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

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Muslim Woman Who Beheaded Child: Allah Made Me Do It

Mar 3, 2016 7:02 am By Robert Spencer

And he did, as I explain in FrontPage today:

Muslim woman-severed-head

Gulchekhra Bobokulova horrified the world Monday when she went to a Moscow metro station with the severed head of four-year-old Nastya Meshcheryakova, whom she served as a nanny, and began waving the poor girl’s head around while screaming “Allahu akbar.” Once Russian police got around to arresting her (she brandished the head and raved for fully twenty minutes), she was immediately subjected to multiple psychiatric evaluations; however, her own explanation for why she did it was simple: “It was what Allah ordered.”

And he did. The Qur’an says: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4). It doesn’t exempt nannies from this command, or exclude four-year-old girls from the pool of unbelievers who should be beheaded. It just says, “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” – no ifs, ands or buts. That’s what the Qur’an says, and that’s what Gulchekhra Bobokulova did.

At this point, of course, the John Espositos and Karen Armstrongs and Reza Aslans of the world would recoil in horror – a horror even greater than they might have felt when they saw the video of the hijabbed Gulchekhra with Nastya’s severed head and knew that here was yet another PR disaster for the religion whose image they’re forever trying to burnish. That passage of the Qur’an, they would insist (if they deigned to engage their opponents in rational discussion and debate, which they do not, and do not need to, since they have total control of academia and the mainstream media), does not mean that individual Muslims should just go around lopping off the heads of infidels, especially infidels who are four-year-old girls. In the first place, they would say, it refers only to unbelievers one meets in battle, and Gulchekhra Bobokulova is not a Muslim warrior engaged in a war against non-Muslim forces, and Nastya Meshcheryakova was likewise not a combatant in any such war.

It’s true: that beheading the unbelievers is an action limited to the battlefield is a common interpretation of that passage among Muslims. The popular English Qur’an translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali renders the passage thusly: “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks.” Another, by Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall, has it “Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks.” And so Gulchekhra Bobokulova is just another of the multitudes of Muslims who misunderstand their religion, no?

No. Police are searching for a boyfriend of Bobokulova who has links to the Islamic State. The Islamic State certainly considers itself to be at war with the non-Muslim world, and has repeatedly called upon Muslims in non-Muslim countries to murder non-Muslims in lone wolf attacks. In September 2014, the Islamic State issued a lengthy call to Muslims to murder non-Muslim civilians; it included this: “Will you leave the disbeliever to sleep safely at home while the Muslim women and children shiver with fear of the roars of the crusader airplanes above their heads day and night?” The claim that the “crusaders” are victimizing children is significant in light of this Qur’an verse: “So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you” (2:194). Thus if the “crusaders” are killing Muslim children, then Muslims must kill “crusader” children. Could Gulchekhra Bobokulova’s Islamic State boyfriend have exhorted her to kill the child in her care in revenge for the children allegedly killed in Russian airstrikes against the Islamic State?

The possibility should not be dismissed out of hand, although it will be. In court Wednesday, Bobokulova was asked if would ask Nastya’s parents to forgive her. Holding up one finger, the sign of allegiance to the Islamic State, she replied: “I will ask nobody. Only Allah.” When asked, “What did Allah order you to do?,” she answered, “To kill.” Nonetheless, the Telegraph reported that “no clear motive has been established.”

Of course. Jihad is never a motive. Even when the jihadi confesses to being a jihadi and killing on orders from Allah, Western officials and journalists, certain that violence against unbelievers has nothing to do with the Religion of Peace, will discount what is said and ascribe the behavior to mental illness, climate change, whatever sounds remotely plausible enough to keep the masses complacent, ignorant, and not interested in asking questions.

It is they who in fact are mentally ill, insofar as mental illness means an inability or unwillingness to accept reality and deal with other people on the basis of it. The beheading of Nastya Meshcheryakova by the Allahu-akbaring Gulchekhra Bobokulova, and the subsequent search for a motive, indicates anew just how severely mental illness currently afflicts the political and media elites all over the non-Muslim world. We can only hope these elites recover their sanity, or are swept out of all positions of power and influence, before their affliction kills us all.

    When it comes to invoking the death penalty in these cases, the only psychiatric evaluation needed is:

    They can’t all be “crazy.”

    The woman was mentally disturbed, she heard voices, and since they were the bad Allah type voices, she would naturally choose decapitation to carry out the will of God. She is not the only one to hear voices. Check out the Daily Mail where you can get some really weird stories – some of which might actually be true!

      What the Hell is wrong with you Atheist7? So you found a pissy little article in the Daily Mail! Wow. Big F…… Deal. Are you blind? Why don’t you simply check out the references already given in the article above by Robert Spencer?

    I just checked out not the Rose Down your Throat write up in the Daily Mail – but the Daily Mail write up of our Russian Decapitator Chick. This is a must read and see. The write up gives much detail and there are many photos – too many.

    Allah is a Best Deceiver who Never proved itself as God n Never appeared physically to all mankind.

    These Muslims are trained to lie all infidels and even the same people.

    We should expect the former while working on the latter. It’s the only way to make sure.

    Q. Does anyone need any further evidence that this horrific disease known as Islam MUST NOT be allowed to spread?
    I think that , at least among those of us who still have a working BRAIN! And are able to use that ancient method called LOGIC, it has been crystal clear for a long time.
    (1.) Since we have no way of sorting out the “decent folk” from the millions of terrorist “wan’ a bees”,
    (2.) That, the ONLY SAFE SOLUTION IS do not let them into our open, democratic western society’s. PERIOD!
    (3.) To allow a single corrupt or Traitorous politician to import them, by the hundreds of thousands, is nothing but national suicide. IT IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF INSANITY!

    ……………………….

    “Allah made me do it”–this is the story of every Jihad terrorist. It is love of their foul sanguinary deity that makes all of them so it.

    God, I hate Islam.

    What is the probability that the parents are diversity bots and multicultural dipshits? After all, who else could be so stupid as to hire a Mooseleema to be their nanny?

    A gruesome act on a innocent child. Interesting that a person described as mentally ill, hearing voices, was able to defend her act, by a accurate description of a command from the Quran.or Allah…she may have heard that she could deceive and was justified in her delusional mind to act on what she read.

    No doubt that is dangerous reading material for a mentally ill person. The fact that she is Russian…was not the cause.

    Large groups of mentally ill around the world who are beheading human beings who hear voices.

    This women who committed that heinous action of evil did so because she had a violent and murderous mindset because of her violent and murderous religion. To put it in another, the hideous violence and deadly spirit of her religion, Islam, produced and inspired violence and death in and by her behavior.
    This women and other Muslims like her do world very hard ,by their own actions, to prove that Islam is really a death cult.

    The problem is of course, that the too many people are ignorant as pig shit.
    The Bible clearly warns against failure to discriminate against Anti-Christ people.
    The word “Discriminate” means to discern the difference.
    The bottom line is:- Anyone who propagates false doctrine about Jesus Christ is an Anti-Christ, and anyone who assists an Anti-Christ becomes implicated in their evil deeds.
    Muslims are Anti-Christs. Anyone who allows a muslim over their threshold is either an infidel themselves or they are very ignorant and foolish.
    (2 John 1:7-11)
    (7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an Antichrist.
    (8) Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
    (9) Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
    (10) If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
    (11) For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

      …. and so rooare, per your post… what’s YOUR point? perhaps you could follow up w/your own quote….

    “Allah made me do it”. The problem is that Muslims are confusing who they refer to as allah with God. In reality they are in fact serving Satan and doing so very faithfully.
