I have been discussing handguns all my adult life. I have pissed off more people that I got hair on my head. I keep telling them the truth and they think I am giving them hell. I am not unreasonable but when people have called me four letter names from afar there is no reconciliation. Its over for them if they ever want to get on my good side, I have no particular agenda, I have tried to help a great many men and women so they do not get stuck buying junk or a butchered job by one of the "Experts"...
There is so much BS out there I do not know where to start. It took me 30 years to get my reputation in the quality of work I do and there is no short cut to reaching the top of your expertise, its just hard work and a learning curve and if you are not prepared to listen and learn then there is no hope for you to get to the top of the mountain. A helicopter will not take you to the top of your game.
In order for a struggling "SMITH" to get articles printed or even new products mentioned you will most likely have to pay for ads in that particular magazine you want a write up in, "NOTHING IS FOR FREE".. There is a price to pay to get a well known editor or writer to even consider helping you with a positive article, its that simple. There is a lag time for a magazine article of about 6 months, if you are lucky.
If you deal with a free lance writer you are lowering your chances to get an article in print because even if this free lance writer plays it straight with you, that does not mean any editor will go along with the article and the writer and you. Your chances of getting an article in print is enchanced if you deal with a gun writer that has a steady column in the magazine every month or bi monthly or whatever their deal is. Some of these editors are very nice and others like to play G-d, but with the internet now at this point in time they have been knocked down a peg or two.
Do they like me ?? hell no, but they admire the quality of my internal action work that is second to none. I have done 150 guns for gun writers and it was my decision who I wanted to work for, most of the insiders know I was very close to the late great gun writer Tom Ferguson and I also did a lot of work for Hal Swiggett. One of my very favorite people is and always has been John Taffin, he is the very last of the all time great gun writers of America.
I personally believe that of todays gun writers I think that Stephen Camp is first rate and his evaluation of handguns and ammunition is honest and superbly written. www.hipowersandhandguns.com
Steve is my friend, and very gifted as well as Rich Grassi who is also a top notch gun writer. Having said all this I know a great deal more about writers and how things are done that I just can not write in a public place. The people I have mentioned have always had your best interest at heart and they have told you as much truth as an editor would allow considering that the editor may have dollar signs in his eye balls seeking all that advertising money.
There are so many frauds in the handgun business I do not know where to start, Here I go again making more friends. And you wonder why I carry two or three guns and at least two major very high dollar tactical knives. My good friend Don Lewis is often amazed at what kind of knives I carry and years ago I did train with knives in various martial arts schools but that was a lifetime ago. I would think nothing of paying 300 to 500 dollars for a first rate folder in my younger years.
I have this blogger so that I can say what I want and tell you the truth and these jerk offs can not interupt me and start calling me names from afar. I do not want you to be taken in buying a handgun for the protection of life and property. Many people have been shot with handguns that I have worked on and its been good for the most part as the LEO got to go home to his family that night. There have been some other situations that still bother me.
I would rather you never buy any new model of handgun unless its been out about one year. Why should you be the factories experiment. Let them work the bugs out first. You want to be certain that the pistol and caliber are first rate, in the case of Revolvers that are made today there is no question I would buy a Ruger SP 101 or a GP 100, that is brand new in the box. I would still buy a SW 642 revolver for pocket carry and it is not the gun it used to be but it is still good for protection of life and property. I would settle on a 38 special caliber over a 32 caliber mouse gun.
In the semi auto market the only inexpensive handgun I can recommend is the "MAKAROV" - this is a first rate design and it comes from many countries of origin but the best is the East German models. I suggest you always buy a single stack version that is chambered in 9x18 mm caliber. NO, YOU CAN NOT SHOOT 9mm LUGER AMMO IN IT, UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE HEAVEN OR HELL, depending on your life style. All the East German Makarovs I have ever seen have been used.
