Oops: Syrian Jihadists Behead The Wrong Man, Then Apologize

Qur’an Sura 8:12b, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”

And even if they do believe in the Qur’an, apparently. No word on whether or not he was beheaded “kindly” …

Mohammed Fares, left, was mistakenly decapitated

By Elad Benari, INN – “Jihadist rebels in Syria had to ask for ‘understanding and forgiveness’ after they beheaded the wrong man, the British Telegraph reports.

In a public appearance filmed and posted online, members of the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), one brandishing a knife, held up a bearded head before a crowd in Aleppo.

The jihadists triumphantly described the execution of what they said was a member of an Iraqi Shiite militia fighting for President Bashar Al-Assad.

As it turned out, reported the Telegraph, the head belonged to a member of Ahrar al-Sham, which is a Sunni jihadist rebel group that often fights alongside ISIS, though it does not share its Al-Qaeda ideology.

After inquiries, an ISIS spokesman admitted the beheaded man was Mohammed Fares, an Ahrar commander reported missing some days ago.

The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, an organization which monitors deaths in the Syrian conflict, said that ISIS rebels misunderstood comments Fares had made, resulting in his beheading.

Other reports indicate that in the fog of battle, Fares – who was wounded in fighting around Aleppo – thought he had been captured by a Shiite militia, and offered up Shiite prayers in an attempt to hide his Sunni identity. Sunni Islamist fighters overheard his prayers, assumed he was a Shiite, and beheaded him.” Read more.

Oops: Christian Accused Of Blasphemy In India And Subsequently Mutilated By Muslims Is Acquitted

Naturally, whether this man did anything wrong or not is irrelevant. In the eyes of Islam, the fact that he refuses to become a Muslim and remains a Christian in and of itself effectively accuses “Allah” and his “prophet” of being a liar. And that, of course, is just plain “blasphemous” …

Qur’an Sura 6:93, “Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah?”

By Nirmala Carvalho, AsiaNews – “TJ Joseph , a Christian teacher accused of blasphemy in 2010, following which a group of strangers cut off his right hand and part of the arm, has finally been acquitted. The court of Thodupuzha in Kerala today heard the appeal filed by the teacher and acquitted him of all charges. A ruling, Sajan George , president of the Global Council of Indian Christians ( GCIC ) told AsiaNews, ‘for which we must thank the Indian judicial system . The case of Professor Joseph was one of the darkest pages in Kerala’s recent history .’

It is March 2010, the teacher, a professor at Newman College, was accused of blasphemy by the Islamic fundamentalist group Popular Front of India ( PFI ) . According to the extremists, he added offensive questions about Muhammad to an exam questionnaire. Under constant threats, the man apologized publicly for his ‘unintentional error ‘ .

A few months later, however , a group of strangers attacked him in Muvattupuzha ( Ernakulam district ) , cutting off the hand and part of his right arm . TJ Joseph survived the attack, but in September the same year the school authorities fired him, without any possibility of a pension.

According to Sajan George , the most serious aspects of this episode ‘was the attitude of the police, who registered the complaint against him and also arrested him, and of the institution , which has suspended him from duty . Fortunately, the Mahatma Gandhi University, to which Newman College is affiliated, revoked the decision of the school authorities and have offered him his job back.'” Source – AsiaNews.

Islam Is A Belief Of Blood And ‘No Accommodation Or Kindness Seems To Stem The Tide Of Islamic Violence’

Hadith, Bukhari 2977, “I have been made victorious with terror” – The “Prophet” Of Islam, Mohammed

Hadith, Sahih Muslim 1:33a, “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish [Islamic] prayer …” (The Shahada)

Qur’an Sura 33:21, “Indeed in Allah’s Messenger (Mohammad) you have an excellent example to follow for him who hopes in (meeting with) Allah and the Last Day …”

By Amil Imani, Islam Watch – “From Peshawar Pakistan to Nairobi Kenya, from Damascus Syria to Benghazi Libya, Muslims are on a killing rampage. The civilized world is shocked and distressed. Some mutation seems to take place in the humanness of the person the minute he announces his subservience to Islam by reciting the Shahada: ‘I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.’ The individual becomes intolerant, violent and the shedding of blood becomes central to his life.

The Greek had their gods, so did the idolater Arabs before Muhammad appeared on the scene. Muhammad chose a minor idol as god and the only god and elected the name of Allah for him. According to Muhammad, Allah is not only the god; he is the all-everything god, embodying all imaginable attributes that were previously monopolies of different gods of the polytheists.

