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

Robert Spencer in FP: Why would anyone expect Tsarnaev to be repentant?

Apr 23, 2015 11:59 pm By Robert Spencer

Boston Marathon BombingIn FrontPage I discuss why no one should be surprised that Boston Marathon jihad mass murderer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shows no remorse:

As prosecutors argued Wednesday that Boston Marathon jihad mass murderer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should get the death penalty, they released a video of the young jihadi three months after his attack, looking into the security camera in his cell, primping his hair in the reflection, and then flashing the V sign and then giving his middle finger to his jailers.

Prosecutor Madine Pellegrini declared: “He’s simply callous and indifferent to human life. It’s his character that makes the death penalty appropriate and just.”

No, it’s not his character. It’s his religion that makes him unrepentant. What no one understands is that there is no chance that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will ever be repentant, no matter how many stories of ruined lives that he hears. This is because he believes that in his murders he did a righteous deed before Allah, who commands Muslims to kill Infidels in his cause. To be repentant, he would have to cease being a Muslim, because it is his Islamic faith that makes him think he did the right thing at the Boston Marathon. But because no one wants to face the reality that Islam had anything to do with his murders, no one can acknowledge that fact.

The motivations of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev became clear very quickly after Dzhokhar was apprehended. CNN reported a week after the bombings that “Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, wounded and held in a Boston hospital, has said his brother—who was killed early Friday—wanted to defend Islam from attack.”

And just before he was captured, when he was hiding out inside a pleasure boat, Dzhokhar wrote a long self-justification on the inside of the boat, including the line: “When you attack one Muslim, you attack all Muslims.”

It came to light soon after the bombings that on a Russian-language social media page Dzhokhar had featured a drawing of a bomb under the heading “send a gift,” and just above links to sites about Islam. Tamerlan’s YouTube page contained two videos by Sheikh Feiz Mohammed. According to a report published in The Australian in January 2007, in a video that came to the attention of authorities at the time, Feiz Mohammed “urges Muslims to kill the enemies of Islam and praises martyrs with a violent interpretation of jihad.”

Tamerlan also said, “I’m very religious.” His friend Donald Larking affirmed this. “Tamerlan Tsarnaev was my friend and we talked about everything from politics to religion,” according to Larking. “He was very, very religious. He believed that the Qur’an was the one true word and he loved it.” Tamerlan did not drink alcohol because Allah forbade it—“God said no alcohol”—and his Italian girlfriend had converted to Islam, as his American wife did later.

The Boston Marathon bombs were similar to IEDs that jihadis used in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Faisal Shahzad, who tried to set off a jihad car bomb in Times Square in the summer of 2010, also used a similar bomb. The instructions for making such a bomb had even been published in al-Qaeda’s Inspire magazine.

Not only were the motivations of the Tsarnaev brothers abundantly clear; it is likely that they were actually tied in somehow to the international jihad network—as was indicated by how they fought off Boston police early on the Friday after the Marathon bombings with military-grade explosives. The question of where they got those explosives has never been answered. Nor has it ever been explained where the brothers got the military training that they reportedly displayed during the fight against police before Tamerlan was killed and Dzhokhar was captured.

And now people are surprised that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is unrepentant? This shows that most observers – and participants – in the Tsarnaev trial still think of the Boston Marathon jihad attack the way they would about any murder, and assume that once the murderer’s anger has cooled and passion has dissipated, that ordinary human feelings of regret and remorse will naturally take over.

These observers cannot imagine how different from that the mind of a committed Islamic jihadist is: he is proud. He is happy. He has done a great work for Allah – indeed, the greatest possible work. Remorse would be a sign of unbelief, and thus any hint of it must be ruthlessly extirpated from the soul. A jihadi looks at the death and destruction he has caused and thanks Allah for using him as an instrument of his divine wrath: “Fight them,” says the Qur’an, “Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people.” (9:14)

That’s what Allah did at the Boston Marathon – he punished the Great Satan by the hands of young Dzhokhar and his brother. Remorse is for Infidels.

And the death penalty should be for this young warrior for Allah.

    Answer: because all they are capable of is projecting their worldview onto others.

    • roger woodhouse says

      Apr 24, 2015 at 5:53 am

      Correct .For any Muslim to show remorse over killing infidels would show a weakness and loss of faith in their cult . Remorse is akin to asking ‘forgiveness’ which of course is a Christian principle so can never be applied to Muslims One day soon our so called ‘leaders ‘ will get the message but only after thousands more are killed. Getting rid of Cameron /Milliband would of course be a start

      • Dr John says

        Roger you are so right. It is not just Cameron, May and Milliband, it is the entire liberal, wet left. We must stand firm for: NO SHARIA. NO JIHAD. NO ISLAM. NO SURRENDER.

