Dhimmi, dhimmi, dhimmi!!

The Rt Rev Stephen Venner called for a more sympathetic approach to the Islamic fundamentalists that recognises their humanity.

The Church of England’s Bishop to the Forces warned that it will be harder to reach a peaceful solution to the war if the Afghan insurgents are portrayed too negatively.

I guess throwing acid in young girls faces doesn't matter to the Bishop, we just have to be nicer....aaaarrrggghhhh. Jawa has a archive full of Taliban shit. Or the beheading archives, plenty there from the sick bastages.

Bumped because: a) it's original reporting; b) collectively we posted a lot yesterday, so you might have missed it; c) I think far too many people have forgotten the kind of animals we're still fighting; d) because of a -
c you might want to send the link to any one who still doesn't get the war on radical Islamism (political Islam).

The return of beheading chic to Iraq? I certainly hope not. Al Qaeda's al Fajr media center posted a video yesterday from "The Arrows of Righteousness Brigades" showing the group murdering a man.

The man was accused of reporting the location of IEDs to the Iraqi authorities somewhere near Mosul, one of the last remaining hotbeds of Salaafi jihad activity.

For this, they murdered him.

Don't fool yourselves into thinking that beheading someone is a humane way to kill them. It isn't. The murderers use a knife to do the evil deed. Death does not come immediately, it takes time. There is pain.

Even more important is the fact that this video was released by al Qaeda's official media arm yesterday. This is not a "gotcha" video showing alleged abuses.

This is al Qaeda bragging that it murders -- in the most gruesome fashion -- any who oppose them or their proxies.

And the reaction on the Islamist forums? Disgust? Condemnation?

No, shouts of Allahu akbar! (God is great!)

Below are graphic images from the barbarians celebrating this. Consider yourselves warned.

Here is a graphic video purportedly showing members of the Chechen branch of al Qaeda (The Islamic Emirate of the Caucuses) beheading another Chechen loyal to the murtadeen (apostate) rulers of the Russian province. The video was posted at the official website of the Islamic Emirate of the Cuacuses but is hosted at Blip.TV, where jihadis regularly post videos they know would be taken down from YouTube.

The most troubling aspect of the video may not be the very real and graphic images in the video of a beheaded Russian soldier. No, the most troubling aspect may be the warning of the graphic nature of the video accompanying posts at various online jihad forums. No, the warning isn't over graphic violence or outrage over the murder of a prisoner of war.

The warning the eHadis post is that Muslims might be offended since there is instrumental music in the video.

Warning: This video contains music.

Also, images of a Russian soldier who has been beheaded (allahu akhbar!)

They claim the Russian soldier is named Ahdan and that the incident took place in 2008. Ahdan allegedly kidnapped some people and the "mujahideen" attacked him when the ransom was supposed to take place. There's no way to know if any of this is true and I strongly suspect that none of it is -- save, perhaps for the name of the dead soldier. In fact, the text accompanying the video has some freaky deaky story that the "mujahideen" were poisoned by some orange juice and presumed dead until they miraculously woke up two days later. Right.

As always, let me explain why I show these images and post these videos. I wish to show those we fight as they see themselves. Remember, the jihadis who posted this online are proud that they beheaded this man. There is no sense of remorse or embarrassment for this obvious violation of the Geneva Conventions. They are animals.

A video which claims to show Taliban troops in Pakistan's Swat valley murdering men accused of being "spies" for the government and the U.S. has emerged. It's really horrible and the only people who should watch it are Taliban sympathizers.

You'd think I'd be immune to the effects of these kind of snuff videos by now, but I'm not. The horror of Islamists beheading their victims in accordance with Islamic law for alleged "crimes" never really goes away.

So, if you think the Taliban are just a bunch of freedom fighters, watch this video.

If you think Islamic law is some kind of noble endeavor, watch this video.

Or, if you just need to be reminded of how brutal our enemies are, watch this video.

The truth is that bad things happen in war. Even our own troops sometimes make tragic mistakes and on rare occasions the occasional bad apple does something horrible.

But for Taliban apologists let me remind you of two key differences.

First, we do not produce these kinds of videos as badges of honor. You do. We are embarrassed and horrified when we learn that any of our soldiers ever operate outside the rules of war. Remember Abu Ghraib? As a nation, we were ashamed.

Second, we prosecute soldiers who murder prisoners while you celebrate them.

Like the Nazis and Communists before you, you are a bunch of barbarians. The sooner you are all dead, the sooner the world can rest.

Now, let me say something about the video. The video is new to me (I think). It shows a gang slowly sawing off the heads of several bound victims on a road. The second half is old footage of a young boy murdering a man as his Taliban mentors egg him on.

