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

Islamic State demands civilians repent or die

Jun 10, 2015 5:10 am By Robert Spencer

ISIS-Execution1“The group demanded civilians to head [to] the mosques of the city Monday afternoon…” Not that this has anything to do with Islam. In any case, here again we see that Sharia morality is not about virtue, but about fear. People are afraid to get out of line; they’re not convinced as a matter of conscience that what is being mandated is right. Sharia is a slow-motion reign of terror.

“Either repentance or death: Islamic State imposes regulations on Syrians,” ARA News, June 9, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Hasakah, Syria – Jihadists of the Islamic State group (IS/ISIS) imposed a so-called “collective repentance” on residents of al-Bukamal city in the province of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, local activists reported on Monday.

The group demanded civilians to head [to] the mosques of the city Monday afternoon, without notifying them about the reason.

“IS militants rallied al-Bukamal streets and called residents to be present altogether in the mosques of the city in the prayer time for an important issue, without specifying the exact reason for this call,” said the civil rights activist Samer al-Furati, member of the campaign of ‘Voice and Image’ that documents IS violations against civilians in the region.

The group called on people for “collective repentance” at the hands of Sharia officials of the group in al-Bukamal mosques.

Al-Furat added that usually a small number of civilians meet the IS Sharia officials in mosques for repentance, pointing out that the collective repentance was earlier imposed on residents of the Shuhail town last week and perhaps will be imposed on the entire countryside of Deir ez-Zor province in the coming days.

“Butchers are not allowed to sell meat without the group’s permission, while those who do not shave their beard must pay a fine of 15,000 Syrian pounds,” the source told ARA News.

“These laws and regulations come to crack down on people and take advantage of financial penalties by imposed fines on vendors and the population,” al-Furati argued.

Speaking to ARA News in Deir ez-Zor, civil rights activist Saray ad-Din said that the group has demanded Amer ar-Rafdan, the IS prince of al-Bukamal, to call on people for new round of repentance.

“Ironically, they (IS militants) arrest anyone who does not abide by the laws of the group. I myself had been detained for a short period because of wearing an illegal dress according to their perspective,” he said.

“Subsequently, I pledged to implement IS regulations to be released; otherwise, I may have been beheaded.” he added.

On Saturday evening, the radical group executed some 10 people of the Sheitaat Arab clan, who were detained earlier this year, near the oil field of Tanak in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eyewitnesses told ARA News. Hundreds of members of Sheitaat clan have been summarily executed by the group on charges of links to Syrian rebels.

      I was wondering that too, since not long ago an article reported that they would punish those who shaved their beards, even for medical reasons.

    The beast of islam, straight from satan, demanding that everyone receive its mark before they are allowed to buy or sell and if a person does not receive the mark …by so-called *repenting*…they are executed.
    Each day, it’s a new rule, a new law that must be obeyed on pain of death.

    Lucky these guys are violent extremists, or radical Islamists, or whatever. Otherwise, this would draw into question the notion that Islam is a Religion of Peace, as averred by that great RINO Prez Dubya.

    The Soldiers of the New Caliphate are forcing people into mosques not to get Abrahamic religion teaching there, they’re only using mosques cuz they just happen to be the only big rooms around for use training train these people on the arts of hijacking airplanes… and religions.

      If Islam really does “teach peace”, or is “a religion of peace”, why the constant references to “moderate Islam” and its supposedly twisted version, “radical Islam”?

      I can’t get into the heads of “journalists” or politicians, but do wonder why that apparently doesn’t occur to them.

        “I can’t get into the heads of “journalists” or politicians, but do wonder why that apparently doesn’t occur to them”

        Because brainwashing is a very powerful tool to manipulate people. When brain is washed it is very difficult to re-wash it. As we see these stupid liberals enabling the enemy Islam day in day out. Unbelievable, agreed.

    Most Muslims naively think a Sharia society won’t be like ISIS, but ISIS is a pure Sharia society.

    65% of Muslims say they want strict Sharia, but an almost equal number want democracy too. Muslims are generally very naïve about the result of discriminatory Sharia on quenching democracy.

        What are THEY so mad about?
        Simple
        As soon as these grievance mongering Sharia pus percolators stop finding yet another self-righteous excuse to kill maim and destroy, they come face to face with the spirit crushing reality that all their choreographed carpet kissing vanity displays are a meaningless exercise to avoid looking at the shallowness of Islam, the gutter trash of the Qur’an and disgrace of Islam’s evil buffoon.

          About half know little about Islam except what they have overheard. They are surprised to learn about the actual jihad doctrine and have no idea there is no Golden Rule in Islam. 15% support jihad and about 10% have attended Islamic study groups where the original texts are actually studied.

          Loyalty, though? Yeah, they’ve got tons of loyalty to the group but it’s like rooting for a sports team.

