“Conversely, we [Arabs] have a trait that distinguishes us from all the other peoples of the world, which is a love of death. We dream of it, regard it as a source of inspiration and think about it every day. We love death and love the dead. Instead of hoping for longevity, for [a life of] giving and loving, we say, with defeatism… ‘God, [help me] go to battle and reach my grave. This is in addition to the grand slogans we [like to chant], such as: ‘death to America,’ ‘better death than humiliation’ and ‘seek death and you shall be given life [in the next world].'”
Khatib Badla is right. Islamic jihadis idolize murder and love death, as they frequently affirm. Boston jihad killer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wrote: “you are fighting men who look into the barrel of your gun and see heaven.” Muslim teenage girls from Austria who traveled to Syria for jihad announced: “Death is our goal.” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said: “I’m even longing for death, you vagabond.” A Muslim child preacher taunted those he has been taught to hate most: “Oh Zionists, we love death for the sake of Allah, just as much as you love life for the sake of Satan.” Jihad mass murderer Mohamed Merah said that he “loved death more than they loved life.”
Ayman al-Zawahiri’s wife advised Muslim women: “I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a love for religion and death.” And as one jihadist put it, “We love death. You love your life!” And another: “The Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death.” That was from Afghan jihadist Maulana Inyadullah.
This idea comes from the Qur’an: Say, “O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allah, excluding the people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful.” (62:6)
But loving death is not natural. Loving life is.
“Syrian Author: While The Rest Of The World Sanctifies Life, We Arabs Sanctify Death,” MEMRI, April 28, 2020:
In an article in the weekly Enab Baladi, identified with the Syrian opposition, author and journalist Khatib Badla harshly condemned the sanctification of death in Arab society. The Arab leaders, he said, have long been cultivating the ancient Islamic concept of shahada (martyrdom) and encouraging their people to die for the regime, while other governments in the world have sanctifed life and promoted the security and wellbeing of their citizens. He added that the Arab culture of death leads only to ruin and destruction, and wondered if a day will ever come when the Arabs finally embrace the culture of life.
The following are translated excerpts from his article: [1]
“Our [source of] hope is death. The life-loving nations deserve our appreciation and affection. The governments and national institutions in their countries work night and day to provide them with security, dignity and wellbeing, so they can get the most out of life, and if a citizen is close to death, [the authorities] will mobilize and do everything they can to prolong his life, if only for a couple more hours…
“Conversely, we [Arabs] have a trait that distinguishes us from all the other peoples of the world, which is a love of death. We dream of it, regard it as a source of inspiration and think about it every day. We love death and love the dead. Instead of hoping for longevity, for [a life of] giving and loving, we say, with defeatism… ‘God, [help me] go to battle and reach my grave. This is in addition to the grand slogans we [like to chant], such as: ‘death to America,’ ‘better death than humiliation’ and ‘seek death and you shall be given life [in the next world]’…
“For generations, the Arab leaders have encouraged their people to die, their hidden slogan being ‘die for me.’ To that end, they appropriated the concept of martyrdom from the scriptures, and started to rebuild it, emulate it and beautify it, so as to adapt it to their place and time. For example, Hafez Al-Assad, one [of the greatest] criminals in history, whose religion consisted of [sanctifying] the intelligence [apparatuses], torture, murder, destruction and usurpation, hid behind Islam and appropriated the Islamic concept of martyrdom in order to place it on the top of his regime’s agenda…
“He immediately became the chief patron of martyrdom and martyrs, and [even] opened schools for the children of martyrs that gladden the soul and warm the heart. These schools were located in fancy buildings and had the best teachers and supervisors, while ordinary schools drowned in filth, overcrowding and boredom and were poorly heated. [Assad] thus said to his soldiers: Embark on jihad and seek martyrdom, my dears. I will send you to Lebanon, to attack the national forces [there] and turn it into an annex of my own state [Syria]; and to Iraq, to fight under the American flag [a reference to Syria’s participation in the U.S.-led coalition that fought Saddam Hussein in the 1991 Gulf War], and to Hama, to kill anyone who does not obey me [a reference Hafez Al-Assad’s bloody suppression of the Muslim Brotherhood uprising in Hama in 1982]. Don’t be concerned for your children. Everything is assured them, even a father, for I am the father and commander [of all Syrians].
“The love of death has brought the people of this region much death and destruction over the years… Will there come a day when we embrace the culture of life? Perhaps there will.”