What is odd about the video is that during the opening credits the symbol of the al-Shabaab terrorist organization is shown. The al-Shabaab are in Somalia, not Pakistan or Afghanistan, and those doing the murdering in the video are clearly not from Africa. So, why the al-Shabaab symbol? It makes zero sense to me.

UPDATE: Here's a vidcap of the al-Shabaab logo in the video. The "total Video Converter" watermark is in the original video.

Also, does any one recognize the second logo?

UPDATE: Here's the second logo that appears

Here's the video.

WARNING: This video contains actual footage of our enemies murdering their victims by beheading them with knives. Contrary to what their apologists say beheading is not a quick way to die.

Proceed at your own risk.

(Upper Arco, Philippines) At least 40 Muslim Abu Sayyaf terrorists kidnapped two Christian men, Cosme Aballes and Ernan Chavez, last week from a village in Basilan Province.

Cosme Aballes' body was recovered Sunday by pursuing members of the Philippine Marines. Aballes' head and body had been separated.

Presumably, Ernan Chavez is still being held captive.

We've been following the story of Beverly Giesbrecht (aka, Khadija Abdul Qahar) fairly closely for years now. As the owner and operator of the "Jihad Unspun" website, she wrote countless stories about how US and Canadian troops were the "real terrorists" and how the Taliban were simply anti-imperialist freedom fighters -- the "resistance" as she liked to call them.

I actually knew Beverly was on her way to Pakistan as she and I crossed paths at some Islamist forums. She was at the forums looking for video and trying to hook up with "resistance fighters" who could help her and Phil Rees -- who she claimed to be working with --- on their "documentary" about "Islamic resistance". A "documentary" she claimed would show the "resistance" point of view.

So, if Beverly really was kidnapped by the Taliban and if she is about to be beheaded, how come nothing happened to Phil Rees? Presumably the Taliban would be more interested in killing an infidel who is sympathetic to their cause before they would want to kill a sister who is sympathetic to their cause?

Let me say publicly what every one I know is saying privately: are you really being held hostage Beverly or is this some elaborate scam to raise money for the Taliban (or for yourself and your failing website)?

Yes, I am skeptical. What would the Taliban have to gain from beheading a woman who is on the record as a supporter? Jihad Unspun used to deliver Taliban press releases unedited.

The whole thing seems rather fishy.

Of course, there remains the possibility that this is exactly what this seems. That the Taliban really are holding Beverly hostage and that they really are going to behead her if a ransom isn't paid. If that is the case, then I really do feel sorry for "Khadija". Even fools deserve our pity sometimes.

Yes Beverly, the Taliban really were the bad guys all along. A hard lesson learned, and possibly too late on your part.

Below is a news report featuring a segment of the Beverly Giesbrecht hostage video.

Globe and Mail:

A Canadian held hostage after she travelled to the lawless tribal belt of northern Pakistan says the Taliban will behead her by the end of the month if a ransom isn't paid...

“I have been advised and asked to make this video. We have very short time now and I am going to be killed, as you can see,” she says, gesturing at the dagger on the wall behind her, pointed at her head.

“I am going to be beheaded just like the Polish engineer, probably by the end of the month. The deadline is by the end of March, and that's basically, I don't know, 18 days or 16 days,” she says, closing her eyes.

“I'm not quite sure how long that is but the time is very short and my life is going to end,” she adds in a choked voice.

In the short video, Ms. Giesbrecht, 52, wearing a head scarf and sitting on a wooden chair, says that she is being held by the Taliban “near the Afghan border, either Pakistan or Afghanistan.”

Isn't Taliban and militant kind of redundant?

Taliban militants shot dead then cut the heads off three tribesmen in a restive Pakistan tribal area bordering war-torn
Afghanistan, an official and witnesses said on Friday. ....

"Abdul Ghafoor was kidnapped three days ago. He appeared to be have been shot dead with a Kalashnikov and he was also beheaded," Khan said.

Residents said Taliban militants kidnapped Ghafoor and the other two tribesmen because they were considered supporters of the Pakistani government who joined a tribal force to fight the Islamist hardliners.

The Taliban send President Obama a message of hope and change:

TALIBAN militants beheaded an Afghan in Pakistan's lawless tribal region after accusing him of spying for the United States, local police said today. The 35-year-old man was kidnapped one week ago and his body found today in Razmak some 65km south of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, an official said...

"Whoever spies for the US will face the same fate. This is a gift to (US President Barack) Obama," the note said.

When we replaced those images with softcore porn, the forum users were horrified.

By "peaceful," I mean beheading of course.

Orchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband -- an influential member of the local Muslim community -- reported her death to police Thursday.

Police identified the victim as Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37. Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder.

