This is not an example of “extremism.” Islam mandates death for blasphemy. Death is prescribed for those who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders of people who have insulted him.
These include Abu Afak, who was over one hundred years old, and the poetess Asma bint Marwan. Abu Afak was killed in his sleep, in response to Muhammad’s question, “Who will avenge me on this scoundrel?” Similarly, Muhammad on another occasion cried out, “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” One of his followers, Umayr ibn Adi, went to her house that night, where he found her sleeping next to her children. The youngest, a nursing babe, was in her arms. But that didn’t stop Umayr from murdering her and the baby as well. Muhammad commended him: “You have done a great service to Allah and His Messenger, Umayr!” (Ibn Ishaq, 674-676)
Then there was Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf. Muhammad asked: “Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?” One of the Muslims, Muhammad bin Maslama answered, “O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?” When Muhammad said that he would, Muhammad bin Maslama said, “Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab).” Muhammad responded: “You may say it.” Muhammad bin Maslama duly lied to Ka’b, luring him into his trap, and murdered him. (Sahih Bukhari, volume 5, book 59, number 369)
“Mohammed Tano: Extremists kill Syrian teenager over ‘blasphemous’ texts on phone,” by Hannah Lucinda Smith, The Times, April 27 2020:
A teenager has been killed by an extremist militia in Syria after being found guilty of blasphemy.
Mohammed Tano, 19, was arrested by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the successor to al-Qaeda in Syria, in December as he entered Idlib province, the group’s stronghold, from Turkey. HTS said it found “blasphemous” messages on his mobile phone: a crime punishable by death under its strict interpretation of Sharia. However, local activists and Mr Tano’s relatives said the material was actually critical of Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, the militia’s leader.
Mr Tano’s family was ordered to collect his body from Idlib’s central prison after he was killed by HTS last week….
mortimer says
The prohibition of ‘mentioning’ something ‘impermissible’ is open to a very SUBJECTIVE interpretation, thus making Sharia the resource for VIGILANTES.
Indeed, Sharia leaves the door open intentionally for vigilante killers to murder blasphemers. No fatwa or warrant from an Islamic judge is required. There is no punishment for killing a blasphemer in Sharia law.
Islam has provisions in it that make it compatible with lawless thuggery, but that is the way Mohammed’s gang of highwaymen wanted it. It was law by the decree of Mohammed, and it depended on the inconsistent mood swings of Mohammed whether Mohammed decided to kill or forgive. The hadiths show that Mohammed’s whims changed often.
What a volatile, whimsical and unpredictable religion. Islam is a ride on the wild mouse.
CogitoErgoSum says
The worst part of it is that a person does not even have to belong to the religion to suffer the consequences of breaking one of its rules.
Wellington says
Quite true, CES, and dispositive of what I have long contended, i.e., only Islam among the major religions of the world not only permits but requires its deluded followers (all adherents to the Islamic faith are deluded, only the degree to which functioning as a variable) to use all kinds of force, even to the point of death, to squelch any advancement of Islam or even any criticism of Islam.
Islam is pathetic to its very warped and collective soul. I see no way to come to any other rational and informed conclusion. Wish the world at large would. Way overdue.
May the Islamic deity strike me dead tonight if I made an error in this communication—not by any of Allah’s foolish adherents; no, by Allah himself.
See you soon, CES. Guaranteed.
Allah my butt. There is no Allah. This is the long and short of it.
CogitoErgoSum says
Wellington, you are right. Islam is pathetic but it is also dangerous. This news article about the Islamic penalty for blasphemy proves that. We are extremely fortunate to live in a country that keeps the most fervent Muslims away from our throats. Stay well, my friend.
Maureen Chaloner says
Allah does nor exist and Mohammed was a lying psychopath.Thats the truth!

