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

Islamic State cites Qur’an to justify execution of “spies”

Nov 2, 2015 7:10 pm By Robert Spencer

If we didn’t have learned people such as John Kerry and David Cameron and Pope Francis telling us that the Islamic State had nothing to do with Islam, we might almost get the idea that it was…Islamic.

Islamic State spies

“WATCH: ISIS Executes 3 ‘Spies’ in Homs, Syria,” by Sam Prince, Heavy, November 2, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A new video purportedly released by the Islamic State shows three men charged with spying against ISIS publicly executed, point blank in the streets of Homs, Syria. The video is titled “And Whoever Is An Ally To Them Among You – Then Indeed, He Is [One] Of Them” and was released on November 1. The title comes from the Quran verse 5:51, which reads:

O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.

In the video, the three men are interviewed prior to their execution. We are currently trying to find out if they are charged with spying against ISIS for the Assad regime or the American led coalition. After the charges of spying are read, the men are forced to their knees in the city streets and shot dead in front of a crowd.

    NOT ISLAMIC? The university professors of Caliph al Baghdadi at the BA, MA and PhD levels reported amazement at the depth and breadth of his mastery of Islam. The caliph of ISIS is remarkably and profoundly Islamic. If he commands a barbaric execution practice, it is not because al Baghdadi is barbaric…it’s because ISLAM ITSELF IS BARBARIC.

      Excellent point, that appears to be deliberately ingored by the Western Church and the political elites ruling us. AL BAGHDADI IS PRACTICING ISLAM AS THE KORAN TEACHES IT.

      to call al Baghdadi i a caliph only strengthens his perpose. the islamic state is not a caliphate, in order to be a caliphate they have to unite all muslims under the banner of the islamic state. which would never happen because they are not real islam.

        “to call al Baghdadi i a caliph only strengthens his perpose.”

        He calls himself a caliph. I doubt that those who accept him as the caliph will change their minds of non-muslims refuse to acknowledge him as such.

        “the islamic state is not a caliphate, in order to be a caliphate they have to unite all muslims under the banner of the islamic state. which would never happen because they are not real islam.”

        It will happen if they grow strong enough to overpower the other contestants. The Ottoman caliphate had its fair share of rebellions. Were they not a caliphate? Didn’t the righteously guided caliphs had to deal with similar events like, for example, the Ridda wars? Were the righteously guided caliphs not ruling under real islam?

    Quran 5:51 seems like a weak justification.
    I think this one is more fitting:

    Quran (5:33) – “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement”

    If your going to execute people at least use a better argument.

      OBJ wrote: “If your going to execute people at least use a better argument.”

      The argument is bare-bones here. No Islamic doctrine is based on a single verse of the Koran, but on a combination formed by the Koran, hadiths, Sira, canonical commentaries and not least, Sharia law. The Koran itself may (surprisingly) be overruled by the hadiths, thus showing the Koran (the literal word of Allah) is subject to the oral traditions of Allah…those verse that were either ‘forgotten’ or removed from the Koran by Mohammed or his followers, and proving as well that Allah never says anything without contradicting it…like a fumbling politician.

      The ‘spies’ in question apparently ‘misrepresented’ themselves as ‘true’ Muslims, when they were working against the caliphate, thus showing they were ‘kafirs’.
