Iraq War - Fighting a War without Identifying the Enemy

11/19/2006

- June 12-18, 2004: In the land where Islam/Submission was born, in the land where Islam's death march around the world has been funded, Paul Johnson, an American citizen was kidnapped by Muslim militants the Saud Wahhabi warlords indoctrinated. A week later, Paul's decapitated body was found in a remote area of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Paul Johnson was a 49-year-old employee of Lockheed Martin when he was kidnapped, mutilated, and murdered by men following Allah's Qur'anic orders and Muhammad's Sunnah example. Proud of what they had done in Allah's Cause, these good Muslims, and thus by definition, bad people, posted graphic images of their demented deed on a series of Islamic websites. Allahu Akbar! One photograph showed a severed head sitting on the back of a headless body.

Al-Muqrin had threatened to kill Johnson in 72 hours unless the Saudi government released al Qaeda prisoners and Westerners left the Arabian Peninsula. "As we promised, we the mujahideen (holy warriors) from the Fallujah Squadron slaughtered the American hostage Paul Johnson after the deadline we gave to the Saudi tyrants," said a statement on the Web site that has been translated from the Arabic. "So he got his fair share from this life and for him to taste a bit of what the Muslims have been suffering from Apache helicopter attacks. They were tortured by its missiles."

Johnson had worked on Apache attack helicopters in Saudi Arabia and had lived there for more than a decade. It repulses me that America sells weapon systems like the Apache gunship to Islamic warlords like the Sauds.

Speaking in Seattle, Bush also said, "The murder of Paul shows the evil nature of the enemy we face. ... We must pursue these people and bring them to justice before they hurt other Americans." Too bad Mr. President didn't know that the "evil enemy" was Islam and that the Saudi government he loves so much is this enemy's home base.

As news of Johnson's killing spread, U.S. officials condemned the terrorists. Frank Lautenberg, a Democratic senator from Johnson's home state of New Jersey, issued a scathing indictment of Saudi Arabia's efforts to combat terrorism. "The Saudi Arabian government has shown too much patience for these terrorist cells and the ideologies of hate they preach. The United States will no longer tolerate Saudi neglect of the extremists and terrorists who live and thrive in the kingdom," Lautenberg said. What Senator Lautenberg doesn't understand is that the Saudi warlords, their fiefdom, their religion, and terrorism are all one in the same. "All further relations with Saudi Arabia must be entirely contingent on the kingdom's progress cracking down, reigning in and snuffing out its terrorist problem. Deeds, not words, must be the benchmark of Saudi progress in solving the terrorist problem that threatens its society as much as it threatens our own." Congressional ignorance of Islam and the Saud's role in propagating the religion is one of many reasons America is doomed.

Al-Muqrin had claimed responsibility for Johnson's kidnapping and the death of another American, Kenneth Scroggs, on behalf of a group called the Fallujah Squadron, which some claim has ties to al Qaeda.

A senior U.S. State Department official in Washington promoted the terrorist's demands, saying, "We want Americans to leave Saudi Arabia."

The pictures posted on the Islamic websites celebrating Paul's murder have been retained on the Prophet of Doom site because we want Paul Johnson's life to count for something. If you can handle the gore, we strongly encourage you to examine them for by doing so you will gain a new appreciation of how horrible Islam really is.

Along with the pictures we provide a running commentary, not on Paul's execution, but instead on the religion that inspired it. Here is some of what we revealed: Kidnapping, murder, decapitation, mutilation, torture, terror, burning, hanging, and gloating are all justified, even glorified Islamic behaviors. For those who have been fooled by our media, our politicians and clerics into believing that Islam is a peaceful religion and that we all worship the same God, what follows is a cold dose of reality. The simple truth is: the terrorists have not corrupted their religion, Islam has corrupted them. All good Muslims are terrorists.

Qur'an 8:12 "Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I am with you. Give firmness to the Believers. I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.".

Qur'an 8:67 "It is not fitting for any prophet to have prisoners until he has made a great slaughter in the land.".

Ishaq:588 "When the Apostle descends on your land none of your people will be left when he leaves.".

Qur'an 9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.".

Tabari VII:133/Ishaq:387 "When Muhammad saw Hamzah he said, ‘If Allah gives me victory over the Quraysh at any time, I shall mutilate thirty of their men!' When the Muslims saw the rage of the Prophet they said, ‘By Allah, if we are victorious over them, we shall mutilate them in a way which no Arab has ever mutilated anybody.".

Qur'an 47:4 "So, when you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle, fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause, smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam.".

Tabari VIII:122/Ishaq:515 "The Prophet gave orders concerning Kinanah to Zubayr, saying, ‘Torture him until you root out and extract what he has. So Zubayr kindled a fire on Kinanah's chest, twirling it with his firestick until Kinanah was near death. Then the Messenger gave him to Maslamah, who beheaded him.".

Bukhari:V4B54N487 "The Prophet said, ‘The Hell Fire is 69 times hotter than ordinary worldly fires.' So someone said, ‘Allah's Apostle, wouldn't this ordinary fire have been sufficient to torture the unbelievers?'".

Bukhari:V4B52N260 "Ali burnt some [former Muslims alive] and this news reached Ibn Abbas, who said, ‘Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, "Don't punish with Allah's Punishment." No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, "If a Muslim discards his Islamic religion, kill him."'".

Qur'an 33:26 "Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traversed before.".

Ishaq:580 "Our strong warriors obey his orders to the letter. By us Allah's religion is undeniably strong. You would think when our horses gallop with bits in their mouths that the sounds of demons are among them. The day we trod down the unbelievers there was no deviation or turning from the Apostle's order. During the battle the people heard our exhortations to fight and the smashing of skulls by swords that sent heads flying. We severed necks with a warrior's blow. Often we have left the slain cut to pieces and a widow crying alas over her mutilated husband. 'Tis Allah, not man we seek to please.".

Tabari IX:69 "He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for those who disbelieve, we will fight them forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing them is a small matter to us.".

Ishaq:489 "Do the bastards think that we are not their equal in fighting? We are men who think that there is no shame in killing.".