It's only a particularly gruesome killing if you're ignorant of Islam and Shariah law. Those of us who are really in the know consider it par for the course.

Don't know why he turned himself in when he could have fled the country and lived as a hero in a Muslim country, but maybe he just likes the thought of getting pounded in the ass every day by his cellmate.

Only Allah knows, and he isn't telling.

An image posted at Islamist forums of Polish hostage Piotr Stanczak [alt, Peter Stanczyk] shortly before the Taliban murdered him. Video at end of post.

Family and friends of brutally murdered Piotr Stanczak are in my thoughts and prayers.

KOHAT, Pakistan, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Pakistani Taliban militants released a video tape on Sunday of them beheading a Polish geologist whom they said killed him because Pakistan’s government refused to release Taliban prisoners.

The Islamist militants said on Saturday they had executed the Polish engineer, Piotr Stanczak, who they kidnapped in September, because the government had refused to free 60 captured militants before Friday’s deadline.

A tape was delivered to the office of a Reuters reporter in the northwestern town of Dera Ismail Khan showing two masked men cutting off Stanczak’s head.

Before he was killed, Stanczak was seen on the tape appealing to the Polish government not to send troops to Afghanistan.

UPDATE by Rusty: Don't expect the unedited version any time soon. The video was not posted at the usual forums. Instead, it appears to have been hand delivered by a Taliban courier directly to a Reuters reporter. [Or, it's being passed around in e-mails rather than in public].

The version of the video and images from it at Islamist forums seem to be the edited version released by Reuters.

I can tell you from viewing many of these beheading snuff films in the past that they are absolutely horrible. Contrary to the claims made by terror apologists, the victims suffer greatly. It is not over quickly.

Why do I tell you this? Because this is the true nature of the Taliban and other "resistance" organizations. Those who murdered Piotr Stanczak are held up as heroes, not criminals, by Islamist fanatics. And some on the Left equivocate between US soldiers accidentally killing civilians with the intentional murder of civilians, such as this Polish hostage.

In the rare case that our soldiers do commit such crimes, we call them what they are: criminals. And we prosecute them.

No sane person could ever support the Taliban and their ilk, nor could they ever equivocate between us and them.

---------Begin original post -------------

(Northwest Pakistan) In September 2008, a Polish engineer working for an energy company, Piotr (Peter) Stanczak, was taken hostage by gunmen who killed his driver and bodyguard. Stanczak was then forced to announce the Taliban's demands while pleading for his life on TV.

Today, it's reported that Stanczak has been killed.

The Taliban said Saturday it had killed a Polish engineer kidnapped last year in Pakistan, but the Polish embassy in Islamabad was not able to confirm the claim.

"We have beheaded the Polish engineer after the government failed to meet our demands and we will not hand over his body," a Taliban spokesman said by telephone.

Wow. Just, wow. This 25 year old Ph.D. student named Haiyang Zhu apparently beheaded a recently arrived 22 year old female student named Xin Yang. How did he do it? With a kitchen knife. In a campus cafeteria.

What the hell are they putting in the water down in Blacksburg?

The person that sent in the tip thought that Ningbo is a predominately Muslim area of China, but that's news to me if true. So, the odds of this being sudden jihad syndrome seem pretty low. But it's a pretty disturbing story, nonetheless.

He apparently knew the poor victim pretty well as he was listed on her emergency contact sheet. For now, the cops say they have no motive. Is evil a motive? I guess not. It's just a state of being.

I found what appears to be Zhu's facebook account. At least, I'm 99% sure this is him. Same name, and all his friends appear to be Virginia Tech grad students or alumni. That's where the pic to the right comes from.

Behold, the mundacity of evil.

UPDATE: Cristy has some related thoughts.

AP:

A graduate student from China was decapitated with a kitchen knife in a campus cafe at Virginia Tech by another graduate student who knew her, police said Thursday....

Haiyang and Xin had been having coffee in a cafe in the Graduate Life Center, where Xin was living. About seven other people who were in the coffee shop told police that the two hadn't been arguing before the attack.

Police received two 911 calls shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday, Flinchum said, and were on the scene in a little more than a minute to take Haiyang into custody.

A good point being made in the comments. Seven people stood by and watched Haiyang Zhu decapitate Xin Yang. You know how hard that is? I do. I've seen many a poor innocent soul lose their lives to Islamist extremists use a knife for beheading. There's nothing quick and easy about it.

But even so, the cops were there in under two minutes. You can't respond much faster than that, but what happened? She was still murdered. Police react to crimes, but can't really be everywhere to prevent them.

So, is this another good example for less restriction on concealed handguns? I certainly think so.

