The title of the piece is “Who [will go forth to fight] against Salwan Momika, as He Harmed Allah and His Messenger?” This is meant to be evocative of an incident in the life of Muhammad. A critic of the prophet of Islam, Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf, had mocked him in verse. Muhammad asked his followers: “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)
Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state 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)
Yet Islamic apologists in the West routinely lie about all this and claim that Muhammad reacted with grace and tolerance in the face of impossible provocations, and the Leftist establishment media does its part by smearing as an “Islamophobe” anyone who dares to point out the relevant facts.
“Video By Pro-Al-Qaeda Media Outlet Calls On Muslims In Sweden To Behead Quran Burner Salwan Momika, ‘Massacre’ Swedish Security Forces,” MEMRI, August 22, 2023:
The following report is now a complimentary offering from MEMRI’s Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM). For JTTM subscription information, click here.
On August 17, 2023, the pro-Al-Qaeda Kata’ib Al-‘Iman Foundation released a six-minute video following several recent burnings and desecrations of the Quran in Sweden by Salwan Momika, a Sweden-based Iraqi refugee.[1] Titled “Who [will go forth to fight] against Salwan Momika, as He Harmed Allah and His Messenger?”, the video, in Arabic with English subtitles, calls on supporters to kill Momika and attack Swedish security forces. This report is based on the English subtitles, lightly edited for clarity.
The video opens by introducing Momika as a direct continuation of a long list of people and forces who have aimed to harm Islam and “extinguish the light of Allah.” To the background of photos and video excerpts of leaders and politicians accused of waging war on Islam, among them former U.S. President George W. Bush and former French President Francois Hollande, the narrator reads: “Times vary… Places vary… People vary… But all those have the same concern – destroying Islam and extinguishing the light of Allah Almighty.”
Referring to Momika personally, the narrator reads: “We and the Islamic nation have noticed the actions of the infidel taghout [Satan] Salwan Momika: burning the Quran, kicking it, treading it underfoot, and disrespecting it. During this period of 22 days… No one has shed his impure blood, until he repeated this action again, standing in front of dozens. No one has raised his head, and no one has held him accountable yet.”
The narrator next addresses the Iraqi responses to the incident, stating that the “polytheistic Rafidites” [a pejorative term for Shi’ites] avenged the book of Allah by expelling the Swedish embassy staff in Iraq and storming the embassy. He asks rhetorically: “O my monotheist brother, is it reasonable that the Rafidites are better than you, and more zealous for the book of Allah, while you are more deserving of the book of Allah than them? … Pluck the head of this infidel who trod on the book of Allah, and put an end to him.”
The video continues: “Know, my Muslim brother, you who live in Sweden, that Salwan’s action was not the first and will not be the last, unless you put an end to it by killing him. Know also that the Swedish police’s blood is a fair game for attack, just like drinking water. So shed their blood, kill their soldiers, hit their economy wherever they are. Do not underestimate the importance of killing them and fighting them.”
“If Allah saves you from them after you kill him [Momika],” the narrator advises, “go to another place, preferably a police center, and inflict a massacre on them. Let your goal be martyrdom and the spread of horror in the hearts of the infidels and hypocrites. If Allah decrees for you captivity or martyrdom, consider the reward [in the hereafter]; and know that all you have done was supporting the religion of Allah.”
The next few seconds show a simulated image of Salwan Momika targeted by a rifle sight. Then, a hadith is presented, telling the story of the killing of Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf by a follower of the Prophet Muhammad for insulting Allah and his messenger, followed by a direct call to supporters: “Who is ready to kill Salwan Momika, who has really hurt Allah and his apostle [sic]?”…

What a disgusting, evil and murderously violent type of religious ideology islam is. The followers of islam are always calling for opponents or critics of islam to be murdered in revenge. As for Muhammad and his call for his critics to be murdered, it puts the evil creature on the same level as, say, Putin. “Destroying islam and extinguishing the light of allah” would improve human life to a massive degree. islam has brought nothing but barbarity and evil to the human race for 1400 years and, if islam and all its garbage disappeared, it would be step forward towards a more civilised and peaceful world. islam drags the human race back to a dark and primitive way of life and should have disappeared ages ago.
David M says
It’s interesting the ones doing the burning are ex-Muslims themselves, people who know more about Islam than us kaffirs.
tim gallagher says
Yes, David M, they have seen the foulness of islam from the inside whereas many non-Muslims in our societies know bugger all about islam and its evil nature and are completely clueless. What a shame that all the Muslims don’t find a way to walk out on the barbaric load of garbage and join the modern, civilised non-Muslim way of life.
gravenimage says
True, Tim.
tim gallagher says
What a far better world it would be if the Muslims did walk out on the foul religious ideology that poisons them with its evil content, gravenimage.
Hindu American says
This is turning out to be more than a nuisance. It’s now a civilizational issue. Shame on the Danes for caving in. They will soon regret this decision but it will be too late to put the proverbial genie back into the bottle.

