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

Islamic State hangs two boys for eating during Ramadan

Jun 22, 2015 8:16 pm By Robert Spencer

islamic-state11“They broke the fast with no religious justification.” This is the virtue that Sharia creates: a conformity born of fear, not a discipline freely chosen.

“IS hangs 2 boys for eating in Ramadan: monitor,” AFP, June 22, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):

The Islamic State group hanged two youths Monday after accusing them of eating during daylight hours in the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights said.

“Residents of the village of Mayadeen in Deir Ezzor province reported that IS hanged from a crossbar two boys aged under 18 near the HQ of the Hissba”, the jihadist police, Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.

“The children have been suspended by ropes from a pole since noon, and they were still there in the late evening,” he said.

“Apparently, they were caught eating.”

A placard was attached to the bodies reading “They broke the fast with no religious justification”….

    Repeat after me: allah is satan and these devout muslims are the devil’s minions on earth. Big bloodshed is a-comin’!! ISIS members are all going to hell…the REAL hell…no “virgins”, no rewards…just eternal damnation.

      The lake of fire is waiting for all who worship satan and do his evil bidding.
      For any of those…few in number here on the threads…who will say this is un-Christian of me, just remember, this writer did not make the hell fire that is waiting, and didn’t write the prophecy that foretells of the judgment that is coming.
      And it is just and right on the part of the True God to rid the earth of all of those who follow the commands of His enemy and make life *hell on earth* for those who try to do the right thing, in order to stop the evil from continuing and ruining more and more innocent lives.

      May He do so quickly.

        It is funny how Christians and Muslims both have in common that they shout out loud that God is mercifull, full of love and wants only the best for us humans – in the next sentence they come up with threats of hellfire.

        Is this a thought which makes you happy? That others would suffer forever? What great apostles of Jesus you are, LOL.

      “Islamic State hangs two boys for eating during Ramadan”

      There is no question that this is prime “sensational” news. If this isn’t news, there is no news. Had this happened in any Christian or Jewish community, it would be big news all over the MSM. Why is this not in the MSM? It is total anti Christian anti Jew bias. Like the MSM, the Third Reich also had an anti Jew, anti Christian bias, lest we forget.

      The MSM (like Hitler) is trying to make people love Muslims and also love the Muslim hatred for Christians and Jews.

      • TheDane says

        Jun 23, 2015 at 10:45 am

        Well said! Your brief analysis on MSM was really spot on! I totally agree. Take the horrible attack in Austria the other day, where a small innocent 7-yr old boy was brutally murdered. No media talked about it, same as with other similar incidents in Europe. Islamic brutality shows itself more and more often here in Scandinavia, and even famous people and politicians are now Falling victim to it. The media tries to keep it from the public.

        But as to this Club of “the Devil’s own” (ISIS), how come the US president doesn’t do anything about it?? He could start by eradicating Raqqah, for instance. We don’t ever hear that the Allied forces in Iraq or Syria has hit a large Group of ISIS-devils, do we? I find it rather suspect..

        If this isn’t news, there is no news. Had this happened in any Christian or Jewish community, it would be big news all over the MSM. Why is this not in the MSM?

        It’s not news because the news entertainment industry does not want to offend anybody (liberals, Moslems, prestigious academics, federal bureaucrats), doing so could lower ratings, tarnish image and boost legal costs. For their part, news entertainers themselves are terrified of offending Moslems in particular, doing so could limit lifespan, or, if the revenge attack is something less, it could limit career span. For example, if a news entertainer takes a splash of muriatic acid to the face, the face on the front of her blonde haid ain’t so purty no more, and she’d be forced into early retirement.

        Islam knows not only how to motivate Moslems, but also how to motivate Infidels.

          Jun 23, 2015 at 1:49 pm

          Might you be saying that the MSM are complete corrupt liars and cowards, shills for academia, government, and their corporate sponsors….and their goal is to entertain us but not inform us.

          I completely agree.