In todays handgun market and in the smithing world many smiths will tell you that you must lower the ejection port and cut in a roll over notch as in a 1911 pistol slide for reliability. THIS IS TOTAL BS. Just ask your self if this is true then why does the Makarov and the HK P7 M8 or M13 never jam. Their ejection port is tiny and these designs work flawlessly, they will not jam if maintained properly and good ammunition is used. The older 1911 WW II pistols worked very reliably and the never had a lowered or flared ejection port, they rattled and sounded like a bucket of bolts but they worked.
It seems everyone has come out with a better idea, they have changed internal designs and I see it for the worst. The name of this game is money and its dictated by marketing geniuses that actually tell the design people what to do. How many new calibers do you think you need. Try taking a 40 caliber handgun over to the middle east (sand box) and let me know what you find when you run out of ammunition. You will have a wonderful paper weight while everyone is using a 9mm, so what if you have to stop an attacker using two or three cartridges. Remember its always bullet placement and the rest is nonsense.
I am trying to get you to see logic. You may very well find that if we are attacked there will be no more places to buy your exotic ammunition in these hard to find calibers. This is when you should seriously start thinking of buying some reloading equipment as you will have your own ammunition factory providing you have components. No powder, no primers, no cases, no bullets you have nothing. It will not cost you much to get a basic set up to reload. Start now, buy a little at a time while you still can.
I answer a lot of emails and most people procrastinate about everything including fixing their existing weapons. They neglect buying extra magazines and or speed loaders and extra parts and supplies and they will pay dearly for this in due time. The world is against us and American kids grow up with their electronics and DVD players and all the gadgets that I know nothing about. BUT THE KIDS FROM THE THIRD WORLD GROW UP WITH THEIR AK-47's and THEIR RPG's... They are trained to use these weapons against us some day. We are drifting closer to this encounter day after day after day.
I can not stress how important this subject of getting your weapons up to par before its too late. Do not buy used weapons that you do not have the history of, and buying guns sight unseen is not recommended. You will be making a very big mistake. Buy a new proven weapon and you must learn safety and how to use it. I am not very optimistic about current events and that is why I put up intellegence reports for you to read. I go to a great deal of trouble seeking out these reports in order to wake you up before its too late.
I spend hours at night looking for things you should read, I have many things that are to gruesome for the average American to see, and I will not put that up in this blogger. You should go to www.michaelsavage.com look at the beheadings so you will know your enemy.
Should you have any suggestions of a particular handgun you want me to speak about you can email me at tjacobson@houston.rr.com
Hamas website: Kids, die for Allah
New Hamas website features animated figures calling on youngsters to fight Zionists, commit suicide for God Dudi Goldman
A new, attractive website for children was recently launched on the net. The site features animated figures and stories that young children could easily relate to.
However, unlike ordinary sites catering for children, this particular one is operated by Hamas and its main objective is to advocate suicide and self sacrifice on behalf of Allah.
According to Israel's leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the site, whose name means "The Victor," glorifies death and suicide for God.
In one instance, a caption that appears next to a picture of an animated girl throwing stones at IDF soldiers, reads: "Death for Allah is victory, the victory of the glorified heroes whose names will forever remain in the hearts of millions of Muslims across the world."
The animated figure calls on children surfing the web to enter the site and learn about the lives of "shahids" (martyrs) who "died a hero's
death," after massacring Jews.
Another section of the site is dedicated to suicide bombers. Each day the site presents the picture and biography of a different "shahid." A special page on "The Victor" focuses on the story of Hamas' "brave shahid" Nazim Jabary, who carried out a suicide bombing aboard a Be'er Sheva bus in 2004, killing 16 people, including children.
And, like every self-respecting site for youngsters, the website also features some catchy songs to entertain surfers: "For the great heroes who killed the Zionist thieves and invaders and died for Allah. These are the heroes our people will treasure in their hearts for eternity, and their names will be spoken by millions of Muslims today and in the future."
WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE
THE JIHAD
Palestinian kids raised for warTaught to hate, kill Jews through 'Sesame Street'-type TV show
Posted: November 3, 20001:00 a.m. Eastern
By Jon E. Dougherty and David Kupelian© 2000 WorldNetDaily.com
Heavily armed Israeli soldiers shooting at innocent Palestinian children caught in the crossfire. That is the image that has dominated international press coverage of the five-week-old wave of violence that has wracked the Middle East, during which, according to some accounts, over 40 Palestinian children have died.
With each new report of youthful casualties, the perception of something unthinkable -- that Israeli soldiers are targeting children -- is reinforced in media coverage, a great deal of which tends to favor the perceived underdog in the clashes, namely the Palestinians.
The reality is indeed unthinkable, but not in the way so neatly portrayed by sound-bite media accounts of Palestinian children being shot by Israeli soldiers.
Indeed, powerful and secret forces are at work in Palestinian nurseries, preschools, entertainment venues, classrooms and summer camps - forces that shape the current and future battles between Palestinians and Israelis, indeed, make them all but inevitable. However, up until recently, this amazing story has for the most part been hidden from Western eyes.
Palestinian children are taught to hate Jews, to glorify "jihad" (holy war), violence, death and child martyrdom almost from birth, as an essential part of their culture and destiny.
As captured on an Israeli video documentary produced in 1998, a "Sesame Street"-like children's program called the "Children's Club" -- complete with puppet shows, songs, Mickey Mouse and other characters -- focused on inculcating intense hatred of Jews and a passion for engaging in and celebrating violence against them in a perpetual "jihad" until the day the Israeli flags come down from above "Palestinian land" and the Palestinian flag is raised.
Palestinian children throwing rocks at an Israeli military vehicle.
In one song on the "Children's Club," very young children are shown singing songs about wanting to become "suicide warriors" and to take up "a machine gun" to direct "violence, anger, anger, anger" against Israelis.
During the show, which features children aged 4-10, one young boy sings, "When I wander into Jerusalem, I will become a suicide bomber." Afterward, other children stand to call for "Jihad! Holy war to the end against the Zionist enemy."
In another segment, a boy who appears to be no more than 8 or 9 years old chants: "My patience has run out. All Arab existence cries for revenge" against the Jews in Israel.
The documentary also juxtaposes the children's programming with television news reporting, in which the news anchor - reflecting the same message the children are receiving -describes Palestinians as "noble, courageous" fighters, while describing Israel as "mean, fascist, racist, genocidal" and "Nazis."
Other "highlights" of the "Children's Club":
Groups of children are gathered together, shouting for "Jihad against Israel."
One girl, who appears to be in a Palestinian school classroom, sings of donning "battledress" to "attack the Zionists."
A small girl chants the now-familiar ditty, "When I wander into Jerusalem, I will become a suicide bomber."
An adult narrator reads material in a Palestinian school pamphlet: "I have raised my children for jihad and on the principle that they never give up on their land."
One segment depicts a small boy on the street chanting, "Revolution until victory."
Another boy is shown in class proclaiming, "We will settle our claims with stones and bullets."
In Palestinian school classrooms, the message is the same.
"It's very scary - it's a state-run educational system that teaches its children to be martyrs," said Meyrav Wurmser, Ph.D., an expert in Middle East politics who taught at the U.S. Naval Academy and Johns Hopkins. Wurmser is the author of the recently published book,
"In the Palestinian case, what we see is the cynical use of children, who are exposed to a state-run ideology that pushes them to their death, in the name of Palestinian nationalism," she says. "Children are taught to idealize death, to view it as a positive. In many cases, they are told that death is not death at all, but rather the beginning of a new life."
Wurmser is currently the executive director of The Middle East Media & Research Institute, or MEMRI, and has published extensively on the Middle East and Arab and Israeli politics.
How can children be sold on dying in battle?
"The state threatens children if they're not willing to commit jihad," says Wurmser, "and tells them they will be punished by God if they do not commit jihad. If they do commit jihad, they and their families will be benefited by the state. [Their families] are promised major financial benefits if they kill themselves in suicide attacks against Israel."
