“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

“Isis member linked to the murder of a Catholic priest in France says beheading ‘enemies of Allah’ is ‘a pleasure’ but leaving his pet cat was the saddest thing about moving to Syria,” by Hannah Al-othman, Mailonline, November 19, 2016:
An Islamic State leader has spoken out about his life as one of the world’s most wanted terrorists in a startlingly frank interview.
In the sensational interview, Rachid Kassim claimed beheading ISIS prisoners was ‘a pleasure’ and said the saddest thing about fleeing France for Syria was leaving his pet cat behind.
He is one of the world’s most wanted men after he was linked to a string of terror attacks in Europe, including the murder of a Catholic priest near Normandy in France, and the slaughter of a policeman and his partner near Paris.
French-born Kassim also appeared in a propaganda video for Islamic State just six days after Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhel murdered 86 people in the July Nice terror attack, which took place in on Bastille Day.
In the footage he praised the attack, promised more atrocities in France, and beheaded a prisoner on film.
The 29-year-old is also believed to have run an encrypted app called Telegram, used by jihadists to share tips on how to carry out terror attacks….
Kassim gave the on-the-record interview to Washington-based academic Amarnath Amarasingam, who researches jihadism, the Mirror reports.
When asked how it had felt to behead a prisoner, he said: ‘To behead an animal, it would be difficult, with enemies of Allah, it is a pleasure.’
Kassim, also known as Ibn Qassim. also revealed that he fled France after being placed under constant surveillance because of his radical views.
Kassim has been linked to the murder of priest Jacques Hamel in the church of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, Normandy
He left for Syria in the middle of the night, taking his wife and young daughter with him with just 1,500 Euros in his pocket.
‘I thought of attacking France when I was there, and my family was afraid because of it,’ he said.
‘The cops knew about me. Every time I went jogging, there were always two cops following me. Then they hide. It was ridiculous.
‘We left everything behind. Especially my cat. I had a wonderful cat that I left in Gaziantep. It was one of the saddest things about my hijrah (migration to Syria).’
The terror leader, who said he does not fear the defeat of ISIS in Mosul, also claimed that any attempts made by western authorities to stop jihadists travelling to Syria would only result in more atrocities on home soil.
‘We believe that even a small attack in dar ul-kufr (non-Muslim lands) is better than a big attack in Syria,’ he said.
‘As the door of hijrah closes, the door of jihad opens. If I stayed in dar ul-kufr, I would do an attack there.’
He also used his first on the record interview to encourage his followers to carry out more atrocities.
‘Before the attack, send me a video with an oath of allegiance,’ he said.

islam: the religion of mass murderers thieves liars rapists and pedophiles
why cannot this religion of pure evil, of Satan himself, be sued out of existence in the Western world’s courts (just like the KKK had ALL its assets seized)

Don’t worry, the Pope has ruled that none of this has nothing to do with Islam.
Tradiguy says
He isn’t the pope Bill. No true pope would say anything so stupid. He is an imposter, an anti pope, a globalist, a Marxist! who needs kicking out and sent to live in a shithole with his Muslim friends. Things will not improve until a true Catholic Pope is elected, Christian dogma ireturned and protected by Christians.
Robert_k says
Like I said, Islam has very humane slaughter laws. They practice on infidels’ necks before they do it on animals.

Of course, this is bs. The idea that most Westerners work for stealth Jihadists like Nathan Lean, as does the witless Jordan Denari, is quite false.
Further, even this willfully ignorant twit would no doubt take issue with beheading. It is just that she has convinced herself that this is not really Islamic–terribly dangerous, of course, but *very* different from actually supporting this barbarism.
When Vladimir Putin said that Christian Orthodoxy is “closer to Islam than Catholicism is”, I found that incredibly ignorant and terribly dangerous, but I do not take that as his saying that Christian Orthodoxy hence countenances beheading unbelievers.

Dear Christianblood , what is your opinion : is there anything positive/worthwile concerning Western Civilization/ the Western World ? This is NOT A RHETORICAL QUESTION Christianblood .
Christianblood says
Ernie
Whatever was positive and worthwhile in the Western civilization is now drowning under the huge weight of cultural relativism and political-correctness. I think, the healthcare system is very good in the West but it lacks deeper spiritual dimension to it. Medical community treat people like they are only physical beings or machines! God bless you Ernie!

