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

Muslim cleric: Beheadings permitted “as a means to strike terror”

May 22, 2015 7:46 am By Robert Spencer

Will some moderate spokesman in the West explain how Libyan cleric Muhammad Bouajila is misunderstanding Islam and the Qur’an? Anyone? Anyone? “Libyan Cleric Boujela Justifies Beheadings and Body Mutilation “to Strike Terror in the Heart” of the Enemies,” MEMRI, May 16, 2015:

In a May 16 interview with Al-Tanasuh TV, Libyan cleric Muhammad Bouajila, a member of the Libyan Ulema Association, explained that in principle, beheadings and body mutilation are prohibited, but that they are allowed under certain circumstances “especially if this serves to strike terror in the heart” of the enemy. Sheik Bouajila further commented that Muslims should fight non-Muslims who refuse to convert to Islam or pay the jizya poll tax. Al-Tanasuh TV is owned by Sadiq Al-Ghariani, Mufti of Libya, who is associated with the Libya Dawn forces.

Following are excerpts:

Muhammad Bouajila: The mujahideen were ordered not to start by fighting [non-Muslim] people. As the religious scholars maintain – and this has been the Muslim reality as well – the [mujahideen] must first ask three things of them: First, they should call them to convert to Islam. When armies would come [near a city], they would wait to hear the call to prayer from the mosques. If there was no call to prayer, and there were no mosques, they would raid the city and would call upon the locals to convert to Islam.

[…]

If they refuse, Islam does not force them to convert. [The Quran says]: “There is no compulsion in religion. Truly, the right way has become clearly distinct from error.”

That’s Qur’an 2:256.

Second, they should ask them to pay the jizya poll tax. In exchange for their protection, they should pay the jizya. If they refuse to convert to Islam, and refuse to pay the jizya, there is no choice but to confront and fight them. You tell me, in such a case, who is considered to have started the fighting?

“Fight those who believe not in God nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29

Interviewer: They are!

Muhammad Bouajila: Yes. They were given three options. If they had chosen to convert to Islam, they would have become Muslims, regardless of whether or not they had been hostile toward Islam beforehand. If they refused, they could still have paid the jizya for their protection, and that would have ended the problem. But if they refuse to convert to Islam and refuse to pay the jizya, they are the ones who have chosen the option of fighting and contention. In such a case, the Muslims should fight them. This exists only in Islam.

Muhammad is depicted in a hadith as saying: “Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war… When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them….If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them.” (Sahih Muslim 4294)

Interviewer: True.

Muhammad Bouajila: In other religions, when they take over, they force you [to convert]. This happened in Libya, in Egypt, in Algeria, and in all the countries occupied by the West.

Yeah, that’s why those countries have huge Christian communities that date from the colonial period. (Yes, my friend, that is sarcasm.)

The jurisprudents have said that in principle [mutilation of bodies] is prohibited, but that if they mutilate the bodies of our dead, we will mutilate theirs, especially if this serves to strike terror in their hearts. If this terrifies and petrifies them, it may reduce the intensity of their fighting against the Muslims.

“And one who attacks you, attack him in the same manner that he attacked you….” — Qur’an 2:194

“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” — Qur’an 8:60

Some jurisprudents have said that if it serves a probable interest, beheadings [are permitted] as a means to strike terror. Obviously, this has to be done in a war led by Islam, and in keeping with the advice of Islamic jurisprudence.

    Yes, typical Muslim thinking: A muslim army raids a city of Kuffars, then the generous Muslims, after defeating the defenders of the city are given the choice between Islam, 3rd class citizens and death – and if they don’t want to convert or to become a semi-slave, then they are to blame if they’re killed.

    This is typical for Muslims. Blaming their victims for their savagery. Reminds me of the prick Choudary when he said that it’s the Brit’s fault if there are terror attacks in GB – because hey: They did not convert to Islam – fair enough!

    • mortimer says

      May 22, 2015 at 1:20 pm

      Celtic said: “typical Muslim thinking”. I disagree.

      It’s actually Sharia law, rather than ‘thinking’. There is no individual ‘thinking’ process in Islam. Decisions have been made ten centuries ago or more.