To get over the fear, explained Wurmser, "they are told by their teachers that they're not going to die at all.
There is definitely an element of denial they are exposed to."
This is not to say that some parents won't object to having their children converted to terrorists, says Wurmser, "but in the more religious families, there is no sense of sorrow.
We see Palestinian mothers who have lost children - especially parents from very fundamentalist Muslim backgrounds -- who are not upset at all, but who say their sons have brought great honor to their families." This is typical, she says, of "radical national Arab regimes who have adopted the Islamic line."
This shocking assessment was bolstered in an Oct. 27
"Interviewed by journalists after [recent] tragedies, some of the parents of these young victims refer to their children as shaheeds (martyrs), whose lives were given willingly and proudly to the Palestinian cause in fighting the hated Zionist enemy," Steinberg said.

"In an unbelievably shocking scene, one mother boasted that she bore her son precisely for this purpose, and the father proudly claimed credit for providing the training. The parents will also receive a sizeable financial 'reward' from the Palestinian Authority," he said.
"For a people who count Abraham (or Ibrahim) among their ancestors, this willful child sacrifice violates the fundamental tenets of morality and ethics," said Steinberg. "The message of Abraham's non-sacrifice of Isaac was, and remains first and foremost, the absolute rejection of such practices."
Middle East sources consulted by WorldNetDaily said the "Children's Club" is no longer being produced, but that other programs with similar messages and themes have taken its place.
Killing by Beheading is Islamic!
By Syed Kamran Mirza
Syed_mirza@hotmail.com
Big question-‘is the beheading Islamic?’
Yes, beheading is, of course, an Islamic justice to the infidels, criminals, and sinners. This cruel way of killing infidels is sanctioned by Islamic Sharia laws. Denial to the grotesque beheading of western Kaffirs by those Islamic terrorists (in Iraq) that it is not Islamic is yet another clear sign of ignorance, hypocrisy, or intellectual dishonesty by the defenders of Islam. Islamists are not ready to take the burden of ugly reality of the fact that human beheading is 100% consistent with the sacred Islamic Jihadi practices.
Hatreds towards other religion such as Jews, Christians, Hindus and other polytheists are the ardent teachings of Islamic holy book Qur’an. Beheading was practiced by the Prophet Muhammad himself during the 7th century period of Islam and by the most Islamic rulers thereafter.
Saddest thing is no Islamists will ever tell you the truth about the intimate relation of beheading in Islam! Following the recent beheadings of Americans and other foreigners in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, the U.S. press turned to various experts to identify a precedent in the Quran or Islamic history for this kind of gory murder. Look what were the answers by some erudite but hypocritical Mullahs! Imam Muhammad Adam El-Sheik, co-founder and chief cleric at the Dar Al Hijrah Mosque at falls Church, VA told to the USA today:
“Beheadings are not mentioned in the Koran at all". Yvonne Haddad, a professor at the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University has agreed with the above Imam and added (to New York Newsday): "There is absolutely nothing in Islam that justifies cutting off a person's head.” You go ask any Imam or mullah in the US, you will come up with the same lies again and again.
Obviously, had it not been the sacred custom of ancient Islam, beheading would be quite unnecessary method to kill enemies by those Islamic terrorists in Iraq. Those Islamic terrorists could easily kill their infidel enemies (such as Daniel Pearl, Nich berg, Kim Sun II, Paul Johnson etc.) by a simple bullet. But those militants actually wanted to give an Islamic veneer to the infidel slayings -because killing by beheading is considered most brutal and utterly degrading, and only western infidels deserve this type of brutal killing.
In fact they only tried to follow the footsteps Prophet Muhammad and devoutly followed the Allah’s order in the Qur’an. Holy Quran is replete with the harsh verses which directly order Muslims to behead Kaffirs/infidels. Let me cite some sample of those verses below:
Quranic verses that dictate beheading Kaffirs:
5:33-“The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution (by beheading), or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;”
8:12- “I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.”