Dear Graven, when did I say that? Do you have any prove?
Angemon says
Do you deny it, CB? If you don’t, then there’s no reason to ask for “any prove”. Seems like you’re banking on that the posts GI is alluding to were removed when you were temporarily suspended a while back so you can play the classic Soviet game of “rewrite history”…
Of course, if you never said – or even feel – that way, spit it out – say that you never said such a thing. Say that GI is wrong. Say that you never claimed that the West deserved any of the islamic terror attacks it endured.

Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)
Is this a correct translation? Take a look at the seven translations of Q47:4 in
http://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=47&verse=4
The circumstance of meeting unbelievers is stated variously as: [in battle], in battle, (in fight), in battle, in a battle, (in fight Jihad in Allah’s Cause), –. The last translation makes no reference to battle, but the other translations say “battle” or “fight” either explicitly or by implication (indicated by brackets or parentheses).
So which is it? When I meet an infidel, do I chop off his head only when he and I are in a battle, or always, or is the head-chopping optional and left to my decision? How can I obey Allah’s instructions when Allah (or Allah’s translator) is so vague?
Lucretius says
When you pledge allegiance to your Caliph Baghdadi he declares to you the circumstance of “battle” and then the passage becomes clear. Fight how, when and where he and his deputy Adnani told you in his 2014 recording.
“If you can kill a disbelieving American or European – especially the spiteful and filthy French – or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him.”
And the icing on the cake is, Allah attached a divine pleasure to doing these things for those who are truly his slaves and remember Allah much. What a fine fellow! Really, he shouldn’t have.
Michael Copeland says
The qualifier “in battle” is not in the Arabic original. It is inserted by those Oh-so-helpful “interpreters”. By convention such editorial interpolations are shown in square brackets. Surprise surprise not all editions observe that convention.
The same applies to the editor’s addition of “lightly” in Koran 4:34’s advice to men about women: “and beat them [lightly]”. Some editions do not show that this is an addition. Isn’t that curious?
Michael Copeland says
One of the facilities on the helpful site http://corpus.quran.com is the “word by word”option in the left margin. By clicking on that option you can see what words are in the Arabic original (with their translations).

I”Enemies of Allah” ???
Allah is such a sissy-pants. He is supposed to be all full of rage, but Allah cannot even tie his shoes without low-life Muslims engaged. Allah (Satan) has no power. Allah is a conniving snake. If I ever met Allah , I would sissy-slap his face and mock his disgrace, then show him my crescent moon and put him right back in his rightful place. Go to hell, Allah.
BTW, don’t ask why these cave dwelling closeted Muslim men shave their upper lip, wear eye mascara, and walk about in man-dresses like Muhammad.

And they are surprised if there is so much “Islamophobia,” aversion (if not open hate) against them in the West? They should better look into a mirror to understand why. But, apparently, mirrors are completely unknown in the Mohammedan world: their ugly beards seem to testify to that!
Stan Lee says
The defendant, Kassim, defined his guilt according to French law. France, though seemingly fearful to utilize its own laws, allowed the murderer, Kassim, to escape,accompanied by his wife and child..
This is attributable to French lack of urgency to assure that he was isolated to be brought to justice.
He should have been acknowledged as the “prosecution” in this case though security didn’t hold him.
He has proudly convicted himself that his act was justified, therefore there is no further motive for a French court to prove.
However, his pride of complying with his koran in order to take his place in “paradise” he postponed. He isn’t as much a believer as he thinks he is, nor can he convince anyone that he did not kill to be a cold-blooded murderer.
He then fled France rather than to stand up to the French system of justice to state that his murderous act was warranted by his deep faith in his koran. He is a coward, plain and simple and the French justice system very inadequate.. Violence will catch him up and he will probably be done in by a fellow Muslim terrorist…
A Harris USA says
This is why Islam is a cult!! Murder of anyone by any legit religion is not cheered as part and doctrine. Beheading innocent humans is just a part of their “faith”. If that pope is still siding with the heathen Muslims. OUT WITH HIM!!! He is only condoning the murder of his own people!!!
abad says
France needs to round up every Muslim in the nation and deport them all to their Islamic Paradise of Syria(TM)
Mark A says
But none of this has anything to do with Islam……
ISIS has perverted the peaceful and tolerant teachings of Islam, the religion of peace…….
If only the Crusaders hadn’t invaded the Middle East, Muslims wouldn’t be angry with us….
It’s all the fault of European colonialism…..
And so on, and so on………..
