again brothers and sisters. I think Muslims converting to Christianity (or Judaism) is probably a better idea than trying to ‘reform’ Islam, and the West’s culture is founded on Judeo-Christian values, not Muslim values or perspectives. If you want to enjoy the freedoms of living in the West, and you personally need the practice of religion in your life, then conversion is a better option for you.

      Blessings :0)

    “AS A SUICIDE HE TOO GOING TO HELL FIRE”

    What about non muslims? Are they going to be tortured by the god of Islam?
    How quaint. Not only do Mohammed’s henchmen want to suicide bomb, Mohammed threatens us with being punished after death as well? VIle religion is Islam. Absolutely vile. The most obvious scam ever perpetrated on humanity.
