It wasn’t just that he paid a bribe. It was also that many, many people sympathize with what he did, and — secretly, perhaps — consider Abu Omer a hero.
“Isis executioner who threw gay men off buildings bribed his way out of prison in ‘minutes,'” by Josh Robbins, International Business Times, January 9, 2018:
A notorious Isis henchman accused of beheading gay men and throwing them off rooftops has escaped from police custody just minutes after being arrested in Iraq.
Abu Omer – known as “White Beard” thanks to his impressive facial hair – was arrested in Mosul at the beginning of the year. Local and international media reported his detention but now it seems that the sadistic jihadi was back on the road in no time at all.
Human rights watch group the Clarion Project described the escape as a “remarkable failure of the Iraqi justice system – [an] Isis religious leader was arrested and released just minutes later after paying a $7,500 [£5,500] bribe.”
The grisly executioner has been connected to dozens of killings inside the so-called Caliphate. Most shockingly, he appears to feature in an infamous video from 2015 that shows three men accused of homosexuality being publicly beheaded.
Describing the security debacle, local official Zuheir Hazzen el-Jaburi told Ayn Al Iraq: “I was in Mosul when a force from police intelligence arrested a man. After questioning they were told he was the mufti for the right bank of the [river in the] city – an Isis member.
“We asked people who he was, and they proved he really was an Isis mufti. After he was arrested, he left a motorbike behind. An hour later we saw the motorbike was no longer there.
“We inquired about it. They said he was released 10 minutes earlier after he paid 75 notes [$7,500].”
The official’s report was confirmed online by UN ambassador and Yazidi genocide survivor Nadia Murad. She wrote on Twitter: “We heard from media that this Isis terrorist detainee who used to slaughter people in Mosul is now set free by some corrupt officials….

Probably the most frustrating aspect of living/working overseas — 15 years in Former Soviet Union, ME and Asia — was that in so many cases, regardless of the law, it was the most powerful — the richest and the most brutal — who, in all disputes — and there were many — were able to prevail.
Simply: that is the way life works in such SH**HOLES.
Yes, we in the West, are FAR from being perfect; however, we do have — because, in general, we the people require that we maintain some rule of law — some measure of a semblance of order and respect for each other’s inalienable rights.
The above is an example of why, IMO, until there is a RADICAL transformation WITHIN the mohammedan death cult — which promotes such behavior; that is, which promotes the notion of the success and favor of the “strong horse”, regardless of the impact on society — the West and the East will be INCOMPATIBLE!
Two cultures — with conflicting values, 180-degrees out of phase with each other — can NOT coexist. Such is the classic “house divided” scenario; by which, ultimately one will prevail … which means, for all practical purposes, the other will wither and die.
Ray Jarman says
This is an excellent response to the article as it was informative rather than the ranting that too often appears at this site.

Ray, opposing Jihad is *not* ranting.
PRCS says
Hoping that ” the other will wither and die.”
Much like the Democratic party’s goal here in California.

Yes, I cant believe what they have done to our beloved state. I would never hate anyone without reason but with them there is a reason.

Protecting their own……Hard to trust them,given their beliefs and actions… I would hope the U.S. authorities would track this murderer down try him by a military tribunal and smartly execute him…after some waterboarding maybe…Naw, never happen..He will end up in some European country, protected.
Carol says
Johnny…Yes, if “might is right”, “honour is right”, “strong horse is right”, “loudest mouth is right” and you happen to be “superior” at being brutal and stupidly unconscionable then how excellent it would be to make a ‘religion’ out of it and to thus also feel good and worthy all the way to the handmaidens in jannah!!
Carol says
I left something very important out – only WINNING proves you are right. Failure is a disgrace and NEVER TO BE ACCEPTED. Therefore the fight must go on and on and on until HONOUR (however destructive and spurious in the view of the rest of the world) is restored. I think this is how we begin to more accurately understand the interminable attacks upon Israel.

Here again is a reminder of the semi-joke about the different kinds of negative kind of behavior of a Fundamentalist Baptist Christian male and the kind of behavior of a Fundamentalist Salafist Muslim male when they encounter, at different times, a homosexual man. For when a Fundamentalist Baptist Christian man meets a “gay” man, that type of Christian will say many very ignorant things to him and as a result of those ignorant things said that “gay” man will end up with a headache. In contrast, when a Fundamentalist Salafist Muslim man encounters a homosexual man, that type of Muslim will cut that “gay” man’s head off.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Will he only say ignorant things?

I wonder if Abu Omer (the disgustingly ugly creature with the white beard) is secretly gay himself? What woman would want to even look at him??

I don’t think many guys would be attracted to him, either…
This is why Muslims “need” to have forced marriages–ideally with vulnerable children–and access to sex slaves…

Case in point Ray

‘…and access to sex slaves…’
And goats.

Where is the mainstream media when you need them?
Oh, I forgot they are only interested in FAKE NEWS!!

