“It is believed that the video was released yesterday, and that it’s [sic] title takes its inspiration from Quranic verse 33:23 which reads: ‘Of the believers are men who are true to that which they covenanted to Allah. Some of them have paid their vow by death (in battle), and some of them still are waiting; and they have not altered in the least.'”
One might almost get the crazy idea that the Islamic State had something to do with Islam, if we didn’t have John Kerry and Pope Francis and all the rest to explain to us how it ain’t so.
“ISIS gunmen use machine guns to carry out mass executions in sickening new footage,” by Kara O’Neill, Mirror, October 10, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Horrifying footage has purportedly been released by ISIS showing mass executions throughout a city in Iraq.
The terror group has been captured on camera killing a number of victims, thought to be living in Kirkuk, a city in the north of Iraq, some 200km from Baghdad.
In the clip, soldiers are seen escorting a group of men in blindfolds and pushing them into the back of the truck.
Moments later, the clip cuts to images of dead bodies lying on the ground. Other images show victims being shot at close range.
At the end of the clip, ISIS militants bury the body of soldier Bilal al-Iraqi….
The video has been titled: “Men who have been true to their covenant with Allah” and appears to celebrate the ISIS members carrying out the brutal executions.
It is believed that the video was released yesterday, and that it’s [sic] title takes its inspiration from Quranic verse 33:23 which reads: “Of the believers are men who are true to that which they covenanted to Allah.
“Some of them have paid their vow by death (in battle), and some of them still are waiting; and they have not altered in the least.”
The terror group’s fighters are turning towns into no-go zones by littering them with crude improvised explosive devices (IEDs) as they retreat….

“I am a former Muslim if someone were to ask me, ‘Is Islamic state Islamic’?
My answer would be, ‘Yes, they follow Islam better than liberal Muslims.’
Hadith records,
Sahih Muslim 2405–Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) called ‘Ali b. Abu Talib and he conferred (this honour) upon him and said: Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory, and ‘Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: Allah’s Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people?Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger
Please note:
Ali asked Muhammad, ‘Muhammad! On what issue should I fight with the people?’
Muhammad replied, ‘Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger.’
In other words, what is the main reason for fighting? Unbelief in Islam.”

Did you revert to Islam or were you born into it?
Why did you leave?
Do you now practice a different religion?

YAHWE = Allah, Issa = Masih, Muhammad = Rassoul Shaitan
Praeceptor Maximus says
Two thousand years ago, the son of a carpenter walked the shores of Galilee to deliver the message of love. Six hundred years later, a barbarian from the Arabian Peninsula rose to deliver the message of hate. The former preached the Gospel; the latter preached the Quran. The former brought salvation; the latter brought sword. The former had missionaries; the later had mercenaries. And those mercenaries are still engaged in murder.
Dacritic says
Maximus, since you mentioned sword, I wanted to share something interesting. The carpenter that you mentioned above told his disciples that he did not come to bring peace to the Earth, but that he brought a sword. Critics of this carpenter like to point to this passage and use it to say that he was not in actual fact a peaceful man.
A more careful look at this carpenter’s words preceding and following the sword quote reveals that really, instead of the carpenter’s followers using the sword on others, the sword would be used AGAINST the carpenter’s followers themselves. The carpenter said he would be sending his followers out like “sheep among wolves” and that they would be hated and killed because of him. When one of the carpenter’s followers later on sliced off a soldier’s ear with his sword, the carpenter told his follower to put away that darn thing.
Just my two cents on what the contexts say about “sword” in both the cases of the carpenter and the Arabian barbarian… in case you decided to put your above brilliant quote into less friendly discussion sites.

Thank you for your input. Yes, Muslims and those hostile to Christianity are always ready to take things out of context and throw them back at us that Jesus was not as peaceful as we make him out to be. But then Muslims are experts at taking things out of context. For instance, they are so quick to quote 2:256 of the Quran,”Let there be no compulsion in religion” but they don’t like to speak of the Wars of Apostasy that was fought after Muhammad’s death when so many of his followers apostatized from Islam. Or the verse 4:89 when it orders to kill those who turn away from Allah, or hadith 14 that commands the killing of apostates.
john spielman says
yes and the SWORD that Jesus and St Paul talks about is a SPIRITUAL, not a physical, sword – the sword of the “Spirit which is the word of God” that divides between soul and spirit

Thank you.

So the murderers are now covering their faces, presumably so that the military drones don’t recognise their facial images. Next they’ll be wearing burkas in order to disguise their broader forms and body language.
stephanie valentine says
its a book that was written years ago, people are dying for nothing ,it doesnt matter what a book says , a god , did not write a book a man did a very sick man ,,the killing needs to stop ,get a life build a future instead of destroying everything you cannot make people believe what they dnt want to , even if you kill them fact ,
Angemon says
Yes – Paris, London, Malmo, etc.

“it’s [sic] title”
Its SICK title?
John Marst says
The video has been titled: “Men who have been true to their covenant with Allah.”
The title says it all because Islamic State is the gold standard of Muslim purity, not some watered-down nonsense espoused by hypocrites and unbelievers. Real Muslims will accept no substitutes and will behave accordingly, whether in the Middle East, Europe or North America.