47:4- “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), strike off their heads; at length; then when you have made wide Slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives”: thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.”
9:123: “Oh ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers and let them find harshness in you.”
2:191- “Kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from wherever they drove you out.”
5: 45-- “We ordained therein for them: “Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear. Toth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal.”
2:193- “Fight them on until there is no more tumult and religion becomes that of Allah”
9:29- "Fight those who do not believe in God and the last day... and fight People of the Book, (Christian and Jews) who do not accept the religion of truth (Islam) until they pay tribute (Zizziya tax) by hand, being inferior.”
8:17-It is not ye who Slew them; it is God; when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not Thy act, but God’s…..” (Allah is a real merciful indeed!)
How can Islamic Mullahs blatantly hide these authentic Quarnic verses?
The above Qur’anic scriptures incited early Muslim Jihadis to behead thousands of non-Muslims and other infidels. These same Quranic verses may still inciting devout/fanatical Muslims of modern days. During the early period of Islam, especially during Islamic expeditions by Prophet Muhammad himself while he was in Medina, thousands of infidels were brutally beheaded by the Jihadis. Below is a case in point collected from the authentic Islamic history to use as an example of Islamic beheading.
Proofs of beheading practice by Prophet Muhammad (According to “Sirat A,
Rasul” page 464):
“When Banu Qurayza Jewish tribe was surrendered (627 A.D.) unconditionally, the apostle confined them in Medina in the quarter of al-Harith, a woman of B. al-Najjar. Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches tying theirs both hands with their necks.
This beheading went on until the apostle made an end of them. There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900. Apparently Muhammad himself worked on the digging of the trench into which the massacred Jews were to be thrown. But he (Muhammad) did not only take part in those preparations, the formulation of the text states but also participated himself in beading of at least two of the leading Jews.
Sahi Buchari Hadiths #143, page-700 : Sulaiman Ibne Harb…Aannas Ibne Malek (ra) narrated, “in the war of Khaiber after the inhabitants of Banu Qurayza was surrendered, Allah’s apostle killed all the able/adult men, and he (prophet) took all women and children as captives (Ghani mateer maal).. Among the captives Rayhana a beautiful young Jewish girl was taken by Allah’s Apostle as booty whom He married after freeing her and her freedom was her Mohr.”
Here is the excerpt from Dr. Andew Bostom’s article in the Frontpage Magazine:
‘According to the biography of Prophet Muhammad by Ibn Ishaq, Prophet Muhammad himself sanctioned the massacre of the Qurayza, a vanquished Jewish tribe mercilessly.
Thus some 600 to 900 men from the Qurayza were lead on Muhammad’s order to the Market of Medina. Trenches were dug and the men were beheaded, and their decapitated corpses buried in the trenches while Muhammad watched in attendance. Women and children were sold into slavery, a number of them being distributed as gifts among Muhammad’s companions, and Muhammad chose one of the Qurayza women (Rayhana) for himself.
The Qurayza’s property and other possessions (including weapons) were also divided up as additional "booty" among the Muslims, to support further jihad campaigns.
The classical Muslim jurist al-Mawardi (a Shafi’ite jurist, d. 1058) from Baghdad was a seminal, prolific scholar who lived during the so-called Islamic "Golden Age" of the Abbasid-Baghdadian Caliphate. He wrote the following, based on widely accepted interpretations of the Qur'an and Sunna (i.e., the recorded words and deeds of Muhammad), regarding infidel prisoners of jihad campaigns:
“As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Indeed such odious “rules” were iterated by all four classical schools of Islamic jurisprudence, across the vast Muslim empire.
For centuries, from the Iberian Peninsula to the Indian subcontinent, jihad campaigns waged by Muslim armies against infidel Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, Buddhists and Hindus, were punctuated by massacres, including mass throat slittings and beheadings. During the period of “enlightened” Muslim rule, the Christians of Iberian Toledo, who had first submitted to their Arab Muslim invaders in 711 or 712, revolted in 713. In the harsh Muslim reprisal that ensued, Toledo was pillaged, and all the Christian notables had their throats cut.