Qur'an 2:191 "And kill them wherever you find and catch them. Drive them out from where they have turned you out; for Al-Fitnah (polytheism, disbelief, oppression) is worse than slaughter.".

Qur'an 33:60 "If the Hypocrites stir up sedition, if the agitators in the city do not desist, We shall urge you to go against them and set you over them. Then they will not be able to stay as your neighbors. They shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy - a fierce slaughter - murdered, a horrible murdering.".

Bukhari:V5B59N512 "The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer [Prayer of Fear] near Khaybar when it was still dark. He said, ‘Allahu-Akbar!' [Allah is Greatest] Khaybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a hostile nation to fight, then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.' Then the inhabitants came out running on their roads. The Prophet had their men killed; their children and woman were taken as captives.".

Qur'an 5:33 "The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Prophet and make mischief in the land, is to murder them, crucify them, or cut off a hand and foot on opposite sides...their doom is dreadful. They will not escape the fire, suffering constantly.".

A quick review of the Islamic scriptures is sufficient to prove that Islam breeds violence. Here is a taste of what Muhammad and his god had to say about fighting:

Bukhari:V4B52N50 "The Prophet said, ‘A single endeavor of fighting in Allah's Cause is better than the world and whatever is in it.'".

Ishaq:587 "Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace.".

Qur'an 9:88 "The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah's Cause.".

Qur'an 9:111 "The Believers fight in Allah's Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.".

Qur'an 8:39 "Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.".

Ishaq:324 "Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must not have rivals.".

Qur'an 9:29 "Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.".

Ishaq:325 "Muslims, fight in Allah's Cause. Stand firm and you will prosper.".

Qur'an 8:65 "O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding.".

Bukhari:V4B52N63 "A man whose face was covered with an iron mask came to the Prophet and said, ‘Allah's Apostle! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first?' The Prophet said, ‘Embrace Islam first and then fight.' So he embraced Islam, and was martyred. Allah's Apostle said, ‘A Little work, but a great reward.'".

Bukhari:V4B53N386 "Our Prophet ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah alone or pay us the Jizyah tribute tax in submission. Our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says: ‘Whoever amongst us is killed as a martyr shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever survives shall become your master.'".

Terror is mainstream Islam. Even Muhammad was a terrorist - leading 75 brutal raids in less than 10 years. Osama bin Laden is just following his example. Here is a sampling of what Muhammad and Allah said about terror:

Bukhari:V4B52N220 "Allah's Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.'".

Ishaq:326 "If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah's enemies.".

Tabari IX:42 "We have been dealt a situation from which there is no escape. You have seen what Muhammad has done. Arabs have submitted to him and we do not have the strength to fight. You know that no herd is safe from him. And no one even dares go outside for fear of being terrorized.".

Ishaq:326 "Allah said, ‘No Prophet before Muhammad took booty from his enemy nor prisoners for ransom.' Muhammad said, ‘I was made victorious with terror. The earth was made a place for me to clean.'".

Ishaq:327 "Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.'".

Qur'an 7:3 "Little do you remember My warning. How many towns have We destroyed as a raid by night? Our punishment took them suddenly while they slept for their afternoon rest. Our terror came to them; Our punishment overtook them.".

Ishaq:510 "When the Apostle looked down on Khaybar he told his Companions, ‘O Allah, Lord of the Devils and what into error they throw, and Lord of the winds and what they winnow, we ask Thee for the booty of this town and its people. Forward in the name of Allah.' He used to say this of every town he raided.".

Bukhari:V9B87N127 "The Prophet said, ‘I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with terror.'".

Ishaq:517 "Khaybar was stormed by the Apostle's squadron, fully armed, powerful and strong. It brought certain humiliation with Muslim men in its midst. We attacked and they met their doom. Muhammad conquered the Jews in fighting that day as they opened their eyes to our dust.".

Tabari VIII:116/Ishaq:511 "So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home.".

Bukhari:V5B59N512 "The Prophet had their men killed, their children and woman taken captive.".

Tabari VIII:129 "After the Messenger had finished with the Khaybar Jews, Allah cast terror into the hearts of the Jews in Fadak.".

Qur'an 59:2 "It was Allah who drove the [Jewish] People of the Book from their homes and into exile. They refused to believe and imagined that their strongholds would protect them against Allah. But Allah came at them from where they did not suspect, and filled their hearts with terror. Their homes were destroyed. So learn a lesson, O men who have eyes. This is My warning...they shall taste the torment of Fire.".

Bukhari:V4B52N256 "The Prophet passed by and was asked whether it was permissible to attack infidels at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, ‘Their women and children are from them.'".

Ishaq:576 "Allah and His servant overwhelmed every coward. Allah honored us and made our religion victorious. We were glorified and destroyed them all. Allah humiliated them in the worship of Satan. By what our Apostle recites from the Book and by our swift horses, I liked the punishment the infidels received. Killing them was sweeter than drink. We galloped among them panting for the spoil. With our loud-voiced army, the Apostle's squadron advanced into the fray.".

Ishaq:580 "Our strong warriors obey his orders to the letter. By us Allah's religion is undeniably strong. You would think when our horses gallop with bits in their mouths that the sounds of demons are among them. The day we trod down the unbelievers there was no deviation or turning from the Apostle's order. During the battle the people heard our exhortations to fight and the smashing of skulls by swords that sent heads flying. We severed necks with a warrior's blow. Often we have left the slain cut to pieces and a widow crying alas over her mutilated husband. 'Tis Allah, not man we seek to please.".

Bukhari:V5B59N516 "When Allah's Apostle fought or raided people we raised our voices saying, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.'".

Islam is a declaration of war against all mankind. If we continue to tolerate it, we will die as a result of it. Here's proof:

Ishaq:208 "When Allah gave permission to his Apostle to fight, the second Aqaba contained conditions involving war which were not in the first act of submission. Now we bound themselves to war against all mankind for Allah and His Apostle. He promised us a reward in Paradise for faithful service. We pledged ourselves to war in complete obedience to Muhammad no matter how evil the circumstances.".

Ishaq:472 "Muhammad's Companions are the best in war.".

