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

Islamic State abducts almost 120 schoolchildren in Mosul

Apr 13, 2015 10:49 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic State12Now they will be either freed outright, ransomed, enslaved or killed. That’s Islamic law: here is a salient passage on this issue from a Shafi’i manual of Islamic law:

When an adult male is taken captive, the caliph considers the interests … (of Islam and the Muslims) and decides between the prisoner’s death, slavery, release without paying anything, or ransoming himself in exchange for money or for a Muslim captive held by the enemy. (Umdat al-Salik o9.14)

A revered Islamic jurist, Al-Mawardi, agrees with ‘Umdat al-Salik:

As for the captives, the amir has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first, to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale or manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. (Al-Ahkam As-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance), 4.5)

“Iraq: Daesh abducts almost 120 schoolchildren in Mosul,” Al-Bawaba, April 12, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

Daesh abducted nearly 120 schoolchildren in the southern and western districts of the crisis-hit city of Mosul, as they continue to wreak havoc in areas under their control.

A local source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Daesh militants stormed a number of schools in al-Qayyarah, al-Shura, Badoush and al-Baaj neighborhoods of the city, located some 400 kilometers (248 miles) north of the capital, Baghdad, on Sunday, and kidnapped the children, Iraq’s al-Sumaria satellite TV network reported.

The source further noted that the fate and whereabouts of the abductees are unknown.

Meanwhile, Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) official Saeed Mamouzini said that Daesh had executed 21 of its members in Mosul who had been injured in clashes with Iraqi security forces. The wounded were reportedly shot to death in public.

According to reports on Saturday, Daesh executed more than 30 people, including women and children, in Iraq’s western province of Anbar, after accusing them of cooperation with the security forces and government-backed groups.

A provincial security source, requesting anonymity, said 33 people were captured by the milotants on April 10, when they overran Albu Farraj area, located north of the provincial capital of Ramadi.

Late Friday, the Daesh killed 15 people on the alleged ground that they had collaborated with Iraqi security forces and Baghdad-backed Sunni paramilitary groups, the source said, adding that 18 other Albu Farraj residents were also put to death later for similar reasons.

“All the victims were shot dead with bullets in their heads,” the source said….

    Who would have thought we would be headed towards dark ages in the 21st century.

    I hate to say it, but it looks like what is happening in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere is the much anticipated ‘Islamic Reformation’ we hear so much about. Islam has reformed itself from the scourge of moderation and gone back to its roots in Arab savagery. So much for magical thinking of Obama and his ilk who insist that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’.

      I think that you’re right Pongidae, the Arab Spring and the promise of an Islamic Reformation appears to have been either a ‘false summit’ or a ‘year zero’ retreat from the modern world led by Islamic Clerics and their dupes. Either way, ISIS, the new rejuvenated face of Al Qaeda, has lost it’s head, at least only figuratively for now. When the Caliphate is destroyed, it’s important that the survivors are not tried by Islamic Courts, as theirs is a Crime Against Humanity, not a travesty within Islam.

    After the initial takeover of Mosul by IS, there were reports that many of the Sunni muslim residents welcomed them and participated in the persecution and destruction of the Christians and Shiite communities. Now that they got rid of the Shiites and the Christians, the tables turn. Islam is misery. There are so few leaders who call out islam for what it is, evil. Years ago, I would say I would not agree with someone who said the entire world can live in denial about almost anything for years, decades. Now I agree wholeheartedly.

      “the entire world can live in denial about almost anything for years, decades. Now I agree wholeheartedly.”

      Indeed, aren’t they very weird times we’re living in?

    Bullets in the head for all of them…I guess it’s too much work to behead them anymore. They must be getting tired.

    There will be a considerable blood bath when the Shi’ite militias finally arrive. The revenge will be worse than the atrocities committed by ISIS.

    Half of ISIS will probably die from drinking polluted water.

    I see the US airstrikes is going well what exactly are they hitting the ISIS militants with confetti? I have a idea we in theWest can just keep arming the moderate FSA to help us fight ISIS and overthrow that evil dictator Assad looool

    Shame on the West for allowing ancient Assyrians Citys which where Once the cradle of civilisation to be Destroyed our civilisation came from Iraq and the Western Impearlist helped to destroy it by helping to create ISIS the wheel was invented by sumerians it was the first civilisation

      Assad isn’t all that bad Maria.
      Don’t you think that ‘evil dictator’ is a bit harsh?

    Michelle Obama can hold another sign saying “#bring back our children”, and I am sure that ISIS will comply promptly.
