“A propaganda video of his final moments were released online last week, with the jihadi describing his decision through the use of a Qur’anic quote.” One might almost get the idea that this kind of thing had something to do with Islam. Good thing we have Obama and Kerry and David Cameron and everyone else to assure us that it isn’t so.
“British ISIS fighter carries out deadly suicide bomb attack killing and wounding 80 people in Iraq,” by Tom Wyke, MailOnline, October 19, 2015:
A British ISIS fighter has carried out a devastating suicide bomb attack near the jihadi held city of Ramadi in Iraq.
An ISIS statement claimed that the fighter, known only as Abu Omar al-Britani, had taken part in a twin suicide bomb attack, killing and wounding 80 people.
The attack was carried out as Iraqi Special Forces launched a large offensive to try to re-take the ISIS held city.
A photograph emerged on social media showing the British fighter sitting behind an office desk in Anbar province.
The fighter is dressed in a white thobe and has chunky gold watch on his wrist. His large framed glasses poke out above the black mask which covers half of his face.
In what appears to be an office, the fighter has a large knife, a single green hand grenade and a pistol placed in front of him on the work top.
A single copy of the Qu’ran rests next to a laptop as the jihadi poses with his gloved index finger pointed up to the sky to show his oneness with God.A second suicide bomber was used in the attack and is thought to be a Syrian national. He was named only as a Abu Qatiba al-Shami.
The horrific bomb attack comes as ISIS continue to hold out at Ramadi, after successfully capturing the city in May.
The death of Omar al-Britani marks the second British suicide bomber to die for ISIS in an operation at Ramadi.
British Kosovan Fatlum Shalaku carried out a deadly suicide bomb attack during the taking of the city.
A propaganda video of his final moments were released online last week, with the jihadi describing his decision through the use of a Qur’anic quote.
Just before he climbed into his armoured vehicle, laden with explosives, Fatlum said his last words: ‘I just want to go out there with a bang.’

Abdullah says
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
gravenimage says
Abdullah, this is *not* something Muslims believe, and it is not a part of Islam.
Would that it were…
عبد المسيح says
أَيُّهَا الأحيبّاء، لنحبّ بَعضُنَا: لأنّ المحبّة تصدر من الله. إذن، كلّ من يحب، يكون مولوداً من الله و يعرف الله. أمّا من لا يحبّ، فهو لم يتعرّف بالله قطّ لأنّ الله محبّة
Abdullah says
It sounds pretty though. Can we borrow it?
gravenimage says
It is indeed lovely. And no need to “borrow” it–it is meant for everyone.
I hope you take it to heart.
Linde Barrera says
To Abdullah- How does this quote from Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, sound to you? Does it remind you of the happenings in Syria and Iraq by Islamic State to innocent Christians, Yezidis, Alawites and Muslims? Gospel of John, chapter 16, verses 2-3: “They will put you out of the synagogues (places of worship); indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me.” Now I know what you are thinking Abdullah. You are thinking that Christians are polytheists because they worship 3 gods; Father, Son, Holy Ghost. To clear up that Muslim misconception, Christians worship 1 God with 3 manifestations, much like water is liquid, or gas in the form of steam, or solid in the form of ice. 1 substance. 3 states. Think on this.
Abdullah says
You have know idea what I’m thinking ma’am. I don’t care about your aqida you can’t deny this:
“If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.”
Oppressaphobe says
Your comments, in light of this tragedy, are cold and insensitive.
What does the bible say about saying the right thing at the right time?
WELL FIT WORDS ARE LIKE APPLES OF GOLD IN A FRAME OF SILVER; PROVERBS 25:11
So, I question you and your motives. If you are good, God will know, but I am not asked to believe everything I hear and we are not asked to be gullible by God.
I don’t support this suicidal passivism that Christians are engaging in–God did not tell us to sit down and take the crap that is going on in our world, that must be somebody else, like Satan.
Abdullah says
And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.
Jay Boo says
Your selective interpretation of Christianity sounds suspiciously more like a typical liberal hedonistic Atheist than Muslim based.
Abdullah says
Why boo boo – because I agree with our big sisters comment -” I don’t support this suicidal passivism that Christians are engaging in–God did not tell us to sit down and take the crap that is going on in our world.” and was offering some reinforcement for her?
Dacritic says
The “sword” here is translated from “makai” in Greek, which in many ways is the most useful utensil of the day, something like a long knife, and yes it can be used to stab someone.
Now how’s this for context: “Peter, put away your sword. For he who uses it that way, dies by it that way.”
Rob says
What a pity he was killed.
He would have been a prime candidate for Cameron’s ‘Kumbaya Colleges of De-Radicalisation’
Jay Boo says
A little soul music for the unfortunate suicide bomber.
“You are putting me back together again”
Katnis says
That’s pretty funny. Have you seen this? ISIS karaoke. Ha!

I hope he remembered to take his watch off. It would be a shame if such a nice time-piece was destroyed.
Lia Wissing says
I must be very materialistic: I also wondered about the watch!
Abdullah says
“Ali reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took some silk in his right hand and some gold in his left, declaring, “These two are haram for the males among my followers.” (Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, an-Nasa’i, Ibn Hayyan, and Ibn Majah, who reports the additional phrase, “but halal for the females.”) “Umar reported that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say, “Do not wear silk, for those who wear it in this life shall not wear it in the Hereafter.” (Reported by al-Bukhari and MUslim)
Western Canadian says
Drivel.
Angemon says
Hey! There’s no humour in islam! You just lost yourself a few virgins, buddy!
Jay Boo says
Technically (non-jihad) suicide is not allowed in Islam which is surprising considering Muhammad was so suicidal. I guess suicide is not allowed for the same reason that apostasy is not allowed because too many Muslims would choose to exit Islam if given an easy choice. Unfortunately Muhammad’s talking donkey was reportedly so distraught over the apostle of Allah’s death that he committed suicide by throwing himself down a well.
f c king says
Too bad these guys don’t find some nerve gas and really take out an entire city of muslims.
Jay Boo says
Not a solution.
I don’t wish to see any innocent children killed by these maniacs, including Muslim children.
Avenger says
Jay Boo. Your heart is correct but not your logic.
When Western nations finally go on the offense, removing Muslims from lands that were never theirs, it would be suicidal in any military engagement to separate “innocent children” from their jihadi parents. Centuries of Muslim invasions have shown they give no quarter to the innocents they conquer, we in turn can show no mercy to this cult which has murdered millions.
Jay Boo says
I wonder if this guy donated his body parts to Planned Parenthood for sale to the highest bidder.
dumbledoresarmy says
Once his demise is verified, then that’s one fewer for MI5 to worry about. Scratch his name off the long, long list…