Grimly true, Mortimer, CogitoErgoSum, and Wellington.
Dude says
The impotent god cannot refute the minds’ doubts. Neither can its followers. Why – because it’s totally illogical nonsense. Anyone with half a brain will walk away from it.
They try to ridicule other religious schools, but we don’t kill them. We can see that God takes care of them Himself by banishing them from His presence. We simply walk away from barking mad dogs.
CogitoErgoSum says
The problem with walking away from Islam is that’s it’s another one of the things for which you can be killed. They can even kill a person for refusing to become a Muslim.
gravenimage says
True, CogitoErgoSum. The penalty for apostasy is death.
PRCS says
Though it is THEIR belief, a component of THEIR ‘complete way of life’ which THEY can ‘get away with’ where Islamic law reigns, THEY cannot–yet–do so here: though THEY do keep trying.
The Islamic ‘call to prayer’ in Minneapolis, which though ‘intended’ (cough) to last only through the end of Rmadamadingdong as but one example.
Check what happens in the days just before the end of that ‘holy’ period ends–when they press for its permanence.
YYCAlberta says
Talk. Talk. Talk. Is that all we can do on this forum?
We complain to high heaven about all the ills of Islam, but I never see a plan of action to stop this insidious cancer our world is suffering through.
There are some great posts on Jihad Watch, but it’s the same thing over and over again.
There must be something we can do to slow down this tidal wave. Europe might be a write-off, but North American can surely be saved.
Wellington says
Very well, what is your plan of action?
I would at least note this as well, i.e., that more and more people in the West have a negative view of Islam with each passing year. Even many Muslims, I do believe, see that they have been had.
Is this enough? No, but I am encouraged that it highly likely that Islam seen in the negative will only wax and not wane. Never has Mo’s creed been exposed to such monumental scrutiny by so many. Thus, I remain cautiously optimistic that popular opinion in the West against Islam will eventually reach a state that even the still largely clueless elites in the media, academia and the political realm will not be able to ignore.
Remember, there was a time when fascism looked like the wave of the future in the West and this was followed by Communism seen as inevitably taking over the West and all the world. These two decrepit ideologies did not pan out, now did they? Then why Islam? Simply because it has lasted longer? No, I say this is not enough to conclude that Islam will prevail.
The best weapon against Islam is Islam itself. The more it reveals what it is about (and it will—it can’t help itself), the sooner the possibility it will be consigned to the trash heap of history, where it most surely and deservedly belongs.
Maureen Chaloner says
I agree.
Claudius says
I agree. Islam has never looked weaker than today. From the defeat of ISIS it has been downhill all the way. Notice how the Hindu RSS made mincemeat of the Muslim rioters in India. After the Buddhist monks made mincemeat of the Rohingya in Myanmar. Trump closed his border and the Chinese are smiling while they “re-educate” the Muslim Uyghurs. With the Internet every little transgression of Muslims is broadcast to the whole planet, and the Kuffar use Whatsapp and Facebook to target the Ummah. Islam has never faced an enemy that is united and forewarned about the consequences of surrender. I don’t mean the elites – I mean the people in the streets of New Delhi, Xinjiang, Myanmar and London.

Well, yes–except that hordes of military-aged Muslims are being allowed to flood into the West.

YYCAlberta says
We have to take apart MB’s Project one line at a time. That’s their plan to take over the planet. We have to counter every one of their initiatives.
Letter writing campaigns to influential people; Prompting our church leaders to publicly denounce Christian slaughter around the world; Call out the politically correct crap we see and hear; and expose Islam for what it is: A False Religion. Islam is diametrically opposed to Christianity. Both cannot be true.
I wonder whether a lot of people fear drawing attention to themselves. Will a pack of Muslims show up at our front door and carry out Allah’s commands?
Step up to the plate, in other words. Calling the game from the bullpen isn’t working.
Wellington says
Have you taken “apart MB’s Project one line at a time?
As for myself, I have written to President Trump; one of my two Senators from Pennsylvania (Toomey); wrote to the previous President (Obama of course) respecting how his exculpation of Islam (e.g., Obama stating at the UN that the future should not belong to those who slander Mohammed) was one of many reasons why I thought him the worst President in American history; in my last years of teaching at the college level I told my students, since I really didn’t have anything to lose, that if I could convey to them one truth above all about Islam it would be that the term “radical Islam” is redundant; have spoken and written to large numbers of friends, acquaintances, relatives, et al. about the menace which is Islam (which won me thanks from some, rejection by others); have blogged at other sites; etc.
Is this enough? No, one can always do more but I don’t see the point in castigating people who post here at JW for not doing enough. First of all, how do you know what others have done? Did you know what I have done? Second, what is the point in tearing down those who already know about the gigantic menace which is Islam?
I know you mean well but your “approach” is flawed. Reconsider.
YYCAlberta says
Wellington, your points are well taken. Actions do speak volumes more than words, and I find many on this side of the border are reticent on the subject. Wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth are common, yet still they come. My frustration got the better of me today and I mean no dishonor to contributors here at Jihad Watch.
Speaking the truth to Islam is productive and generally can lead to enlightenment one person at a time. It would be fruitful if we could move the process along a little more quickly is all.
Maureen Chaloner says
I AGREE Time to stop talking and take ACTION.Best way is to support groups like Britain First and Tommy Robinson. They are VILLIFIED by our government and I have a good idea why. These guys,are shouting from the rooftops about the danger of the Islamic ideolgy and look at the persecution they suffer. It’s unbelievable and damned well evil. It seems the Islamists are the bloody chosen people.Time to ask yourselves WHY.Could it be something to do with the NWO agenda? See the Coudenhove Kalergi plan…what ideology is best suited to keep the dumbed down millions of mixed race slaves in place? Work it out,join the dots.