More exaggerated BS. If arabs love death so much, they have a funny way of showing it as no arab country has ever fielded an army that has won, occupied, or engaged in any external war.
They don’t spend $750B in armaments every year, nor shoot drones to murder innocent civilians,
nor occupy other countries, nor prop up evil regimes (20 years in the case of Afghanistan). This zionist/white nationalist drivel about arabs and africans being so violent is getting old, and fools no one anymore. Look at the actions of the US and Israel, and tell me who the violent players are in the world with regard to wars and occupations. I’ll wait….crickets.

Response to Sabri: the Islamic method of battle is the ‘raid’, rather than the set-piece battle. They enter by stealth and surprise, take a price from the enemy and retreat before the enemy organizes to fight back. They can only use this method. It is the Sunna of Mohammed.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, this is hardly a method that causes those who live in a country bordering lands controlled by Muslims to have trust in being safe from attack at any time by Muslims – whether those Muslims are Arabs or not. Muslim reliance on stealth and surprise is also a reason many non-Muslim peoples distrust Muslims living in their midst – again whether Arab or not.

Wellington says
Sabri S.: You confuse capability with design. Just because Arab militaries (who use, though badly, instruments of war that the West, not the Islamic world, created) have demonstrated extraordinary incompetence does not equate to the exculpation of said military forces per your weakthink. Quite the opposite in fact—though you won’t get this. Well, there’s ton of stuff you don’t “get.”
You are such a rube. You fault free societies like America and Israel, calling them out as the bad guys, and yet these “bad guys” allow almost an infinitely larger amount of latitude to Muslims to practice and preach their faith than ANY of the over 50 Muslim-majority nations do.
What a hypocrite and parasite you are; what a hypocrite and parasite Islam itself is. You and Mo’s creed can fool only fools (whether fellow Mohammedans or silly dhimmis) and no others.
Get lost. And know quite well that the more a sensible and informed person learns about Islam, the more that person will realize that it is the sorriest-ass excuse for a major religion of all time. Put another way, there is no Allah, the Koran is putrid (and stupid), and Mohammed’s character demonstrates, in spades, a clever but brutal, narcissistic psychopath.
So, go peddle your fallacious and deceitful nonsense to others. You will make no headway here at JW, an Internet site that knows the “full value” of Islam.
And again is demonstrated, this time complement of your idiotic post, that EVERY defense of Islam only adds all the more to the fully deserved contempt of Islam by those who can reason accurately and efficaciously.
commonsense says
Sabri must have been in a coma while the years-long Iran-Iraq war was being waged. Perhaps, as cited in another comment in this thread, he remains unaware of the Houthis and Saudis presently killing each other in Yemen. And does he not know that Israel was attacked by the joint armies of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria three times – in 1948, 1967, and 1973, plus Egypt in 1956? And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. What a lying, idiotic bastard.

……………………
What *absolute crap*. The idea that Islam spread around the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey peacefully is utterly false.
Muslims generally don’t field successful armies today because they have been completely outclassed long ago by the hated Infidels. Being killed without taking a lot of Infidels with them seldom gets Muslims “Shaheed” status.
More:
They don’t spend $750B in armaments every year, nor shoot drones to murder innocent civilians,
……………………
Actually, no one spends that much. But this is no doubt a ham-fisted reference to the United States (all military spending last year was $639 billion). Sabri S. doesn’t believe that we target innocent civilians–he is just enraged that the use of drones means fewer dead Americans.
And note that Sabri S. doesn’t factor in *per capita* military spending, which changes the equation completely. This puts Saudi Arabia on top as the biggest spender. In fact, Saudi Arabia spends three times what the US does per capita. Kuwait is also in the top five.
More:

This is grimly hilarious. The reason the Afghan regime is so sad is because it is Islamic–but it is still better than the Taliban, which will come roaring back the moment we leave. Will Sabri S. complain about *their* being an evil regime? Of course not–what is better than murdering Infidels and stoning women to death?
And of course he doesn’t want us to talk about how violent Muslims are–at least, not if we are doing so in critical terms.
He is enraged that the Jews in Israel have not allowed Muslims to commit genocide against them. Bad dhimmis!

