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

The Islamic Belief that Muslim Lives are Worth More than Infidel Lives

Feb 6, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The UK’s Mailonline reported recently that “a hero police officer suffered multiple skull fractures when an uninsured white van man tried to murder him in a savage machete attack.” After the perpetrator, a Muslim named Muhammad Rodwan, was arrested, Rodwan explained: “My life is worth more than his life.” Meanwhile, in northern Italy, according to the German-language site UnserTirol 24 “The higher regional court confirmed on Tuesday the first-instance verdict against Rabih Badr for the brutal murder of his partner Marianne Obrist (UT24 reported). Badr’s father was also present at the trial. The latter defended his son and accused Obrist of infidelity.” Badr’s father complained: “There was a problem between him and Marianne, namely the problem of infidelity. She was not loyal to him, he dedicated his whole life to her, but Marianne was not worthy of him.”

“My life is worth more than his life.” “Marianne was not worthy of him.” Is this just more Islamic “extremism,” or do Rodwan and Badr have a point?

Unfortunately, they do have a point – an Islamic point.

Reliance of the Traveller, a classic manual of Islamic sacred law, explains matter-of-factly that “the indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth that of a Muslim.” (o4.9)

Sultanhussein Tabandeh, author of A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, agrees, stating: “Thus if [a] Muslim commits adultery his punishment is 100 lashes, the shaving of his head, and one year of banishment. But if the man is not a Muslim and commits adultery with a Muslim woman his penalty is execution. … Similarly if a Muslim deliberately murders another Muslim he falls under the law of retaliation and must by law be put to death by the next of kin. But if a non-Muslim who dies at the hand of a Muslim has by lifelong habit been a non-Muslim, the penalty of death is not valid. Instead the Muslim murderer must pay a fine and be punished with the lash. … Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain…Again, the penalties of a non-Muslim guilty of fornication with a Muslim woman are augmented because, in addition to the crime against morality, social duty and religion, he has committed sacrilege, in that he has disgraced a Muslim and thereby cast scorn upon the Muslims in general, and so must be executed. … Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them.”

These ideas have lethal consequences. In Badr’s case, “according to judge Peter Michaeler,” Badr “‘beat her like a stray dog’ first with a stick, then with a baseball bat. Badr is said to have stabbed the 39-year-old with a knife….As was evident from Judge Michaeler’s reasoning at the time, the act was culturally motivated. Badr, who comes from Morocco, killed Obrist ‘without mercy’ and ‘bestially’ and exemplifies radical attitudes that are incompatible with the way of life of a Western woman….In Badr’s mind, the woman is subordinate to the man, the judge continued. As a result, Badr unjustly accused his partner of infidelity, and restricted and suppressed her. According to Michaeler, the motive was not jealousy, but the complete control Badr wanted to exercise over Obrist.”

As far as Badr was concerned, Obrist should have been under his total control, for she was not only a woman, but an infidel. She had no rights he was bound to respect. But of course, saying such things in the West today brings one charges of “Islamophobia.” Meanwhile, more women like Marianne Obrist will continue to be victimized and brutalized.

    Where oh where is the reciprocity?

    • mortimer says

      Feb 6, 2020 at 5:45 pm

      ‘Reciprocity’ as a benign principle is NOT in the Koran. The Golden Rule is not found in the Koran or other Islamic primary texts. There is, however, the principle of MALIGNANT reciprocity in Islam, namely, REVENGE and RETRIBUTION … Retribution is ‘decreed’ by Allah. Islamic ethics are opportunistic and the choice depends on what most benefits Islam. Islam is not truly ‘moral’.

        Feb 7, 2020 at 2:15 am

        That idea of ‘Retribution’ being ‘decreed by Allah’, along with a lot of other dubious things that ‘Allah’ appears to sanction, rather reinforces the suspicion that ‘Allah’ is no more than a projection of the collective muslim ego and a conveniently fabricated ‘divine’ entity to justify whatever self-serving indulgence muslims wish to enjoy. An evil, malicious concoction indeed.

      That cowardly murderer,had he lived in the time of his “prophet” muhammed would most certainly have been put in chains.

      muhammed was the ARAB version of a white supremacist.

      idiotically,he is of course named after the man who was the owner,buyer and seller of black African slaves{two sold for the price of one:Sahih muslim 3901}:the ‘prophet’ muhammed.

