Libertarian Commentary on the News, #13-51C: Islamic Evil (still with us)

Islamic war: Central African Front – Evil
Nigeria:  Islamists justify killings
(680 News, via Freedom Outpost) An Islamic extremist leader in northeastern Nigeria says the bloody insurgency will continue because Allah says they must decapitate and mutilate. In a video newly released Saturday, Abubakar Shekau claims responsibility for the Dec. 20 attack on a tank battalion barracks and says his men would have eaten their enemies, but Allah forbids cannibalism. Witnesses said insurgents put soldiers to flight and set the complex ablaze before they were driven off by a jetfighter.

Nathan: The Boko Haram use the following passages from the Koran to justify their murderous activities, which were finally condemned last month as ‘terrorism” by the US Administration, after several years of vicious attacks.

Qur’an (5:33) – “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides…”

Qur’an (8:12) – “Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their fingertips off them.”

Nathan: Contrast this with the Bible, especially the New Testament.  But even when God ordered the destruction of nations and the death of the people, it was not specified HOW this was to be done – and even stoning was done only after specific legal proceedings (for those who care, the New Testament removed those powers and punishments:  as christians, we are not given any power of punishment of unbelievers or even those who “wage war against us” except the power of self-defense against attack.  I suppose the Boko Haram are at least “somewhat” civilized: they do not eat the bodies of their enemies.  Unlike their fellow Islamists in wartorn Syria (next story):

Islamic wars: Syrian front – Evil
Syria: Disease associated with Cannabalism appears

(Shoebat.com) It’s called Kuru, an extremely rare disease which virtually became extinct after extinguishing cannibalism in Papua New Guinea. Amazingly Kuru has now been found in 8 to 20 people, out of all places, in war-torn Syria, and the only way it could have come about, doctors confirmed, is through cannibalism and the consumption of human brain, as first reported by Arabian news source Zaman al-Wasal and substantiated by Orient News Television.Two of the infected were sent from Syria to a hosptial in Ghazi Antab in Turkey for further examination to only be transferred to another hospital in Germany. One of the two already died, since Kuru is 100% fatal. Kuru is contagious and has symptoms of skin ulcers and worms, and according to a piece on the New York Times, Kuru is a very rare disease. It is caused by an infectious protein (prion) found in contaminated human brain tissue.

Nathan: Sick enough yet?  Enough reason that I (and many others) refer to Islam as a death cult, as evil as any Moloch worshippers burning babies (or abortionists killing babies) or Azteca priests carving the hearts out of their victims on the pyramids?  HOW many Islamic voices have you heard condemning this?  How many apologists for Islam have you heard saying, “this is evil, this is wrong, this is not Islam?”  Except the one guy in Nigeria (previous story) who says Allah does not permit cannibalism?  And even he did not speak out about Syrian evils.  Of course, there is at least SOME evidence of cannibalism, as well as child sacrifice and the killing of slaves to accompany their dead masters to paradise in ancient Syria’s various civilizations.  Are these “rebels” just reverting to ancestral practices?  Apparently, Islamic authorities and their fellows are not opposing it.  Which makes even modern people, so condemning of God’s instructions to Israel during the conquest of Canaan, a bit more understanding about why whole peoples and nations were to be wiped out.  But governments and people tend to be rather stupid about such things.