On the Indian subcontinent, Babur (1483-1530), the founder of the Mughal Empire, who is revered as a paragon of Muslim tolerance by modern revisionist historians, recorded the following in his autobiographical “Baburnama,” about infidel prisoners of a jihad campaign: "Those who were brought in alive [having surrendered] were ordered beheaded, after which a tower of skulls was erected in the camp."
Historical background.
Beheading of the criminals with a sword or axe was a common practice by all ancient civilizations for thousands of years. Beheading was widely used in Europe, Asia and Africa (Muslim and non-Muslim alike) until the very early 20th century, and only recently entire civilized world have abandoned this ancient cruel practice of capital punishment.
But this barbaric ancient practice still exists in the Muslim world only. Among them are-Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Yemen and Iran and erstwhile Talebani Afghanistan. Beheadings have also occurred (perpetrated by the Jihadis in the recent past) in Algeria, Nigeria, Kashmir, Chechnya and the Muslim-dominated southern Philippines. Iranian mullahs have cut off the heads of some political figures. The Beirut CIA station chief William Buckley was kidnapped by Hezbollah and sent to Iran, where he was beheaded in 1986.
The beheading Capital of the modern world-Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is the birth place of Islam. Holy Quran ( Sharia laws) is the Saudi Arabia’s constitution. Islamic Sharia (Islamic Hudut laws) was formulated from the Quran and ahadiths which permits beheading of the infidels and ugly criminals like killers. Please don’t come to make your empty claim-that Saudi Arabia is not a real Islamic country!
You have to give us crucial reasons why Saudi is not a real Islamic country? Also you must give us examples where lies the real Islam? Also please do not make empty sound of “mistranslation” or your ludicrous claim of so called “out of context”. Quran is considered eternal by the fanatical Muslims.
Therefore, nothing is out of context to the fanatics of Islam until the judgement day!
Saudi Arabia uses public beheading as the punishment for murder, rape, drug trafficking, sodomy and armed robbery, apostasy and certain other offences such as homosexuality illicit love affairs of Saudi girls (one Saudi princess was beheaded for illicit love). 45 men and 2 women were beheaded in 2002 and a further 52 men and 1 woman in 2003.
The condemned of both sexes are given tranquillisers and then taken by police van to a public square or a car park after midday Friday prayers. Their eyes are covered and they are blindfolded. The police clear the square of traffic and a sheet of blue plastic sheet about 16 feet square is laid out on the ground. Dressed in their own clothes, barefoot, with shackled feet and hands cuffed behind their back, the prisoner is led by a police officer to the centre of the sheet where they are made to kneel facing Mecca.
An Interior Ministry official reads out the prisoner's name and crime to the crowd of witnesses. Saudi Arabia also cut (Chopping) hands and feet of the thieves. And Saudi does this as per Islamic code and tradition.
The Saudi government says the punishment (Qisas) is sanctioned by Islamic tradition. State-ordered beheadings are performed in courtyards outside crowded mosques in major cities after weekly Friday prayer services. A condemned convict is brought into the courtyard; hands tied, and forced to bow before an executioner, who swings a huge sword amid cries from onlookers of "Allahu Akbar!" Arabic for "God is great."
No Remorse at all in the Arab Medias:
While prison abuse scandal in the Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq created deluge of criticisms, condemnations and apology in the west, especially among the American medias, but it is astoundingly surprising that these brutal, barbaric beheadings of innocent civilian infidels in Iraq created virtually no remorse or condemnation in the entire Muslim world in general, in the entire Arab world in particular.
In his Washington post essay titled: “Where's the Arab Media's Sense of Outrage?” Mamoun Fandy a columnist for two daily newspapers, Asharq al-Awsat in London and al-Ahram in Cairo, put his outrage in this way: “As I scanned Arab satellite channels and Arabic newspapers, I found a lot of reporting on the brutal attacks by the terrorists, but very little condemnation and a widespread willingness to run the stomach-turning video and photos (beheadings) again and again.