Qur'an 8:7 "Allah wished to confirm the truth by His words: ‘Wipe the infidels out to the last...'".

Qur'an 8:15 "Believers, when you meet unbelieving infidels in battle while you are marching for war, never turn your backs to them. If any turns his back on such a day, unless it be in a stratagem of war, a maneuver to rally his side, he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell, an evil refuge!".

Qur'an 8:39 "So, fight them till all opposition ends and the only religion is Islam.".

Qur'an 8:45 "O believers! When you meet an army, be firm, and think of Allah's Name much; that you may prosper.".

Qur'an 8:57 "If you meet them in battle, inflict on them such a defeat as would be a lesson for those who come after them, that they may be warned.".

Qur'an 8:58 "If you apprehend treachery from any group on the part of a people (with whom you have a treaty), retaliate by breaking off (relations) with them. The infidels should not think that they can bypass (the law or punishment of Allah). Surely they cannot get away.".

Qur'an 8:59 "The infidels should not think that they can escape. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah's enemy.".

Qur'an 8:60 "And make ready against the infidels all of the power you can, including steeds of war [the Noble Qur'an says these are: tanks, planes, missiles, and artillery] to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy. And whatever you spend in Allah's Cause shall be repaid unto you." [Another translation reads:] Qur'an 8:60 "Prepare against them whatever arms and cavalry you can muster that you may strike terror in the enemies of Allah, and others besides them. Whatever you spend in Allah's Cause will be repaid in full.".

Qur'an 8:71 "He will give you mastery over them.".

Ishaq:204 "‘Men, do you know what you are pledging yourselves to in swearing allegiance to this man?' ‘Yes. In swearing allegiance to him we are pledging to wage war against all mankind.'".

Ishaq:471 "We are steadfast trusting Him. We have a Prophet by whom we will conquer all men.".

Qur'an 4:77 "Lord, why have You ordained fighting for us, why have You made war compulsory?".

Qur'an 4:71 "Believers, take precautions and advance in detachments or go (on expeditions) together in one troop.'".

Ishaq:322 "Allah said, ‘Do not turn away from Muhammad when he is speaking to you. Do not contradict his orders. And do not be a hypocrite, one who pretends to be obedient to him and then disobeys him. Those who do so will receive My vengeance. You must respond to the Apostle when he summons you to war.".

Ishaq:544 "Hassan incited the men, reciting: ‘This is the time for war. Don't feel safe from us. Our swords will open the door to death.'".

Ishaq:574 "In faith I do not fear the army of fate. He gave us the blood of their best men to drink when we led our army against them. We are a great army with a pungent smell. And we attack continuously, wherever our enemy is found.".

According to the Qur'an and Hadith, Jihad is holy war, fighting and terror. There isn't a single Qur'an verse or reputable Hadith passage that suggests it is anything but brutish and vicious. Here are some examples:

Qur'an 2:216 "Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims), though you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and like a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not.".

Qur'an 4:95 "Not equal are those believers who sit at home and receive no injurious hurt, and those who strive hard, fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause with their wealth and lives. Allah has granted a rank higher to those who strive hard, fighting Jihad with their wealth and bodies to those who sit. Allah prefers Jihadists who strive hard and fight above those who sit home. He has distinguished his fighters with a huge reward.".

Bukhari:V4B52N44 "A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, ‘Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad in reward.' He replied, ‘I do not find such a deed.'".

Bukhari:V1B2N25 "Allah's Apostle was asked, ‘What is the best deed?' He replied, ‘To believe in Allah and His Apostle Muhammad.' The questioner then asked, ‘What is the next best in goodness?' He replied, ‘To participate in Jihad, religious fighting in Allah's Cause.'".

Qur'an 33:22 "Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah and have gone out for Jihad (holy fighting). Some have completed their vow to extreme and have been martyred fighting and dying in His Cause, and some are waiting, prepared for death in battle.".

Bukhari:V4B53N412 "Allah's Apostle said on the day of the conquest of Mecca, ‘There is no migration now, only Jihad, holy battle. And when you are called for Jihad, you should come out at once.'" Bukhari:V4B52N311 "Allah's Apostle said, ‘There is no migration after the Conquest of Mecca, but only Jihad. When you are called by the Muslim ruler for Jihad fighting, you should go forth immediately, responding to the call.'".

Qur'an 47:4 "So, when you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam.".

Ishaq:406 "Among us was Allah's Apostle whose command we obey. When he gives an order we do not examine it. The spirit descends on him from his Lord. We tell him about our wishes and our desires which is to obey him in all that he wants. Cast off fear of death and desire it. Be the one who barters his life. Take your swords and trust Allah. With a compact force holding lances and spears we plunged into a sea of men.... and all were made to get their fill of evil. We are men who see no blame in him who kills.".

Ishaq:414 "If you kill us, the true religion is ours. And to be killed for the truth is to find favor with Allah. If you think that we are fools, know that the opinion of those who oppose Islam is misleading. We are men of war who get the utmost from it. We inflict painful punishment on those who oppose us.... If you insult Allah's Apostle, Allah will slay you. You are a cursed, rude fellow! You utter filth, and then throw it at the clean-robed, godly, and faithful One.".

Tabari VIII:153 "I ask the Merciful One for a pardon and for a sword blow that makes a wide wound that shoots out foaming blood. For a deadly thrust by a thirsty sword, and a lance that pierces right through the guts and liver. People shall say, when they pass my grave, ‘Allah guided you the right way, O warrior.'".

Murder is also mainstream Islam. Muhammad was a mass murderer and an assassin. Here are but a few examples from a bloody sea of butchery:

Tabari IX:69 "Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us.".

Tabari VIII:141 "The battle cry of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah that night was: ‘Kill! Kill! Kill!'".

Bukhari:V5B59N512 "The Prophet had their men killed, their woman and children taken captive.".

Ishaq:489 "Do the bastards think that we are not their equal in fighting? We are men who think that there is no shame in killing.".

Bukhari:V4B52N270 "Allah's Messenger said, ‘Who is ready to kill Ashraf? He has said injurious things about Allah and His Apostle.' Maslama got up saying, ‘Would you like me to kill him?' The Prophet proclaimed, ‘Yes.' Maslama said, ‘Then allow me to lie so that I will be able to deceive him.' Muhammad said, ‘You may do so.'".