      Western people need to purchase a manual of Sharia law and read it cover to cover to convince themselves that Islam is dangerous to our free way of life. I urge you and all readers to do so.

      ‘Opinion’ has almost no value in Islam.

      • Michael Copeland says

        No space for thinking:
        “It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision:”
        Koran 33:36 (part of Islamic law).

      There’s some logical, thought provoking ideas coming from this muslim cleric! You have to understand, according to this genius, that muslims have “no choice” but kill those who refuse to do what they say. Now, how hard is that to understand?? When you have “no choice” but to kill, what can one do?? It’s not like non-believers weren’t given a chance. Us kaffirs can only blame ourselves for not doing as we’re told!!! It’s not like muslims are trying to start trouble with us. After all, we ARE given choices. How ungrateful of us not to accept these generous choices, and start trouble with the muslims by doing so!!!

    Here is the clip on youtube:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtImRKulHtw

    This proves that by “no compulsion”, the Quran means “providing you pay a special tax. Otherwise, you will be killed”. So much for “choice”……….

    Please use the clip to prove to “moderate” muslims that they don’t understand their own religion.

    As RS says, ask them to explain why they think they are right and this cleric is wrong. Of course, they can’t ,so they have to live with their conscience. This is how you destroy Islam, by educating muslims so that they will be ashamed of their own beliefs……

      This is an excellent video to provide a link to when confronting taqiyya and kitman spewing moslems on web boards and their hopelessly ignorant left-fascist lackeys. Thanks, Peter!

      • Peter Buckley says

        May 22, 2015 at 11:04 am

        Yes, it is amazing how muslims will refuse to watch or listen to anything that they deem to be coming from a “hate site”, even though they cannot argue with the facts or logic contained therein!
        Yet if you just do a “copy and paste” job, and present them with exactly the same argument, they are forced to confront it. However, the best way, as here, is to simply present the video, which will completely contradict what your muslim is claiming, and ask him to explain the discrepancy. The fact that this cleric will be listened to by probably thousands of muslims, whereas your muslim will simply be a silly name on a blog should also be pointed out. to him/her. A bit of sarcasm is fine, but you should never insult muslims (they know no better-it’s not their fault).

        Unfortunately, there is no room for comments on this one, otherwise I would have started it off…..

    • Cecilia Ellis says

      May 22, 2015 at 11:18 am

      Thank you, Peter, for providing this link. Indeed, I shall use it. Thank you, Robert, for your constant provision of articles and internet videos that demonstrate the undeniable reality that there exists no such thing as a peaceful Islam. The adjective “moderate” no longer, nor never did, have meaning.

      • Peter Buckley says

        May 22, 2015 at 11:33 am

        Indeed. If you think about it, “moderate”= ignoring chunks of your faith. The word “extremist” is similarly flawed, since !”extremeness” can only exist on some sort of “scale”.
        Moreover, the word “extreme” indicates that the action, whatever it is, IS ALLOWED in the religion, otherwise you would say it is “against Islam”.

        Conclusion: If Islam is as “good” (some even say “perfect”) as muslims claim, then “extremeness” shouldn’t be a problem. In fact it should be “extremelty good”. When muslims criticize other muslims for being “extremists”, they are, unwittingly, admitting that there are some “bad” things in their religion.

        Hope you followed the logic of that. Sam Harris did a great piece on it:

        Cecilia. The damning evidence is all over the Net, FROM THE MOUTHS OF MUSLIMS. If you learn about Islam, you will find that it changes when muslims become the majority and change the rules to Sharia. It has a “dual morality”.That’s what Muhammad did when he moved to Medina. You can find a whole load of embarrassing stuff at MEMRI:

        ‘Moderate Muslim’ has 3 meanings: 1) a ‘moderate Muslim’ is a modernist Muslim who is considered a ‘deviant’ by traditional Muslims…such Muslims pick and choose the parts of Islam they like and snip out the parts they dislike…Thomas Jefferson snipped out the parts of the New Testament he disliked in an entirely subjective manner…’moderate Muslims’ do the same 2) this kind of ‘moderate Muslim’ is like number 1, but they are ‘assumers’. Muslims who ‘assume’ they know what is in Islam (but do are merely guessing), sometimes actually read the Koran, hadiths and Sira in their own language and realize that Islam is false 3) this type of ‘moderate Muslim’ is a stealth jihadist who pretends to be moderate, while secretly conspiring to commit jihad against the country he lives in. The Muslims at the Islamic Society of Boston, Dr. Death Major Nidal Hasan and Anwar Awlaki are examples of the third type of ‘moderate’ Muslim.

