Is the International Committee of the Red Cross really sure that “there is no ideology or religious law that could justify doing any harm” to the remaining Red Cross workers being held by the jihad terrorists of Boko Haram? What about the religious law that is derived from the book that says these things?
“And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, kill them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is all-forgiving, all-compassionate. Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.” (Qur’an 2:191-193)
“They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore do not take friends from among them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, seize them and kill them wherever you find them; do not take for yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
“This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth to do corruption there: they shall be killed, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall be struck off on opposite sides; or they shall be exiled from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.” (Qur’an 5:33)
“When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers; so strike the necks, and strike every finger of them!” (Qur’an 8:12)
“Fight them, till there is no persecution and religion is all for Allah; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.” (Qur’an 8:39)
“Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatever you spend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged.” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Then, when the sacred months are over, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.” (Qur’an 9:5)
“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)
“Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing.” (Qur’an 9:123)
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray.” (Qur’an 47:4)
How have Muslims throughout history understood these passages? They took them as meaning “My jihad is trying to make ends meet. My jihad is getting a great education,” right? Unfortunately, the historical record is not quite so full of laughter and sunshine. Find out how Muslims throughout history have actually understood the Qur’an’s exhortations to warfare in my new book, The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which you can order here.
“Kidnapped International Red Cross aid worker killed in Nigeria,” by Bukola Adebayo, CNN, September 17, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Lagos, Nigeria (CNN)A female aid worker abducted in Nigeria’s troubled northeast region has been killed, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said Monday.
Saifura Hussaini Ahmed Khorsa, 25, was kidnapped by suspected Boko Haram militants in March this year alongside two other ICRC aid workers during an attack on a military facility.
At least three Nigerian aid workers were killed and three others were injured in the attack.
The ICRC condemned the killing and said it was “devastated” by the news….
The ICRC said it will not comment on the “motives or the details” surrounding the nurse’s death, and called for the immediate release of the two aid workers still held by the group.
“We urge those still holding our colleague Hauwa and Alice: release these women. Like Saifura, they are not part of the fight. They are a midwife and a nurse. They are daughters, a wife, and a mother — women with families that depend on them,” said Fillion.
“Their families and friends miss them dearly and will not give up the hope of seeing them again soon. There is no ideology or religious law that could justify doing any harm to them,” he added….
CogitoErgoSum says
The Red Cross adopts a policy of “silencio” regarding the motives and details of the nurse’s death. This is because, as with Pope Francis, to break the silence would involve in speaking of things involving perversion of sex and religion.

christianblood continues to post this, even though he has been told that this was only true under Obama and is not the case now.
But christianblood is not really here to oppose Jihad, but just to slam the West.

Not much difference between Obama and Trump. They love and support jihadists:

christianblood, you said that the US was not funding anti-terrorism measures in Nigeria–clearly this is not the case.
But yes–just because the white helmets oppose a tyrant does not mean that they themselves are freedom fighters, as all too many sadly believe.

Nigeria: Muslims kill abducted Red Cross worker, Red Cross says “no religious law” justifies harming other hostages
…………………………
This poor person–and I fear for the other two captives.
As for the claim that no religious law justifies harming hostages, this could not be more mistaken. Besides the hideous Qur’anic quotes above, the texts of Islam say that not only can hostages be seized by Muslims, but that they can then be released, ransomed, enslaved, or killed, according to what is most advantageous to the kidnappers.
Wellington says
I have concluded, gravenimage, that Islam is the best criminal organization in history, very effectively hiding behind its religious veil to such an extent that only those who ACTUALLY read the Islamic texts and study Islamic history, all the while retaining a goodly amount of common sense and moral intelligence (this of course would exclude many, many people like May, Pope Francis, Bush, Trudeau, Armstrong and Esposito), will grasp just how iniquitous, albeit effective, this criminal organization/religion truly has been for some 1400 years now.
God, I despise Islam. No one of sense and knowledge, I would contend, can do otherwise. No more excuses.
Tricia Stuercke says
Wellington, I’m with you, every word. I believe I’m at the point of no longer believing in the “peaceful Muslim”… obviously many do live peaceful lives, but I’m convinced now that it’s not because they’re devout yet choose peace…it has to be strictly that they are IGNORANT of what their “faith” commands. It is straight out EVIL. It’s not possible to be educated in its teachings & decide otherwise. It is EVIL INCARNATE.
James Lincoln says
A Muslim’s relationship to Islam at any given point in time and its effect on unbelievers.
Note: The individual Muslim’s category can change over time!
Muslim in name only: Knows little about Islam. Not particularly dangerous.
Muslim light: Starting to learn more about Islam. Not particularly dangerous – at the moment.
Muslim “mainstream”: Has become a “better” Muslim. Attends local mosque, follows the call to prayers, etc. Does not directly participate in jihad violence, however supports jihad violence and sharia law. May participate in “soft” jihad. Dangerous to the unbelievers.
Muslim violent jihadists: ISIS, etc. 100% devoted to Islam. Extremely dangerous to the unbelievers.

Good posts, Wellington, Tricia, and James.
Leon Degney says
I too despise the shitful cult of an ideology that is Islam. You are absolutely correct in that it almost perfectly hides behind a veil of “religion” and fools completely the idiots you mention in your comment. The sooner these people are no longer walking vertically on the topside of the soil the better off the current populations of the affected countries will be, not to mention the up and coming generations who will no doubt bear the brunt of the effects of this vicious regime.
Tricia Stuercke says
GI, I share your fears for those RC workers & your disgust for this continuing cancer of Islam.
gravenimage says
I’m praying for the hostages, Tricia.
DHazard says
Yet another perversion caused by following Islam; no good deed goes unpunished. Boko Haram is about the most extreme of the extremist Muslims. They view anything Western as poisonous, unless it’s stolen. They are so bad that CNN covered the story. But the words “Islam” and “Muslim” do not appear anywhere in the article. The Islamophobia-phobia is rampant at CNN.

@CogitoErgoSum
Not only that but Jews{ of my acquaintance} don’t go around talking about the “Hebrew” Torah or the “Hebrew” Prophets.
It is self-evident that the Torah is in Hebrew!!
inshallah is a MUSLIM prayer:Jews don’t say that!
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, he’s a tricky one ….. but not tricky enough.

Agreed, FYI and CogitoErgoSum.

WHO ARE THESE FOOLS at the Red Cross who make such UNINFORMED STATEMENTS ABOUT ISLAM?
If they would only read the 164 JIHAD VERSES in the Koran, they would change their minds.