gravenimage says
Most leftists think that Islam is benign.
I’m afraid the idea that this is a plot by Infidels to use Muslims makes little sense. When have ravening Muslims ever been obedient citizens–especially to unbelievers?
Wellington says
I agree, gravenimage, about most leftists thinking Islam is benign, but this is compounded by many moderates and even conservatives foolishly concluding so.
For instance, Dinesh D’Souza, pretty much a conservative across the board, is of the opinion that the Islamic world is anti-West because of a recent fallen morality in the West (which is true) and all the while not realizing that the Islamic world has been anti-West since the 7th century. I myself know conservatives, let alone moderates and liberals, who know next to nothing about Islam to this day and are clueless respecting how inimical Islam is to freedom and many other wonderful things. Yes, growing awareness of Islam is occurring, surely, but I sometimes fear it will not be fast enough, though I’d still bet it will be. Gona’ be a close call.
PRCS says
In great measure, IMO, because they think of it as JUST a religion.
How they still–apparently–accept its barbaric punishments as ‘religious’ practices is so flabbergasting to me.
What excuses would a liberal, a leftist, a progressive have were Islam always defined and presented–publicly–as a theocracy?
A system of governance in which ‘religion’ and governance are one and the same.

The CCP is a close tie. I secretly enjoy seeing them reason with one another. The working premise of such as these is paralyzing threat with shiny survival baubles and bubbles sweetly dangling alongside. Straight talk and thinking is anathema and the sane mob becomes increasingly afraid to risk flexing its muscles. And now we have the specter of the Fauci/Gates vaccines virtuously starting to helpfully crack the whip, make a fortune, and spare themselves enormous lawsuits.
Perhaps it’s fortunate that Reality seems to be drawing back people’s attention.
gravenimage says
I don’t think that vaccines against deadly diseases are actually a bad thing. I was in the first generation of children who didn’t have the specter of polio hanging over their heads. I don’t think this is a negative.
Carol the 1st says
Yes, it may often be the frying pan or the fire but it seems vaccines are no longer tested as I assume they once were and a lot of harm has been done. We have good spokespeople lately – Dr. Rashid Buttar, Dr. Judy Merkovits, Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai. Most happen to think well of Bobby Kennedy Jr. who has taken up the cause and has more insight than others into the political frameworks that have led to present “double binds”.
This Valuetainment video just came out today and I’m only partway through but will venture to say it will be well worth the watching (I take the liberty of being O/T because I’m sure pandemics are the exception to the rule):

Carol–with the greatest respect–I don’t think that a vaccine for the Coronavirus, should one be developed–would somehow be worse than dying from this disease.
You may, of course, choose to disagree.
And I’m not sure that citing a quack Muslim doctor–Dr. Rashid Buttar–strengthens this case. He has claimed that Dr. Fauci created Covid-19.
gravenimage says
Yes–spreading the word that Islam is a that Islam is a threat to us all is *not* worthless as YYCAlberta implies.
Then there are things like slowing and even stopping Muslim immigration into the West, and enabling deportations of the Muslims who already here, beginning with the worst Jihadists. There have been movements to both of these, especially in the United States.
Then, our recognizing that few Muslims states are actual allies, and cutting aid to states that sponsor Jihad terror. Again, there has been action on this last, especially from the US, cutting aid to Pakistan and the “Palestinian Territories”.
These are good first steps, and we cannot stop.