At least five inmates have died in a brutal prison fight between gang members in Guatemala.

Emergency services said the prisoners at the Pavoncito prison, in the town of Fraijanes some 70 km south of the capital, mutilated and decapitated rivals, putting a head on a stick in a gruesome sight that could be seen from outside the prison.

Other heads lay on the ground inside the compound.

The rioting began when prisoners were transferred to the Pavoncito jail on Friday from another jail.

My word, what's with the beheading fetish. Head on a stick?

Can we place all the prisoners at Guantanamo here please.

Via Bill Roggio at Weekly Standard.

The Taliban is urging the United Nations, the European Union, and the Red Cross to intervene to halt the execution of three Taliban fighters on death row. "We strongly request the U.N., the EU, the Red Cross and human rights groups to earnestly prevent this barbaric act," the Taliban said in a statement on their website, Reuters reported today.

Predictably, the United Nations and the European Union oppose the executions, "citing concern about the standards of judicial fairness."

What about Paula Lloyd who was set on fire by the Taliban recently.

One of the most disgusting of Taliban's atrocities is the "12 yr old child beheads man video".(fixed link)

"We’ve been in touch with the Taliban and they’ve agreed for a spokesman to take your questions.

Wow, this is impressive! Thank you for all the hard work by the WHYS team to secure an interview.

I would like to know if there is a way that they can live peacefully and respect the differing views of other people. Why can they not be tolerant? What would motivate them to stop the violence?

I'd laugh, but apparently the show isn't a comedy. Surreal:

A recent episode of the series Bonekickers displayed what many are calling graphic images of a moderate Muslim being beheaded by a supposed “extremist Christian”...

Viewers were apparently shocked when actor Paul Nichollswas was seen using a sword to hack off a moderate Muslim’s head in an unprovoked attack.

Nichollswas plays a member of the fictional group called the White Wings Alliance. The fictitious group is far-Right evangelical group of Christians inspired by the Crusades.

Honestly, can the BBC be any more idiotic? What's so disturbing about this is that a fair number of lefties actually believe their own shallow equivocations between religious groups. To them, Christians rhetorically damning non-believers to hell is just as scary as Muslim terrorists actually sending them there.

Then again, it could have been a coldly calculated move at self preservation. A plot involving Christians killing Muslims is sure to raise a protest. But a plot where Muslims murder Christians will get you death threats from the religion of irony.

Meanwhile, four men in actual danger of being beheaded by 'rebels' searching for an independent Presbyterian state in the southern Philippines have been released.

Thanks to Martin.

Ziad Khalaf Raja al-Karbouly, a top aide to Abu Musab al Zarqawi, has had his death sentence confirmed by a Jordanian court. Al-Karbouly confessed to plotting the kidnapping of Moroccan embassy workers Abderrahim Boualam, a driver, and Abdelkrim el-Mouhafidi, a diplomat (shown right).

The two were judged "apostates" by a sharia (Islamic law) court set up by al Qaeda in Iraq and given the death sentence. In other words, they were murdered. Since there murder was at Zarqawi's request, it was most likely a brutal and slow death.

The death sentence in Jordan was given to al-Karbouly for his involvement in other murders perpetrated by AQI on Jordanian truck drivers in Iraq. For a period of time al Qaeda and their allies in The Army of Ansar al Sunnah murdered dozens of Jordanian, Iraqi, & Turkish civilian truck drivers--any one they could get their filthy hands on.

Good riddance to Khalaf Raja al-Karbouly and all who served Abu Musab al Zarqawi. He will not be missed.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan

Pakistani troops shut down three FM radio stations Friday and arrested eight employees after the stations aired a speech by a pro-Taliban cleric, the military said.

Weapons, ammunition, audio cassettes and "provocative literature" were seized, and troops dismantled the stations' transmission equipment, the military said in a statement.

Pakistan's security forces have been battling Fazlullah's supporters in Swat for months as part of its anti-terrorism campaign against supporters of the Taliban and al-Qaida.

A day earlier pro-Taliban cleric Maulana Fazlullah, nicknamed "Radio Mullah", speech was aired on the stations. Fazlullah is trying to enforce Taliban style Islam in Pakistan.

The Taliban and the followers of Maulana Fazlullah have been responsible for numerous kidnapping's and beheading's. In October of last year they kidnapped and beheaded 13 civilians and security officers in front of local residents. They paraded the bodies and severed heads among the residents to scare them.

Jawa readers will also remember the shocking Taliban video of a 12 yr. old boy's beheading of a hostage. That video is seered in my memory.

Reuters:

Islamist insurgents cut off the heads of three Somali soldiers south of the capital on Thursday and the U.N. special envoy said he would try to set up peace talks between the opposition and government.

