“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4).
Not that this has anything to do with Islam, of course. Everyone knows that.
“Militant Islamists ‘behead more than 50’ in Mozambique,” BBC, November 9, 2020:
More than 50 people have been beheaded in northern Mozambique by militant Islamists, state media report.
The militants turned a football pitch in a village into an “execution ground”, where they decapitated and chopped bodies, other reports said.
Several people were also beheaded in another village, state media reported.
The beheadings are the latest in a series of gruesome attacks that the militants have carried out in gas-rich Cabo Delgado province since 2017.
Up to 2,000 people have been killed and about 430,000 have been left homeless in the conflict in the mainly-Muslim province.
The militants are linked to the Islamic State (IS) group, giving it a foothold in southern Africa.
The group has exploited poverty and unemployment to recruit youth in their fight to establish Islamic rule in the area.
Many locals complain that they have benefited little from the province’s ruby and gas industries.
The BBC’s Jose Tembe reports from the capital, Maputo, that the latest attack was probably the worst carried out by the militants.
Many people are shocked, and they are calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, he adds.
The gunmen chanted “Allahu Akbar” (“God is greatest”, in English), fired shots, and set homes alight when they raided Nanjaba village on Friday night, the state-owned Mozambique News Agency quoted survivors as saying.
Two people were beheaded in the village and several women abducted, the news agency added.
A separate group of militants carried out another brutal attack on Muatide village, where they beheaded more than 50 people, the news agency reported….
Mount Zion says
I didn’t understand if the beheadings took place in christian villages .Eather way it would be unacceptable , I’m just saying that if it was their correligionists they killed , I’d be more keen on overlooking the incident , meaning :”Let them kill each other” . OOOPS did I just say that.
Mauricio says
I understand what you mean, but it’s not probable that muslims kill muslims. Can you imagine if that would be so? Islam would auto-destruct itself.
mortimer says
Reply to MtZion: Christianity is criminalized by a number of Koranic verses. When Muslims have weapons in their hands, and when they want the goods and property of the Christians, they kill the Christians and call this ‘jihad’.
The teaching of AL WALAA WAL BARAA explains the motivation of Muslims to hate Christians and ‘others’.
Christians are the most persecuted faith group on earth.
Nightlover says
I disagree. learn more about the religion than listening what people pick and choose. you have to understand the context of every verse in the Quran. You blame Democrats for quoting Trump out of context but you are ok doing that to other people. you know what that is called.
gravenimage says
Mortimer is one of the most knowledgeable posters here on the texts and tenets of Islam.
Note that Nightlover does not say what the proper context for Muslim hatred and murder of Christians might be. This is common with apologists for Islamic savagery, though.
Note, too, that he says *nothing* condemning these Muslims beheading victims in Mozambique. But then, why would he?
James Lincoln says
Nightlover,
Both mortimer and gravenimage are two of the most knowledgeable people on this website in regards to islam and related topics.
You need to get up to speed:
Read islam 101 on this website and read the Jihad Watch feature articles for the past 12 months – along with the comments.
That would be good for starters…
newsupplements says
If only that could happen.
rooare says
Mauricio, Muslims do kill other Muslims bc they don’t follow the same strand of Islam
gravenimage says
Muslims often kill other Muslims as they do Christians and other Infidels, if they are other-sect or considered “insuficiently Islamic”.
Mount Zion says
Mauricio , muslims do kill muslims if they think that you are the wrong kind of muslim . Sunny against Shiites and I also read an article where one terror group identified a group of muslims as the wrong kind of muslims despite their constant claims not to be Ahmadi or not to belong to another muslim sekt like Alevites , so the terror group butchered them anyways just to make sure , only to find out later that they had not been the wrong kind . Sorry but I don’t have the reference , would have to research it . And then , I am not surprised if Islam is on the way to autodistruct itself . Islam is so incongruent and poisenous and evil with all of it’s beheading and lynching and anger on infidels and honour killings and child marriage and vehicular jihad and blowing themselves up in a crowd of infidels and rape in the name of Allah . Remember young french Mila who allegedly had offended Islam when she was underage ? She was recognized in Malta or Cyprus or some other mediterranean Island by a french muslim who told her that they would rape her in the name of Allah . A religion like that can’t survive in the long term it’s destined to go under because in the end good will always prevail over evil .Islam is pure evil .
Mauricio says
I know muslims can kill other muslims. I just said “it’s not probable”.
Islam’s destruction is not giving a good picture: it’s a religion that increases and has a lot of adherents and it’s fooling everyone… Perhaps you are not considering that God’s kingdom is not of this world.

