Chapter 16
The Infidel POW
An increasingly popular trend among Islamic terrorists worldwide is to post videos of Muslims
beheading infidels. Non-Muslims have been beheaded in the Philippines, Chechnya, Kashmir, Iraq,
Pakistan, and elsewhere. The Qur’an’s Sura 47:4, has been cited as the theological basis for such acts:
"When you meet in battle those who have disbelieved, smite their necks; and after the slaughter fasten
tight the bonds, until the war lays aside its burdens. Then either release them as a favor, or in return for
ransom." Sura 8: The Spoils of War, section 12 also states that Allah will throw fear into the hearts of the
disbelievers, and directs faithful Muslims to ‘smite their necks and fingers’, with section 67 informing
that "A prophet may not take captives until he has made a slaughter in the land".
The beheading of Daniel Pearl in 2002, followed by the killings of Nicholas Berg, Paul Johnson Jr.,
Kim Sun-Il, and Eugene Armstrong, as well as the killing of other nationals and threats to behead a
growing list of captives, have garnered major media attention for the terrorists as Arab satellite channels
rush to air the pictures and videos to customers eager to see them. Yet Saudis Arabia's Prince Sattam
issued a statement to Westerners that Johnson’s beheading was a malicious crime rejected by Islam,
declaring, "This has happened for the first time in the Kingdom". But according to a Jun 25 2004 CBS
News report, the Saudi government ordered and carried out 52 beheadings in 2003, for crimes including
robbery, drug smuggling, and homosexuality. In the kingdoms largest cities such beheadings (with other
gruesome punishments) are regularly performed in the courtyards of mosques following Friday prayers.
The terrorists are not primarily using the various beheadings as a technique to make us cower and
drive us out. The beheading films are first and foremost a recruitment tool, and have been around for a
long time. The first generation of vile home-movies depicting the gruesome slaughter of infidels were
circulated in North Africa decades ago. The purpose, now and then, is to demonstrate to orthodox
Muslims their bona fide status as true emissaries of Muhammad, and to excite homicidal fanatics and lure
them into the local Islamist gang. These recruiting films are aimed at subhuman homicidal maniacs who
revel in bloody brutality, an emotion that passes for spirituality to them. Thanks to the Internet and
comrades at Arab satellite stations, Muslim Jihad marketing and distribution methods have now improved
dramatically.
Today’s Jihad movement, like so many before, continues to draw its foot soldiers from people who
dream of beheading infidels, a fantasy that flows naturally after receiving a proper education consisting of
memorizing the Qur’an and studying the life, words, and example of their ‘prophet’. It is quite clear that
they see us all as animals deserving slaughter. These vile sub-human acts discredit any notion that our
enemies are normal human beings driven to desperation by injustice, misery, and oppressive US
hegemony. It is pure folly to think terrorists and their masters are people trying to avenge some injustice
or remedy old grievances, yet some people still fall for this sort of complete rubbish. The only way
sensible people could possibly begin to believe such garbage, is to first carefully censor all evidence
showing the true nature and source of terrorist acts. Islamic propagandists (including our own left leaning
liberal media elitists) accomplish this by taking the scenes of 9/11 and the beheading videos off the air,
and journalistically by filtering the utter barbarity of these people through the use of ‘sensitive’ words
designed to have no emotional impact. This censor effort has become an imperative of Islamists and their
apologists because they know the beheadings truly define and bring into clear focus not only the hearts
and minds of terrorists, but also the core values of the parents and communities who raised them, not to
mention the ‘religion’ that inspires them.
The scenes we saw Sept 11 were every bit as horrible as the beheadings, which briefly unified us in
the realization that we were facing an enemy that would have to be fought to the finish. Videos of the
people who jumped to their death from the Twin Towers, or those burned or crushed in New York and
Washington provide clear documentation of what awaits us all if we fail to win. Now the beheading
videos both confirm and deepen that evidence. We cannot wage an effective war unless we understand the
true nature and objectives of our enemy. We jeopardize prolonging the agony if we do not grasp that
terrorists' ranks are full of people who are there primarily because they are thrilled by the prospect of