Aussie Infidel says
Mural, I also fear for many Humanists, not because of their lack of religious beliefs, but their green-left political views – and as we know the Left is in bed with Islam..
Many Humanists and Atheists (myself included) have suffered persecution in the past from religious zealots. And now many of them have simply ignored the threat we face from the much more aggressive and pernicious creed of Islam. Most Humanists haven’t even read the Quran, but support Islam largely out of ignorance. With their dislike of Christianity, some of them even regard Islam as being an ally; but as more enlightened folk know, nothing could be further from the truth.
I have been involved with Humanist and Atheist societies for over 60 years, and I’ve never met one member yet who ‘loves death more than life’. That is simply one of the tenets of a very sick theocratic cult, which has no place in a civilized society.

The RELIGION OF DEATH … SLOGAN : “WE LOVE DEATH!”
-K.62.6. “O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then LONG FOR DEATH if ye are truthful.”
– “Submit to Islam and be safe. Or agree to the payment of the Jizzya (tax), and you and your people will be under our protection, else you will have only yourself to blame for the consequences, for I bring the men who DESIRE DEATH as ardently as you desire life.” – message from Caliph Abu Bakr was delivered by Khalid ibn Walid to the Persian monarch Emperor Yazdegerd III before the Battle of Qadesiyya in 636AD, before invading Persia. (an explicit declaration of war)
-“According to Hassan al-Banna (founder of Muslim Brotherhood), the Koran enjoins believers to LOVE DEATH more than life. Unfortunately, he argues, Muslims are in thrall to a “love of life.”
-“The illusion which had humiliated us is no more than the love of worldly life and the HATRED OF DEATH.” – Hassan al-Banna, founder of Muslim Brotherhood
-“As long as the Muslims do not replace their love of life with the LOVE OF DEATH as REQUIRED BY THE KORAN, their future is hopeless. Only those who become proficient in the ‘ART OF DEATH’ can prevail. So prepare yourself to do a great deed. Be keen on dying and life will be granted to you, so work towards a noble death and you will complete happiness.” (from ‘The Art of Death’, 1946, Hassan al-Banna, founder of Muslim Brotherhood)
-“Whenever (the Muslim Brothers) marched in close formation through the streets of Cairo, their voices rang out with this song: “We are afraid not of death, but we desire it … HOW WONDERFUL DEATH IS … Let us die in redemption for Muslims”, followed by the chorus, “Jihad is our course of action… and DEATH IN THE CAUSE OF ALLAH is our most PRECIOUS WISH.” – (quoted in Matthias Küntzel, Jihad and Jew-hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11)
– Osama bin Laden wrote: “We are the Nation of Martyrdom; the Nation that DESIRES DEATH more than you desire life”.
-‘I say to you William (Defence Secretary) that: These youths LOVE DEATH as you love life.’ – Bin Laden
-“We LOVE DEATH more then [sic] you love life!” – last words in PowerPointPresentation by Maj Dr Nidal Hasan to fellow military doctors.
-Maulana Inyadullah, who began fighting the Soviet invasion in 1982 at the age of 16, declared that his fellow Afghans relish the prospect of an American attack.
“War is our best hobby. The sound of guns firing is like music for us. We cannot live without war. We have no other way except jihad,” he said.
– Mr Inyadullah, 35, said: “The Americans would be easier to defeat than the Russians. The Americans lead lavish lives and they are afraid of death. We are not afraid of death. The Americans love Pepsi Cola, we LOVE DEATH.”
The above quotes validate the claim that Islam is a DEATH CULT.

Walter Sieruk says
Yes ,Islam is a death cult. As the in Quran instructs in 9:111 “The believers, fight for Allah’s Cause ,they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed…” Thus the jihad-minded Muslim chant “They love life,we love death.”
Meaning “They ,the Westerners ,love life, we ,the jihadists, love death.” So to reiterate , Islam is death cult.
In great contrast ,with Christianity ,which is centered on Jesus ,Who gives life and not death.ht

Annika Petzall says
It is very familiar with what we know looking in to our history. One issue confuses me. It is of course a good thing, that there is a will and wish for the opposite way for arabs how to view life and go against maryrdom. But he is still a muslim. Is he then willing to interpret the Quaran? Is he ready to put all the verses that encourage death and murder, in a kontext that has played out its role? That is a more important question than it might seam to be for us, who think that a God that commands murder for salvation, is both horrifying and a joke.
I am aware that there are forces who are ready and want to do what “we” have done for hunderdes of years. That is our way that scholors workes with exegetics, hermeneutic, interpretation with all that means. It is an imoprtant question since the Quaran teaches martyrdom and it goes so far about that teaching that it is the only way to be promised paradise (exept for the sick once etc). I mean, there are so many verses in the Quran that teach this, then, when you disagree with that, is that muslim really a true muslin in the eyes of God?
Is it possible to be a real muslim not doing all that the Prophet commands? Be cause the truth is, that that is what is commanded. This is confusing to me. I was listening to David Wood and (sorry don´t remember his name) on you tube with the headline is somthing like ….16 000 000 000 (?) muslims are actually hypocritical muslims who would not be aprooved by their Prophet. They just don´t know that they are. since they 1. Don´t know their Quaran 2. Are not as humans capable to do all those horrible actions.
I am aware I go a bit out of subjuect, but the question is in my point of view, very crucial.
So to do a kind of summation, is the majority of schoolar muslims in this case arabs, ready to interpret the Quaran on all accounts that damand martyrdom?