What in fact stands out as Allah’s dominating attribute, is his intolerant and violent nature. He is nothing like the all-merciful the Quran claims. But he certainly is the most wrathful. Since commissioning Muhammad as his emissary and giving him the manual of mayhem called the Quran, the world has never seen a day of peace. Apparently that’s just the way Allah likes it.

‘The religion of peace,’ is in fact the religion of blood.

Distressed by the Muslims’ trouble-making and killing sprees, civilized nations are bending over backward in the hope of placating them and helping them join the family of humanity by admitting hordes of immigrants and affording them all manner of hospitality and assistance. All seems to no avail. Many of the new arrivals, deeply infected by the Islamic ethos, find it impossible to assimilate in the host countries. Instead, they strive to impose their defunct order that is the cause of their backwardness and inhumanity on the host people.

The non-Muslim world is at the end of its wits. No accommodation or kindness seems to stem the tide of Islamic violence. Countless numbers of proposals have been advanced in dealing with Islamic mayhem. Some feel that, in general, Muslims are law-abiding citizens of their adopted countries and it is a minority that is responsible for acts of atrocities. Thinking along these lines has prompted people to say that the solution to Islamic violence rests with Islamic leaders. That is, Islamic leaders should speak up and condemn jihad and jihadists.

To begin with, renouncing jihad violates the repeated commands of the Quran and the Hadith. No Islamic leader would dare to attempt that abrogation.” Read more.

Somalia: Christian Assassinated In Mogadishu For Spreading The ‘Wrong Religion’

Many people who defend Islam as a “Religion of Peace” often quote a portion of Sura 5:32, claiming that “whoever kills a soul … it is as if he had slain mankind entirely.” In and of itself, the quoted portion appears to be saying that it is wrong to ever kill someone. But when the verse is read in full it makes two vital exceptions: Unless someone is killed for revenge, or unless they are killed for spreading “corruption” in the land. Since the teachings and beliefs of Jews, Christians and all non-Muslims in general are considered “corrupt” in Islam, the fact of the matter is that even the most “peaceful” verse in the Qur’an is itself yet another verse among many that devout Muslims use to justify the slaughter of non-Muslims …

Qur’an Sura 5:32, “Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors”.

Morning Star News – “Gunmen who said they intended to kill a Christian in Mogadishu, Somalia for spreading his faith shot him to death last month, the victim’s neighbor said.

Two men armed with pistols shot Abdikhani Hassan seven times as he approached his home after closing his pharmacy in Kharkinley District on Oct. 20, his Muslim neighbor told a Morning Star News source. Hassan is survived by his wife, who is pregnant, and five children ranging in age from 3 to 12.

Before killing Hassan, one of the assailants told the neighbor, ‘We have information that Hassan is spreading wrong religion to our people, and we are looking for him,’ the neighbor said.

‘I got so frightened as the two young men left,’ said the neighbor, whose identity is withheld for security reasons.

The unidentified attackers did not rob Hassan of anything.

Islamic extremists from the Al Shabaab rebel group have killed several Christians in the past few years, and although the group no longer controls Mogadishu, a few rebels hiding their militant identity remain in the  capital, a source said.

‘The men who murdered Abdikhani are suspected to be Al Shabaab militia, and the government is carrying out an investigation looking for the two killers,’ he said.

Al Shabaab, the Somali cell of Al Qaeda, has vowed to rid Somalia of its Christians, who meet secretly in the country where apostasy, or leaving Islam, is punishable by death.” Read more.

Egypt: Muslim Gangs Terrorize Christians In Minya Village, ‘We’ve Come For The Coptic Dogs’

Qur’an Sura 9:29, “[Mohammed said] Fight those who believe not in Allah … (even if they are) of the People of the Book [Christians], until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

By Nader Shukry, Watani International – “The Copts in the Minya village of Manshat al-Mughlaqa in Mallawi, some 250km south of Cairo, are living in terror at the hands of a local criminal who goes by the name Saddam Hussein.

Hussein is the brother of another notorious villain whose ruthless ferocity earned him the dreaded name of Holako, and who was killed a year ago in a shooting when he attempted to kidnap a Coptic woman from her home.

Saddam, who in the lifetime of his brother acted as his right hand, continues along the same path, terrorising the Copts in the villages of the district. Together with his criminal gang, they descend on the villages and target the Copts, many of whom are the wealthier members of the community. They force them to pay tribute money at the peril of their lives and the lives of their children. In case the Copts are landowners, their fields and cattle are promptly set on fire if they refuse to pay up.

Eyewitnesses complained to Watani that they feel unprotected; the police, they said, know about Saddam’s gang but do nothing.

