For supporters of the Islamic State such as this man, the Islamic State’s beheadings are not repulsive and barbaric; on the contrary, they’re evidence that the Islamic State is following the Qur’an’s directive: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4).
Note also that he assumed that there would be a ready market in Spain and Portugal for this Islamic State apparel, and he was right.
“Spaniard held for selling jihad beheading T-shirts,” The Local, August 12, 2015:
A Spanish man has been arrested for inciting terrorism after selling clothing, including T-shirts and babygrows, depicting Islamic State executions.
The man, from Narón, a town in the northwestern region of Galicia, was arrested on Tuesday evening by officers from Spain’s National Police on charges of “inciting jihadist terrorism” and “humiliating the victims of terrorism”.
The man owned a shop, which also operated online, that distributed material related to Islamic State all over Spain and Portugal, according to Spain’s Interior Ministry, which added that the man was also accused of inciting terrorism.
Material sold in the shop included T-shirts bearing pictures of Isis executions, as well as other items of clothing that featured emblems of Isis, as well as the organization Harakat Sham al Islam – a jihadist group that has been active during the Syrian civil war.
The man, who was active on social media, often displayed radical views in line with various terrorist organizations that could, according to Spanish authorities, incite others to commit terrorist acts.
According to Spain’s Interior Ministry, the man published an image of the execution of British aid worker, Alan Henning. Isis released a video of the former taxi-driver’s beheading on October 3rd 2014.
The image on Facebook was accompanied by T-shirts the Spaniard was selling in his online shop which included images of Henning’s execution. The Spanish citizen was selling sweatshirts for €16 ($18) and T-shirts for €14….

Spaniard, eh? Should be put on trial for treason.
Shane says
I hope they got the guy’s mailing list, as every customer is a likely jihadist. Punish him to the max.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Why not the same thing here for selling Che t-shirts? After all, he too was a mass murderer. Instead, they just did a movie on Che and his bud on a motorcycle vision quest to resist the injustice of it all.
mortimer says
The visual contrast between humanitarian Alan Henning and his executioner is as stark as the contrast between the Golden Rule and Koran 48.29 (‘Mohammed’s followers are VIOLENT towards disbelievers’).
This T-shirt should be illustrative to anyone who wants a visual depiction of Islam…Islam kills the Golden Rule and those who implement it like Alan Henning. Islam also eclipses the rationality and morality of Muslims and makes them the soulless slaves and zombies of a dead pirate.

Get rid of these sickos in Europe asap!!!

Which can all be traced back to the unholy quran and their unholy prophet muhammad. Hmm, why wasn’t muhammad arrested for “inciting terrorism” when he was alive …

There is a much simpler explanation to the nonsense coming out of the mouths of leaders like Obama and Cameron when calling Islam a peaceful religion.
Words are cheap and why upset a billion Muslims when it is not necessary?
It is also called statesmanship and Winston Churchill was a master of this discipline.
Having condemned communism since the Bolshevik revolution in 1918 and called for war against the Soviet Union in 1919 Churchill changed 180 degrees after his first meeting with Stalin who killed more people than his old partner Hitler, and praised the dictator.
On his return from that September 1942 trip to Moscow, Churchill appeared captivated, rising in Parliament to tell his countrymen they were truly fortunate to be allied to so great a man:
“This great rugged war chief. … He is a man of massive outstanding personality, suited to the sombre and stormy times in which his life has been cast; a man of inexhaustible courage and will-power, and a man of direct and even blunt speech. … Above all, he is a man with that saving sense of humour which is of high importance to all men and all nations. Stalin left upon me the impression of a deep, cool wisdom, and a complete absence of illusions of any kind.”
To appease his great ally, Churchill would agree to Stalin’s annexation of the Baltic republics, his plunder from the devils pact with Hitler, and turn a blind eye to the Katyn massacre.
Churchill, statesman of the century.
And in an absurd way the present leaders are right: Islam killed no one, Muslims did. Namely those who misunderstood their peaceful religion.

Hey filthy troll — Your reputation proceeds you.
Your lead in with the “N” word undermines your shallow pretense at sincerity while trying to change the topic in an effort to hide the smelly filth of Mohammadian lowlife behavior following the disgrace of Muhammad.

How can this vile apologist claim that it is “not necessary” to tell the truth about Islam?

The parallel here would be that Churchill never dared say that Fascism was violent. Clearly this is false.

Islam enjoins its followers to oppress and murder unbelievers. How are pious Muslims who practice their violent faith “misunderstanding” it? The idea that Islam is “peaceful” is utter rot.

I read where as soon as Saddam was out of the picture, video rentals of beheadings were more popular than porn rentals in Baghdad…I’m sure they served a similar purpose…
