Islam and the march of horror upon the earth links 3 for June 16 2014

1. ‘My husband told them we were Christians and they shot him in the head’: How al-Shabaab militia went from door to door killing non-Muslims as Kenyan village watched World Cup

(This is Islam today)

Somali militants who murdered 48 people in a Kenyan village as they watched the World Cup went door to door asking residents if they were Muslim or spoke Somali – and shot them dead if either answer was ‘no’, witnesses revealed today.

The attack on the coastal village of Mpeketoni, about 30-miles southwest of the tourist centre of Lamu, came at the end of a weekend of bloodshed that has exposed the world to the shocking depravity of terrorists, apparently emboldened by each other’s acts.

2.  UK MP and activists do a ‘hashtag’ (pound) bring back our boys campaign for the three kidnapped Israeli teens. Interesting that Mrs. Obama thinks of those Kenyan girls kidnapped by Muslim terrorists as “her girls” but not Israeli boys even though one of them was in fact, American. 

3. Jailed: Knifeman who stabbed cafe boss after row over hat 

Ali Rashedi has been jailed for seven years

A customer who stabbed a cafe boss in revenge for being kicked out has been jailed for seven years. Ali Rashedi, 25, knifed the 51-year-old victim in the shoulder days after rowing with staff over his hat.

4. This morning, Canada’s most courageous radio-talk show host actually dared raise a question that is clearly factual and even obvious. His question was something to the effect of, ‘why is Islam so overtly and horrifically violent today’? and Lowell observed that the Nazis tried to hide their brutality but ‘islamists’ use it as a recruitment tool. I would add that communists also tried to hide their genocidal actions while muslims take videos and get paid for it. Not that many called on the topic but a few did. One regular called to the show who is Islam-factual and he was countered by a Muslim who engaged in some obfuscation and then got called out on it by someone who I think is a Coptic Christian from Egypt. Most of the show is colloquial banalities about the price of gas and traffic. But if you want something to listen to while doing dishes or making dinner some of this may be interesting, if for no reason other than

getting a sense of the general public's attitudes about Islamic horror today.      
He broaches the subject at just after the 5 minute mark.

5. ‘Black flag of jihad will fly over London’: Alarm over UK-born Iraq fighters’ threat

Terror alerts, 9/11-style bombings and murders of British citizens will soon come to London’s streets, according to chilling threats from UK citizens fighting alongside Islam’s most violent terrorist group operating in Syria and Iraq.

The threat comes from British nationals fighting for the Sunni militant group calling themselves the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS) in Syria. According to the Sunday Times, they promise that after they’re done there, Britain is next. The message comes from three such fighters, all youngsters in their teens and twenties.

6. Iraq conflict: Militants ‘seize’ city of Tal Afar

More graphic footage has emerged, purporting to show Iraqi prisoners being interrogated, as Jonathan Beale reports. (Video at site) Militants led by ISIS – the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant – captured key cities including Mosul and Tikrit last week, but some towns were retaken.

7. Five men sentenced to death in China for a terrorist attack using a car to crash into a crowd.

The men were convicted of carrying out a “violent terror attack” by a court in Xinjiang province, state media said.

Reports said at least two appeared to be from Xinjiang’s Uighur ethnic minority, which Beijing accuses of waging a violent separatist campaign.

8. China executes 13 accused of terrorism etc.

9. Tarek Fatah: Young British Muslims praise Islamic laws based on medieval Sharia

(Video, apparently from Anjem Choudary’s group at link above)

To be frank the horrific punishments are the least offensive of the three elements which are problematic in sharia.

The most offensive and horrifying is the way in which guilt is determined. There is no due process and no context or even truth as consideration. In Western law for example, truth was an absolute defense until political-correctness and islam began to corrupt it.

The second most horrifying aspect of it is the things which Islam calls a crime such as speech, thought and freedom of choice crimes. So a person can be killed for apostasy, horrifying enough all on its own, but there is no real court to determine that. Just the word of a Muslim against a non-muslim as we see today with the doctor in jail in Sudan.

This means that the threat of death from the mere accusation of blasphemy or apostasy forces non-Muslims or even disliked muslims into a state of eternal servitude and submission in case someone decides to use this tool.

and possibly most of us might not be that upset if a serial murderer of children was stoned to death if it could be shown to be a deterrent in a meaningful way or not. But I find the nature of the punishments in islam to be the least problematic aspect of sharia overall.

  1. Israel to ‘Overthrow Hamas Infrastructure’ in Judea and Samaria

    Israel will seek to deal a crushing blow to Hamas’s infrastructure in Judea and Samaria following the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers, army radio reported on Monday.
    [… aka “Bring back our balls.”]

    Plans to move against the Islamist terrorist movement were discussed at a meeting of the security cabinet convened by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at which ministers discussed punitive steps against Hamas which Israel says is behind the kidnapping of three teenagers, media reports said.

    [But for leftist ministers, “legalities” trump rescue…]
    A senior official quoted by Haaretz said the justice ministry had on Sunday looked into the legalities of expelling Hamas members to Gaza. The meeting was attended by Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein and other ministry officials, it said.
    [… Haaretz!! and Tzipi Livni!!]
    The discussion was to “explore whether such steps were in line with international law and would stand up to challenges in the High Court,” according to the report, indicating that no decision had yet been taken.

    As well as deportation to Gaza and demolishing the homes of senior Hamas members, Israel was also weighing sanctions against Hamas prisoners in Israel jails, it said.

  2. 4/ But Nazis were meticulous about keeping records and accounts. All those lists, check-marks. Besides enough photos to make FDR’s head swim.

    We were covering up their atrocities as surely as we tacitly sanctioned those of Stalin.

  3. Inner struggle in Iraq – Shiites respond to call of spiritual leader to take up arms

  4. 6/ I agree wholeheartedly, Eeyore. There has to be an alternative to the prison system.

    Whether or not capital punishment serves as a deterrent is an open question. It would have to be imposed soon after the crime to have any effect. We’d have to prevent – somehow – turning them into martyrs.

    It won’t deter impulsive mad-dogs or serial killers, but their speedy execution would be good for the environment. And systematic organ-harvesting would make a real difference to society.

    • Capital Punishment is a deterrent as long as the execution occurs withing 12 months of the conviction, the useful idiots in the west have managed to draw out the execution over 20 years in the natinos where it has not been outlawed.

  5. 4/ Couldn’t listen to it all, but my impression was it wasn’t Lowell’s best outing. He should have given the issue exclusive focus, played dumb less often, allowed James more airtime and the Muslim blowhard less. And what’s the great sociological mystery about Muslims being attracted to Islam? They’re, Muslims.

  6. I found the muslim blowhard the most interesting. He used an especially fallacious argument that Lowell didn’t quite catch.

    When Lowell asked him why muslims were attracted to jihad, he said that it was white people with anglo names which reverted, corrected himself, and said converted to islam.

    Now had Lowell been on his game he would have busted the guy for trying to deflect from the issue by making it a racial thing, ironically by admitting that the only thing all the jihadis had in common was that they are all to a man, muslims.
