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

Islamic State video threatens Georgians with beheadings, caliphate

Nov 24, 2015 4:58 pm By Ralph Sidway

The nation of Georgia is home to one of the earliest Christian churches, with apostolic roots in the 1st century, its formal founding dating from the early 4th century. The Georgians have a long memory, and are likely thinking back to when Muslim invaders conquered Tbilisi in 1227. The Islamic State video references that slaughter — infamous for the beheadings of 100,000 Georgian Christians who refused to deny Christ — in its video. (Interesting how the Islamic State patterns its actions on not only the Qur’an and the life of Muhammad, but on the deeds of Muslims of previous eras, almost as if they revere that historical continuity and are proud to manifest it in the 21st century.)

From an historical account of the time:

… A river of blood flowed through the city. The Turkmen castrated young children, raped women, and stabbed mothers to death over their children’s lifeless bodies. The whole city shuddered at the sound of wailing and lamentation. The river and streets of the city were filled with death.

The sultan ordered that the cupola of Sioni Cathedral be taken down and replaced by his vile throne. And at his command the icons of the Theotokos [the Virgin Mary] and our Savior were carried out of Sioni Cathedral and placed at the center of the bridge across the Mtkvari River. The invaders goaded the people to the bridge, ordering them to cross it and spit on the holy icons. Those who betrayed the Christian Faith and mocked the icons were spared their lives, while the Orthodox confessors were beheaded.

One hundred thousand Georgians sacrificed their lives to venerate the holy icons. One hundred thousand severed heads and headless bodies were carried by the bloody current down the Mtkvari River.

from Lives of the Georgian Saints, by Archpriest Zakaria Machitadze, Platina CA, 2006, pp 403-404.

“‘Soon there will be time of beheading you’ – Video address to Georgians released on behalf of Islamic State”, Georgian Journal (via Pravoslavie), November 24, 2015:

A video address to the Georgian people on behalf of the Islamic State has been released on the internet. Fighters speaking Georgian address the Muslims living in Georgia, calling on them to support the ‘Islamic Caliphate’ and threatening to establish a ‘Caliphate’ in Georgia.

“I would like to address the faithless people living in Georgia that have been fighting Islam for a long time. Everybody who has acted against Islam, no matter in Iraq or Afghanistan, will be judged by God’s law.

God is very strict; therefore we call on you to stop persecuting Muslims. Your actions against Muslims will not go unanswered. Everybody will be held accountable for it.

Soon there will come the time of your beheading. You consider yourselves very far from the Caliphate, thinking we cannot reach Georgia but I would like to remind you of the period when the Caliphate was established in Georgia. The Georgian people were much more courageous then than the enemies of Islam governing Georgia now. The time will come very soon, thanks to God,” one of the fighters declares.

Another fighter threatens Muslim Khojas and Muftis living in Adjara, accusing them of misleading people. “You are not Muslims yourselves. You follow Tahuti and the people also follow your path. Are not you afraid of Allah who has created you by a drop of blood? You will die and appear before Allah. You will pay for what you have done. Be afraid of Allah but not the dirty leaders. Don’t be afraid of their orders you fulfill without hesitation,” the fighters say.

The video was published by Furat Media [and can be found on sendvid.com].

    Important point, this is, and shoved in the face of those who say “the islamic state is not islamic, look, they’re killing muslims”, it should.

    Only dummies who believe the Sun goes around the Earth and that humans were created “from a clot of congealed blood(quran 96:1-2)” can believe this nonsense.

    “Are not you afraid of Allah who has created you by a drop of blood? You will die and appear before Allah.”

    150,000 people die each day and there are 86,400 seconds in a day. So allah is reviewing about 1.7 lives per second and making placement decisions while doing everything else? Should Modern Geneticists contact Daesh for the real info on the origin of life? Swallowing Islamic doctrine is a process of stupefaction.

    Allah isn’t threatening to kill anyone, he’s just words on a page. It’s these Daesh and other 7th century Neanderthals who use the Quran and Sunnah as justification for their evil hearts. It is they who must be rooted out by whatever means necessary and without regard to collateral damage to such an extent that it strikes terror into the heart of anyone who contemplates militant Jihad.

    Anything less and the West will be fighting in their own streets for survival. It’s time to stop hoping for change and getting a nickel for the effort.

      I like how you said that.
      Lets hope it does not happen.

      Sure seems like we are in the minority though.
      Perhaps its an illusion.

      I agree – utter nonsense. But so is god speaking to Moses through a burning bush. Or the virgin birth, immaculate conception, original sin … hell, the notion that there’s an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent supreme being (ital) that gives a shit about this hairless ape.

      The distinguishing feature of these a-holes is how their world view resembles that of Hitler. Kampf=struggle=jihad…coincidence…?

      Happy Thanksgiving

    Bye Bye ISIS! Go after Georgians? They are crazier than Sicilians. The woman and girls will greet them with knives aimed at their hearts. Bring it! You’ll get some, then they’ll destroy all.

    Good luck, idiots.

    On a hill above Tbilisi stands Kartvlis Deda – Mother Georgia. In one hand, she holds grapes, to welcome with wine those who come as friends. In the other, a sword, for those who come as enemies. This sums up nicely the Georgians I know and all that I have seen and experienced there.

    If you are a friend or a guest, Georgians will go out of their way to welcome you, and ply you with some of the tastiest wine and food on earth, and are good and loyal friends. Come as an enemy, and you’ll find out just how tenacious these people are in defending their land.

    If there is one nation I cannot imagine kneeling to jihadi rats, it has to be Saqartvelo.

        That’s what Georgians and Russians will do. even the Prussian mafia is scared of Georgians.
        Opperate like a mafia, have NO mercy. In that region it’s the only thing that works.

    “God is very strict” – and billions of “muslims” are going to find that out one day. It will be shock and awe quite unlike Iraq. “You mean you didn’t say kill people?” “You mean I can’t earn a right stading with You?” “What is that lake over there that appears to be on fire…” “Hey, wait…”

    Yes! Unlike the west who not only ignores History but despises it, moslems know their History quite well and do not feel any shame of it. But know they will not just fight Georgia. They will fight against Russia and Russia is nit America and Putin is not an crazy american liberal. If the lunatics want a total war, they will have. After what Turkey has done esterday, I see the confirmation of my fears. Slowly but steadily the world is sliding to an ucharted territory… war maybe…

    Thanks to ISIS most Muslims believe the end times have come and allah will come soon.These believers of evil would wholeheartedly support ISIS in every possible way. The world is blind to this real possibility and is ignoring the people itching for war on all non believers.

    As you said more players might get their boots into this region and some might go for all out war.

    Don’t know if 3rd WW can be averted.

    Russia didn’t come there to fight terror. They came to massacre Sunnis on the behalf of the radical Shiite terrorists: Assad, Iraqi and Lebanese Hezbollahs, Houthis and Iran.