It was the first case of beheadings since the government and its Ethiopian military allies ousted the Islamists from power in late 2006, sparking a bloody insurgency characterized by roadside bombs and hit-and-run attacks.

"This morning the mujahideen attacked the so-called government troops guarding the roads for the Ethiopian forces. We killed three of them," said Muktar Ali Robow, a senior commander of the Islamists' Shabab youth wing.

Witnesses in the area said they saw three headless corpses near Lego town, 130 km (81 miles) south of Mogadishu.

"We were terrified because we have never seen a human slaughtered like an animal," truck driver Hassan Mohamed Amin told Reuters.

"Islamist Shabab youth wing" is part of the Islamic Courts Union who, for PR purposes, denounce how radical the youth wing is. The actual name for them is Hizbul Shabaab (Arabic, "The Party of Youth") or Al-Shabaab (Arabic, "The Youth"). See Wiki

I, as well as many Jawas, have seen how the terrorists slaughter innocents by beheading. They are worse than animals as animals kill for food not pleasure.

New research by a University of New Hampshire domestic abuse expert says spanking children affects their sex lives as adults.

Professor Murray Straus concludes that children who are spanked are more likely as adults to coerce partners to have sex, to have unprotected sex and to have masochistic sex.

No, I don't believe in beating or abusing a child but a small swat works wonders to get their attention. The following image however shows a different type of child abuse. What will this child, who was taught to behead by the Taliban, do as an adult?

Behead his mate?

I believe this is what the "experts" should be studying.

Here are images from an "exclusive" video posted at the Lee-Media forum (leemedia.net). The forum specializes in posting "exclusive" Taliban videos bought and sold in markets in Waziristan and other "tribal" areas. The videos are of home video quality and rarely get passed through the normal Taliban distribution network.

In addition to "exclusive" videos from the Taliban, the forum focuses on translating al Qaeda and other terrorist propaganda for English language consumption.

Three accused of "spying" and then murdered by the Taliban.

(Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) My guess is that this incident could have happened anywhere but one must not deny the fact that Middle Easterners are much more accustomed to beheadings than Westerners.

Early morning shoppers at a supermarket in Jeddah were left reeling yesterday, with some falling unconscious, after a well-built Syrian man clinched a knife and decapitated his 15-month-old nephew in front of his mother in the store's fruit and vegetable section.

In a brutal murder that has shocked the city, the 25-year-old man beheaded the boy, who was out shopping with his mother -- in full glare of shoppers and staff at Al-Marhaba supermarket on Sari Street around 9.30 a.m. The man, who is the boy's maternal uncle, apparently killed the boy following a dispute with his sister and brother-in-law.

Eyewitnesses said that the man picked up a knife from inside the store and severed the boy's head. The mother and a shopper standing close by fainted, while several other stood in shock and disbelief over what had happened.

A police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Arab News, "The murderer was in a dispute with the boy's mother and her husband. He chopped off the boy's head in front of the mother to get back at her."

An Iraqi militant group posted a video on the internet today that appeared to show the 2004 killing of 12 Nepalese men who worked for a contracting firm in Iraq.

Two still images taken in 2004 of the victims matched footage from the video. It was unclear why the videos, from an Islamist group called the Army of Ansar al-Sunna, had been posted again on the internet. The group did not say the footage was from 2004 in today's posting

Iraqi police and US officials in Baghdad said they had no immediate information on a recent kidnapping of Nepalis.

They are either warning, rallying supporters or are running out of video's. I hope it is the later.

In the 2004 video one Nepalis was beheaded and the rest were shot in the back. Rusty had a complete indepth post August of 2004 on this incident here.

Be forwarned, the images at the bottom of his post are horrific.

February 15, 2008

Some time back we brought you news that the Taliban had reached new lows and were now circulating a propaganda video, produced by the Taliban themselves, showing a 12 year old boy beheading a hostage. Censored video of the horrific act eventually made it to the internet, but we showed some screencaps from the uncensored version in order to show just how horrible the enemy we fight in Afghanistan really are.

How bad are the Taliban? I thought I had seen horrible videos produced by al Qaeda, the Taliban, and other Islamist organizations. I'd seen the depth of their depravity when they beheaded Daniel Pearl. Experienced what I thought was the highest form of righteous indignation possible when they murdered dozens of other hostages. Felt like I knew what wrath was.

None of it even comes close. The images we posted earlier were bad. Add video and sound of a child---a child--slowly hacking away at a man's head while he lives on.....no words can describe it.

Strongest possible content warning: Proceed with extreme caution!

