The Islamist way of war

Anything goes in Islamism. Islamism has no honour, no decency and no morality, and is as depraved as any idea that humanity has ever followed.

• The New Arab Way of War by Peter Layton - The Islamist way of war consists of almost nothing but war crimes against civilians. This is why I find Judaism to be morally superior to Islam. Intellectually, I agree, there is little difference between them. Both believe in a supernatural world, supernatural beings, and other fictions. But morally, Judaism opposes the killing of innocent civilians in war, and so is morally superior to Islam.

• Victor Davis Hanson on how Islamist warfare tries to profit from western decency: "There is a reason, after all, why Zarqawi's killers are in Fallujah and not out in tents in the deserts of Iraq, and why his arms caches and depots are in mosques and his machine-gunners in minarets."
• Sanctuary - Bill Whittle on the shameful, dishonourable Islamist way of war.
• Let me count the ways - Norman Geras on the Islamist way of war.
• The Iraqi and Afghan resistance force women, children, and even hospital patients to be involuntary human shields (also here). They only do this because they know the U.S. troops are more decent than the jihadis are. Jihadi troops would simply kill the human shields. The same goes on in Palestine, and anywhere else where the jihadi scum fight. Islamism has no honour and no morality, and is proud of it.
• Account of the jihadis in Guantanamo by a U.S. Army male nurse who worked with them, explains how Islamism has no honour and no morality. Like the Nazis, they have contempt for "soft" western democrats' ethics in warfare. They think they will win because: "They believe they are more committed to victory at any cost because it is all in God's name and is the Will of God. They point to our efforts at minimizing both our own casualties and those of civilians. You never see them worry about collateral damage and destroying infrastructure. They see our compassion as weakness and our integrity as blindness to reality."

• Israel tries to hit military targets.
  • The Palestinians try to kill civilians.
  • The Palestinians try to kill children.
  • The Palestinians use their own children in war

Classics of the Islamist way of war:

1. Palestinian woman tries to suicide bomb the Israeli doctors and nurses who are kindly treating her over several months for burns from a bad accident. She received compassionate permission to enter Israel for hospital appointments, and responded by trying to kill them.

2. A father and mother plan to use their own baby to blow up an airplane, 2006. The first comment is right on the button: "I hope they take this kid away from those two monsters."
3. The Jew-hating terrorist state of Syria attempted something similar in 1986: The Hindawi Affair.
4. Hamas use press vehicles.
5. Muslims slaughter other Muslims during Ramadan. To the Sunni Iraqi "resistance", the Shia are the "wrong sort" of Muslim.
6. Taliban use 6-year old boy as suicide bomber.
7. Palestinians boast about attacks on children, Sept 2007. They are not ashamed. They are proud of their depravity.

8. The Iraqi resistance: "In another case, a retarded 13-year-old girl was strapped with explosives, given the hand of a 3-year-old toddler to hold, and told to walk into a line of police recruits. They pressed the button when the girls were amid the waiting men."
9. The Iraqi resistance: "The soldiers told me of a suicide bombing that betided their post the day before the elections. In a particularly gruesome display of insurgent character, the bomber had grabbed the hand of a girl, about five, and used her for cover to approach the IPs. The explosion occurred just yards away from the roof where I stood with the soldiers. Eight people and that little girl were killed that day. Unlike in Baquba where such attacks are common, attacks are relatively rare in this part of Iraq. Perhaps because of that, or maybe just because of the callous way the bomber eviscerated an innocent child, the incident seemed to leave a deep imprint on the soldiers who witnessed it."
10. Bombs strapped to Down's Syndrome child who is told to approach a line of voters in the Iraqi election, Jan 2005, where the child is blown up. And here: "Children afflicted with Down’s Syndrome are perhaps the most kind, gentle and innocent beings on this earth. That "militants" should use them for such a purpose should come as no surprise."
11. Trying to get children killed: "Did you know? Muslim terrorists in Iraq would travel from village to village and distribute wooden replicas of the AK-47 machine gun to Iraqi children. Why? They hoped the children would play with the guns in the late evenings, and American soldiers on patrol would mistake them for terrorists, and kill them."

12. Suicide bomb attack on children's playground, Tuz, Iraq, Oct 2007. Oh the bravery of the Mujahideen!
    • Tom Clancy's novel Executive Orders (1996) features an Islamist attack on an American playschool. Clancy, as opposed to most of Hollywood, must actually read the news. If only Hollywood made films so realistic instead of the ludicrous plots they normally come up with.

13. 2007 Karachi suicide bomb that killed 140 was strapped to a 1 year old child to get past security. Just before the explosion, it was noticed that: "They were trying to hoist the child - dressed in the colours of my party's flag - onto my truck ... witnesses said the child had been rigged as a human bomb. ... What followed was a massive explosion, killing scores immediately, tearing many bodies in half and sending blood, gore and flames up into the vehicle". Comment: "They were planning that she would allow a baby to come near. They were counting on her humanity, when they themselves have none."
14. Baghlan sugar factory bombing, Afghanistan, November 2007. Islamist jihadis suicide bomb a line of schoolchildren. 59 children aged from 8 to 18 killed. Many more children horribly injured.

Cox and Forkum sum up the shameful, dishonourable Islamist way of war.

Beslan, Russia, Sept 2004

Islamism is the modern Nazism and anyone who supports it is a Nazi. And anyone who opposes war against Islamism is no different morally from those that were neutral in World War Two.

"His heart did not fail him when they were torturing children"
- Rita Sidakova, mother of murdered 9 year old Alla Sidakova,
on the handsome young Islamist butcher of children, 24 year old Nur-Pashi Kulayev.

