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

Islamic State executes teen for missing Friday prayers

Mar 6, 2016 4:38 pm By Robert Spencer

“Before carrying out the execution, a Sharia official read a statement issued by the ISIS Sharia Court, vowing everyone who misses prayers at the mosque to face a similar punishment.” Classifying missing Friday prayers as apostasy is extraordinarily severe, but on the other hand, there is nothing in Islamic law that would forbid or rule out such a classification.

And once apostasy is established, death is the punishment mandated in Islamic law. A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence.

This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The majority of them, including the four main schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali) as well as the other four schools of jurisprudence (the four Shiite schools of Az-Zaidiyyah, Al-Ithna-‘ashriyyah, Al-Ja’fariyyah, and Az-Zaheriyyah) agree that apostates must be executed.”

Qaradawi also once famously said: “If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment, Islam wouldn’t exist today.”

So it would be refreshing if someone would explain in light of this how the Islamic State is not behaving Islamically, but no one will.

Islamic State beheads man

“Islamic State publicly executes Syrian teenager on charges of ‘apostasy,’” by Salar Qassim, ARA News, March 6, 2016:

ALEPPO – Extremists of the Islamic State (ISIS) executed Saturday a teenage boy in Syria’s northern Aleppo province after accusing him of ‘apostasy’, local activists and eyewitnesses reported.

The 16-year-old victim was arrested in the ISIS-held city of Jarablus north of Aleppo for missing Friday prayers at the mosque.

“The teenage boy, who faced charges of apostasy, was beheaded in front of a huge crowd in central Jarablus on Saturday,” local media activist Nasser Taljbini told ARA News.

The victim was accused by the Sharia Court of violating the Islamic law, and ordered his execution in public on charges of apostasy, the source reported.

“Before carrying out the execution, a Sharia official read a statement issued by the ISIS Sharia Court, vowing everyone who misses prayers at the mosque to face a similar punishment,” an eyewitness told ARA News, speaking on condition of anonymity.

    Contrary to rumors otherwise, I don’t hate Islam.

    Islam is a joke
    A sick disgusting joke but nonetheless –a JOKE

    • John Thomas says

      Mar 6, 2016 at 4:48 pm

      The dictionary says:-

      “Joke. a noun, a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.”

      Now that’s what one calls a “punchline”.

      Sick,

      It is not a joke. . .it is a degradation, and an ignorance of the worst kind ; it is a unmitigated moral faillure and disaster by interpreation and agenda. . .and it is an absolute tragedy, for it’s victims. . .

      • Jay Boo says

        Mar 6, 2016 at 9:07 pm

        Yes, it is a tragedy and an unmitigated moral failure
        The beast is Islam.

        But, I refuse to merely (hate) Islam, for that gives Islam power that it has not earned.

        Most Muslims would rather have us hate them and their sick twisted ideology then have us mock its FRAGILE foundation.

        Islam’s FRAGILE foundation
        1 –Burn their idolatrous book (the Qur’an) and every Muslim feels the vulnerability of the shallowness of Islam.
        2 — Any Muslim who converts or does not publically pray will cause their insecure and jealous Allah to throw a hissy fit and run away.
        3 –Draw the pretender prophet Muhammad or mock his disgraceful life and Muslims everywhere will rise up in a panic and be full of strife.

        Islam is not merely despicable it is VULNERABLE because it is an obvious joke fully ripened awaiting to mocked for all of its well earned reputation for disgrace.

      When a child is murdered for missing prayers, it exposes the grinning mask of death known as allahwallah, laughing at the ridiculous humans sacrificed it by the psychopathic moMAD. Human sacrifice is not the nightmare memory of the ancient world, but practised every day in this.

      You’ve got to hand it to Mo, he makes every cult leader that has ever existed before or since look like clueless wimps. Scientology, Moonies, Children of God et al – what rank amateurs and losers!

      It is tolerated by the fascism of Leftist ‘political correctness’. . .and by way of their shared ‘hatreds’; and love for the totalitarian. On our personal proximity. . .by Obama, the Muslim-Hearted. . . and his BFF, the Muslim Brotherhood and by turn, their ‘shared’ goals.