        To any smart and thoughtful student in Hitlers day being brought up as a catholic it is understandable the Hitler (who by all accounts was a very able student ) became very cynical of the Catholic Church as to quote from David Irving’s book “Hitlers War” referenced page 181…
        The churches may decide what happens to the Germans in the here after— but it is the German Nation and it’s Fuhrer who decide about them now .Hitlers profound loathing of the clergy can probably be traced back to his religious teacher at his school, about whom he had a fund of distasteful anecdotes. His religious teachers were unable to explain why at 10 am the story of the creation taught from the Old Testament and at eleven a.m a wholly different story was told by his science teacher that taught Darwinism…. I don’t think that Hitler would bow to Ilam

    Yes, yes, this is terrible, but ISIS is providing a sense of security and creating jobs – right, Mr. Hubbard?

    • Westman says

      Jun 22, 2015 at 8:51 pm

      Those jobs appear to be hangman, beheader, aputator, flogger, and moral policeman. The amputators of thief’s hands are paid for by ISIS thefts. Ironic.

  3. Kepha says

    Jun 22, 2015 at 8:47 pm

    How interesting. This post about hanging teens over eating in Ramadan and the earlier one about Ben Hubbard of the NYSlimes really reminds me of all the hairy counterculture types and radical
    “humanists” getting all ga-ga over the fat old Hunanese mass-murdering marmot.

    That’s the secret to all the Eurotrash and American misfits converting to Islam and wanting to go fight for ISIS. deep down inside, I suspect these folks who are so aware of their own inner turmoil wish someone would get serious about imposing standards–even to the point where kids wearing “legalize weed” T-shirts and never daring to hint that they’re anything but pro-LGBT really wish, in their hearts of hearts, that someone would start hanging drug pushers and gay activists on the Washington Mall (after due process, of course). Maybe what’s needed is for more unruly little kids to get a wooden spoon to the backside so they won’t grow up to be the sorts of fools fascinated by evil political regimes.

    Jun 22, 2015 at 9:17 pm

    The REAL point here is very simple. And most important.
    This double hanging is TOTALLY Islam. This was about Ramadan and the lack of civil rights even to the level that kids could not get a meal without being hanged.
    Very explosive material.
    Ramadan, Islamic State, Sharia and Islam are evil, pure and simple.
    Now let’s take this to the street and hammer on this one point over and over and over again.
    That’s how we break the back of the false narrative that Islam is somehow reasonable.
    Islam is NOT reasonable when kids are hanged under Islamic Law for having lunch.
    Animals in the zoo have better care than human children under Islam.
    Islam Is Unhealthy For Children And Other Living Things.
    Oppose Islamic Law like your life depends on it. Teach others to do the same.

      How old were these boys? I was told just last week by a Saudi that observing Ramadan is supposed to begin at age 15. Children under that age, pregnant women, sick people, nursing women, etc. are excused.

    • Holy Prophet APF says

      Jun 23, 2015 at 1:29 pm

      This was about Ramadan…

      Few consider what Ramadan celebrates. As I recall, the holiday predated the whole Allah-to-the Archangel Gabriel-to-Holy Prophet Mohammed in the dark and dank mountainside cave outside of Mecca episode. It was a no-kill month observed by pagan Arabs for centuries before. I also recall that the Holy Prophet (not me) perverted the holiday from a no-kill pagan month to one that celebrated a victorious battle of the Holy Prophet’s mass murderers against the pagan Arabs to avenge a previous battle the Infidels had won. Anybody remember the specifics (not pacifics) of this?

    This is Muslim “morality”.

      Wonder what they include as “religious justification” to avoid the no-eating rule… nonetheless, it must be “religious”.

      • Troy says

        Jun 23, 2015 at 12:46 pm

        Your argument is flawed Notyourconcern, according to you ISIS is the government enforcing islamic laws and Islam worships Allah alone. Muslims worship Mohammed, the paedophile, the murderer, the racist, the liar, the chauvenist. They worship Allah through their reverence and worship of Mohammed. Your handle also signifies your ignorance. When innocents are murdered, our natural instinct to fight injustice kicks in. It is our concern, and will be until this murderous Islamic ideology is erradicated.