Wellington says
I have long argued that the Arabs are the single most dysfunctional major people on the planet. And it’s not just due to Islam, though this is a major part of it. It is also due to warped ideas respecting what constitutes honor as well as a kind of tribalism that lingers to this day. Could have something to do with the language too since language influences culture as much as the other way around. The extraordinary flexibility of the English language (e.g., English can use any word as an adjective) and the extreme precision of ancient Greek are factors in why native English speakers became what they did and why the ancient Greeks invented philosophy and so much else.
Multiculturalism (N.B., only the West is multicultural and only over the past half century or so—one of many new idiocies unique to the West) would have you believe that all cultures are equal. No, they are not. No culture on the island of New Guinea has ever equaled the cultures of ancient Greece and China. And some cultures just pretty much suck. Arab culture comes to mind here.
Dude says
Certainly, if your scriptures tell you that the only way for a sinner to go to Paradise or for the devoted to go to Paradise immediately without waiting for the earth to be freed of infidels is to DIE while trying to kill the infidels.
So death is the prize, the ultimate goal. DUH
Booty was all that mattered, so conning the rubes was necessary to maximize the grab. And they bought it. DUH
Jim Austin says
Moslems love of death translated into love of killing.
Moslem jihadists go on killing sprees. They kill enthusiastically. There’s no limit as to whom or how many they kill. They kill on the slightest provocation. They kill with no provocation. They kill their own.
They’re happiest killing Jews, but they kill Christians, Druze, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, believers of other religions, believers in no religion. They kill Moslems of a different sect.
They kill liberals, lefties, commies, pinkos, pacifists with the same zeal as they kill actual opponents of terrorism.
The only real cure is to give death cult members that which they truly desire.
CogitoErgoSum says
As I understand verse 4:29 of the Koran, Muslims are forbidden to kill one another. Some of the English translations also include the killing of oneself while others do not. See the link below:
http://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=4&verse=29
At any rate, the verse definitely says one Muslim is not to kill another Muslim and, if a suicide bomber is a Muslim, by killing himself the suicide bomber would be killing a Muslim. So I don’t understand how some Muslims can view a suicide bomber as being a martyr. By killing himself he is actually committing a sin – one of the major sins. Anyone who helps a suicide bomber in any way to accomplish his mission would also be disobeying the Koran and committing a major sin.
Suicide bombers are destined to spend eternity in Hell – and this would include those Muslims who killed themselves by crashing jet planes into buildings on Sept. 11, 2001. At least, that’s the way I read the Koran but maybe I am overlooking a later verse that abrogates verse 4:29. That could be because the book is such a jumbled mess, difficult to understand and not something that came from God – but rather something that came from someone pretending to be God (and not doing a good job of it at all).
eduardo odraude says
Qur’an 9:111: Pickthall: Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.
Surah 9 is generally considered the very last, or second to last, Qur’an chapter “revealed” by Muhammad. So it abrogates many earlier verses.
But abrogation to resolve contradictions is sometimes questioned. Why? Well, for one thing, Allah is not required to be logical in human terms. If there are contradictions in the Qur’an, it arguably still a Muslim’s duty to submit to those contradictions and accept that both sides of Qur’anic contradictions are true, however absurd that may seem. This is part of how physicist Bill Warner describes the Islamic mindset.
In any case, of 4:29, I think “do not kill yourselves” — probably more often translated as “do not kill one another” — does not refer to suicide but to internecine conflict and also does not mean that a Muslim must never kill another Muslim. Nor does it mean that collateral damage to Muslims in the course of jihad was not acceptable to Muhammad. His system is totalitarian but at the same time flexible and pragmatic.
Also, a Muslim often justifies killing another Muslim by claiming the victim was in one way or another not a true Muslim but an apostate. Thus Sunnis kill Shias and Shias kill Sunnis. ISIS jihadis kill Muslims who are not Islamic enough to be “real” Muslims. And so on.
CogitoErgoSum says
I was able to find some hadiths in which Muhammad speaks against suicide. Here’s a link showing that:
https://hadithoftheday.com/suicide/
However, those hadiths concern instances where no Infidel lives were also taken as part of the suicide. It just shows how ambiguous Islam can be. I can’t believe God would be so sloppy about providing an answer to such an important question – and the question seems simple enough. Is it wrong for a person to kill himself? The answer should be an unequivocal YES but Islam does not provide a clear answer. It’s just more proof to me that neither the Koran nor Islam comes from God and, thus, Muhammad was not God’s messenger.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Eduardo, “If there are contradictions in the Qur’an, it arguably still a Muslim’s duty to submit to those contradictions and accept that both sides of Qur’anic contradictions are true, however absurd that may seem.”
—
There is also the notion that to expect Allah to speak without contradictions is to constrain Allah, and none can presume to constrain the Almighty. The Almighty can do whatever he likes, and we must obey. The same thinking lies behind the response to the Christian objection that a god must be fair. To demand that Allah be fair is to constrain Allah, who brooks no constraints from those he has created and can uncreate at any moment if he so chooses. So even if Allah has promised you Paradise for killing yourself in the act of killing others, and then sends you to Hell, so be it. Allah will not be constrained by any bargain he might’ve struck with his own creations. He is Almighty and free of all constraints.
I can still do to you whatever I want, even if you do everything exactly as I say. It is a thoroughly totalitarian notion: you are 100% subject to my arbitrary whim, nothing more, nothing less. This underlies the clergy and the “scholars'” constant emphasis on du’a, supplication, and pleading for mercy.
The corresponding mindset is very striking when teaching in Muslim countries. Students do not trust that simply studying their work will bring them good grades. It is more effective to plead your case with the teacher, even if you’ve done no work at all. It’s all down to the teacher’s whim in the end, and as I’ve experienced, it mostly actually is. Since any outcome is as likely as any other, the general calculus is that even time expended on elaborate cheating is more effective than actual studying.

