Tajik special forces chief who joined Islamic State threatens to behead his brother

colonel-gulmurod-khalimov-isis-2“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.” (Qur’an 9:23)

“You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred.” (Qur’an 58:22)

“There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, ‘Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah. We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone…'” (Qur’an 60:4)

“Former Tajik OMON commander threatens to cut off his own brother’s head,” Interfax, June 19, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Dushanbe, June 19, Interfax – A former Tajik OMON unit commander who joined the terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in late May has posted online a new video to deny his alleged mental disorder and to threaten his brother who urged him to go home and stand trial.

A number of state-owned Tajik media outlets branded Col. Gulmurod Khalimov mad after the Prosecutor General’s Office had charged him in absentia with high treason and membership of an illegal armed unit fighting in foreign territory.

“I am absolutely healthy. And I am surprised. How could you send a crazy man to the United States for training, how could you give me the colonel’s rank and thrice decorate me with medals? If I am mad so are other colonels of the Interior Ministry,” Khalimov said in the video which depicted him against the background of the ISIL flag, black with a white sun and words in Arabic on it.

The first video of the former Tajik OMON unit commander was posted in social networking services on May 28. Khalimov, posing for the video against the background of palm trees and bearded men with arms in their hands, said that he had come to Syria to fight for “rights of Muslims” and promised to return to Tajikistan and enforce Sharia law, a code of Muslim regulations.

The second video showed Khalimov wearing a beard and seated with another two bearded men. Two submachine guns stood against the wall in the background.

“I swear in the name of Allah to use my weapon only against the infidels. If my brother stands against me and becomes an infidel, I will personally cut off his head,” Khalimov said.

The colonel’s brother, Lt. Col. Saidmurod Khalimov, an employee of the Tajik Justice Ministry, send an open letter to his brother on May 31. “I am asking you to return to Tajikistan and stand trial,” the brother wrote in the letter published by a number of Tajik media outlets.

The brother of the fugitive claimed that he tendered his resignation immediately after the video was released but his superiors did not accept it and said “everyone must bear personal responsibility for one’s crimes.”

The second video of Khalimov explained his siding with ISIL via alleged violations of religious norms in his home country. For instance, he criticized provisions of the Tajik laws On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations and On Liability of Parents passed in 2009 and 2011, respectively, which prohibited minors from visiting mosques. The norms were criticized by human rights activists and Western states, which said they might displease the civilian population and provoke its interest in propaganda of extremist movements.

Interpol has posted a most wanted person bulletin on Khalimov. He is the father of eight children and a graduate of the Interior Ministry Academy, who has been on exchange programs to Russia and the United States more than once….

    “I swear in the name of Allah to use my weapon only against the infidels. If my brother stands against me and becomes an infidel, I will personally cut off his head,” Khalimov said.

    No surprise there. According to the biography of muhammad, muhammad ordered his companions to kill any Jew they could get their hands on. One of them, Muhayyisa, killed a Jewish merchant he used to do business with (note: a merchant who posed no military threat). His older brother, who was not a muslim, learned of it and started beating him while saying “why did you kill him? Don’t you know that much of the fat in your belly comes from our dealings with him?”. To which Muhayyisa replied, “if the one who ordered me to kill him ordered me to kill you I would have cut your head off”. His brother said “a religion which can bring you to this is marvelous!” and allegedly converted to islam.

      By his promise to use his weapons against infidels only, Khalimov has declared any Muslim who disagrees with him an apostate whom he must murder. Any group of Muslims who resist or oppose the caliphate should therefore be murdered.

    Ex-Col. Gulmurod Khalimov is a Muslim who not only ‘believes’ that violent verses exist in the Koran…he is even prepared to ACT on those violent verses and proudly says so!

    What we call ‘MODERATE’ Muslims are in fact Muslims who ‘believe’ that violent verses exist in the Koran…BUT THEY ARE NOT PREPARED TO ACT on those violent verses. Pious Muslims call the ‘moderates’ MUNAFIQOON…’hypocrites’.

    Western politicians and most Leftists have the ASSUMPTION that ‘moderate’ Muslims are normal Muslims, rather than ‘NON-PRACTICING’, wishy-washy Muslims.

    Leftards convince themselves without evidence that ‘normal’ Muslims don’t believe in jihad-for-world-dominance. Leftards, not being acquainted with the rules on apostasy, ASSUME that Muslims don’t believe in jihad for world dominance, WHEREAS such ‘wishy-washy’ Muslims are actually considered apostate KAFIRS according to Sharia law.

    That is why ex-Col. Gulmurod Khalimov is prepared to murder his apostate brother. Khalimov’s understanding of apostasy is perfectly consistent with Sharia law.

      Isn’t it the truth? You’re spot on about most moderates simply being less devout but quite aware of the Supremist doctrine. Then again there are many who do not even read Arabic, reciting the Quran without understanding what it means. I suppose when the CAIR talking heads start with the Taqiyya some Muslims actually believe it.

    Is anyone else surprised that Khalimov is a member of the Islamic race? I would have sworn he was Caucasian. I wonder what his brother’s race might be.

      this website post inaccurate pictures and fabricated billboards, which is lazy and sneaky. Don’t invent phoney bill boards and put the right pictures up. There are Caucasian Muslims though, they run the spectrum and don’t all look Semitic, as some of the Semites are other religionists

      The term ‘Caucasian’, like the term ‘radical’, has drifted so far from it’s original meaning, that it is meaningless……. Radial? True to the roots….. a ‘radical’ muslim, is merely a devout muslim.

        Jun 19, 2015 at 3:53 pm

        ‘Radical’, not ‘radial’…

    Abraham never said allah. In fact the name is no where to be found in the Old nor the New Testament.

    Islam’s Qur’an only lists and sums up all the bad criminal acts everyone might become tempted into committing in the course of their lives anyway, and gives them the endorsement of “God” himself! So everyone already prone to indulge their criminal desires and turn them into criminal actions, will eventually embrace it (in prison, if not before)!

    The Qur’an is what you’d get if Hitler had written the bible.

    The Qur’an is a clearly-written hate-crime expressing a permanent death-threat: it tells it’s muslim mind-slaves that they are in fact SO “superior” to all the non-members of their war and plunder cult, that it’s not only their right, but also their holy duty to their god, to extort, enslave, and murder all the non-muslims in the world, simply for the “crime” of not being muslims!

    So “muslims” are nothing more than criminals, pedophile murderers who dress up in the robes and beards of religious men, waving fake bibles, yelling about “god” to cover up their criminal natures to get closer to their victims.

    Here’s the best example:

    “The apostle [Muhammad] said, ‘Kill any Jew that falls into your power.’ Thereupon Muhayyisa bin Masud leapt upon Ibn Sunayna, a Jewish merchant with whom they had social and business relations, and killed him. Huwayyisa was not a Muslim at the time though he was the elder brother. When Muhayyisa killed [the Jewish merchant],Huwayyisa began to beat [his brother Muhayyisa], saying, ‘You enemy of God, did you kill him when much of the fat on your belly comes from his wealth?’ Muhayyisa answered, ‘Had the one who ordered me to kill him ordered me to kill you I would have cut your head off.’…[Huwayyisa] replied, ‘By God, if Muhammad had ordered you to kill me would you have killed me?’ [Muhayyisa]said, ‘Yes, by God, had he ordered me to cut off your head I would have done so.’ [Huwayyisa] exclaimed, “By God, a religion which can bring you to this is marvellous!’ and [Huwayyisa] became a Muslim.”

    Islam is not a race, it is an evil death cult, anyone of any race can be an Islamist, it is not racist to be against Islam, more the sign of a rational human being.
