Video Shows Beheading

[Elisheba]

"The brief video ends with bloody images of a body in an orange jumpsuit being beheaded with a knife as his assailants repeatedly shout 'God is great!'"

How exactly does murderous brutality show that God is great?

From AP:

In the new video, a bearded, blindfolded man sits before four masked men clad in black and a black banner with the words Tawhid and Jihad in white Arabic script. The hostage is wearing the orange jumpsuit that has become an iconic element in such videos, meant to evoke those worn by Iraqi prisoners subjected to abuse while in U.S. custody in Iraq.

A man is heard saying, "Here we are returning again to cut off the neck of the other hostage."

Note the language, recalling Sura 47:4 of the Qur'an: "Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks..."

The brief video ends with bloody images of a body in an orange jumpsuit being beheaded with a knife as his assailants repeatedly shout "God is great!" The victim does not appear to struggle, indicating he may have been dead or drugged before the beheading, or that his arms were somehow restrained. In the last scene, one of the men in black brandishes the severed head before the camera....

Tawhid and Jihad's name refers to the Islamic tenets of monotheism and holy war. The group is believed led by Jordanian terror suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and has also claimed responsibility for the beheadings of U.S. businessman Nicholas Berg and South Korean translator Kim Sun-il.

A picture is worth a thousand words, this video is worth tenfold. What can one say, but that Islamo-Fascism is a perversity… if not Islam as a whole? What rattles my onions is the fact that all is soon forgotten, and the dunderheads of governments and media continue to error on the side of insanity:
By trying to substantiate Islam is a peaceful religion.
These terrorists and their numerous supporters should be eradicated, not mollycoddled as they are by the above mentioned. I fear, western-democracies have a death wish; excluding the US (thus far), Israel and their few resolute allies.

What I don't understand is why so many people cannot see that this is pure evil?

What makes someone so 'politically correct' that, even after viewing this and similar atrocities over and over, so many in this world still stand with them and against Israel (and the USA).

Sometimes, I wonder if this really might be hell ... not really, but I don't know the words to express the depth of feeling all of this evokes in me.

I have the same problem, Elisheba; finding the right words, which express what I feel when attempting to define the revulsion, it stirs in me. There are times, I feel physically ill when reading or seeing the worldview (not an exaggeration) excluding, obviously, Israel, most of the US and their few steadfast allies.
Let me know when you do, let me in on it, please.

Sometimes there are no words ...

Hello everyone. I'm new. I watch every single one of these videos for a few different reasons. I don't ever want to forget the evil that America—I'm American—and Israel are up against (I've kind of given up on Europe for the time being). This is what these people do in the name of their god. I also watch so that I can remind others of what we're up against. And finally, I watch because I want to defy the politically correct leftists to claim that these are just "isolated incidents," because the last time I checked, there weren't any Jewish or Christian or atheistic "isolated incidents" like this. And not only do these ghouls revel in their shadenfreude over this, but they also love to have it on film.

It's simply disgraceful, and it's not going to stop until everyone—not just Israel and the U.S.—gets serious about confronting this death cult.

This last video really affected me. I couldn't think straight for the rest of the night and I went numb for a while—pretty much shutting down. Then I thought of those poor mothers in Israel who had to deal with seeing the remains of their boys being shown on television.

It's insane, nightmarish, and evil madness.

According to Aqa Mahdi Puya, slaughtering captives is not allowed in Islam.

Jusuf Ali says that this command to believers is to kill or be killed when fighting unbelievers who have have launched an attack, but not when they have surrendered.

Seems to me that the first explanation leaves no wiggle room when it comes to these animals claiming they are following Islam, but the latter one does. As is so often the case, it all boils down to semantics, and just as Islamists will attempt to gain any advantage through the use of such, I would think the single word "surrendered" in the latter explanation would give them enough room to claim they were acting in accordance with Islam. If any infidel on Arabic soil can be considered an attacker (of course, the troops could be considered such, but they do need to broaden their definitions to suit their needs), then any person who is thus caught who does not immediately embrace Islam could be labled as non-surrendering.

Islam -- surrender. Surrender to Islam.

Note the language, recalling Sura 47:4 of the Qur'an: "Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks..."

Did they meet these victims "in fight"??? Doesn't sound like they are following that verse at all. Find the one where it says kill non-combatants. Good luck.