Showing videotapes of people being shot, beheaded or held hostage with a curved sword aimed at their neck is largely new terrain for the Arab media. As a media critic whose focus is the Arab world, I have watched perhaps a dozen Arab channels and read countless newspapers in recent weeks.
I found that few Arab commentators and journalists noted either that major shift or its significance. In particular, the Kim and Johnson beheadings generally have been reported as if they were quite ordinary.
Al-Jazeera is the famous Arab network that calls every Arab suicide bomber a shaheed, or martyr. Islamic radicals have killed writers in Algeria, Egypt and elsewhere whose work challenged the logic of martyrdom and "random jihad," or killing foreigners in the name of Islam.
But the lack of condemnation of the beheadings, despite their barbarism, is a direct result of a broad and dangerous trend in Arab media and in Arab culture broadly. The Arab world today swims in a sea of linguistic violence that justifies terrorism and makes it acceptable, especially to the young.
One Egyptian student told me the Americans "deserve [killing] for their support to Israel and their occupation of Iraq." A Kuwaiti who recently graduated from a Pennsylvania university said of Americans, "Don't believe them when they say it is al Qaeda that is slaying Americans.
It is Americans who are killing Americans to justify their presence in the Arab world and to control Arab oil." Arabs should stop deceiving themselves by confusing the suffering of Arabs in Iraq and the occupied territories in Israel with the beheading of innocent people in Iraq and elsewhere.”
Why Killing Islamically: (?)
Perhaps, many can not quite conceive why these Islamic terrorists use this ancient barbaric method of beheading (by sword, knives or Axes) to kill kaffirs, instead of using simple and sure method of bullets. This is because they are the true Muslims and true followers of the best human Prophet Muhammad. It’s not true that they have any shortage of guns and pistols. But they are afraid to disobeying Prophet’s methods and tactics prescribed by the holy Quran.
They are desperate to get full benefits (getting lucrative Islamic heavens as promised by the Quran) of their service to Islam. Therefore they are bound to use Prophetic methods (read Islamic style) of killing/assassinating the enemies of Allah and Prophet by slitting necks, cutting hands and legs by a long curve sword. This is the same good reason why in Bangladesh-Jamati Islami,s (a political party) student-wing Chatra-Shibir’s jihadis use to kill their opponents by cutting hands and feet.
They want to follow everything as per Islamic code. Because Islam still sits and firmly anchored in the 7th century medieval period and never will move ahead.
Conclusion:
Hope it is now clear why Islamic jihadis are cutting necks (beheading), chopping wrists, hands and legs of anybody who dares to go against Allah and Prophet. Because they know more than anybody of us that ‘beheading’ is of course, prescribed method of Islamic killing. Islamists also consider beheading as the most degrading way of killing lowly human beings (called Kaffirs) and they love to use this brutal barbaric method to kill any infidels, because they hate infidels worst than the dog.
Thanks to our blind-eyed hypocritical Muslim elites (both residing inside their native lands and outside in the western paradise of democracy) for their intentional ignorance about the real Islam. Their broken records of “this is not real Islam” will only add more fuel to the infernos of jihadis mindsets to commit more and more Islamic barbarism.
Uttering the most heinous phrase: “This is not the real Islam” will do no good to the millions of Muslims. Mind you, Islamic terrorists, al-Qaeda jihadists, Osama-bin-laden, and so called Wahabi followers are all perfect and real Muslims by the book. They are the ardent followers of the Islamic scriptures. These jihadis will never listen to your logic or advice; they all will take advice and teachings from the Holy book called Quran and sahi hadiths (traditions of Prophet Muhammad).
Time has arrived now to identify and intervening the real cause of this ancient medieval stupidity. Real problem is with the ancient teachings of Islam (read Qur’an) which are outdated and no longer fitting the today’s civilized world. Nothing can change this precarious situation of Muslims unless we realize the real problem and take care of it.
