Beheading is the ‘signature punishment’ given out by Islamists. No doubt, you will have heard on the news about Daniel Pearl, Nich berg and countless others who have been captured and then beheaded on videotape. The Islamists could easily just kill their hostages with a bullet to the head, they have loads of guns, but beheading is the preferred method, why is that do you think?
It’s easy. Qur’an commands muslims to:
I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off. Qur’an 8:12
Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), strike off their heads Qur’an 47:4
Last year, Sunni Muslim fanatics beheaded Mansuur Mohammed who was a Christian convert. He was beheaded in the most cruel and barbaric way and at the same time Muslims were celebrating by saying Allah Akbar (Allah is great).
How many people have been beheaded by muslims just for being Christians? Earlier this month, seven more Somali’s were decapitated by the al-Shabaab group. When the group was asked why they were executed, they said:
“Al-Shabaab told us that they were beheaded for being Christian followers and spies,”
Islamic extremists have beheaded two young boys in Somalia because their Christian father refused to divulge information about a church leader, and the killers are searching Kenya’s refugee camps to do the same to the boys’ father.
Indonesia, October 30, 2005, THREE SCHOOL GIRLS: Theresia Morangke, Alfita Poliwo and Yarni Sambue were beheaded by Islamists for being Christians. The two men who were convicted of this crime got 14 years each. Very lenient don’t you think? That’s because Indonesia is a muslim majority country and Christians are worth much less than muslims in Islam. Compare these sentences to that given Aussie visitors, caught with pot, who got life sentences. Insane?
Baghdad, Iraq, October 21st, 2006 – A 14 year old Assyrian boy was beheaded by muslims in a factory where he worked. His crime, he was a Christian. Click the link for more details.
This list could get very very long, only God knows how many Christians have been massacred by muslims.
Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Revelation 20:4
In the book of revelation we read many things about the future. Some of the things are hard to interpret but the verse above is very clear. The writer of revelation saw the souls of people who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus.
Is this Islam? the religion of peace…
In Islam, the prophet Muhammad is described as the “perfect man” and muslims try to emulate his ways. He beheaded people himself:
According to Sirat A, Rasul page 464:
When Banu Qurayza Jewish tribe was surrendered (627 A.D.) unconditionally, the apostle confined them in Medina in the quarter of al-Harith, a woman of B. al-Najjar. Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches tying theirs both hands with their necks. This beheading went on until the apostle made an end of them. There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900. Apparently Muhammad himself worked on the digging of the trench into which the massacred Jews were to be thrown. But he (Muhammad) did not only take part in those preparations, the formulation of the text states but also participated himself in beading of at least two of the leading Jews.
Of course, Islam is not the only culture that has used beheading to kill people. Beheading of criminals with a sword or axe was a common practice by all ancient civilizations for thousands of years. Beheading was widely used in Europe, Asia and Africa (Muslim and non-Muslim alike) until the very early 20th century, and only recently entire civilized world have abandoned this ancient and cruel practice of capital punishment.
Islamists believe they are doing God’s work when they behead people… you will hear them saying Allah Akbar (God is great) when committing these atrocities. It reminds me of what the Lord said:
Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor Me. John 16:2-3
These muslims are deceived. I think God is going to have to step into this world and sort it out pretty soon!