CogitoErgoSum, It is fine if a Muslim kills other pious Muslims so long at they were not his target. It is fine to target “heretics”, “apostates”, and the “insufficiently Islamic”–as well as out and out Infidels, of course.
So if a Jihadist does kill a Muslim in Jihad, there are two possibilities–one, he was a good Muslim, and so goes straight to paradise having died in the course of Jihad, in which case the Jihadist has done him a favor; or else he was a bad Muslim, and deserved to die anyway.

A love of death wont give you the best economy. It won’t give you the most just, transparent government either, you will probably end up with A police state, since most muslims probably dont share your love of death, and will want to protect themselves from you. In times when bravery decides whose military will win wars, A love of death might be powerful enough to conquer all others, but we are hardly in such A time, and even in the past islam was not able to conquer the world, because A love of knowledge, strategy, nation, race, freedom, representation were able to easily dominate muslim armies in the past.
It is only A matter of time before freedom loving people get sick of your perpetual attacks, and oppose you openly, like they did in the past, before they forgot about you because you were so weak that you could only be a victim.
You are permitted into the west in order to teach the west that we are not all equal, that it is not possible to reason with all people, and it is not possible to live with all people, nor is it fair to have to pay for you.

The love of death is yet another indication of the fundamentally insane nature of Islam.

Yes, Muslims love death and hate life. The love evil and hate good. Most fools would not brag about this nihilism.

If there’s such a thing as bright side to this, it’s something that we can exploit. As George Smith Patton ever so pithily expressed it “No one ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his”. Let’s help them do exactly that.