        Because of Obama’s policy of willful ignorance of the jihad doctrine, most law enforcement people are only vaguely aware of what to look for and they cannot spot or discern the three types of ‘moderate Muslims’.

    • Westman says

      May 22, 2015 at 11:42 am

      This clip from an Al-Aqsa address, is even more telling because gives the reasoning behind why you must convert, pay the Jizya, or be killed.

      http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/4901.htm

      “You should seek the help of Allah and fight them. Only when they fight you? No! When they refuse to convert to Islam, and refuse to pay the jizya. In such a case, it is meaningless [to let them] keep enjoying their life in this world, eating from the sustenance bestowed by Allah, yet disbelieving in Him. No! against their will, we shall subjugate them to the rule of Allah, without forcing them to convert to Islam.”

      They have that parasitic relationship norion exactly backwards. Islam is the parasitic scourge of the world.

      • Peter Buckley says

        May 22, 2015 at 11:49 am

          May 22, 2015 at 12:32 pm

          In many cases you can click on the transcript icon and get the text of the video. You are right, MEMRI is an excellent source that so well illustrates what the Imams and fundamentalists think versus the subterfuge of CAIR, OIC, MSA, and others.

    Mohammed (Islam’s “Prophet” of Hate, Allah (Islam’s “God” of Hate), and the Qur’an (Islam’s “Holy Book” of Hate), ARE the MOST PERVERSE and HATEFUL Teachings on the Entire Planet.

    Islam and Muslims attempt to point to the Christian Bible as also having such Teachings, however the difference is in how they Practice their Belief’s, and Christians do NOT Practice those Teachings in today’s World, BUT Islam and Muslims DO, and have been doing so since about the 7th Century, in FACT Islam and Muslims are NOW even OPENLY BOASTING about their Bloody “Death to the Infidel” Butchery, and seem quite PROUD of it.

    Islam and Muslims “Deceivingly” call their” Ideology the “Religion of Peace”, HOWEVER Islam has actually DEMONSTRATED to the World an example, through Islam’s OWN WELL DOCUMENTED Actions and Deeds, and has actually PROVEN Islam to really be the “Religion of HATE”.

    Islam has indeed proven that is is NOT really a “Religion”, and uses the Term “Religion” ONLY to take Advantage of the “Religious Freedom” Laws of Free Countries, but Islam’s Goals ARE really World Domination, Acquisition of Terrority, and FORCED Imposition of Islam’s “Cult” Beliefs.

      “Islam and Muslims attempt to point to the Christian Bible as also having such Teachings, ”

      Actually it is the Thora and there is no excuse to be made for the barbaric horrors which the mass murderers Joshua, Moses etc. brought upon their neighbouring tribes. The robbing of virgin girls and killing of all others cannot be justified.

      Still – Islam can’t be seriously criticizing the contents of the Thora, since according to the Quran the Thora comes from the same source as the Quran.

      But be sure the next time anyone points at the crusades or anything else when Islam is critiziced: One evil does not justify another, nor does it dwarf the evil.

      • gravenimage says

        May 22, 2015 at 4:13 pm

        The main difference is that the Torah (Old Testament, for Christians) is *descriptive*, not *prescriptive*. In other words, it describes what people did, not necessarily that everything they did was good.

        In fact, in some cases it is quite clear that the actions of major Biblical figures such as King David are not presented as anything that should be emulated or that should serve as a model.

        The figures in the Bible, even when they are revered, are presented as that of flawed human beings capable of rash actions and error.

        Jews—and Christians—have the capacity to be self-critical. This is, in fact, one of the requisites for democracy, enlightenment thinking, and social and individual progress.

        Islam completely lacks this, seeing it as nothing but weakness.

    • Michael Copeland says

      May 22, 2015 at 2:45 pm

      There is another important difference.
      The Koran forms part of Islamic law: denying it brings the death penalty.
      The Bible is not part of Western law.

