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

Free Syrian Army jihadis screaming “Allahu akbar” mutilate, desecrate body of Kurdish female fighter

Feb 8, 2018 7:25 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“’The footage,’ explains Kurdish outlet Rudaw, ‘captured on a mobile phone, shows the woman’s body spread out on a concrete floor surrounded by gunmen in military fatigues. Her bloodstained clothes have been partially removed exposing her breasts and genitals, parts of which appear to have been cut off.’ The men can be heard shouting ‘allahu akbar’ and calling her a pig.”

Erdogan has deployed thousands of his troops to decimate the Kurds. These barbarous jihadis were “blessed” by 90,000 mosques praying Quranic conquest prayers to be “ruthless with unbelievers” before being deployed.

It is disconcerting that the Western mainstream media and so-called feminists are minimizing their coverage of such atrocities out of fear of being branded “Islamophobic.”

“Kurds Protest Video of Free Syrian Army Mutilating, Trampling Body of Woman Fighter,” by Francis Martel, Breitbart, February 6, 2018:

Syrian Kurds have demanded the Turkish government be held responsible for a video surfacing showing Turkish-allied Free Syrian Army (FSA) combatants mutilating the body of a female Kurdish anti-jihadist fighter, stepping on her breasts, and taking selfies with her.

The woman has been identified as People’s Protection Units (YPJ) fighter Amina Omar. Omar used the nom de guerre Barin Kobane, after the Kurdish border town made famous after the Islamic State assailed it in 2014.

The NGO Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) obtained the video, allegedly from one of the individuals present at the desecration of her corpse. SOHR reported that Kobane reportedly died fighting in Bulbul, in the northern Afrin region, where the FSA has launched attacks against the YPJ and the Kurdish all-male YPG unit at the urging of the Turkish government.

Turkey considers the YPJ/YPG terrorist organizations despite their outsized role in defeating the Islamic State in Syria, including in its “capital” Raqqa. The YPJ are allied with the United States and have largely avoided fighting with any groups other than Sunni jihadists, including the Syrian national army of dictator Bashar al-Assad.

“The footage,” explains Kurdish outlet Rudaw, “captured on a mobile phone, shows the woman’s body spread out on a concrete floor surrounded by gunmen in military fatigues. Her bloodstained clothes have been partially removed exposing her breasts and genitals, parts of which appear to have been cut off.”

The men can be heard shouting “allahu akbar” and calling her a pig. One man remarks, “She’s beautiful, man.”

Only partial clips of the video remain online.

Kobane’s family and loved ones held a memorial service for the woman, though they could not hold a traditional Kurdish funeral without the body. The Agence-France Presse reports that thousands attended the funeral. YPJ officials said Kobane was among four women killed and “mutilated” in the fighting.

“We hold the Turkish government responsible for this heinous act. We salute the soul of the free resistance (fighter),” the YPJ said in a statement, according to Reuters. Local Kurdish officials said they had evidence to believe Kobane was captured alive “and later paraded in several villages outside Afrin” before fighters mutilated her body. One local government statement blamed “the Turkish fascist government … and its mercenaries” for the crime, Rudaw notes.

AFP cites relatives who identified Kobane as saying she began fighting in 2014 against ISIS and participated in the liberation of her namesake town in 2015.

“They all have their burials, except my daughter Barin,” her mother told AFP. “They tore up her body. She doesn’t get a funeral. Oh, my daughter.”

Free Syrian Army leaders condemned the video, according to the New York Times, stating that they “will not hesitate to hold accountable those who prove to be involved in this incident, if it is verified, in accordance with Shariah law and our principles.” The Times notes that over 10,000 FSA fighters are participating in “Operation Olive Branch,” the Turkish government invasion of northern Syria.

The FSA initially denied participating in the military effort. A spokesman for the group told Breitbart News in mid-January that their fighters, who have primarily targeted Assad’s army, were not part of the fight against the Kurds.

The Turkish government has not commented on the video.

The FSA has long been a controversial group, touted by the Obama administration as “moderate” rebels seeking only the overthrow of Assad. In 2014, the rise of the Islamic State gutted the Free Syrian Army, as several of the coalition factions that formed the group pledged allegiance to “caliph” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and joined the jihad. The Obama-era quest to find “moderate” elements within the FSA and arm them against Assad was largely a failure, as the U.S. and CIA trained and equipped many fighters who ultimately ended up joining jihadist insurgencies. The FSA itself continues to claim to adhere to the sharia today.

While President Barack Obama led the effort to arm the FSA, he received bipartisan support for the effort. Senator John McCain, in particular, supported the group, taking photos with group leaders.

The Trump administration has chosen to distance itself not from the FSA, but the YPJ. The YPJ is one of many militias forming the U.S.-backed Syrian Defense Forces (SDF). Speaking to reporters, Pentagon spokesperson Eric Pahon said Tuesday that support for the SDF does not necessarily mean support for the Syrian Kurds….