It's so bad that there was some debate amongst ourselves whether to show it or not. Yesterday we put up a link to a video showing al Qaeda in Iraq burning hostages alive. Allahpundit, speaking of that same video says:

Not for those with weak stomachs; not really for those with strong stomachs, either. But force yourself, as none of Cordesman’s charts, as impressive as they are, will drive home to you like this will what it means in practical terms that far fewer of these subhumans are walking around Iraq today than last year. They deserve every misery inflicted upon them.

Strongest possible content warning: You are about to see the true face of our enemies. This is not an American propaganda video, it was made by the Taliban themselves. This is why we fight. This is why we must win.

We'll see how long the video lasts. Original video can be found at here, but site contains sexually explicit ads around the video, hence our reluctance to link them directly.

"Shoot them or hang them" but don't behead Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid stated in a telephone conversation with the media. Burning up the texts I see and of course from an "unkown" location.

The following are some paragraphs taken from article, and again please read it all. His death has touched and haunted untold number of decent human beings. It showed the horror and evil of our enemy.

"This week marks the sixth anniversary of the murder of my son Daniel Pearl a reporter for this newspaper. It is a fitting occasion to step back and reflect on what the tragedy has taught us."

"The shocking element in Danny's murder was that he was killed, not for what he wrote or planned to write, but for what he represented--America, modernity, openness, pluralism, curiosity, dialogue, fairness, objectivity, freedom of inquiry, truth and respect for all people. In short, each and every one of us was targeted in Karachi in January of 2002

"Journalists today are pressured to serve the ideologies of those who pay their salaries or those who supply them with sources of information. CNN's admission, in 2003, that concealed information about the Iraqi regime in order to keep its office in Baghdad is a perfect example of this pressure. In the recent Gaza chaos, Western news agencies have willingly reported Hamas propaganda stunts as truth."

Four of the six suspects arrested last year in a plot to kidnap and behead a British Muslim soldier have pleaded guilty (via Times Online):

Four alleged Islamist extremists pleaded guilty today over a plot to kidnap a Muslim member of the Armed Forces from Birmingham City Centre and then behead him "like a pig".

The group, headed by Parviz Khan, a 38-year-old unemployed charity worker, was arrested in February last year during a series of counter-terrorism raids by police.

At the start of the trial of Amjad Mahmood, 33, and Zahoor Iqbal, 31, who deny involvement in the plot, the jury at Leicester Crown Court was told that Khan was "a man who has the most violent and extreme Islamist views", and headed a Birmingham-based network gathering money and equipment to send to Pakistan for the use of "terrorists".

"He was enraged by the idea that there are Muslim soldiers in the British army," Nigel Rumfitt, for the prosecution, said.

The court heard that Khan had decided to kidnap such a soldier with the help of drug dealers operating in Birmingham. The victim was to be seized in a part of the city known for its nightlife and bundled into a car.

"He would be taken to a lockup garage and there he would be murdered by having his head cut off like a pig. This atrocity would be filmed ... and the film released to cause panic and fear within the British armed forces and the wider public," Mr Rumfitt said.

Thankfully this plot was nipped in the bud, but it shows how vital it is to pray for the the protection of our troops, and those of our allies: even when they are home from Iraq or Afghanistan, they can still face battlefields in their own communities.

I think it's time to bring back the Boycott Indonesia banner.

Do we see how "moderate" Muslim countries deliver "justice" now?

Christians kill Muslims: death sentence.

Muslims murder 3 little girls by beheading them on their way to school: between 10-19 years each. If you haven't seen

Asia News:

Yesterday a court in South Jakarta condemned Wiwin Kalahe alias Rahman to 19 years in prison; his accomplices Yudi Heriyanto alias Udit and Agus Nur Muhammad alias Agus Jenggot, received 10 and 14 years detention....

On October 29th the three Christian schoolgirls were walking to school when they were attacked and beheaded with machetes in the area of Gebang Rejo, Poso. Two of the heads were discovered close to a police station the third was left close to a Church.

In December 2006 the Indonesian justice system decided capital punishment for three Catholics - Fabianus Tibo, Marinus Riwu and Domingo da Silva – held responsible for violence against the Muslim community during the Poso conflict. The sentence was carried out despite a chorus of international protest, which denounced irregularities in the trial.

Yesterday the same court condemned a further four terrorists to 14 and 18 years in prison for involvement in making bombs to be used against the Christian community, as well as the explosion of one of the devices in a Christian market in Tentena on May 28 2005. On that occasion 22 people died, while a further 43 were gravely injured.

(Warning: graphic) If you don't want to be further outraged, don't click here or here to see images of the victims.

We actually have friends who are Christians missionaries in Indonesia. Where are you Stan & Big White Infidel?