    I’m surprised RS didn’t mention these hadith in relation to missing prayers:

    Bukhari Volume 1, Book 11, Number 626:

    Narrated Abu Huraira:

    The Prophet said, “No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr and the ‘Isha’ prayers and if they knew the reward for these prayers at their respective times, they would certainly present themselves (in the mosques) even if they had to c awl.” The Prophet added, “Certainly I decided to order the Mu’adh-dhin (call-maker) to pronounce Iqama and order a man to lead the prayer and then take a fire flame to burn all those who had not left their houses so far for the prayer along with their houses.”

    Volume 1, Book 11, Number 617:

    Narrated Abu Huraira:

    Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is I was about to order for collecting fire-wood (fuel) and then order Someone to pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and then order someone to lead the prayer then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not present themselves for the (compulsory congregational) prayer.

    So it’s burning or execution if you’re a “hypocrite”, the word Muhammad and the Qur’an uses to describe people who call themselves muslim, but didn’t give complete obedience to Allah/ Muhammad. In other words, “moderate muslims”……..

    • Jay Boo says

      Mar 6, 2016 at 5:18 pm

      Satanic verses

      Allah’s Apostle was a “hypocrite”, who also said the devil tricked him into worship of other deities other than Allah..
      Muhammad’s prayers to other than Allah do not count toward the five prayers.
      —————————

      Desert spirits spoke in twisted verse, a dance of words to recite, to recite.
      Medina’s false prophet this rehearsed in a dark cave near Mecca veiled by night.
      But, the angel Gabriel saw his descent, and said “Pawn of Satan turn, repent, repent.”

    • mortimer says

      Mar 6, 2016 at 10:38 pm

      ‘Moderate’ Muslims are actually non-practicing ‘hypocrites’ who should be executed under strict Sharia.

      Moderate Muslims are moderately Muslim.

    I will never understand how someone can willfully bend over to be beheaded.

    • catinfla says

      Mar 6, 2016 at 7:01 pm

      ‘Willfully? Hope you never find out, what fear allows – even by most desperate rationale – and what the man, sans humanity, and with his sword is ready to do; if one does not comply. The best one can hope for, at this point; it a merciful quickness of blade. . .and deftness, per target.

    • Brodie says

      Mar 6, 2016 at 7:02 pm

      The tragedy is – that poor soul actually believed the lie and is dammed. He willingly bent over in submission to the very last.

      Look closely at these pictures on this web site, you will actually see the Mark of the Beast on the forehead and right hand/arm of a good portion of these lost people – In the name of Allah.

      http://www.teachingfaith.com/files/the_last_days_ebook/the_last_days_series_vol_4_nxpowerlite.pdf

      If you are a follower of Christ, pray for these people. Perhaps a few will have that change of mind concerning Jesus, but it will cost them their life here on earth.

    • Jay Boo says

      Mar 6, 2016 at 9:49 pm

      TJ,
      Muslims willfully bend over and offer Allah their willing submission.

      — But why do you so WILLFULLY put all the blame on the victim?
      Are you excusing Islam?

      catinfla is correct in saying “The best one can hope for, at this point; it a merciful quickness of blade”

      I can’t talk about the guy in the pic, but if it were me, there was no way out and the audience were shrieking and hoping to see me cry, or beg for my life, or cower in fear, I’d go with a “Get on with it, jackass, I don’t have all day” attitude and greet death with a smile as a final, defiant, metaphorical middle finger to them, since I couldn’t extend any of my actual middle fingers on the grounds that my hands would be literally tied behind my back.

  6. Dom1 says

    Mar 6, 2016 at 5:19 pm

    This is what they want to establish across the world and what we cant afford to ignore. Some of the crowd behind the execution seem to be smiling like its some form of entertainment. There is already blood on the sword before it comes down so it gets plenty of use. They really should get troops on the ground to wipe these evil creatures out. It has gone on too long and is a terrible obscenity on humanity

  7. Lucretius says

    May this extraordinary severity be a strong sign of a collapsing morale and desertion it’s being used to struggle against.