Fred van de Bunt says
The “insurgency” is busy for 3 years in the North of the country, under the Al-Shabab brand label of the multinational IS-group:
“This armed group is responsible for untold suffering in Cabo…
…arson attacks, killed and beheaded civilians, looted food and property, and forced hundreds of thousands to flee…
We can see people coming from Tanzania trying to establish some kind of radical groups through local mosques in Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Niassa [provinces].”
https://www.voanews.com/extremism-watch/3-years-insurgency-mozambiques-cabo-delgado-remains-vulnerable
In Western Europe the same, I would say. They only call them refugees here instead of insurgents.
Has nothing to do with Islam of course,,,
underbed cat says
AgreeFred van de Bunt. Yes insurgents and terrorists are their special group to bring submission thru fear, so the fibbers in white caps can fib all they want with nice words that are different in the mosques to ‘get ready” with the insurgency.
Like a title of a comedy movie, “The Gods Must be Crazy”.
Goofy says
According to pope Francis the God of Jews and Christians is the same as the god of Muslims Allah. All three religions are monotheistic although the Muslims will swear that they are told that the Christians commit shirk by worshipping the three gods, god the father, god the mother Mary and god the son Issa. They refuse to accept the reality of the triune God.
If the pope can find a Bible in the Vatican and a Koran he might find it interesting to try to reconcile Mark 12:29-31 with the Koran’s chapter 47 verse 4. I would be interested in reading his reflections on this.
tedh754 says
Uh, no. God the father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. Not Mary.
Red Pill says
Allah thinks Mary is part of trinity (accordingly to the Quran)…
Westman says
It must be very difficult to be a proud Muslim in the modern world when so many of the brothers read the Quran and act on its violent instructions, not understanding the reformation brought by the Islamic savior who changed conquest and an “eye for an eye” into, “love all neighbors as yourself”. Oh, uhh, maybe got that mixed up for a moment? Isa did say that, didn’t he? So confusing.
What must it be like, sandwiched in a line of praying males, knowing that your assassin and his beheading sword may be on your right or left if you begin thinking for yourself? When Ibrahim smiles and invites you to prayer you must smile and act your part though you will miss a deadline to complete your work. And those —– Europeans have so much time to get ahead, it’s just not fair now – but in the next life maybe you’ll get to see them in Allah’s Hell and observe their suffering from a sumptuous feast on a couch with the virgins. You hold that thought until the angst passes.
Still, it feels like being shackled to the arm of a grinding mill, going round and round, walking great distances, and going nowhere.
Stanton Lore says
I believe anyone living in the USA who is convicted of terrorism related crimes should be banished to a country that uses beheading as its default execution method. Before leaving then in the selected country, place a tatto on his/her forehead that reads ” The Prophet sucks” or “Long live Israel “
Mount Zion says
👍😂
Matt says
Where is the outrage? Seems these black lives didn’t matter…
James Lincoln says
Matt,
Those lives certainly do not matter to BLM.
They care only about:
1. Blacks shot by white police officers – while the Blacks are resisting arrest and trying to attack the officers.
2. Advancing Marxism / racism / anti-Semitism.
3. Rioting, burning, and looting…
gravenimage says
All too true.
underbed cat says
Black Lives Matter who seeks “revolution in this country” and apparently Lies matter to block the reality of blacks killing blacks, for what reason and when the outraged speak up, they get hurt. Islam has a practice or a code of killing without right, if a muslim finds someone not practicing his law/faith they can kill, it is not resisted or spoken about or it is denied publically. But any non- beleiver has no right, no matter even if self defense. So it is curious when someone tells me his area of black killing blacks is also heavily Islamic that follow sharia law and it seems to fly under radar. So are there muslim gangs….practicing sharia silence code? Or is this gang code.? or is it a combination. The outrage is denied it is obviously a contradiction with parameters.
newsupplements says
And still the governemnt lies, attempts top make laws to protect Muslim so that they do not face counter measures from the community when that community objects to the treatment being metered out to them in the name of what can only be regarded by sane human beings as EVIL! Who’s side is your governemnt on, and who do they act for? For guidance look at the laws they intend for you.

Stikll cannae spoell

What will the government Mozambique do to address the problem of backward barbarian Muslims rampaging their way through the country? Surely not invite more of them in?
gravenimage says
Mozambique: Muslim screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ raid village, set homes on fire, behead 50 people
…………………….
*Horrifying*. And yet, many in the West know nothing about the Jihad in Africa.
Lion heart says
gravenimage: and the world be like “ no those terrorists have nothing whatsoever to do with Islam “ and what amazes me is that after every Islamic terrorist attack , the western leftists and feminists like we have many of them in Canada would become all of a sudden THEOLOGIANS in Islam more than Muslim scholars and they blindly desperately defend Islam 😂😂 “ ignorance is a bliss “ 😅😅
underbed cat says
I agree it is horrifying and the West is just beginning get it, like France, with a difficult situation they opened the door and the good citizens thought they were saving lives, and protested so venhemmently to closing the border that allowed jihad to walk in with regular new clothes with cheers and flowers and now see a situation they really had a different attitude about facts being spoken and skills to invade with a law they follow that assures them they are correct, a history of conquest and horrifying method and doctrine sounding pleasant but omitting much cleverly hidden. They found a weak link or defense in Mozamique.
Lion heart says
Night lover : can you read the interpretation of Muslim scholars not Christian scholars about Quran 9:29 for example ? or you may ask Canadian Christians originally from Iraq on whom that verse ( Quran 9:29 ) was implemented ?? and chapter nine alone especially verse 5 has abrogated all the soft Mecca verses which Muslims especially in the West LOVE to quote for us !!!
Diana says
Sounds exactly like something Muhammad would have done
Giacomo Latta says
The BBC does a total injustice toward muslims by writing such articles. Where are their articles about Buddhist State terrorists, Mennonite State terrorists, Amish State terrorists, Inca State terrorists?
SJ says
Good one! That’s the reason NYTimes stays neutral & doesn’t even deign to report such horrific acts.
SJ says
Mainstream media didn’t report it.
underbed cat says
Are you saying if the villiagers fought back, they are terrorists…..I am curious did they have weapons to defend themselves?