      • Mirren10 says

        May 23, 2015 at 2:55 pm

        ”The Bible is not part of Western law.”

        I would disagree with that. The Ten Commandments actually form the **basis** of not only Western *law*, but the basis of our very values and culture. Likewise, Christ’s underlining of the Golden Rule. There is nothing analagous to either, in islam.

      Disagree. The doctrine is the problem, rather than one individual. We don’t oppose free expression; we oppose the doctrine. Civilized people do not target others merely for expressing an opinion, no matter how seditious. We must target the opinion. The opinion is 100% Islamic. We must target the ideology of political Islam. Governments need to discover that normative political Islam is the problem, and not ‘extreme’ Islam.

    • kangi_nunpa says

      May 22, 2015 at 2:08 pm

      ‘Poll’ for voting was a late development in the word, actually.
      From etymonline.com:
      “head,” early 14c., polle “hair of the head; piece of fur from the head of an animal,” also “head,” from Middle Low German or Middle Dutch pol “head, top.” Sense extended in the early 14c. to “person, individual.” Meaning “collection of votes” is first recorded 1620s, from notion of “counting heads;” meaning “survey of public opinion” is first recorded 1902. Poll tax, literally “head tax,” is from 1690s.

    “…beheadings and body mutilation are prohibited, but that they are allowed under certain circumstances “especially if this serves to strike terror in the heart” of the enemy.”

    So these atrocities are ‘Prohibited’. But then at the same time they are also ‘Allowed’. Even given the (sic) ‘special circumstamces’ described here, how exactly can one logically say that something is simultaneously BOTH ‘Allowed’ and ‘Prohibited’? What the idiot really means is that beheadings and mutilations ARE allowed ‘under certain circumstances’; which means that there is actually no question of ‘Prohibition’. So who is he trying to kid with this pathetic, mealy-mouthed attempt at the misleading use of language? Does he think we are share his idiocy? And no marks again for his (lack of) observation of the world reaction his savagery. It does NOT ‘strike fear’, it just strikes disgust, revulsion and total disrespect. Or hasn’t he really noticed?

    • mortimer says

      May 22, 2015 at 10:58 am

      ‘DUALISM’ is the explanation to your question. Islam maintains two opinions coming from Allah, both of which are true (though contradictory) and one of which must submit to the other. Confused? Muslims like us to be confused and laugh at us.

        And i had heard that about the phone cards and cell phones tossed down to the “Hidden Imam” before. I guess it seems he needs a bit of help communicating with the faithful…

    It is a sad day when a cleric must publicly remind his flock of what is clearly set forth in the scriptures.

    In this, Bouajila is remindful of Protestant preachers thumping Bibles on the TV and shouting out quotes from that scripture, trying to get people to square up with God.

    In the words of President Barack Hussein, words matter. We all agree on this. So it should not be that a member of the Ulema, a Sheik no less, has got to go on TV and state the obvious that all Moslems should know. But then, maybe they *do* know but aren’t so open about it in pursuit of some form of subterfuge. Could it be that Joe Six Pack Moslems are smarter than their hoity toity preacher?

    Many fine comments here. I would only like to add that as the days, weeks, months and years go on, everything I come across about Islam (as here) only makes me despise it all the more.

    Islam is such a downer. Big time. It could serve as the best example ever of the turd in the punch bowl. And this time the “punch bowl” is life here on this small planet we all inhabit.

    My God, Islam, you really are execrable. Big time.

    Time for a beer and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine, Islam, for being against beer because being against beer makes opposition to Islam real personal like. Up yours, Islam.

    …Libyan cleric Muhammad Bouajila, a member of the Libyan Ulema Association, explained that in principle, beheadings and body mutilation are prohibited, but that they are allowed under certain circumstances “especially if this serves to strike terror in the heart” of the enemy. Sheik Bouajila further commented that Muslims should fight non-Muslims who refuse to convert to Islam or pay the jizya poll tax.
    ……………………………….

    In other words, mutilation and beheadings are “prohibited”, unless Muslims need to savage and terrify the filthy Kuffar—which is pretty much always. Doesn’t seem like much of a “prohibition” to me…

    And Bouajila is not just a Muslim cleric, but also a member of the Ulema Council—this is *hardly* a fringe opinion.