      And islamic apologists will tell you how muhammed was all in to “diversity” and “incusiveness”{unless you were Jewish,Christian or a Black African}

      islam has an Apartheid system and a Doctrine of Hate{al walaa wal baraa}to justify it plus allah completely MISSED the Golden Rule and the 2nd Chief Commandment lev19;18 of the Actual God didn’t he?

      {allah the greatest of all deceivers k3:54}

      The ‘holy’ koran classifies humanity into TWO,the superior muslims and the inferior non-muslims.

      muslims{“ye are the BEST community that hath been raised up for mankind”}koran 3:110
      VERSUS
      Non-muslims[“they are the WORST of created beings” koran 98:6}
      (that is the Jews and Christians..of course that includes Abraham,Moses ,Elijah,Jesus Christ etc:but muslims don’t ever get Irony.Or Logic)

        Feb 7, 2020 at 10:49 am

        Some islamic apologists even claim this..

        “Prophet Muhammed’s vision for the ummah is rooted in racial equality and religious pluralism”
        dr craig considine tweet feb 12020
        {capital P,capital M:looks like a convert}

        1]racial equality?

        Sahih muslim 3901:muhammed the Black African slave seller

        muhammed the antisemite cursed the Jews {sahih muslim 1082}
        and the Jews are called “apes to be despised and hated” koran 2:65

        2]religious pluralism?

        muhammed the mass-murderer of Jews {Abu Dawud 4390}
        koran 9;30 allah CURSES Jews and Christians

        Does it look like muhammed the African slave owner was all into ‘racial equality’,muhammed the mass-murderer was into ‘religious pluralism’?

        Where is the mysterious “racial equality” and “religious pluralism” in muhammed’s life and in islam today?

        Perhaps the dr missed the violently antisemitic bits of the ‘holy’ koran
        or is being paid to promote this false image of muhammed because islamic sources confirm muhammed was not a believer either in racial equality or religious pluralism.

        What next from these paid islamic trolls?

    Yep, and that’s where their delusions of grandeur arise, five times a day. So when we conclude that the jihadis are insane and therefore not prosecutable, it’s really quite near the truth. However, obviously they all belong in high-security mental institutions, like any other dangerous deranged lunatic. ***WAKE UP, WORLD***

  5. mortimer says

    In the April 9, 2002 issue, The Wall Street Journal published the concept of blood money in Saudi Arabia. If a person has been killed or caused to die by another, the latter has to pay blood money or compensation, as follows.

    100,000 riyals if the victim is a Muslim man
    50,000 riyals if a Muslim woman
    50,000 riyals if a Christian man
    25,000 riyals if a Christian woman
    6,666 riyals if a Hindu man
    3,333 riyals if a Hindu woman

    According to the above hierarchy, a Muslim man’s life is worth 33 times that of a Hindu woman. This hierarchy is based on the Islamic definition of human rights and is rooted in the Quran and Sharia (Islamic law).

    How can we talk of deals or trust with Muslims when the concept of equal human value is nonexistent in Islam?

    It is not considered immoral for a Muslim to break a contract with a kafir if Islamic supremacism is benefitted thereby.

      Feb 7, 2020 at 11:26 am

      And of course you cannot “love your neighbor” in islam which is a second CHIEF law of God{lev19:18} because in islam..

      1]your neighbor is an infidel and is NOT equal to a muslim

      An infidel:a Jew,Christian,Buddhist,Hindu,Sikh,Jain,Atheist,an ex-muslim ,pagan and get this:any muslim who befriends a Jew or muslim is an infidel

      “Oh ye who believe!Take not the Jews and Christians for friends,they are friends to one another.He among you who takes them for friends is ONE OF THEM{i.e an infidel}”
      koran 5:51

      2]allah missed the 2nd{and 1st}chief commandment.

      Since the koran permits violations of the Actual God’s official commandments in Exodus 20{gives permission to violate them:read the koran} and since the koran teaches pretty much the OPPOSITE to “love thy neighbor”,note that it means that the koran and islam do not conform to the Two Chief Commandments of God[#1Deuteronomy 6:4-9,#2 Leviticus 19:18}defined by Jesus Christ as “The Whole Law of Moses and the prophets depend on these two chief commandments”

      I invite any muslim scholar to explain how the koran does not conform to these laws of God as revealed in the Bible{which allah says is true k3;3} and WHY is the Golden Rule and the concept of the Holy Spirit of God’s wisdom MISSING in islam?