UPDATE: A reminder from Tim at Opinion Bug that the names of the victims were: Ida Yarni Sambue, Theresia Morangke, and Alrfita Poliw

Isn't the al Hesbah forum just so fun these days? It's a lot like Ekhlaas, only fewer videos and more death threats. MEMRI:

"This Saturday, Bush Will Be in Riyadh; Lions of the Peninsula, [Get Ready] to Cut Off His Head." ...

This Saturday [November 17, 2007], the Arabian Peninsula, home of the Prophet Muhammad, will be trodden upon by the Crusader dog, the foolish leader of the worldwide heresy and evil, [George] Bush. He will attend a summit, which will, to the best of my knowledge, be dedicated to world trade.

"Oh young [followers] of Muhammad! Hasten to assassinate this leader of heresy! [In reward], may Allah promote you to the highest spheres of Paradise. Oh brigades of martyrs, go forth with Allah's blessing and lie in wait for this scoundrel everywhere, just as the Al-Qaeda fighters have been ambushing his soldiers in Iraq."

A group of Pakistani police officers and paramilitary troops kidnapped Friday in retaliation for a raid on a terrorist hideout have been publicly beheaded (via AFP):

Militants seized and beheaded 13 civilians and security officers in north-west Pakistan after government troops launched an assault on a radical cleric's hideout, officials say.

The beheadings took place late on Friday (local time) in the scenic Swat valley in North West Frontier Province, where soldiers clashed with fighters loyal to the cleric, who has been driving a fierce campaign to introduce pro-Taliban laws.

Earlier this week, the military deployed more than 2,000 troops to the region to bolster efforts to crack down on attacks launched against government leaders and security forces.

Provincial home secretary Badshah Gul Wazir says the militants seized three police and three paramilitary officers shopping at a bazaar in Matta on the outskirts of Swat and later beheaded all of them.

The bodies and severed heads were then paraded in front of local residents to scare them, he said.

Provincial police chief Sharif Virk says seven civilians were also seized from a van nearby by militants who then executed them, also on Friday.

"They were also slaughtered by terrorists who accused them of collaborating with the government forces," he said.

More details from Dawn News Pakistan:

“It was gruesome,” was how a resident of Shakkardarra described the scene of beheading of the law-enforcement personnel. Requesting anonymity, he told Dawn on phone that masked militants armed with rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles brought the four men to the village at around 5pm, fired a few shots in the air and then beheaded them.

The men, said to be in their mid-20s, had their hands tied together. They were pushed to the ground on the main Matta-Mingora road and had their heads chopped off.

“Let this serves as a warning to all those who spy for the government or help the government. All sons of Bush will meet similar fate,” the resident quoted one of the militants announcing shortly before the execution.

“We watched the gory scene in shock and horror. We felt so helpless. There was fear and gloom in the village,” he said.

The murders were carried out by followers of cleric Maulana Fazlullah, who is fighting to impose Taliban-style Islamic law on Pakistan. His spokesman blamed the government for provoking the attack (via ABC News Australia):

"We are fighting because the government forces have attacked us," he said.

"We are only demanding enforcement of Sharia [Islamic laws] in the district and withdrawal of the army and paramilitary from the region."

Prayers for the comfort of the families of the murdered men, and for the continued strength and courage of those soldiers and police fighting a vicious enemy.

A few of us who monitor these things noticed that a prominent forum had released a video showing al Qaeda in Iraq murdering four people by beheading them with a knife earlier in the week. We've communicated back and forth over just how gruesome the video is.

It's bad. Very very bad. If not the worst beheading snuff video I've ever seen, right up at the top. Sickening. Disgusting. The words don't even come close to painting a true picture.

The video is actually old and the murders dates from November 2004 and early 2005, but it had never been released. Why would al Qaeda in Iraq release this video now nearly three years after the crime?

The video shows four hostages who al Qaeda claims are highway bandits confessing. Two are then murdered together and two more beheaded at different times.

The victims are: Othman Nasser Azawi, Ali Hassan Makhlaf, Joumouaa al Lwizi, & Abd Assatar al Sabaawi

They warn that this is the fate of criminals. It should be remembered that al Qaeda routinely gets "confessions" from hostages, even from those who's only "crime" was working for the democratically elected government in Iraq.

I've decided to go ahead and post a few frames of the video to serve as a reminder of what we're up against in Iraq. There is a reason the people of Anbar and Diyalah got fed up with al Qaeda and took up arms against them.

Contrary to popular belief among Salafi Muslims, some of who are celebrating the video on the forums, beheading is not a humane way to die. The victims clearly suffer severely and do not die instantly. At several points during the four murders the murderer has a hard time finishing the job as the knife will not cut all the way through.