Ishaq:368 "Ka'b's body was left prostrate [humbled in submission]. After his fall, all of the Nadir Jews were brought low. Sword in hand we cut him down. By Muhammad's order we were sent secretly by night. Brother killing brother. We lured him to his death with guile [cunning or deviousness]. Traveling by night, bold as lions, we went into his home. We made him taste death with our deadly swords. We sought victory for the religion of the Prophet.".

Tabari VII:97/Ishaq:368 "We carried Ka'b's head and brought it to Muhammad during the night. We saluted him as he stood praying and told him that we had slain Allah's enemy. When he came out to us we cast Ashraf's head before his feet. The Prophet praised Allah that the poet had been assassinated and complimented us on the good work we had done in Allah's Cause. Our attack upon Allah's enemy cast terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in Medina who did not fear for his life.'".

Tabari VII:97 "The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.'".

Ishaq:369 "Thereupon Mas'ud leapt upon Sunayna, one of the Jewish merchants with whom his family had social and commercial relations and killed him. The Muslim's brother complained, saying, ‘Why did you kill him? You have much fat in you belly from his charity.' Mas'ud answered, ‘By Allah, had Muhammad ordered me to murder you, my brother, I would have cut off your head.' Wherein the brother said, ‘Any religion that can bring you to this is indeed wonderful!'".

Bukhari:V1B1N6 "Just issue orders to kill every Jew in the country.".

Ishaq: 676 "‘You obey a stranger who encourages you to murder for booty. You are greedy men. Is there no honor among you?' Upon hearing those lines Muhammad said, ‘Will no one rid me of this woman?' Umayr, a zealous Muslim, decided to execute the Prophet's wishes. That very night he crept into the writer's home while she lay sleeping surrounded by her young children. There was one at her breast. Umayr removed the suckling babe and then plunged his sword into the poet. The next morning in the mosque, Muhammad, who was aware of the assassination, said, ‘You have helped Allah and His Apostle.' Umayr said. ‘She had five sons; should I feel guilty?' ‘No,' the Prophet answered. ‘Killing her was as meaningless as two goats butting heads.'".

Bukhari:V1B11N626 "The Prophet said, ‘No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr. If they knew the reward they would come to (the mosque) even if they had to crawl. I decided to order a man to lead the prayer and then take a flame to burn all those who had not left their houses for the prayer, burning them alive inside their homes.'".

Tabari VIII:178/Ishaq:550 "Muhammad ordered that certain men should be assassinated even if they were found behind the curtains of the Ka'aba. Among them was Abdallah bin Sa'd [the Qur'an's first scribe]. The reason that Allah's Messenger ordered that he should be slain was because he had become a Muslim and used to write down Qur'an Revelation. Then he apostatized [rejected Islam].".

Ishaq:597 "When the Apostle returned to Medina after his raid on Ta'if, word spread that he had killed some of the men who had satirized and insulted him. The poets who were left spread in all directions.".

Ishaq:550 "The Muslims met them with their swords. They cut through many arms and skulls. Only confused cries and groans could be heard over our battle roars and snarling.".

Ishaq:316 "Following Badr, Muhammad sent a number of raiders with orders to capture some of the Meccans and burn them alive.".

Tabari VIII:96 "A raiding party led by Zayd set out against Umm in Ramadan. During it, Umm suffered a cruel death. Zayd tied her legs with rope and then tied her between two camels until they split her in two. She was a very old woman. Then they brought Umm's daughter and Abdallah to the Messenger. Umm's daughter belonged to Salamah who had captured her. Muhammad asked Salamah for her, and Salamah gave her to him.".

Kidnapping, ransom, bribery, and the slave trade are as central to Islam as is piracy. They are glorified Islamic pursuits. Muhammad set the example:

Qur'an 8:1 "They question you about (windfalls taken as) spoils of war. Say: ‘Booty is at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger; they belong to Us and are for Our benefit. So fear Allah, and adjust your way of thinking in this matter. Obey Allah and His Messenger.'".

Ishaq:510 "We ask Thee for the booty of this town and its people. Forward in the name of Allah.' He used to say this of every town he raided.".

Ishaq:327 "Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.'".

Qur'an 48:19 "He rewarded them with abundant spoils that they will capture. Allah has promised you much booty that you shall take, and He has made this easy for you.".

Qur'an 59:6 "What Allah gave as booty to His Messenger He has taken away from them [the Jews]. For this you made no raid. Allah gives His Messenger Lordship over whomsoever He wills. Whatever booty Allah has given to His Messenger and taken away from the [Jewish] people of the townships, belongs to Allah and to His Messenger.... So take what the Messenger assigns to you, and deny yourselves that which he withholds from you.".

Ishaq:327 "Allah made booty lawful and good. He used it to incite the Muslims to unity of purpose. So enjoy what you have captured.".

Tabari VII:64/Ishaq:307 "The Messenger of Allah gave orders concerning the contents of the camp which the people had collected, and it was all brought together. Among the Muslims, however, there was a difference of opinion concerning it. Those who had collected it said, ‘It is ours. Muhammad promised every man that he could keep the booty he took.' Those who were fighting said, ‘If it had not been for us, you would not have taken it. We distracted the enemy from you so that you could take what you took.' Those who were guarding the Prophet for fear the enemy would attack him said, ‘By Allah, you have no better right to it than we have. We wanted to kill the enemy when Allah gave us the opportunity and made them turn their backs, and we wanted to take property when there was no one to protect it; but we were afraid that the Meccans might attack the Prophet. We protected him so you have no better right to it than we have.' When we quarreled about the booty we became very bad tempered. So Allah removed it from us and handed it over to His Messenger.".

Bukhari:V5B59N512 "The captives of Khaybar were divided among the Muslims. Then the Messenger began taking the homes and property that were closest to him.".

Tabari VIII:116/Ishaq:511 "So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The Messenger took some of its people captive, including Safiyah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.".