    The best way to protest Islam is not to criticize it directly, but to call attention to victims — not by email or internet, but speaking in person to politicians, journalists, priests, pastors, etc. The Left is defenseless if you point out genuine victims, provided you carefully check your facts for accuracy, and misrepresentation is scrupulously avoided. One need not even mention Islam, but just talk about victims’ situation, and people will connect the dots.. Check Raymond Ibrahim’s site for reports on victims.

  13. Liam1304 says

    Reliance of the Traveller, f 1.3 under the section “Who must pray”:~

    “Someone raised among Muslims who denies the obligatoriness of prayer… thereby becomes an unbeliever (kafir) and is executed for his unbelief.”

    End of discussion.

    • mortimer says

      Mar 6, 2016 at 10:43 pm

      That’s it! All non-practicing Muslims could be similarly executed according to discriminatory Sharia.

      That’s why Muslims cannot support the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that insists it is a right to change your religion.

      • Jay Boo says

        Mar 6, 2016 at 11:18 pm

        Your premise does no support your conclusion.

        The reality is that:
        Muslims cannot support the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that insists it is a right to change your religion is: …

        — because Islam has no true foundation to support Muhammad’s claims of being a prophet and cannot sustain itself by its convoluted non-chronological hate speech posing as revelations..

  14. mortimer says

    Mar 6, 2016 at 10:29 pm

    Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr and the ‘Isha’ prayers and if they knew the reward for these prayers at their respective times, they would certainly present themselves (in the mosques) even if they had to crawl.” The Prophet added, “Certainly I decided to order the Mu’adh-dhin (call-maker) to pronounce Iqama and order a man to lead the prayer and then take a fire flame to burn all those who had not left their houses so far for the prayer along with their houses.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari/ Vol 1:617 & 626)

    Death threats are normative Sunna of Mohammed (sacred example of the pedophile pirate). Muslims must imitate Mohammed, the perfect man and assassin of his followers. Those who execute apostates will receive a great reward in paradise.

    • Jay Boo says

      Mar 6, 2016 at 10:53 pm

      Islam is such a pathetic JOKE.
      The reality of course is that Muhammad’s carnal lust 72 virgin promise proves beyond all doubt that nothing about Islam is sacred.

      Those who execute apostates will receive a nothing but Islam’s hateful bitter emptiness.

      Islam is no excuse — for what Muslims do.

    The crafty purpose of periodic compulsory assemblies is to verify that everyone is present, and that no-one has deserted.

    • Keys says

      Mar 7, 2016 at 4:22 pm

      Yep, for Friday Prayers; and when everyone bends down for required prayers throughout the day, it’s very easy for those in charge to see who is not bending.

      Compare with Jesus’ when you pray go in to your room and close the door.

  17. Amir Dewana says

    Mar 7, 2016 at 6:34 am

    Beheading has been a long-standing, ever-present and oft-mentioned word _I regret to say this_ in moslem lexicography. Almost all of the Middle Eastern regimes condone or at least turn a blind eye when it has been running rampant following the presence of ISIS.

  18. vcragain says

    Mar 7, 2016 at 7:08 am

    Sick, slimy, disgusting people – did we ever in the West think that we would be hearing talk of beheadings on a regular everyday basis. I must say I am beginning to feel so tired of this that I am not sorry i am old and cannot stay for longer than 15 years or so ! The West will have to confront this menace asap or the infiltration of civil society by these monsters will destroy all trace of the best of our society. They really have no concept of love & charity, all is totalitarian violence, the males have permanent itchy b*lls, and really there is NOTHING that would make anyone consider joining this monstrosity of a cult. How they manage to ‘inspire’ converts is totally beyond me !

  19. Angemon says

    Mar 7, 2016 at 7:37 am

    Classifying missing Friday prayers as apostasy is extraordinarily severe,

    Perhaps they can’t afford to be lenient because the war is not progressing as they expected it to be?

  20. Richard Paulsen says

    Still living in the stone age. ANYONE who believes in a book is just plain dumb. That’s ALL religions.

  22. John Buck says

    Mar 7, 2016 at 5:31 pm

    Well, that settles it.
    It’s better to be Sunni, where missing Friday prays earns you a quick beheading. Being Shia and accused of homosexuality leads to getting your anus super-glued shut, so that your guts eventually explode.