    Islam — not a religion — Just a poor excuse
    All Muslims should repent from following in the example of Islam’s Serpent of Satan.
    Is it even possible to slander Allah’s inventor, Muhammad? Any criticism could hardly due full justice
    Islamic State repeats the unique filth of Muhammad’s disgraceful existence.

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Jun 10, 2015 at 11:07 am

      Is it even possible to slander Allah’s inventor, Muhammad?

      Accepting your cynical implication that the Prophet Mohammed made the whole thing up in his head, and did not receive secret revelations from Allah on high passed down through the Archangel Gabriel in that homoerotic mountainside cave in Western Arabia, let me say the answer is no, it is not possible to slander Mohammed.

      Here we have Geller slated to have her head chopped off, but if I had run the cartoon contest there woulda been drawings of him masturbating all over a 6-yr old girl, humping a 9-yr old girl, building a camp fire on an Infidel’s chest, or proclaiming to his dusty Companions that he had been made victorious by terror.

      Fawstin’s cartoon was circumspect, and *still* it merited a mass murder attempt. Moslems are the only people in world history who fly into a blind range when a mirror is held up to them.

        They just might not be able believe what’s in the mirror–you know, some Jewish magic.

          Jun 10, 2015 at 12:18 pm

          Forget the Jinn. They probably go off when they see themselves in the mirror, gazing in amazed disappointment at their own hairy scowling faces wearing those geeky little caps. If I looked like that, I’d probably fly into a homicidal rage too.

        Remember, APF, that there were over 200 cartoons at the show besides Bosch Fawstin’s winning entry.

        This included my piece here, which pretty much covers the “Prophet” humping a 9-yr old girl:

      Jay Boo, You need to learn more about Islam.

      The Arabic word ‘deen’ (translated as ‘religion’) is closer in meaning to the Hebrew word ‘din’ (judgment or justice). The ‘judges’ of ancient Israel were rulers similar to a president-for-life.

      Islam’s ‘deen’ means religion-and-governance rolled into one.

      Islam’s ‘deen’ makes no differentiation between religion and the state. This is theocratic fascism, so Islam is a religious state or a state religion.

    Repentance in Islam – surely you jest! Muslims never do any unholy act so why repentance??

      That is actually kind-of ironic. I never thought of it that way before.

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Jun 10, 2015 at 3:59 pm

      Muslims never do any unholy act

      Moslems do unholy acts all the time. That’s why they have the Sharia in Dar al-Islam countries. If a guy offers to blow another guy at a truck stop, he’s up on capital charges. Get caught stealing an i-Pad, and the fatwa sez let’s chop off a finger or two. Get raped by a gang of Moslems with their tongues hanging out, you’re a slut and the court may sentence you to death by stoning… using small rocks to make sure you enjoy the pain and suffering for a good long time.

      No, Moslems are not egomaniacs who claim to be perfect; their only claims are that their belief system, the Holy Islam, is perfect, and that the Holy Prophet Mohammed was the perfect man.

      There is satisfaction in perfection, and the Moslem activists are deeply disappointed and mightily unsatisfied that the Infidels of the world have still not seen the light and converted.

      • mortimer says

        Jun 10, 2015 at 5:16 pm

        Muslims are careful not to get caught because the consequence are draconian.

      …………………………..

      You’re right, Jaladhi. Once again, words are used differently in Islam.

      “Taubah” is usually translated as “repentance”, but it actually means “leaving what Allah has prohibited and returning to what He has commanded”. It is more about following Shari’ah law than anything else.

      So it has less to do with regretting and atoning for one’s wrongdoing, and more with returning to the pure savagery of Islam.

      And like everything else in Islam, Allah can be as arbitrary as he wants (after all, he is “unfettered”), and can accept Taubah or not from his slaves as he sees fit:

      Qur’an 4:48:

      “Verily, Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth.”

      And, unlike in Judaism or Christianity (or even Western secularism) where repentance is what a person regretful of his negative actions *does*, in Islam it is something arbitrarily granted by the all-knowing and remote Allah:

      In Hadith, Muhammad asked people to seek Allah’s forgiveness: “O people, seek repentance from Allah. Verily, I seek repentance from Him a hundred times a day.”

    From Muhammads night journey:

    “Then fifty prayers were enjoined on me……I returned and requested Allah (for reduction) and He made it forty. I returned and (met Moses) and had a similar discussion, and then returned again to Allah for reduction and He made it thirty, then twenty, then ten, and then I came to Moses who repeated the same advice. Ultimately Allah reduced it to five. ”

    What a pity that Allah was swayed by Muhammad. Imagine how little mischief could be done if a jihadist is praying 50 times a day. As it is now Muslims can only shirk on their employer for prayers and demand prayer rooms or go out in the street and stop traffic.