Tabari VIII:130 "The Prophet conquered Khaybar by force after fighting. Khaybar was something that Allah gave as booty to His Messenger. He took one-fifth of it and divided the remainder among the Muslims.".

Bukhari V4B52N46 "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, ‘Allah guarantees that He will admit the Muslim fighter into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and booty.'".

Tabari VIII:12 "When cities were conquered Muslims used to say, ‘Conquer for yourselves whatever seems good to you because all treasures were given to Muhammad.'".

Tabari IX:3 "Since the Hawazin and Thaqif had marched with their women, children, and flocks, Allah granted them as booty to His Messenger, who divided the spoils among those Quraysh who had recently embraced Islam.".

Tabari IX:13 "Abu Talhah alone took the spoils of twenty men whom he had killed.".

Ishaq:571 "I went up to a man and struck off his hand. He fell and I killed him while he was down. But I was too occupied with fighting to pay any more attention to him. So one of the Meccan Muslims passed by and stripped him. Then when the fighting was over and we had finished with the enemy, the Apostle said that anyone who had killed a foe could have his spoil. I told the Apostle that I had killed a man who was worth stripping but had been too busy killing others at the time to notice who had spoiled him. Abu Bakr said, "To Allah's lions who fight for His religion go the spoils that come from their prey. Return the booty to the man who killed him.' The Apostle confirmed Abu Bakr's words. So I was given the property of the man whom I had killed. I sold it and bought a small palm grove with the money. It was the first property I ever owned.".

Ishaq:592 "The Apostle held a large number of captives. There were 6,000 women and children prisoners. He had captured so many sheep and camels they could not be counted.".

Ishaq:594 "‘Muhammad, divide the spoil and booty of camels and cattle among us.' They forced the Prophet up against a tree, and his robe was torn from him. Muhammad cried, ‘Give me back my robe. If there had been more sheep I would have given you some.".

Tabari IX:31 "Men, I do not have anything of your booty. Just filth. And that filth is what is being given to you.".

Ishaq:594 "The Apostle gave gifts to those whose hearts were to be won over, notably the chiefs of the army, to win them and through them the people.".

Bukhari:V4B53N373 "Allah's Apostle got property and war prisoners and gave them to some people to the exclusion of others. The latter seemed to be displeased by that. The Prophet said, ‘I give to some people, lest they should deviate from Islam. Do you hold a grudge against me and are you mentally disturbed because of the worldly things by which I conciliate a people and win them over so that they will embrace Islam and become Muslims?".

While CNN, NBC, CBS, FOX and ABC will all bring Muslims to their microphones to say that kidnapping, ransom, murder, beheadings, mutilations, hangings, terrorism, and burnings are not authorized by Islam, you know better. And our politicians will pound their chests and flap their lips, promising to find and punish the responsible parties all the while aiding and abetting the tyrants who manufacture the terrorists who kill us. It's little wonder our world is in such a mess. It's little wonder no one in the media or in our statehouses knows how to solve this problem. Ignorance comes at a high cost.

If you would like to examine 3,000 more of these passages from the Islamic Hadith and Qur'an presented chronologically and contextually, open Prophet of Doom and read it. It may save your nation and your life.

- June 20, 2004: In one of the most bizarre episodes of the Iraqi war, Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun, a Muslim American soldier from the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, was reported missing and speculated to have been abducted. Hassoun, a Marine translator of Lebanese descent, was last seen on June 19th. He was officially classified as captured by the Pentagon on June 29. A videotape broadcast on the Islamic network Al-Jazeera showed a blindfolded and shackled man identified as Wassef Hassoun as the captive of armed men from the Islamic Retaliation Movement/Armed Resistance Wing who threatened to behead him unless U.S. military authorities released all Iraqi prisoners. The masked man standing behind Cpl. Hassoun was holding a sword. The "IRM/ARW" claimed to "have taken Ali captive after infiltrating a U.S. military base in Iraq."

It was all a hoax. On July 8th, Hassoun contacted U.S. officials in Lebanon and was transported to the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The Pentagon then announced that his status was changed from captured to "returned to military control." A U.S. Marine probe concluded Hassoun had abandoned his post. He was charged with desertion in December 2004, and once again in January 2005 after he failed to report back to base. He has since been declared a fugitive.

On January 15, 2005 a mug shot of Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun was posted on a Navy criminal justice website which claims the missing corporal now uses the alias "Jafar." His current status list puts him among a select group of fugitives, some of whom are being hunted on allegations of terrorism, murder, conspiracy to commit murder, indecent assault and rape.

Wassef Hassoun was born in Lebanon and attended the American University in Beirut. In America, he attended the Al-Noor Mosque in Salt Lake City.

The American military didn't handle the Hassoun affair well. The New York Times quoted an unnamed Marine officer as saying Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun, a linguist originally from Lebanon, was traumatized by seeing his sergeant blown apart by a shell. The officer said Hassoun may have been betrayed by Iraqis he met at his base, who promised to help him desert but instead turned Hassoun over to kidnappers. Hassoun had previously told a cousin that he heard several GIs had bribed Iraqis to help them flee the country. It was based upon this line of thought that the Marines initially listed Hassoun as "missing," and then "captured" as opposed to a "deserter."

A statement by the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force said: "The circumstances surrounding the Marine's absence initially indicated that he was missing, however, in light of what we have observed on the terrorists' video, we have classified him as captured." At the time, Hassoun's older brother, Muhammad, also a Muslim residing in Salt Lake City, knew it was a hoax. He told reporters: "To me, their reports have no foundation. They are all wrong."

- June 22, 2004: Patrick McCaffrey, age 34, of Tracy, California was killed in an ambush in Balad, Iraq today. His mother, Nadia McCaffrey, is listed on a press release that is dated three weeks hence. Her statement became part of the 2003 terrorist review because many of the parents whose names were listed had son's killed needlessly that year. A coalition of 1,500 families with scars from Iraq united under Military Families Speak Out. They exposed George Bush as a liar and the war in Iraq as unjustifiable.