I don’t believe what this man is saying. As I observe the Muslims that I see around me, I think most of them seem to want to go on living their lives. They are enemies of many aspects of our far better western way of life. I think they are enemies of our way of living and I think they live a pretty shitty life (especially the women who are no doubt oppressed and are pretty much breeding machines, part of the Muslim plan to breed their way to dominance) but I think this guy is exaggerating when he says that most Muslims, or Arabs, spend their time dreaming of death. I have no problem if it were only suicide they were contemplating. Go and kill yourselves then if you want to die. Good riddance. I can’t see how it is a loss to the world. It is the fact that they always want to take out other people, to murder other people, that matters. Anyway, even though I don’t believe the bullshit this guy is saying (it’s sort of bragging in a sick way), Islam certainly does produce a lot of very twisted minds. It is such a sick ideology in so many ways.
Kepha says
Speaking now as a lover of life:
Higgledy-piggledy, Archangel Gabriel, speaking of Satan’s rebellion ‘gainst God, “Chap was decidedly tergiversational; given to boasting and rodomontade.” Methinks the same could be said of lots of Jihadi boasting about their love of death.
It’s like the video Osama Bin Slaughtered released after 9/11, in which he tells another Muslim how only Muslims could be so brave as to take down the Twin Towers and Pentagon. But as soon as the daisy cutters started falling on his hideout, he whines that “the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ done it!!!!” , and skeddaddles off to haven in Pakistan. They also broke and ran before Israel several times; and then turn aound and blame it on the Christian Arabs in their ranks.
But I confess that there is a part of me that thinks that maybe Islam’s young men killing themselves in senseless Jihad attacks could also be Satan falling for God’s whiles, the old Serpent cheerfully reaping in reprobates and dupes to clear the way for the Gospel of Christ to advance.

Well, how refreshing to hear, Balda, an Arab speak out about what Muslims believe and desire. I use to think how awful a place like Hell is and in some ignorant way hoped all “mankind” could be reconciled to our God of Abraham. However; time has taught me why Hell exist and so appropriately so for those who “love to kill and love death”.
As an infidel, I will defend, with deadly force, my right to be free but still pray some will see the Truth and not suffer the “second death”.
Pray for peace but be prepared for war!
Kepha says
Hear, hear. I went through a period of doubt due to an unwillingness to face the reality of Hell . But then I got hired by the State Department, and as I was entering, my dear father started having delusional episodes as he was exiting this world, in which it came out how deeply haunted he was by the Shoah (he was of Middle European Jewish origins). Foggy Bottom then proceeded to put me to work interviewing Cambodian DP’s for humanitarian parole into the USA and abstracting the reporting out of Rwanda, among other things. It led me to see the century in which I was born in a whole new and horrifying light.
But while I believe firmly that Hell is there, and divine reprobation real, I never forget that the God who predestines all and is our final judge also became one of us, suffered, and conquered death that we might be saved.

““Conversely, we [Arabs] have a trait that distinguishes us from all the other peoples of the world, which is a love of death.”
Be careful what you wish for… we men of the West can be generous.
Ren says
If muslims love death, why don’t they all commit suicide?
gravenimage says
It only “works” if they murder Infidels as well.
Kepha says
Glad to see that Badla is angry with the phenomenon too common in his culture. May he come to the Christ who once walked the lands near his own.
Savvy Kafir says
These people cannot be allowed to remain in the West. Islam is a death cult that destroys everything decent and good. No matter what the cost, it MUST be rooted out of the civilized world, by any means necessary. No other conflict in history was more important than this one we are now living through. Future generations will hold us accountable.
OLD GUY says
The islamic/muslim love of death is a good reason to stay the hell away from them. No other group/religion is as criminal oriented as the islamic ideology. Violence is at the center of islam as it is in most cults and dictatorships, that’s how the leaders keep control.
Veiled Heat (@VeiledHeat) says
They only love death because they think they are going on to a mysoginistic hedonistic paradise. Boy are they in for a shock !!!
Anjuli Pandavar says
The real silver lining here is that there was a time when Muslims and their apologists would have proudly and vociferously owned and reiterated the notion of loving death more than loving life. They don’t do that anymore. Arch-apologist and clown extraordinaire Sabri S even rejects it as “More exaggerated BS.” This has been the pattern for a while now. Sheikh Yasir Qadhi *begs* Muslims not to be ashamed of Islam, not to be embarrassed at its profound ignorance, not to be disturbed by their Holy Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him lusting after a six-year-old girl and raping her at nine, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. Muhammed Tawhidi, the self-styled “Imam of Peace” denies that Ayisha was nine when Muhammad had sex with her, claiming instead that she was eighteen.
Muslims, even their apologists, are on the run *from Islam*, increasing numbers reaching escape velocity every day. Sabri S right here is an excellent example of Muslims disowning Islam bit-by-bit. The more we expose the sordid, the grotesque, the absurd and the ridiculous of “the perfect religion” and “the best of peoples,” and subject them to critique and ridicule, the more difficult it becomes to remain a hardcore defender of this catastrophic creed.
Thanks for the update, Sabri S. It’s nice to be able to check our progress from time to time.