When the Muslim villagers attempted to face the gang they were told to stand by; ‘We didn’t come for you,’ one of the gangsters said, ‘We’ve come for the Coptic dogs.'” Read more.

One inhabitant of the village confirmed that Muslim Brotherhood members are behind Saddam, specifically informing him how much money each household can be squeezed of, so that most households are paying anywhere from 20,000-100,000 Egyptian pounds (from 3-15 thousand U.S. dollars).” Read more.

‘Global Crisis’: Christians In Islamic Nations Face Extinction, ‘Mass Exodus On A Biblical Scale’ Taking Place

Revelation 6:8, “And I looked, and behold a [chlōros – green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts [thērion – savage, brutal, bestial men] of the earth…”

By Matthew Holehouse, The Telegraph – “Christianity is in danger of becoming extinct in its ancient homelands because of a rising tide of sectarian attacks, a senior minister will warn on Friday.

Violence against Christian worshippers and other religious minorities by fanatics has become a ‘global crisis’ and is the gravest challenge facing the world this century, Baroness Warsi will say.

‘A mass exodus is taking place, on a Biblical scale. In some places, there is a real danger that Christianity will become extinct,’ she will say at a speech at Georgetown University in Washington.

In the new year, Lady Warsi, the Minister for Faith who sits in the Cabinet, will host an international summit to draw up a plan to end the violence against Christians – particularly in the countries where the faith was born.

Writing for Telegraph.co.uk, Lady Warsi highlights the bombing of All Saints Church in Pakistan, killing 85 congregants, in September and the gun attack on a Coptic wedding party in Egypt as the latest outrages by militants who have turned ‘religion upon religion, sect upon sect’.

‘There are parts of the world today where to be a Christian is to put your life in danger,’ she writes. ‘From continent to continent, Christians are facing discrimination, ostracism, torture, even murder, simply for the faith they follow.

‘Christian populations are plummeting and the religion is being driven out of some of its historic heartlands. In Iraq, the Christian community has fallen from 1.2m in 1990 to 200,000 today. In Syria, the horrific bloodshed has masked the haemorrhaging of its Christian population,’ she says.

Terrorists are subjecting Christians in the Middle East to ‘collective punishment’ for American foreign policy. Worshippers are now regarded as newcomers and agents of the West, despite having lived there for centuries.

The attacks come against a diverse background of political upheaval, local turf wars and social unrest – but they share the common trait of Christians becoming a ‘scapegoat’ for extremists who are insecure in their own religious identity, she will say.

It is the same mindset that motivated the Nazis to persecute the Jews and the Communists to suppress the Russian church, she says.

Lady Warsi is the first senior British politician to draw attention to the plight of Christians in the Arab world, and will call on other Muslims to defend Christians, citing the example of Christians who defended praying Muslims in Tahrir Square during the Egyptian uprising.

‘A bomb going off in a Pakistani church shouldn’t just reverberate through Christian communities; it should stir the world,’ she says.” Read more.

Unsealed: A Closer Look At Revelation 6 And ‘The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse’ – “In an April, 2012 op-ed for Arutz Sheva, Italian journalist Giulio Meotti surmised that ‘the drive for Islamic purity is going to banish all traces of pre-Islamic pasts. When the Islamists will have prevailed, the Middle East will be completely green, the colour of Islam’ [5]. In Revelation 6:8, John describes the ‘fourth horseman’ as being ‘chlōros‘, which translates literally as ‘green’… Green is the official color of Islam, and this green ‘fourth horseman’ is described as having power over the fourth part of the earth. It is no coincidence that today Islam now has dominion over a fourth part of the earth. The ‘fourth horseman’ has the power to ‘kill with sword.’ Islam is spread through Jihad, the ‘Sword of Islam.’ The ‘fourth horseman’ also kills with hunger/famine. Where Islam rises, deprivation and Sharia lawlessness quickly follows, so much so that they would even prefer to see children starve to death than to see them receive life-saving aid from the ‘Christian West.’ The ‘fourth horseman’ kills with ‘death’, and the love of death and martyrdom for the cause of ‘Allah’ permeates Islamic culture to the point where Islamists will even openly declare that they ‘love death more than you love life.’ Lastly, the ‘fourth horseman’ is described as killing with ‘the beasts of the earth.’ The Greek word for beasts is ‘thērion‘ and is very likely being used metaphorically to refer to ‘savage’, ‘brutal’ and ‘bestial’ men — a perfect description of what we are witnessing today in the radical world of Islam’s death seekers.” Read more.