- June 22, 2004: Fundamental Islam encourages the beheading of non-Muslims. In Iraq today, a Korean citizen, Kim Sun-Il, was beheaded by Islamic jihadists associated with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

At www.ProphetOfDoom.net, next to Kim Sun-Il's picture, we wrote: This young man - a Korean Christian missionary - pleaded repeatedly for mercy. His words were laden with emotion. Yet the three hooded Muslims standing behind him show no signs of humanity. Armed with guns, a sword, and Allah's Qur'anic recital, they were corrupted beyond hope so Islam claimed yet another innocent life.

The Islamic camera operator stopped the video long enough for his fellow Muslims to gag Kim, allowing the terrorists to justify their sadistic barbarism. To do so, they read from the Qur'an. Their leader confessed that he was a Muslim following Muhammad and serving Allah. He admitted that he was perpetrating his savagery in the name of Islam.

The video they posted online clearly presents the problem of this savage religion. It vividly documents what Islam has caused men to do. If you want to understand the mindset and motivations of the terrorists it is essential viewing. For those who don't wish to confront Islam so head-on, here is my best attempt to describe it:

The Kim beheading is among the most gruesome things I've ever seen. Over a period of several minutes, this young man - a Korean Christian missionary - pleaded for mercy. "I want to live," he cried out repeatedly. His words were piercing. Yet the three hooded Muslims standing behind him show no mercy. Armed with guns and a sword they stood before a banner emblazoned with Qur'anic quotes.

In the midst of the drama, the Islamic camera operator stopped the video long enough for his fellow Muslims to gag Kim. His screams for mercy were drowning out their justifications for murder. The Muslims proceeded to say that they were serving Allah and committing this act in name of Islam. After denouncing Americans and Jews, one of the Muslims pulled out a sword. Two other hooded men forced Kim onto his face. They put their feet against his back. The sword wielding Muslim then proceeded to slice off Kim's head. Collectively, the Muslims all shouted out with glee. It was if they were demonically possessed.

After being severed, Kim's head was held in the air by his hair. Great quantities of blood continued to spurt out from his neck and his mutilated body was now drenched.

And as gruesome as that was, what followed was the most inhuman and ungodly crescendo I've ever witnessed. One of the Muslims started chanting "Allah Akbar! - Allah is the Greatest." Then the man holding Kim's head returned the confession - "Allahu Akbar!" he shouted. Swinging Kim's decapitated head before them. They shouted the Islamic Prayer of Fear in unison. It was Devil worship to be sure. "Allahu Akbar!" they chanted another 14 times. This was followed by another Islamic prayer, this one in the mournful singing voice that is used in Islamic minarets.

The Buddhists do not have an Allah. The Catholics and Protestants don't have an Allah either. Communists and Fascists don't commit crimes claiming "Allah is the Greatest." There is but one Allah. He belongs to Islam. Muhammad created him in his own image - that is to say Allah and Muhammad are one, as perverse, sadistic, immoral, deceitful, destructive, and demonic as the men who cut off Kim's head. They were all good Muslims, serving Satan and following Muhammad's example. If this conclusion is shocking to you, I invite you to read Prophet of Doom - Islam's Terrorist Dogma in Muhammad's Own Words.

Shortly after posting this article on the beheading of Kim Sun-Il, we discovered this headline on a South Korean news site: "Muslim Community Hopes Killing Doesn't Affect Perception of Islam." Since there is but one Islam, there can only be one perception of it; a singular correct view of Muhammad, his religion, and his god. Since Islam has but one prophet and one god, it is the one found in the Qur'an and Hadith. Upon reading it, most rational men and women will conclude that Muhammad was a pirate, not a prophet, and that a god who is principally vengeful, forgetful, demonic, contradictory, and irrational might not be a god after all. It is the only rational conclusion that can be drawn from the evidence. Islam condemns Islam sufficiently to persuade even the most ardent skeptic. False perceptions notwithstanding.

- August 1, 2004: In one of the most laughable and embarrassing acts in America's mythical war on terror, the mayors and governors of New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., hand in hand with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and administration officials stood in front of television cameras to tell Americans that their cities were under the threat of imminent attack. The financial district of New York was cordoned off as was the U.S. Capitol. The International Monetary Fund, World Bank, New York Stock Exchange, and Citigroup were said to be the prime targets. What these politicos didn't reveal was that the intelligence information that they were using was two to three years old.

- August 19, 2004: In Iraq, the man responsible for the murder and mutilation of four Americans in Fallujah remained free because American soldiers were forbidden to enter or attack the enemy's command centers - their mosques. Therefore, the salafi/fundamentalist Iranian trained, Shi'ite Islamic cleric Al Sadr remained a fugitive from justice fortified inside the Imam Ali Mosque in Najaf.

With the brutal killings, desecrations, and inhuman celebrations fresh in their minds, Americans sought justice so the U.S. military, under orders from the pro-Islamic Bush administration justified their inaction by saying that they could not drive him out because of the religious sensitivity of the site.

They were lying, and they were stalling for time. Not only would the religious site be destroyed, by Muslims under the direction of Teheran, not Americans, the U.S. was negotiating a pardon for Al Sadr and his militants. On August 27th the U.S. announced that Shi'ite militants and their religious leadership had agreed to peace. Not knowing anything about Islam, the Bush Administration believed them and immorally absolved the murderers of responsibility. As a result, Shi'ite militias terrorize and murder hundreds of Iraqis each day.

As part of this ignorant and immoral plan, the highest-ranking Iraqi Muslim, the Iranian backed and trained Ayatollah Al-Sistani, returned to Iraq from London. He immediately announced that it was his intent to create an Islamic republic in Iraq. With American help he has achieved his goal.

- August 30, 2004: Twelve Nepalese Hostages were kidnapped and murdered by Islam in Iraq. Eleven of the twelve men were lined up on the ground and executed by shots to their backs and heads from assault rifles. The twelfth was beheaded with a knife while he struggled against his captors. In the background a banner was hung displaying an array of Qur'anic quotes.

The Muslim murderers said: "We have carried out the sentence of Allah against 12 Nepalis who came from their country to fight the Muslims and to serve the Jews and the Christians. They believed in Buddha as their God."