    More:

    Al-Tanasuh TV is owned by Sadiq Al-Ghariani, Mufti of Libya
    ……………………………….

    The *Mufti of Libya*—more proof that this is mainstream Islam.

    More:

    Muhammad Bouajila: The mujahideen were ordered not to start by fighting [non-Muslim] people. As the religious scholars maintain – and this has been the Muslim reality as well – the [mujahideen] must first ask three things of them: First, they should call them to convert to Islam. When armies would come [near a city], they would wait to hear the call to prayer from the mosques. If there was no call to prayer, and there were no mosques, they would raid the city and would call upon the locals to convert to Islam.
    ……………………………….

    This dates back to the “Prophet”. From the Hadith:

    “When the apostle raided a people he waited until the morning. If he heard the call to prayer he held back, if he did not he attacked”.

    And note: this is not based on any aggression from Infidels; merely being non-Muslim is enough.

    More:

    If they refuse, Islam does not force them to convert. [The Quran says]: “There is no compulsion in religion. Truly, the right way has become clearly distinct from error.”
    ……………………………….

    This is usually cited to show how “tolerant” Islam is. But note: Infidels must either submit to Islam—through conversion or accepting the oppressive and abused fate of dhimmis, or they must die. And most of us would consider conversion under these conditions—at sword point—to be coerced, but not Islam.

    More:

    Second, they should ask them to pay the jizya poll tax. In exchange for their protection, they should pay the jizya.
    ……………………………….

    In other words, Infidels must pay Muslims not to kill them. The idea that the Jizya is just another tax—just like dealing with the IRS—is utterly false.

    More:

    If they refuse to convert to Islam, and refuse to pay the jizya, there is no choice but to confront and fight them. You tell me, in such a case, who is considered to have started the fighting?
    ……………………………….

    Classic Muslim blaming of the victims—but they see Infidels living freely as a form of “aggression” against Islam. When Muslims natter on about how Jihad is not fought offensively, they don’t mean that Muslims cannot attack Infidels and force them to submit to Islam, and to murder them if they do not.

    More:

    Muhammad Bouajila: Yes. They were given three options. If they had chosen to convert to Islam, they would have become Muslims, regardless of whether or not they had been hostile toward Islam beforehand. If they refused, they could still have paid the jizya for their protection, and that would have ended the problem. But if they refuse to convert to Islam and refuse to pay the jizya, they are the ones who have chosen the option of fighting and contention. In such a case, the Muslims should fight them.
    ……………………………….

    See? The skinny kid should have given the bully his money. That would have “ended the problem”…

    More:

    This exists only in Islam.
    ……………………………….

    Yup. No other religion demands that everyone on earth be forced to submit to faithful on threat of death. Civilized people don’t consider this something to brag about.

    More:

    Muhammad Bouajila: In other religions, when they take over, they force you [to convert]. This happened in Libya, in Egypt, in Algeria, and in all the countries occupied by the West.
    ……………………………….

    What absolute crap. Muslims were not forced to leave Islam by “colonialists”. The few Infidels in these nations are dhimmis, the pitiful surviving remnant of the original indigenous Christians and other Infidels.

    More:

    The jurisprudents have said that in principle [mutilation of bodies] is prohibited, but that if they mutilate the bodies of our dead, we will mutilate theirs, especially if this serves to strike terror in their hearts. If this terrifies and petrifies them, it may reduce the intensity of their fighting against the Muslims.
    ……………………………….

    More crap. Nowhere are Infidels beheading Muslims. And from the opening statements in this article, you can see that Bouajila is not justifying beheading and mutilations as eye-for-an-eye *retaliation*, but just in order to terrify.

    More:

    Some jurisprudents have said that if it serves a probable interest, beheadings [are permitted] as a means to strike terror. Obviously, this has to be done in a war led by Islam, and in keeping with the advice of Islamic jurisprudence.
    ……………………………….

    And that’s *exactly* what this savagery is—a war led by Islam.

    The Copts recently beheaded in Libya hadn’t done anything to Muslims—except, of course, by remaining Christian…

    They are not striking terror into anyone’s heart, they are igniting righteous ANGER in everyone’s hearts.
