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

Islamic State beheads, crucifies twelve people in Libya

Aug 16, 2015 9:25 pm By Robert Spencer

islamic-state-libyaNot that this has anything to do with Islam, but all this is straight out of the Qur’an:

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” — Qur’an 47:4

“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.” — Qur’an 5:33

Odd sign in the photo: the Arabic letters appear reversed.

“ISIS ‘beheads’ 12 in battle for Libya’s Sirte,” AFP, August 15, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Tripoli – Islamic State group jihadists have beheaded 12 people and hung them on crosses during a battle for the coastal city of Sirte, the national news agency LANA reported on Saturday.

The fighting for control of Sirte, hometown of slain dictator Muammar Gaddafi, has been raging since Tuesday, with one top Libyan diplomat warning of a “massacre” in the city.

LANA said the 12 people beheaded were local gunmen who had been battling IS in the eastern Sirte district known as “neighbourhood three”.

The agency also reported that IS militants executed 22 other Sirte residents who had taken up arms against the jihadist group as they lay wounded in a city hospital.

It said the jihadists also set the hospital on fire.

A Sirte city council official told AFP that clashes continued to rage on Saturday….

    They believe in camel urine, not “Western man-made medicine”…

      Muhammad the prophet of Islam did say that camel urine cures all ills.

      We ex-Muslims know that Islam is an idiotic and barbaric fraud.

      Hadith, Sahih Bukhari 8:82:794:

      Narrated Anas:Some people from the tribe of ‘Ukl came to the Prophet and embraced Islam. The climate of Medina did not suit them, so the Prophet ordered them to go to the (herd of milch) camels of charity and to drink, their milk and urine (as a medicine).

      Hadith, Sahih Muslim 16:4130:

      Anas b. Malik reported that some people belonging (to the tribe) of ‘Uraina came to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) at Medina, but they found its climate uncongenial. So Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to them: If you so like, you may go to the camels of Sadaqa and drink their milk and urine. They did so and were all right.

      From The Sirat Rasul Allah ( The Life of The Prophet of God ), by Ibn Ishaq (3) pages 677, 678: “A tradtionalist told me from one who had told him from Muhammad b. Talha from Uthman v. Abdul-Rahman that in the raid of Muharib and B. Thalaba the apostle had captured a slave called Yasar, and he put him in charge of his milch-camels to shepherd them in the neighborhood of al-Jamma. Some men of Qays of Kubba of Bajila came to the apostle suffering from an epidemic and enlarged spleens, and the apostle told them that if they went to the milch camels and drank their milk and their urine they would recover, so off they went.

    The Pig Bath ideology is daring the hand-wringing MSM to take notice.

    All the MSM needs to do is call Islam by its true name and expose the vile filth of Muhammad every time this happens and better still to do it preemptively and non-stop until Muslims learn to behave like decent human beings.

    Islamic ideology is a fragile house of cards built of glass.
    If we continue to prop it up and call it a religion this is the sad result.

    LOLz @ the cursive fail in that sign. Isn’t that, like, the first thing you learn in Arabic school? How to write the freakin’ alphabet?

    • Zimriel says

      Aug 16, 2015 at 9:46 pm

      News24 got it from Shutterstock. Okay, so it’s probably not a sign that’s actually found… anywhere.

    There’s something seriously wrong with that sign’s Arabic. The letters are backwards.

      whoever did is probably dislexic so s/he won’t figure out what’s wrong.

      I can’t know for sure, but my guess is it was written by an ISIS devotee who is not a native Arabic speaker–there are many of those from the West and elsewhere.

      My guess is the script was taken from a camera-phone photo that was then flipped, and that the sign painter did not know enough Arabic to realize the problem.

      Note, however, that “Islamic State” is in perfect English. Probably done by an English speaker–probably a Muslim who had grown up speaking English, most likely from the UK.

    Obama needs credit for leading from behind or not at all. His silence speaks volumes as with agreement to what is going on and if not he needs to explain to us Americans first and then to the international community his agenda but he won’t. He needs impeached but a gutless crony capitalist Congress interested only in themselves will do nothing.

    The arabic text on the placard is written from left to right. Every one knows that arabic is written from right to left.

    These people have been through hell, from NATO air strikes, to the civil war between government and Obama/McCain rebel forces, with both sides destroying much of the city. Now they are fighting to rid their town of ISIS criminals. I hope they succeed.

    I think we should probably turn the other cheek here and focus more on the f$&@ed up sign on the front of this article. Nothing to see here. Move on. Move on. And let’s crucify whoever made that sign while we’re at it. On the sign. The sign. The sign. The sign. Treat them nicely and they will be nice back to you I’m sure of it. If not come sit at my right hand. You don’t need the stress.

    Just a comment: the image you use for this story contains a sign with jumbled, meaningless Arabic script. It doesn’t do you good to have this on a site that is supposed to be expert in Islam.

    • Robert Spencer says

      Aug 18, 2015 at 7:11 pm

      You might try reading my comments on this post, which points out exactly this about the sign. It doesn’t do you good to be so careless when you’re setting yourself up as offering a “correction.”
