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

Islamic State jihad bomb plotter: “I am no butcher…it was jihad”

Jul 16, 2015 12:56 pm By Robert Spencer

jihad suicide bombing“I didn’t do it because I am bloodthirsty. It was jihad. I thought, at some point these Shiites would convert or leave the city. I’m not a butcher. I was carrying out a plan.” Abu Abdullah thus provides a handy capsule explanation of the jihadist agenda: the bloodshed is not carried out for its own sake, but to compel the survivors to toe the line, drop their “heretical” or “apostate” or “Infidel” practices, and become pious Sunni Muslims. Despite the clarity and rationality of his explanation, however, Western analysts will almost certainly discount it as unimportant, as they have already decided that Islam has nothing to do with all this.

“Inside the mind of an ISIS suicide bomb plotter: Unrepentant mastermind whose explosives killed hundreds of innocent people insists ‘I am no butcher… it was jihad,'” by John Hall, MailOnline, July 16, 2015:

A explosives expert who killed hundreds of people on behalf of the the Islamic State terror group in Iraq has refused to apologise for his crimes, saying: ‘I am no butcher…it was jihad’.

Speaking from a high security prison in the capital Baghdad where he is held, the terrorist named Abu Abdullah described in detail how he would order ISIS fighters to carry out suicide bombings.

The Islamic extremist, who is in his late 30s, speaks about the atrocities with a chilling calm that prison guards say proves he is a ‘level-headed fanatic’ – precise and methodical in his organisation of scores of atrocities carried out while he was serving as ISIS’ head of suicide attacks planning.

Abu Abdullah is now understood to be cooperating with the Iraqi regime to reveal the inner workings of the bloodthirsty terror group led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

But although he is now a reluctant part of efforts to degrade and eventually destroy ISIS, he remains unrepentant about his past life organising attacks on police officers, soldiers and Shia mosques.

‘I didn’t do it because I am bloodthirsty. It was jihad. I thought, at some point these Shiites would convert or leave the city. I’m not a butcher. I was carrying out a plan,’ he told Germany’s Spiegel.

Speaking of his role, Abu Abdullah said: ‘I was only responsible for the last part of the operation, and that meant preparing the men in my workshop and then bringing them to the right location.’

‘I received the person’s measurements in advance from the leadership in order to be able to make a well-fitting belt. But I always had belts in different sizes prepared.’

The ISIS militant revealed that he had lost count of the number of mass murders he’d helped to plan during the 18 months he served as ISIS’ head of suicide attacks, but boasted of developing a range of techniques as he experimented to maximise his explosive belts’ power and capacity to kill….

    Jihad is a sacred act.

    This story is one of the million pieces of evidence that it is belief in the religious Islamic Muslim ideology that causes all the heinous barbaric behavior of the Islamists. NOT political or economic factors. Purely the strong faith in ISLAM is what causes murder, terror and mutilation.

      It’s Sharia law and fatwas that authorize every ISIS atrocity, so that each barbarism is PERFECTLY Islamic and beyond any disagreement on Islamic legal grounds.

    “I am no butcher…it was jihad”

    That means…
    It isn’t suicide bombing when jihadists do it.
    It isn’t rape when jihadists do it.
    It isn’t honor killing when a Muslim does it.
    It isn’t a crime against humanity when Sharia law allows it.

    We get the point. David Cameron and John Kerry need to get it now. Islam is a conspiracy at war with the world.

      “Islam is a conspiracy at war with the world.”

      But Mortimer, how can that be? If your assessment is correct, that would mean that we, then, are at war with Islam, something which Obama has distinctly said that we are not . . .

        No. We, because of our so-called “leaders” – in government, in academia and in the enemedia – (like all in the West) are merely sitting fat, dumb and happy, all the while telling ourselves: “It has NOTHING to do with izlam!”

        Many of us know better. Unfortunately WE do not control our countries, despite all of the rhetoric to the contrary.