What rot the mozlums have for brains. If their fake god was really god, who could “harm him”? If their fake god was really god, how could one ‘extinguish his light”/ And since the fake god’s fake prophet has been worm debris…if he ever actually lived…for over a thousand years, how could burning a book ‘harm him’?
There are laws against calling for murder. In this time in which we are living, if one is a mozlum, one can call for the murder of others, threaten the lives of others, threaten their families, and the police and governments turn away to their own interests. The authorities are allowing mozlums to do as they beastly will without worrying about someone coming after them to render punishment.
And the same is happening with non-mozlums who are behaving in like manner. Commit a crime, brag and laugh about it, and don’t worry about being arrested and charged because the feds are on their side.
I truly believe we are so very near the end of this “system of things” that it could be the last minute any minute now.
FYI says
Mr Magoo,notoriously short sighted, went out one fine day to .post a letter.
But the letter box started screaming at him?
How was he to know it was a muslima?
But don’t worry the cops arrested him
Islamophobia:let’s stamp it out.Now.

Pro-jihad media outlet calls for beheading of Qur’an burner, invokes Muhammad calling for massacre of his critics
…………………………………
Orthodox Islam. The question is why Sweden is allowing these savage calls to murder?
mgoldberg says
And of course there are no muslim nations that dare to defy their ‘Islam’ by denouncing such calls to murder. None. And that we never non muslim nations never denounce…. but we should.
Westman says
Isn’t it amazing that “Allah”, creator of all, seems unwilling to murder the insulters of Islam yet many claiming to follow “the religion of peace” are willing and seeking to do it? The clear message from Allah is Allah is not interested in such petty nonsense.
“..such laws (death for insulting Islam) are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders of people who have insulted him.” Can someone cite a revelation from Allah approving of Muhammad ordering his associates to kill his personal critics?
No? It seems rather obvious that Muhammad acted on his own. What kind of “man” murders people who don’t accept him as their ruler after he claims that authority via a story about seeing a messenger in a cave?
And in this modern day, what kind of man would use Muhammad’s example as justification for murder of a critic of Islam? Intelligent people would simply ignore it. Violent response to criticism is the realm of those whose foundations, without an external support, are weak. Violence to critics by Islam is not a sign of confidence.
Gurek says
It is described in the Hadith that islam will return to it’s origins in Meccan desert and will not be a world religion anymore, it will be only a religion limited to Arabia, and then get destroyed. It will retreat to its nest like a sneaky snake. Hopefully that day will come soon.
Michael Copeland says
That prediction is attributed to Mohammed himself, one of the only prophecies that the “prophet” made. Another is that Islam would fragment into 72 sects, all of which except one would go to Hell, the one being those who follow the early companions (Salafists think of themselves as that category)..
somehistory says
Not many mention this; I’m glad you did. And I, too, have hopes it will come very soon. Better yet, cease to exist anywhere.
OLD GUY says
Wait a minute, you call for beheading based on someone burning a book. But it is OK for muslims/islam to murder, burn down churches, and rape non-islamic people. Based on the actions of islamic people around the world we non-islamic Christians should be destroying every mosque and Quran we can find.
If islam keeps up its violence against others thats exactly what will happen.
Peacelover says
As for ‘If islam keeps up its violence against others thats exactly what will happen’…
It’s been going on for 1400+ years now so it may not be stopped ’til Jesus comes back(Second coming). I tell ya’ though,a worldwide war between Christians and the Mus sometimes does seem wanting(sound good/appropriate that is)
Peacelover says
maybe a call for the ‘worldwide war’ was not appropriate but other than Jesus coming,I don’t know of another solution except for the faithful just to pray and survive one way or another. Then again,Islam has Already ‘called for war’ against anyone who does not believe in ‘their’ god. It’s in Their ‘book’ and beliefs.
Peacelover says
There is a war we already know is going on…good against evil,which sums it All up anyway and we already Know who is going to win in the end.