      If a person is trained to practice torturing and killing people by stoning them for sinning against Allah at an early age while having rigid Islamic beliefs drilled into their heads 24/7, all remnants of a civilized human being vanish from that person and all that is left is a viscious animal of sorts. This animal will look upon kaffir as their prey and they will relish the opportunity to attack them at the slightest whim.

      This is not much different than the street gangs in urban areas who captivate the young and show them how to kill and torture helpless animals. Once they adjust to torturing and killing helpless animals, they move on to the same treatment of humans.

      This is just how f–ked up Muslims really are. It is better they be treated as gang bangers or animals.

        Islam is a conspiracy, a brainwashing cult, a supremacist political party, a misogynistic philosophy, a society of enslavers. There is nothing good in Islam for the kafir.

      Psychological projection of cultural Marxists? Yes.

      The cultural Marxists see Muslims as fellow travelers who have not yet learned the truth of Marxism, but with a little coaching they will be able to make the leap towards UTOPIAN PROGRESS.

      To the contrary, Muslims see ‘progress’ as REGRESS TO THE 7th CENTURY!

      Cultural Marxists are willfully blind to what Muslims want and ‘reinterpret’ ever statement Muslims make so that it ‘actually means’ what it does not mean at all.

      Islam is not a primitive form of Marxism. It is the Law of Hammurabi plus a Death Cult…Bronze Age mentality and a Bronze Age religion.

        Right on. A theocratic world view in which society is completely ruled by religious leaders. There is no permissive forgiveness, only a plea for mercy.

    An ignorance of Islamic indoctrination.

      Exactly so !!!!! This piece of Muslim shit is unshakable in his belief that he has done Allah´s work. Why would he feel any regret or shame ?????
      According to his mind set, he has earned a ticket to Allah´s whore house in the sky and is looking forward to his virgins, sweet little boys and herd of sexy goats, male and female.

    We ex-Muslims know that Islamic theology is an über violent fraud.

    The Tsarnaev brothers were dreaming of virgins in paradise as a reward for their Islamic obedience when they killed for imaginary Allah. They took their instruction from the Qur’an and Muhammad’s example when they set off those pressure cooker bombs at the Boston Marathon and maimed and murdered all of those innocent people.

    Qur’an 009:014 Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people.

    009:023 O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

    009:029 Fight against such of those to whom the Scriptures were given as believe neither in God nor the Last Day, who do not forbid what God and His Apostle have forbidden, and who do not embrace the true Faith, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued.

    Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

    “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

    The statement continues,

    Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

      Apr 25, 2015 at 12:09 am

      To Saleem Smith- Thank you for your message about the wickedness of Muhammed. How is it that the more than 1 billion Muslims don’t see Muhammed’s life, character, and everything about him in a bad way and say “This guy is no example of goodness and I just won’t succumb to believing what he says to do” ??? This is very puzzling to me, even if I am a Christian lady.

    It is an abomination that more of “the public” don’t understand what an abomination this cult is. I encourage everyone to do their part to try to spread awareness. Each educational comment you post here and elsewhere helps fight this destructive, violent cult. It can not be overstated how lucky we are to have Robert, Pamela and the others out there like them — you know who you are. Awareness and education is the first step. We must counter the lies put out by the PC liars.

      My friend there is a lot of good people who would love to help but the problem is we don’t protect them we don’t cover their backs we simply leave them to be destroyed by the Muslim community , we must separate those individuals who rejected darkness on their own and give them a helping hand if we really wish to win against such an evil cult

    Compare with Mohammed.
    Was the “prophet” Mohammed remorseful over his crimes?
    Not one bit. All Mohammed’s problems were caused by kuffar!

    My wish is that this jihadi scum-bag should get life in prison. This is so that his pretty-boy virgin ass can be violated by 72 fellow convicts as long as he lives and that he may live a very long life. That would indeed be divine justice instead of him expecting to enjoy 72 virgins in his carnal heaven.

  8. Bezelel says

    His premeditated murder and maiming of innocent people should be enough to warrant his execution. There is no justification at all for that. Even if he did repent,(which ain’t gonna happen) Then he would accept his execution willingly and prepare to meet Jesus. Any claims of repentance that don’t include that are B.S.