• When The Killers Come For The Kids by Ralph Peters
  • "Slaughtering the innocents violates a universal human taboo. Or a nearly universal one. Those Muslims who preach Jihad against the West decided years ago that killing Jewish or Christian children is .. acceptable"
  • Russia should join the War on Islamist Terror, and stop obstructing it: "the Kremlin will have learned to rue the day it imagined that there was anything to gain by opposing American efforts against terrorists"
  • And so should Europe: "all Europeans with a vestige of sense will recognize that the school seizure in Russia could easily repeat itself in Languedoc or Umbria, Bavaria or Kent."

• The martyr Yanis Kanidis, died protecting children from Islamist evil.
• Beslan was so horrific that there was actually some soul-searching in the Arab and Islamic world - which almost never engages in any self-criticism.
  • Also here and here and here.
  • But see some scepticism here and here and here.
  • Arab and Muslim Reactions to the Terrorist Attack in Beslan, Russia

• Islamism is the enemy:
  • No other word for it but slaughter - Mark Steyn on the inability of the media to describe who killed the children. The media call them "guerillas", "Chechen separatists", "hostage-takers", "insurgents". Islamists is the word they are looking for. Islamism explains the unbelievable cruelty of the killers. How can we possibly win this war if we cannot even name the enemy?

• Islamists have of course been shooting, setting on fire, and cutting the throats of babies, toddlers and children all over the world for decades. The Palestinians carried out a similar slaughter of children at a school in Maalot, Israel, in 1974.

These children were actually kept hostage by the Islamist savages, and were starved, raped and tortured, denied food and water in roasting hot conditions, with hundreds of others. It was like something from a Nazi concentration camp, with naked, frightened children being herded back and forth by heartless guards. Over 150 innocent children were tortured and killed, and hundreds of other children tortured and horribly injured, in one operation by the Chechen and foreign Islamists - in their heroic campaign to establish an Islamic fundamentalist fascist tyranny. The school in Beslan was a glimpse of the future - of the Auschwitz that Islamists will set up for infidels if they ever get the chance.

In total in Beslan, over 300 innocent men, women and children were tortured and killed by the Islamist savages - the worst terrorist killing since 9/11 - which was also carried out by Islamist savages.

• Shamil Basayev, the Butcher of Beslan, is dead, July 2006. See details and background.
  • This comment sums up how I feel: "That is good news. BTW, IMHO, until they started bombing Moscow subways, apartment buildings, rock concerts and killing school children, of all the Muslims with "grievances", the Chechens had perhaps the most legitimate. The Russians really were pretty savage with them. But it is hard to be sympathetic with people who got so tight with al Qaeda."
  • Russia is not America. Russia is not part of the free world. Chechens fighting for democracy against Russia I can support.
  • But Basayev was not fighting for democracy. He was fighting for jihad, for the extermination of infidels and the oppression of Chechens under Islamic rule. He was fighting to enslave Chechnya, and every Chechen must be glad that he is dead.

Islamist terror attacks

New York, Sept 2001

• New York, Sept 2001 - 3000 innocents butchered by the evil of Islamism.
• America responds by invading Afghanistan and Iraq and declaring global war against the jihad.
• It will take decades, but an American led coalition of the free countries will destroy Islamism, and send it to join Nazism and Communism in the grave.

Bali, Oct 2002

• Bali, Oct 2002 (also here) - 200 innocents (including 90 Australians) butchered by the evil of Islamism.
• But, unlike Spain, Australia does not surrender. It stands strong with the West.

• Evil exists in this world:
  • Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, the smiling face of evil, the killer of 200 innocents in Bali. Evil exists in this world, but it is not as people like bin Nurhasyim think. He thinks he is good and his victims are evil. But he is wrong. His victims are good. He is evil.

• 2005 Bali bombings
  • Islamist way or no way - Mark Steyn on the 2005 Bali bombing. He mocks peaceniks with signs saying "coexist" - as if the Islamists don't want to kill them too. They are all infidels. "You don't have to have a team or even be aware that you belong to any side. You can be a hippie-dippy hey-man-I-love-everybody-whatever-your-bag-is-cool backpacking Dutch stoner, and they'll blow you up with as much enthusiasm as if you were Dick Cheney."
  • Protesters try to storm Bali jail after the second Bali bombings. "In sharp contrast to the aftermath of the 2002 attacks, the predominantly Hindu population of Bali has been spurred into action by this latest bombing." They are demanding the execution of the 2002 bombers: "Kill Amrozi, kill Amrozi!"

Madrid, Mar 2004

• Madrid, Mar 2004 - 200 innocents butchered by the evil of Islamism.
• And the Spanish people immediately surrendered and did what Al-Qaida wanted. Total victory for Al-Qaida.

Beslan, Sept 2004

• Beslan, Sept 2004 - Over 300 innocents butchered by the evil of Islamism, including over 150 utterly innocent children.
• In contrast to Spain and Australia, Russia was not an opponent of Islamism when it was hit. Russia has been a leading member of the "Axis of Weasels" opposing America. Russia has been obstructing the War on Terror, and helping to arm our Islamist enemies such as Iran.
• Sadly, Beslan has not changed this. Anti-American and anti-western attitudes are too deeply ingrained in Russia for it to ever stop its obstruction and join the War on Islamism.

London, July 2005

• London, July 2005 - Over 50 innocents butchered by the evil of Islamism.
• Unlike Spain, Britain will not break. This killing will achieve nothing.