    Allah certainly is insecure, requiring 70,000 angels to worship him today and then a completely new prayer crew tomorrow.

    I can imagine the day when ISIS will install cameras in bathrooms just to make sure everybody is relieving themselves the same way Muhammad did. That would include praying for protection against Jinn when entering the bathroom, holding your penis with your left hand, and wiping with your left hand an odd number of times preferably with a stone or similar material

    (more detail and sources from IslamQA* here: http://islamqa.info/en/2532).

    Muslims are always boasting about how Islam is a complete way of life, covering every possible issue that comes up. It should be no surprise to them that compliance with it is dependent on crushing the human spirit and stripping away all traces of individuality. In fact, the only thing Muslims are completely free to do in a Shariah state is be even more extreme than the morality police and start reporting on your neighbors. Or you can just fake it since Allah doesn’t seem to care whether your devotion is genuine or just an attempt to hold on to your life, family and property.

    *I have found the site IslamQA to be a good source for finding out what the Quran and Hadith really say. They do not minimize or make up excuses for the things in those books that are repulsive or stupid which is something almost every other English language Muslim oriented site does. You even get references to the opinions of the earliest Islamic “sholars”.

      Jun 10, 2015 at 7:57 pm

      DRHazard, you are correct that Islam Q & A is a treasure trove of Islamic insanity—it is also the most popular site on Islam in English.

      Here are some of the questions the site has received about “repentance”:

      “After becoming Muslim, should she ask those who were her friends in the past to remove pictures of her that they have on Facebook?”

      http://islamqa.info/en/198143

      “Reviling Islam and Doubting Due to Whispers”

      http://islamqa.info/en/166383

      “Cursing Islam in a Moment of Intense Anger”

      http://islamqa.info/en/42505

      “Reviling the Religion of a Muslim”

      http://islamqa.info/en/79067

      “Unaware that Working in a Bank is Impermissible”

      http://islamqa.info/en/106610

      Please note that most of the above is repenting from doubting Islam—there are no such questions as to repentance after raping Infidel women, “Honor Killing” a female relative, or beheading journalists and aid workers, because none of these atrocities are considered sins in Islam.

    Islamic State demands civilians repent or die
    ……………………………….

    This is not “repentance” in the sense of conscience at all—instead, it is about adherence to Shari’ah law, and enforcing that adherence through threats and abject terror.

  14. dumbledoresarmy says

    Jun 10, 2015 at 9:20 pm

    The closest functional equivalent to these ‘repentance’ sessions being held by Islamic State, are the “self-criticism” sessions in Mao’s China, in which persons who had transgressed against the latest of Mao’s diktats were forced to abjectly denounce themselves in public whilst being abused and before being further punished. (I forget the precise details but the basic idea is very similar).

    When the Ummah runs out of infidels for ritually slaughtering to appease implacable allah, it begins to eat itself.

    allah always wants more blood.

    Women and girls provide one perennial source of sacrificial victims. Muslim males are programmed by Islam to despise and fear and suspect every female in their lives and to be willing to *kill* said female on the basis of the flimsiest of pretexts.

    But *no* Muslim within the ummah can ever feel safe. No matter how scrupulously sharia-compliant they are, they can never be islamic enough, sharia-compliant enough, to be safe from someone else who decides to *kill* them and to claim, in justification, that they – the victim – had ‘blasphemed’ or in some other way transgressed against Islam in a manner that justifies the killing.

    It’s the “I’m more Islamic than you are” game of oneupmanship …and it is jam for the born-psychopath who enjoys killing, because in any society suffused with Islam he or she can indulge his/ her proclivities to the uttermost, killing with impunity – indeed, with social and religious approval – so long as a suitable sharia-based excuse can be claimed before or after the murder.

    Sharia is a dream-come-true for the born-psychopath, for the kind of person who in infidel societies becomes a psycho serial killer. And – even worse – sharia-based societies, Islamic societies, take even those persons born-neurologicall-normal, and do everything imaginable to burn away their natural human capacity for empathy and imagination and remake them after the mould of a psycho serial killer.

  16. dumbledoresarmy says

    Jun 10, 2015 at 9:32 pm

    Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has, quite truthfully, described Islamic State as a “death cult”.

    But where he falls short is in refusing to see, or failing to see, that it isn’t just Islamic State that is a death cult.

    He should be cutting right to the chase and calling *Islam* – plain old Quran-Sira-Hadith Islam, historic, orthodox, traditional ISLAM – a death cult.

    Islamic State is a death cult because it is Islamic, because ISLAM is a death cult, not merely the religion of blood and war – which was Churchill’s brilliant definition – but *the* religion of *murder*, an adoration and practice of Thanatos.