Syria: Muslims murder teenager for “blasphemous” texts on his phone

Words have such power e.g. “religion” immediately conveys “goodness and good intent”. The word “strict” implies “self-sacrifice, assurance, and strength”. They are feel-good words that unfortunately help the vast majority slide over very tangible and obvious sins.
gravenimage says
Not all religions are good, Carol. What about child sacrifice to Baal and Aztecs’ cutting out the hearts of their neighbors?
Carol the 1st says
Maybe at that time they thus expected the word ‘religion’ to represent what was obviously anti-human?! By contrast today our main flag-bearer is Christianity and it’s Golden Rule etc. and so we automatically knee-jerk those “good thoughts” when we hear the word “religion”.
There are undoubtedly reasons we can’t change technical definitions but that doesn’t mean a false image isn’t being created by common conceptions of a very strong cultural word. I’ve seen practicing muslims actually fool themselves that a decent God is involved; I’ve seen very smart and well-informed kuffar choke up and swallow garbage at the idea the “god-seekers” are being ‘mistreated’ somewhere, somehow.
Right or wrong I rather get a kick out of China’s helpful activities.
gravenimage says
Carol, many people have successfully fought against Islam while knowing that it is an evil religion. The idea that everyone assumes that all religions are automatically good is mistaken.
Carol the 1st says
GI, I didn’t say that “everyone” thinks all modern-day religions are ‘good’. We know there are many atheists who judge religions as trouble-making wish-fulfillment or greed-driven nonsense. I think that’s different from seeing seemingly never-ending displays of sadistic and backward narcissistic evil. I think the term ‘religion’ delays the fate that Islam deserves. I confess I would like to see it totally stomped out as the world gets on much better without it. So pardon my impatience if you please.
Re C-10 and Dr. Buttar – I avoided watching him at first because he did look a little ‘wired’ but actually on the Valuetainment video he came across as quite intelligent and his credentials sounded good (now I see Wikipedia has it’s own version of Dr. B. and BTW I didn’t know he was muslim!). Merkovits and Kennedy think well of him so I honestly took a risk and added him to my post (I’m still not so sure it was a bad move).
Information on C-10 is a moving target but recently Chris Martenson of Peak Prosperity exposed an article from Newsweek and the conclusions are not at all flattering to Dr. Fauci. The finger seems to point in two global directions and I end up wondering WHAT real excuse is there for humans fooling with deadly viruses? Somebody else might unleash them first? We might be better prepared in such case? This seems to have been Fauci’s rationale:

I still don’t know what “C-10” and “COVID-10” are–do you mean Covid-19? That’s the Coronavirus we are dealing with now.
I found a video with the approximate title above–although this is also a reference to Covid-19. Dr. Christopher Martenson does not appear to be a practicing medical doctor. He seems to mostly write about economics and prosperity.
I think he is quite right about some places like China under reporting.
As for the article in Newsweek, that Dr. Fauci backed research on Coronaviruses means that he actually created the Coronavirus is just bizarre, and Newsweek does not make this claim. Coronaviruses have been around for centuries–remember SARS and MERS just in recent years?
Carol, despite my disagreements with you on this thread, I very much respect your comments here, and look forward to your posts.

One of the biggest lies moslims tell…and they do tell some whoppers…is that they are taught to show “mercy.”
Even if…and it will never be…they had the authority, the “right” and the duty, to enforce their unlawful code on everyone, even those who totally and strongly disagree with their beliefs, they would never be “merciful.” They claim that their fake ‘god’ is “merciful,” but there is never any evidence to show that satan even knows what the word means, much less that he would show mercy.
satan and his children are **full** of a lot, but not a gram, not an iota, not an atom, of mercy.
This poor kid never had a chance. He was convicted and murdered by satan’s slaves. But what these murderers have sown, they will reap. As Jesus said, ‘to the extent that one shows mercy, he will be shown mercy.’
And these moslim creeps, these murderers for satan, don’t have any right to decide who should live or die.
Carol the 1st says
They shrewdly chose not to waste the feel-good word “mercy”. Shrewdness often spares the dim-witted from immediately dangling on the rope of their inherent lack of intelligence. Look at how they’ve bundled up Allah with all kinds of contradictory, but ever so deep adjectives! He’s hypnotically ‘weird and wonderful’! We automatically keep our eye on that narcissistic snake.
Khameini and Erdogan seem to have weariness and disillusion stamped on their faces lately. It is delightful to catch a glimpse of it. I do hope they begin to appreciate that we in the West notice that the universe has actual and significant matters to constructively deal with for the sake of the species. It would become them to set their contaminated ideology aside and put a stopper on their pain-in-the-ass behavior.
