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

Islamic State crucifies man for collaborating with the “Crusader coalition”

May 16, 2016 8:32 am By Robert Spencer

“Crucifixion is mentioned in the Quran as a punishment to those who wish to corrupt the land and its inhabitants. It’s not a cruel punishment. It’s entirely in keeping with Islam.”

That’s true: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.” (Qur’an 5:33)

Not that this has anything to do with…

Abdelhadi Issa Salem crucified

“GRAPHIC PHOTOS: Islamic State ‘Crucifies’ Syrian For Collaborating With ‘Crusader Coalition,’” by Aaron Klein and Ali Waked, Breitbart, May 14, 2016:

JAFFA, Israel – A Syrian man has been “crucified” by the Islamic State for collaborating with the US-led “Crusader coalition.”

The man, a resident of a town near Raqqa, the so-called capital of the IS caliphate, was executed by gunshot and then tied to a lamppost, or a “cross,” IS said in a statement.

They attached a sign to his body, saying: “Name: Abdelhadi Issa Salem. Crime: collaborating with the Crusader coalition. Sentence: execution and crucifixion.” Some of the images can be seen below as distributed by the Islamic State’s internal Telegraph Forum, an encrypted message service for IS members and supporters. Breitbart Jerusalem obtained the photos from within the forum.

Former IS militant Abu Bakr Almaqdesi, a resident of Gaza, told Breitbart Jerusalem that he had previously witnessed the crucifixion of convicted traitors and other felons while fighting for IS in Iraq and Syria several months ago.

“Crucifixion is mentioned in the Quran as a punishment to those who wish to corrupt the land and its inhabitants,” he said. “It’s not a cruel punishment. It’s entirely in keeping with Islam.”

“It would be wrong to see it as a punishment for collaborating with the Crusader coalition,” he added. “I don’t think that’s what the brothers had in mind when they sentenced him. They simply chose a Quranic punishment that was commensurate with his crime.”

“The crucifixion has nothing to do with the fact that the Crusaders are Christian, for the simple reason that we Muslims don’t think Jesus, peace be upon him, was crucified. The Quran says that his followers thought he was crucified when they saw a crucified man who looked like him. There was no intention of offending Christianity.”

What a relief.

    So it’s ‘not cruel’ because it’s justified in the Qu’ran. Therefore, by extension, everything and anything is OK if the Qu’ran says it’s OK, whatever anyone else thinks. Not exactly a good recipe for social cohesion in all those lovely, enriched ‘multicuktural’ areas, is it?

    Based on your own document, this was NOT a crucifixion.

    The man, a resident of a town near Raqqa, the so-called capital of the IS caliphate, was executed by gunshot and then tied to a lamppost, or a “cross,” IS said in a statement.

    The guy was shot – and then hung up for display. As I understand it, it takes many hours or even days to die from crucifixion.

    Crime: collaborating with the Crusader coalition.

    Or so they say. For all I know, someone just didn’t like the way the poor guy looked at them and made a false report.

    I have seen some very disturbing photos of children being hung, tortured and killed in Syria. I cannot believe the depravity of people who would do this. Can any one inform me if this slaughter of children is sanctioned by Islam? Do Islamic sources support this?
    Thanks guys!

      If they or their parents don’t follow the rules / participate in the IS, they are all (men, women, children of every age) considered as infidels/kufars who are “worse than animals” by the koran. You can find many “advices” how they are to be treated in that satanic book. Muslims have no souls!!! They are perverts by all means. That’s why they don’t mind to torture and kill little ones for Mohammads (and their own) pleasure.

      In Islam a male is an adult if signs of puberty are present and a female if she menstruating . When the males of the Jewish tribe ,Banu Quarayza ,were butchered in Medina (approx. 800),the boys were checked for signs of puberty . Those that had them were beheaded with the men. This is still being done by Islamic Jihadist terrorists. Mohammad also gave his permission to slaughter Women and children at a battle because they were of them,the enemy.(Sahih Bukhari). A child can be killed if it is known that the child will not become Muslim.

    The cruel ,vicious and murderous jihadists thugs who composes the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS are actually putting in to the practice ,with all their ruthless actions, the violence and killing that is part of the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam ,the Koran. Which contain the doctrine of extreme violent force for the advancement of Islam. As seen in the Koran, for example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. So in spite of the strong denials by many, ISIS is an actual Islamic organization. Likewise the malicious, bloodthirsty violence jihadists who make up ISIS are real Muslims. Nevertheless, there are some who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malice-filled ,unfeeling and deadly ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.

    I live for now in a State with a large Muslim Population. (Minnesota) On our Christian radio stations we now have a Security company running ads offering to train selected Church Members in the use of firearms for security during Services.

    With the large influx of Somalis into St. Paul, the housing market in the Conservation/Christian suburbs is booming!

    May God Help us from this happening here.

    “Islamic State crucifies man for collaborating with the ‘Crusader coalition’”

    Indeed, part of the fruits of Islam Patraeus is too cowardly to speak to:

    He … shied from stating, many of the so-called Muslims of which he speaks, who, fought or fight alongside our troops, with us, for our cause and not for the only cause and reason the Muslims is Allah and Allah’s Messenger allowed and ordered to fight for; for so doing, have been slaughtered.

    Slaughtered at the hands of the Allah-obedient. Slaughtered according and in obedience to the tenets of the Islam Patraeus begs we refrain from showing in a less than honorable light.

    In addition to the above worthy-of-addressing issues, Patraeus likewise shied from speaking to the fact that the lion’s share of the aforementioned at threat from the basic tenets of Islam; they pray, hope, or wish for Non-Muslims to find the backbone, the courage, the fortitude to address Islam for what its “sacred texts” show it is. Bring into light the realities of that faith-system. Thus help, save, free those suffering, those marred, those marked for slaughtered because of what is written in the established text of Qur’an and Sunnah.

    Indeed, practicing what he preaches, Patraeus refrained from mentioning what one typically notes in articles posted at Jihad Watch: seemingly daily, someone is, oftentimes many are, by the hands of “believers” threatened, marred, dismembered, or slaughtered in obedience to the guidance and the tenets of Islam.)

    Gruesome public executions were, indeed, widespread and not entirely Islamic–they predated Islam and survived alongside it. But we’ve learned not to do that any more. Islam hasn’t, and won’t, because Allah likes that sort of thing so they’ve got to keep doing it.

      Yes .These punishments were secular,not inspired by the gospels.Many in the church disapproved of these cruel punishments. It was not normal however; most criminals were just hanged. They could claim “benefit of clergy” (not for treason) .this was originally granted only to churchmen but later was extended. It could be used once. The accused was branded on the thumb and often released or fined or incarcerated for a while.

    The trauma inflicted on the children over there is barbaric. Kids have to walk those streets and see this horror.
    No wonder by the time they are 10 they are no better than the adults. They can easily cut your throat.
    How can anyone think this is what God wants? Our “leaders” tell us that we benefit from other cultures so we should be as multicultural as possible. There is nothing good with this culture. Even a small dose of it spreads and eventually decays everything it comes in contact with.