  9. Oppressaphobe says

    Apr 24, 2015 at 8:25 am

    You got it Justin! They do not follow the ten commandments, which western faith is based on like: Thou shalt not lie.
    This is why westerners just don’t seem to get it about islam. They are comparing people to themselves, and that’s not rational, but people just won’t look at the facts. This guy needs to go because he will continue to do damage to society at large from his jail cell.

  10. RonaldB says

    Apr 24, 2015 at 11:42 am

    I’ll repeat what I said before. It really makes no difference if Dzhokhar is executed or not. I mean, he should be, but the deterrent effect is exactly zero. Muslims merge their own personalities, such as they are, into the mass of other Muslims. They lose their conscience, their sense of art, philosophy, critical thinking, empathy, and increasingly their genetic distinction as Muslim first cousins increasingly intermarry.

    The result is that it makes no particular difference, even to the person involved, if he is executed or not. It certainly doesn’t make a difference to other Muslims, although violent street protests can be expected if Dzhokhar is ever executed. The reason for the street protests will be the killing of a Muslim by a non-Muslim, and an opportunity for additional tribute by the government to Muslim political influence. As to the actual killing of a Muslim, the Muslims care not a whit. With the suppression of individuality mandated by sharia law, one Muslim is pretty much like the next.

    Having said that, I am still against US policies resulting in needless and unnecessary Muslim deaths in Muslim countries. It is not our business to intervene when Muslims kill Muslims, or to offer sanctuary, but it is morally indefensible to play politics with Muslim lives. An example of that is our encouragement of the toppling of the Gaddhafi government in Libya. It was totally unnecessary, purely political, and resulted in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Muslim deaths…and was totally immoral.

    write on, Robert.

    a false morality before an impotent “diety.” the Allah god of Islam is the best of all deceivers and its spokesman – Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lusts) – cannot lead to righteous ways..

  12. underbed cat says

    Apr 24, 2015 at 12:38 pm

    I like your comment Justin…most Westerners know the Ten Commandments (as you stated) as a guide for living in their faith. When the public hears muslims chanting for freedom and human rights the deception begins, since we (J.W .readers) know what that means the public and many government officials have no clue. I even wonder if school officials know the facts. They are demanding to live under Sharia Law which commands the religious obligation to Immigrate, and use jihad, that is usually deceptive or violent, to spread Islam. It is refreshing to read these rational comments today especially after viewing Pamela’s Boston College video and the predictable behavior of the chanting students.

  13. underbed cat says

    Apr 24, 2015 at 12:58 pm

    So as far as the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev trial, the jury will decide his fate…I am sure the jurists had some shocking moments to learn about the justification he used to commit his jihad and the doctrine of the falsely named religion of peace he followed.

    Death penalty might be too easy for him. Like other inmates on death row, his death penalty should be years down the road to see how he will cope with prison life.

    Jihad was implemented for the purpose of Genocide.

    In 1914, last Ottoman caliph declared World Jihad by a fatwa call to all Muslims against all Christian enemies / powers in WWI :
    http://www.forgottenbooks.com/readbook_text/Declarations_of_War_1000248104/67

    In 1915, again using fatwa, call for internal jihad against all Christians was resumed (quoting Quran 8:12, 2:191, 9:5, indirectly):

    Why would he be repentant? He’s still a follower of the warlord, child rapist “prophet”, Mohammad.

  17. Kepha says

    Apr 24, 2015 at 10:36 pm

    I could care less whether the death penalty in this case might have little deterrent effect, or even encourage others to seek their so-called, Hell-bound “martyrdom”.

    Execute Joker Tsarnaev. He showed a callous disregard for the image of God and went out, with his swinish hellspawn of a brother, to kill people. Further, I do not think he should spend a long live getting b*f*ed by 72 hairy cons, for I resent haveing to support such miscreants on my tax dollars, and my sons after me should not be required to support such critters, either.

    As I have said before, my only misgiving about the death penalty in this case is that a liberal administration, which is normally very anti-death penalty, decides that the political character of this terrorist act may justify it. It strikes me as the height of hypocrisy when people who would cry rivers of tears over some ordinary shmo who axes his parents and strangles his little sister will seek the blood of someone who creates a very visible, politically-charged crime. Still, the execution of Tsarnaev would be the O administration doing the right thing, even if for the wrong reasons.

  18. Jerome from Layton says

    Apr 27, 2015 at 11:36 pm

    I hope they drop him into the general population at Walpole [Yes, I know they renamed it; but it is still Walpole in the public image.]. Joker’s crimes included killing and injuring children and that puts him in a very special category behind the walls.