      How did allah{the greatest of deceivers k3:54} completely MISS “the Whole law of moses and the prophets” which are defined via the 2 CHIEF commandments of God?

      islam/the koran does not preach obedience to God’s Commandments or Love of Nrighbor:Explain that…

    It would be better to stop mass Muslim migration into the civilized world, but that does not seem likely to happen. Perhaps it will be necessary to fight harder to block the Islamization of the civilized world. The normal countries have to stand up for their values.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Feb 6, 2020 at 9:29 pm

      The only real, long-term solution is to expel Muslims from the civilized world. If that does not happen, eventually the West will be lost to the Demographic Jihad. Once fast-breeding Muslims become the majority, there will be absolutely no way to prevent the adoption of Sharia. 1400 years of Muslim history bears this out.

    The west must acknowledge Dhimmi laws as incompatible with Human rights. They are no different than apartheid ( call it Islamic apartheid)They must be forfeited,
    That measure alone may solve all the wars in the Middle East.

    Sura 3:110 versus Sura 98:6. In microcosm, THE PROBLEM.

    Islam—master faith. Nazism—master race.

    By now, one who sapiently and knowledgeably embraces liberty has made this “connection.” Those who embrace liberty and who haven’t are, big time and quite foolishly, part of THE PROBLEM too.

    Free people making excuses for an ideology which is an enemy of liberty are no friend of liberty—for whatever indefensible reason.

    Islam is simply not compatible with a civilized society. The Framers of the Constitution were disabused of their extreme ignorance about Islam in the late 18th century. They delusionally thought there was something universal about their value system ordained by a common Creator. They didn’t realize that the Allah of Muhammad has the value system of a racist desert bandit.

    “The framers of the Constitution were disabused of their extreme ignorance about Islam in the late 18th century.” I do not think so the original framers did not put anything in the Constitution about America having an official religion ,or that religious laws would overrule the laws of the land. Moslems were raiding American ships off North Africa and ransoming our sailors in the late 18th century in the name of Islam and Sharia law. Many of todays America elected officials senators ,congressmen , mayors ,governors ,ect seem very ignorant about Islam and Sharia law .The present crop of American leaders with a few exceptions seem more then willing to turn a blind eye towards jihad to not displease Moslems also to not “upset PC feeling of liberals “..

    Every time a muslim makes a coment about a Kaffir I always consult the Koran(www.alislam-koran). The first mention of Allah’s displeasure of and regarding Kaffirs as Sub-Human must be in Koran 2;8.

    This particular man should be told that a donkeys life is more important than him. Atleast the donkey will keep his mouth shut, not think & do his work obediently. Islam & muslims in general have contributed almost nothing towards scientific & human development. They still want to live in the dark ages along with their prophet. They can atleast do a favor to humanity by gathering themselves in one continent & let the rest of the world live in peace. However they want to use every gadget & scientific invention and contribute nothing. And they will have a mullah ready with a fatwa for anyone with an idea for development saying it’s against islam. Strange times.

    But only Sunni Muslims. Shia Muslims are lower than homosexual ex-Sufi Muslims. And dark skinned Muslims are so low that they formed the slave trade with the West.

    Oh, and you also get more points if you are an Arab Muslim. Allah’s Arabs (AA) have a 12 step program for conquering the World that does NOT include those dirty Shia Muslims. Step One, move to Europe and go on benefits. Step Two, go to any Sunni mosque to scope out the real haters from the fake ones. Step Three, sell drugs and pimp out Western girls to raise money for Jihad. Step Four, make up a hate list of locals you don’t like then find some way they are “offending” you to pre-justify their future murder. Step Five, find a good imam to read the Quran for you. “Good” is measured by the number of kafirs killed by the imam’s students. Step Six, do a practice rape on a developmentally disabled Catholic girl with big boobs who you used to play with when you were a toddler. Step Seven, get back together with those “brothers” you found at the Mosque, the ones who knew the most about hating people. Form a “cell” with and give it a cool name. Step Eight, buckle down and do some real research on how to make bombs and fake suicide vests. On YouTube. Step Nine, pick a date and target to kill the people who offended Allah (and you). Step Ten, write your suicide video testimonial. Step Eleven, record the video and upload it. Step Twelve, chicken out on the stabbing and decide to run over people until stopped by police. Step Thirteen, give up on trying to find someone who will give your battery a charge and go home to watch porno.