    Two young people hanged .Show in islam they have no value of LIFE .Why foolish converts follow a culture of Saudis who have made rules to kill and no ways to prosper and live a happy life ( they never share their own wealth with these converts for good life ) . Its time all converts to islam should consider leaving islam and find own roots as Saudi will never allow you to live in their land as they consider you ( converts ) third class muslim .

    Comment at AFP article:

    I just watched the movie The Miracle of the Bells 1948. My comment in the comment box was “Where Have I been? This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.” Maybe I’m just easy to please. My other thought, immediately after that, was that you’d never see something like this come out of Islam. Then I went to check the latest on Jihad Watch and found the link to this article. Islam is a disease and Muslims are the symptom. As we can plainly see by the Bubonic Plague that is Islamic Jihad spreading across the globe and even infecting our country.

      Maybe these boys were some of the captured that is terrorists have kept as slaves. Since the account does not specify that they were *potential terrorists* who were there of their own free will, it may be that they were not, but were under the control of the beast against their will.

    They kill people on their holy day and we give presents on ours. There is just evil in that cult.
    is there any crime (not talking about burning, stoning or beheading because they are not crimes in Islam) which is not punishable by death? Is that the only sentence they have.

    Dear God! What depravity! Every day, it’s another story of boundless evil. Whether the young boys were hung or suspended by arms or wrists is but a mere corollary to the abomination of Islam itself. How on earth can soon-to-reach two billion adherents condone such an all-encompassing lie! (Not a question . . . a statement of fact.)

    I am tired of the disgusting, whining legions of prevaricators who rush to condemn the “threat” conveyed by a pencil and a piece of paper in the hands of an artist or a scholar, but who render astounding silence in response to endless reports of murder, violent conquest, sharia punishments (the more brutal, the better), etc., all to satisfy the “Greatest of Deceivers.”

    I am tired of the religion-of-peace mantra chanted by religious, political, and academic leaders in the Western arena. Historical evidence – beyond reasonable doubt – for nearly 1400 years proves otherwise.

    I am tired of Islam and its ad nauseam worship of two liars: Allah and Muhammad. Furthermore, I am also tired of the oxymoron, “Noble Qur’an.” Nothing in it is noble.

    Although I take a liberty I have not yet requested, I can think of no better closing than that used by “gravenimage”: “God, I hate Islam!”

      Ever heard golfers talk about the “little man in the head?” If a golfer is upset, losing it, the man’s running around inside his head. If he’s got it under control, the little guy is sitting in there quiet, helping things along.

      Moslems have a little man inside their haids who is *always* running around, demanding this or that on such and such or so and so, ususally something having to do with revenge and casting fear. To make matters worse, there is a *second* little man inside the poor Moslem’s haid: the Holy Prophet Mohammed (not me).

      One guy in there makes you insane; two guys in there makes you a Moslem.

    It’s anti human instinct for a culture or a religion to want to harm it’s young. I truly don’t understand the mindset of those who would harm or murder or martyr young people for a cause. They and we can never co-exist until this (and many other things) changes.

    Jun 23, 2015 at 12:25 pm

    That fast is unfair to people who live at higher latitudes. Mohammed probably didn’t realize that not all days on earth have the same number of daylight hours. Why don’t they change the rules and just have everyone fast for 12 hours? Surely that’s closer to the original intention

    Also, aren’t children exempt from the fast? Forcing children to go without food and water for a long time is cruel.

    These crimes against basic human decency must be stopped, we cannot wait for “the Iraqi Army or the Syrian government” to accomplish this.

    Jun 23, 2015 at 6:20 pm

    “Under 18” is a Western-based concept of “underage boyhood.”

    In sharia, they would have been exempt from such stupidity only if under age 12.
    .
    However, simply missing Ramadan isn’t a death-penalty offense, even in sharia; even those who publicly state their apostacy intent are allowed three days to repent of it.