Now that is grimly funny.
Phil Copson says
“…. beheading gay men and throwing them off rooftops ….”
At least you can’t fault his work-ethic – just the beheading usually does the trick……
( Probably many of these men are no more “gay” than the women who are stoned to death are “adultresses” – it’s just an excuse to settle scores with rivals, take over the wives/businesses/property etc of the victims, and impose a reign of terror. I similarly doubt that the thousands of “drug-dealers” that the Chinese government got rid of in mass public-executions, were all criminals either. If they were successful dug-dealers they could have bought-off the officials – more likely that many were political rivals and pro-democracy activists.)
gravenimage says
Also true, Phil. Men have been murdered for ‘being gay’ for wearing Western clothing like jeans, for wearing less than full beards like goatees, and for being interested in poetry or “Emo” music.
Buraq says
Deadly simple! Gay Arab men should hunt this clown down and kill him, then leave a message pinned to his body to give the reason for his execution.
gravenimage says
Grimly, if this happened, there would probably be a huge, bloody pogrom against anyone who seemed even remotely gay. Gay people are under so much threat in places like Iraq that they try to keep a very low profile hoping they might survive.

Playing “God” – or at least playing “mini-Mo” – is their favourite sport. Nature seems to have it’s own ideas however (but they have little respect for anything not graven into their wee book):

My cousin’s kid is now a Major in the 82nd Airborne and has done many tours of duty in Iraq and Aghanistan. He stated that Middle East countries are not civilized. The Muslims think they are civilized because of their religion; but they really are not.
gravenimage says
True.
LeftisruiningCanada says
The people themselves can be kind and very civilized, but the whole is not equal to or greater than it’s parts, because of islam.

Good statement.

Hideously true. Authorities in Iraq have themselves murdered people–just kids, in this case!–whom they suspected of being Homosexual:

R Russell says
No mercy in Islam. Thankfully YHWH is rich in mercy
Eur says
Now that the Salafis have no longer subjected much of the Iraqi people to the so-called moderate Islam (which they say is compatible with civilized societies) it should appear … it turns out that now religious leaders have the power to pass laws. One of the first is to allow marriage with little girls … nine years old girls! Islam is a garbage that creates shitty societies.
Carol says
Maybe the imams feel bad now and they need things to cuddle and toy with.
Rev Donald Spitz says
Homosexuality should be criminalized. Homosexuals commit crimes against nature, against the Holy Bible and against God.
Buraq says
@ Rev Donald Spitz
You’re welcome to your erroneous opinion! However, murdering gays because you claim God / Allah would be pleased by your criminal action is a whole different ball game – if you’ll pardon the expression! Also, you’re a bit presumptuous by your use of the word ‘crime’. Being heterosexual isn’t being law abiding, it’s just they way most people are – including myself. So, the reverse can’t be called a crime unless you believe that we consent to being heterosexual, just like we consent to waiting in our car at a red light until it changes to green.
Eur says
Your opinion is horrifying. The homosexuals do not commit any crime, they only love each other. That religion considers homosexuality a sin does not mean that it should be a crime …. that would be theocracy and turn our civilization into an infected well like the Islamic countries. For my part, I welcome homosexuals to freely live their sexual condition, to live like others … and I would like our countries to consider homosexuality as a cause to welcome people from the Islamic world … and reject those who think that homosexuality should be a crime.
Ray Jarman says
Jay Boo, you really don’t believe that this clown is a reverend. I am a member of a denomination that believes that homosexual conduct is wrong but we or any other denomination of which I am aware preaches anything but tolerance. We would never tell a person to leave our chapel for such actions but we would try to dissuade the person from such actions. I cannot imagine any Christian or Jewish leader preaching anything other than love and forgiveness even to our enemies.
mortimer says
Abu Omer should be arrested and tried for crimes against humanity. His trial should be lengthy and detailed so that the world can understand the nature of jihad-warfare against the kafirs and understand that it is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
The picture of Abu Omer should be posted around the world and on the internet. Interpol should spare no expense to find and arrest this wicked criminal.
WPM says
Abu Omer most likely has forge papers already and is on his way in with the refugee crowd shaved beard and a new set of clothes. He has money and support from many of his perverted goat molesters and child rapist of the faith of Mohammed .He will go to Germany or some other European country soon to be a sh*thole because if Islam country invasion. Demanding his free rent, medical health services ,food , and other goodies for his 4 wives and any poor girls of the right hand he can ensnare .
philip says
please look up daily mail online under the heading ISIS. There is an article that denies he had bribed his way out of custody.
obviously I don’t know which is correct, just a heads up.

underbed cat says
Why could the Isis executioner walk? Because I beleive underObama a shairia based constitution was written in Iraq, so he actually did not break islamic law. Disgusting way beyond belief. (Also Afghanistan)
I guess Obama likes diversity, but he shouldn’t visit it.