      Yes. The House of Islam vs. the “House of War”, the non-Islamic countries. That is the simple clear definition of jihad. And we saw it in the Phillipines, where 150,00 were killed in JIHAD civil war.
      And we saw it the Central African Republic, where the 15% Muslim MINORITY tried to take over the the whole country, which was about 50% Christian.
      There in Central Africa the Christians fought back, destroyed a bunch of mosques, and drove the Muslim communities far away from their homes. That was very very recently.
      Also, there was some recent social conflict in Burma, and tens of thousands of Muslim Rohingya were forced out of the country by the armed forces. After some Burmese Islamists and Buddhists were bloodying each other.
      Islamist. It’s all war, all the time. In different parts of the world. In different kinds of conflict scenarios.
      But jihad is jihad. And we will be seeing more and more of this Islamic violence. Everywhere.
      That’s why we all have to study and understand Salafism and the long bloody history of jihad and the Sharia Law support for same. They should teach it in all the high schools, starting with Bill Warner’s video:
      Why We Are Afraid, A 1400 Year Secret, by Dr Bill Warner
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_Qpy0mXg8Y
      Hey, Bills got
      1,943,999 views! I helped a lot. And the comments / dialogue section for this video is white hot. Fantastic!
      Let’s push that view count to 2 million!

    ““I didn’t do it because I am bloodthirsty. It was jihad. I thought, at some point these Shiites would convert or leave the city. I’m not a butcher. I was carrying out a plan.” ”

    Yeah. Keep telling yourself that – butcher.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Methinks hes been lying to himself for a very looong time …

    Yeah he’s in a high security prison, hello! …but he still doesn’t have a clue. And prophet muhammad (perdition be upon him) died clueless, as well, so this evil perp will join him in hell unless he repents.

    Re : “I didn’t do it because I am bloodthirsty. It was jihad.”

    Right. I get that. What we have here is a SOCIOPATH. He’s not a psychopath because he’s not cruel and sadistic and bloodthirsty per se. He just thinks that human life has no value except where people support his Sunni Salafist value system. Which likes to kill unarmed Shia. So he helps slaughter lots of people, and does it over and over again.
    So this slaughtering Salafist is a sociopathic slaughtering Salafist, not a psychopathic slaughtering Salafist.
    We can call them SSS and PSS types respectively, as shorthand. I’ll write an article on the difference and reference this article.
    We can also call this all-out Shia/ Sunni civil war. That’s what they’ve got in Iraq right now. There is nothing to negotiate. There will be rivers of blood.
    Shia are the majority in Iraq, but the Sunni and the Salafists can boost their active jihadi strength by bringing in bad guys from ninety different countries. They can bring in 12,000 to 20,000 Salafist fighters.
    This is going to be a long long war. Much Muslim blood will spill in Syria and Iraq.
    Of course, if the Assad regime falls to Salafism, then things are really dire.
    And there is a lot of fighting in Sinai Egypt.

    Looks like generalized regional warfare. What an ugly insane bloodthirsty coalition of orcs. This always reminds me of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. The Salafists are the orcs and Islamic State is Mordor.
    How is this hard to understand?

    Noam Chomsky is pro-Islamic State. He said so in a 2015 Democracy Now interview. And I’ve quoted him on that. Chomsky has completely lost touch with reality, as have all the sympathizers and appeasers.
    He is delusional. He’s lost touch with reality. As have all supporters of Political Islam.

    But the Islamists, whether sociopath or psychopath, are all extremely dangerous. And this article is the proof that the Islamist sociopaths ( SSS types ) are as dangerous as the PSS type Islamists.
    We will have to neutralize and destroy them all. So the kids have some peace and freedom.
    Ten million refugees in and from Syria is an amazing surge.

    Let’s keep ALL these Muslims away from ALL civilized western countries. The risk is too great. Our job is to protect western civilization from all the Salafists, be they sociopaths or psychopaths or just major populations of vanilla flavor Muslim believers who serve as the breeding ground for all this violent insanity.

    That ISIS villain who said that that is “No butcher” because the deadly bomb scheming he is doing of is for the jihad. What this does is exposes just how Islam can warp the mind and soul of amen until . he actually believe the such evil is “good.” To this deluded madness the Bible reads “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil….” Isaiah 5:20 [N.I.V] This blindness to what is right and wrong that Islam can drive a man into also exposes the total absurd falseness of the statement that is was on a tee-shirt that a young man was wearing, which I saw, in the year 1974. it read “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as your sincere.” What nonsense ! A person may be sincere but still in the wrong. This jihadists man is a strong example of of how it really does matter what a man or women believe even if he or she is sincere.. Those jihadists in their murderous violence jihad for Islam may in their own Islamic warped sick and deluded way be “sincere” as in having “good intentions’ yet nevertheless they are wrong , very wrong. This show that the old saying is true. Which is that “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