Not that it changes anything, but the confession of the Mujahideen of Ansar al-Sunnah (Holy Warriors who Advance the Prophet's Example), was errant. The Nepalese men were employed by the Jordanians, not Christians or Jews. They were cooks and cleaners and had no guns, so they were not fighters. They were not in any way associated with the coalition forces or the United States.

- September 7, 2004: In a failed campaign born of lies and fueled by political ego, the 1,000th American soldier was sacrificed for naught in Iraq. Casualties including disfiguring third degree burns, the loss of limbs, and debilitating gunshot wounds destroyed another 10,000 American lives and families.

- September 12, 2004: In Iraq, Muslim militants killed 50 people in Baghdad. The Tawhid and Jihad group, headed by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, posted a statement on his website claiming responsibility for one of the car bombings.

- September 14, 2004: Muslim militants launched two deadly assaults against Iraqi police targets killing 47 people in a car bombing of a police recruit line in Baghdad and 12 more police officers in a drive by shooting in Baquba. Islamic terrorist groups calling themselves "Unification" and "Jihad" claimed responsibility on Muslim websites. 114 Iraqis were wounded in the bombings.

The Baghdad bombing took place on Haifa Street, a dangerous stretch through central Baghdad dotted with markets and coffee shops. The neighborhood had been plagued by fighting between U.S. troops and insurgents, earning a nickname: "Little Fallujah."

The carnage along the stretch sparked anger at the United States for poor security. Upset crowds sifted through debris and cursed Americans. One man cursed President Bush. Another cursed Americans, saying "it's an American-Israeli conspiracy." Muslims were killing Muslims and it was the fault of the Christians and Jews. No one ever said Muslims were smart.

In Baquba, video outside the Karkh police administrative and recruitment center showed the smoldering wreckage of seven or eight cars. The same police station had come under mortar attack a couple of hours earlier. Of the four mortars fired toward the building, two landed in the courtyard behind it, one landed near the front gate and a fourth did not explode. Then two hours later, gunmen attacked a police minibus in a drive-by shooting, killing 12 officers and wounding three civilians. Rahman said the minibus was filled with 18 police officers.

- September 14, 2004: Unable to stem the violence, the United States announced that it would transfer more than $3,000,000,000.00 earmarked for Iraqi reconstruction to improve security the State Department revealed. It would become the most expensive and underperforming item in the war.

In a rather foul exchange, the United States said that reduce spending on water and sewage projects by $1.9 billion and electricity by $1 billion. According to the State Department, "very few Iraqis have access to portable water and most receive electricity for only about half the day."

In October 2003, Congress appropriated $87 billion to help fund the war in Iraq - $18.7 billion of which was set aside for reconstruction. About $4.1 billion of that was allocated for sewage, water and electricity projects. The State Department said about $650 million of that $4.1 billion had already been spent. Other U.S. officials have said most of the funding earmarked for reconstruction was not being spent because poor security was preventing projects from being completed.

- September 14, 2004: Maj. General Pete Chiarelli, commander of the Army's 1st Cavalry Division, said the helicopter gunship attack that killed several people surrounding the wreckage of a U.S. armored vehicle blown up by a car bomb Sunday was justified and that the helicopter's pilots were coming under fire at the time. The crippled Bradley fighting vehicle was surrounded by terrorists and looters, Chiarelli said, who were threatening to steal sensitive communications equipment inside the vehicle and were attacking U.S. troops.

More than a dozen people were killed in the rocket attack, including a producer for the Arabic-language news network Al-Arabiya, whose death was captured on videotape. Witnesses on the ground said there was no gunfire coming from the crowd that was surrounding the flaming vehicle, which had been crippled by a car bomb earlier in the day. But Chiarelli said his troops and helicopter pilots were under a great deal of gunfire.

"The radio communications from our folks in the air was that there was small-arms fire - heavy small-arms fire, very well-aimed small-arms fire," Chiarelli said during a briefing on the incident. Someone was lying and I'd bet it was the Muslims who had blown up the vehicle in the first place.

- September 12, 2004: In a rising tide of death and destruction in Iraq, another 90 people were murdered by their religion bringing the known death toll in Baghdad over the past 3 days to 150.

- October 24, 2004: The bodies of 49 Iraqi army recruits were found massacred near the Iranian border. They had been ambushed and then murdered. A website used by Muslim militants posted a statement claiming credit for killing the 49 recruits who were not armed.

"This was an execution. We found the dead lying face down by the roadside with a single bullet wound to the head," Iraqi National Guard commander Ali al-Kaaki was quoted saying. Local police said that they all had their hands crossed behind their heads. Interior Ministry spokesman Adnan Abdul Rahman said 37 bodies were found shot dead on the side of the road, while the bodies of 12 others were found in a burned bus.

They were traveling in three minibuses, in civilian clothes, and according to reports, they were stopped at a fake checkpoint. It was then that Muslim militants fired rocket-propelled grenades at the vehicles. "They were ambushed by a large, well-organized force with good intelligence," a senior security official explained. "There was probably collusion among some of the recruits and militant groups," Diyala province deputy Governor Aqil Hamid al-Adili told al-Arabiya television. "Otherwise, the gunmen would not have gotten the information about the soldiers' departure from their training camp and that they were unarmed," he added.

Yes, it is true. America has been training and arming a large Islamic army - 250,000 Muslims strong. Their equipment is Uncle Sam's best - Abrams tanks Bradley fighting vehicles, and armored personnel carriers - all emblazed with Satan's ultimate desire: Allahu Akbar.

- October 24, 2004: 20 Iraqi policemen were killed and 47 were wounded in two separate suicide car bombing attacks.

- October 24, 2004: A Bulgarian soldier was killed and three others were wounded in a car bomb attack in the southern city of Karbala.

- October 24, 2004: Iraqi police found the headless body of a man wearing a business suit in the river Tigris, near the northern city of Kirkuk

- October 24, 2004: U.S. planes bombed suspected guerrilla positions in Fallujah, Iraq, killing six people. Witnesses said the dead were all civilians. In the process, especially by the time the news was replayed on televisions throughout the Muslim world, America had manufactured a hundred new terrorists for every one they had killed.