      Mutilation of the infidel body – usually dead but often whilst the hapless individual is still alive is typical behaviour for rampaging Muslims.

      That is the reason , in Indian history , that the Hindu women would often hurl themselves off cliffs , into the village wells or even immolate themselves to avoid certain rape then torture and mutilation as the victorious Muslim hordes advanced into India.

      Even now at the India- Pakistan border the Pakistani army would seize the hapless Indian soldier guarding the boundary of the Indian state only to subject him or her to the most chilling / terrifying torture before beheading them, cutting off their noses and ears, breasts ( if women) and penis and testicles ( if men). At times they do this whist the infidel is still alive.

      Aah now , where have I recently read of that modus operandi of the Muslim .
      Why in today,s news about the jihadi “ Beatles”. Although the gory details are shrouded under the generic term “torture”.

    “IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, STUPID!” The normative, vicious JIHAD IDEOLOGY of Islam is not an aberration of Islam, but the REAL DEAL of Islam.

    There is no Islam without sacralized HATRED of the DIRTY KUFAAR, of sacralized HATRED OF WOMEN and MISOGYNY and without SAVAGE, BARBARIC TORTURE.

    Such things are the SACRED EXAMPLE of Mohammed which are ETERNALLY VALID. Islam cannot be reformed so we must beseech Muslims to ABANDON this BRONZE AGE DEATH CULT and HATE CULT.

    There is nothing of value in Islam. Islam contradicts all modern codes of HUMAN RIGHTS.

      “…the U.S. and CIA trained and equipped many fighters who ultimately ended up joining jihadist insurgencies.”

      Sooner or later…in some way or another…all the weapons and training we provide to the Islamic world WILL be turned and used against us.

    Just following orders — Erdogan’s orders. Bright little flunkies of the New Sultanate.

    Despite all the lamenting about “killing his own people” [that’s what you do in a civil war], is Assad really the worst player in Syria?

    • cornelius says

      Amidst the deluge of propaganda over every issue these days, you loo for bell-whether signs that can offer perspective. We’ve got Iran and Russia on the side of Assad. Erdogan and the Saudis on the side of the rebels. But here’s my litmus test: Syria’s Christians are fairly well-treated in Assad’s Syria. Many are in the security services. That speaks volumes

      Sure Assad is a despot, but the question is what kind of despotism we want there….secular or religious. The answer is fairly obvious.

        Good point, and Turkey is less and less to be trusted. They’d rather focus on eliminating the Kurds, consolidating the new Ottoman Empire dictatorship, and jailing and abusing an innocent Pastor as hostage until they get one of their own who sought refuge in the US,. over fighting ISIS. I think the Trump administration again needs to look at whom they are supporting, and let Turkey fight its’ own battles.

    The American Left & the Left, everywhere, have decided that we must live with the Violence of Islam. A Few Casualties in America, Will NOT matter to the Big Scheme of Globalism. But I Will NEVER UNDERSTAND Why Our US Government INVITED ISLAMISTS INTO OUR COUNTRY, TO BRING THE WAR TO OUR VERY DOORS & Force us to SUPPORT EM.

      Berengaria, the YPJ fighting here is ‘the Left’. The Marxist Kurdish militia is the main counter force to the Violence of Islam, at least in Syria.

    Thank you for your excellent and courageous work CD-W. I have opted this article on my Facebook Page along with the following comment.

    I would call these people savages but that wouldn’t tell us much about them. They are defined by what they shout as they engage in barbaric savagery. They are Muslims who can find motivation and justification for their savagery in their “holy book” and the example of their “prophet”. People who want to bring this into Canada are nuts.

    The desecration and mutilation of a female soldier by the cowardly musselman dogs of allah show how low their morality and sense of honor are.
    The abomination of the Islamic conduct during war is once again evident: allah-inspired mysoginistic impotence of its male combatants. mohomet, anyone?

      You are right Graven, the “Free Syrian Army” are indeed barbaric jihadists that are not really that different from ISIS and yet US and Western governments and their MSM call them “moderate rebels”. US and Western governments fund, arm and support them in the hope that they will overthrow Assad and replace him one day.

    My heart goes out especially to this poor girl’s family and survivors. How do you live with this kind of knowledge about your loved one and there’s possible suffering will still alive and desecration after death. So sick!

    I know now that your situation is weak and that you will be defeated. The Believer is most superior in his values and standards, by means of which he measures life, events, things and persons. And when he looks from his height at erring man(people)kind, with compassion and sympathy at its helplessness and error, he finds nothing in his heart except a sense of triumph over error and nonsense. So much for the religion of peace.

    After the Abu Ghraib prison incident, we were lectured endlessly about the Islamic “honor” sensibility, and how these types of abuses were uniquely painful to Muslims. More phoney baloney, obviously.

    Yes, just look at Erdogan’s mug on today’s article about his ‘jihad on Kurds’. A picture is worth a thousand words.