Further, there is no real evidence that these men were criminals at all. Just "confessions" made under duress.

They were murdered, plain and simple.

There is no equivalence between al Qaeda murdering hostages in Iraq and a few American soldiers who have unlawfully killed civilians there either. In America we decry this sort of behavior and treat them like the criminals they are. Our murderers are criminals.

But the Salaafist jihadis celebrate these types of murders. Abu Musab al Zarqawi, who was head of al Qaeda at the time, is celebrated as a cult hero. The video suggests that the men murdering hostages are figures worthy of emulation.

In fact, what really prompted me to post this was that so many on the Islamist forums seem to be celebrating the return of the beheading video to the internet. Others justify beheading as humane, necessary, or an integral part of Sharia law.

There is no justification for such sick barbarism, and those who take some sort of perverse pleasure in watching these videos are beyond the pale. They are not human, they are subhuman. They are scum.

Proceed at your own risk. The images below show the true face of or enemies in Iraq and the kind of system of justice they would inflict on any country they conquer. There can be no compromise or deals with the Salafist jihadis in Iraq.

They must be exterminated.

Must be those Presbyterian separatists in Thailand again. IHT:

Police in insurgency-wracked southern Thailand said Tuesday that mobile phones seized from an attack site contain video clips showing suspected insurgents beheading their victims and in one case, cutting off a soldier's sex organ....

One video clip taken Jan. 2, 2006 showed a suspected insurgent beheading a soldier, then severing his penis and laughing with the person taking the video, Sompien said.

The second clip was made on May 14 of this year, showing the beheading of a Buddhist man after he and his wife were shot. A third video clip filmed June 15 shows the bullet-ridden bodies of seven soldiers.

Islam's freedom fighters working for a better world. Just like the Founding Fathers....or Gandhi.

IRNA:

Pakistani Taliban fighters beheaded two tribesmen accused of being U.S. spies in the Waziristan region bordering Afghanistan, correspondents in the restive tribal region said Wednesday.

Officials said that a note in Urdu language said that 'Badshah Wazir was a hypocrite and Satanic person who has been spying for the United States and Pakistan since long.

All those working for the U.S. and hypocrite U.S. friend will face the same fate, the note said....

Another beheaded body was found in a canal in Sarorogha area of South Waziristan.

A letter was found near the body, saying those working for the United States will face the same fate.

TV report showing 'El Mujahadid' unit--which later was incorporated into the Bosnian Muslim Army--preparing to behead a Serbian. Portions of the video not shown also show these Bosnians playing soccer with the Serb's decapitated head.

Warning: About 1:45 in to the video you begin to see bound prisoners, and knives & axes being sharpened. The video does not show the beheading, but it does show one bound prisoner being shot. It also shows children being trained by the Mujahidin.

The date stamp from the beheading portion of the video shows 1995--two years after this unit of mostly foreign fighters was incorporated into the Bosnian Muslim Army under the command of the War Council headed by Bosnia's then-president Alija Izetbegovic.

I expect YouTube to delete the video soon, but I've downloaded it and will re-upload it somewhere else as soon as time permits.

Background: AKI:

The footage, broadcast by BN TV apparently shows the 'El Mujahadid' unit "sharpening axes" which they later allegedly used to behead a Bosnian Serb soldier.

The video also reportedly shows footage of the mujahadeen in playing football using a decapitated head instead of a ball, Serbian news agency Tanjug reported.

It contains chilling scenes showing mutilated corpses mujahadeen tying up and abuse prisoners of war. A mujahadeen is heard saying: "They call us terrorists. We are terrorists and we will destroy all the enemies of Allah."

The El Mujahid was a unit consisting of fighters from Muslim countries, who, as they say on the tape, came to Bosnia to "fight for Allah."

This video was posted by my friend Iraqi Translator Marine. He says they play it on Iraqi TV. According to the commercial, beheading journalists and hostages is not Islamic. Feel good video of the day.

I just love that story in the Bible about how Jesus chopped off that one whore's neck.

ME Times:

Suspected Islamic militants beheaded two women accused of prostitution in northwestern Pakistan, police said Friday, in the latest case of Taliban-style justice in the region....

A note left with the corpses accused the women of being involved in prostitution with the support of local officials, and warned others like them that they would be punished in the same way, Khattak said....

The bodies of the women, who were identified only as Maino and Malaki, have been handed over to their relatives, he added.

In March, pro-Taliban extremists stoned and then shot dead two men and a woman for alleged adultery in front of a crowd of hundreds of people in the remote Khyber tribal area.

Two lovers were tied to trees and stoned to death by angry relatives in central Punjab province in January, in a so-called "honor killing" because of their allegedly immoral activities.

*John 3:

3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