- November 9, 2004: The Pentagon reported today that 10 U.S. troops had been killed in street-to-street urban warfare in Fallujah, Iraq. Lt. General Thomas Metz told reporters, "So far we have achieved our objectives ahead or schedule and the coalition casualties have been light." Success has been redefined. Things are better now that 14 Americans have lost their lives in Fallujah rather than 4, especially after pardoning the murderers, because the nation can dispense with trying the religious clerics responsible for the original crimes.

Allah was able to harvest a few martyrs. Iraqi casualties were said to number 80 or so. They died while local mosques serenaded them with a lively musical rendition of Allahu Akbar. While some Muslim militants remained to collect jihad bonus points, heeding the imams call to arms, most of the terrorists simply left town to kill elsewhere on another day. The U.S. had estimated that 5,000 "insurgents" had previously been in the city so the American war machine diminished Allah's local mujahideen by a whopping two percent. How that is worth the ultimate sacrifice of 10 Americans is beyond me. And let us not forget, the U.S. taxpayer is now burdened with the cost of rebuilding the parts of the city which were destroyed during the battle.

There was one bit of interesting news regarding the American misadventure in Fallujah. General Metz said: "the Iraqi forces have acquitted themselves well. They have been tasked with searching some of the city's 77 mosques where they have found lots of munitions and weapons." If the mosques weren't supporting the fight against the Americans why would the weapons the militants were using be stored there? Why would a religious institution need munitions and weapons? Could it be as simple as the enemy = islam and islam = fighting?

- November 9, 2004: Charles Duelfer, the CIA's point man on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, said that he narrowly escaped death today when his convoy was attacked by "insurgents" on the road from Baghdad to the city's main airport. Two of his security guards were killed when the convoy of cars was fired on after Muslims blocked the road with a burning vehicle. "Where do all these kids who want to blow themselves up come from?" the central "intelligence" agency point man asked. The mosque, dummy.

- November 9, 2004: Good Muslims attacked two police stations near Baquba, about 30 miles north of Baghdad, killing four people. Another 15 people died in separate terrorist incidents in Baghdad on this day. In northern Iraq, at least three people died and several others were wounded in a suicide car bomb attack targeting an Iraqi national guard base north of Kirkuk. It was just another day in the land Muhammad had corrupted.

Incidentally, if I had the time and patience to be more diligent and comprehensive, I would be listing ten or more Islamic terrorist attacks each and every day. And that wouldn't even be the half of it. Most Islamic terrorism goes unreported because most Muslims kill in countries where free speech and a free press are illegal. For example, for Muslim militants in the Sudan to murder 2.7 million Africans over the past 20 years they had to obliterate 370 innocent civilians a day - every day. If they worked a 12 hour day that is 30 souls an hour. The cost of tolerating Islam is beyond comprehension. It is the least compassionate and enlightened thing we do.

- November 17, 2004: Muslims in Iraq cared so little for those trying to care for them they murdered Margaret Hassan, the Director of CARE International in Iraq. She had been kidnapped on October 19th and was confirmed dead when jihadists released a video of her murder. According to the Al-Jazeera tape, a masked militant shot the blindfolded woman in the head using a handgun. Hassan had been responsible for helping to rebuild Baghdad's hospital.

Margaret Hassan had appeared in two videos aired by Al-Jazeera in October, pleading for her life. In one, on October 27, she urged Britons to pressure Prime Minister Tony Blair to withdraw troops from the country. Hassan also called for the release of all female prisoners in Iraq and urged CARE's board of directors to end operations in Iraq, an action they already had taken. Hassan's actual pleas are not heard in the tape, but an anchor for Al-Jazeera described the contents of her message. Five days earlier, a videotape of Hassan in her own voice showed her tearfully urging Blair to pull troops from Iraq.

Muslims are as likely to kill Muslims as they are Christians and Jews, civilians as they are soldiers, women as they are men, their friends as they are their foes. Islam is an equal opportunity killing machine.

CARE pulled its staff out of Iraq the day after Margaret was abducted saying that it was too dangerous to work there. The Islamic terrorist group, the Base of Jihad, issued statements immediately after kidnapping Mrs. Hassan that they would kill her unless Great Britain pulled its troops out of Iraq within 48 hours. Margaret held dual citizenship in Iraq and the U.K. At the time of Margaret's murder the U.K. had reduced its troop strength in Iraq from 46,000 to just 8,500.

The Base of Jihad had been responsible for beheading many foreigners in Iraq including Americans Eugene Armstrong, Nicholas Berg, and Jack Hensley and Briton Kenneth Bigley. They also decapitated a Japanese hostage.

- December 15, 2004: An Islamic suicide bomber killed seven Muslims near Karbala's Imam Hussein Mosque.

- December 19, 2004: Suicide car bombers in Karbala and Najaf, Iraq murdered 67 Muslims. In a particularly sink act, the Najaf suicide bomber plowed his car into a funeral procession, exploding himself just a few yards from the Imam Ali shrine. On his way to hell this Muslim killed 51 people and severely wounded 92 more. The perpetrator was arrested with tweezers, pulling pieces of his remains from sidewalks and buildings. The Karbala blast wounded 37 in addition to the 16 Muslims the Muslim killed.

- December 19, 2004: In Baghdad, a Muslim militant fired upon a vehicle containing an election worker and two bodyguards, killing all three people inside. A fourth person was murdered in a separate shooting. The previous day, another Muslim had shot four mortar rounds into a voter registration site in northern Baghdad, killing one and wounding 8.

- December 19, 2004: Muslims fired four mortars into a youth center in Dujay, a small Iraqi town between Tikrit and Samarra. Another gang of Islamic jihadists detonated a roadside bomb at a university bus station in Mosul, wounding two students. The day before a similar device blew up an school bus and killed another Islamic student, wounding 6 more. The bomber complained that his timing was off and that he meant to kill American forces.

- December 19, 2004: Busy today in Baghdad, Islamic jihadists kidnapped 10 Iraqi employees for the Washington-based Saudi Group, a security company. The Muslim kidnappers later released videotape of their hostages kneeling before them as they gloated in their black ski masks. The Muslims said that they would murder their hostages unless the Saudi Group left Iraq.
