We recently discussed the homicidal hunk from ISIS who is all the rage with Muslim women looking for a husband to watch martyred. The extremist Sunni movement has been reaching out to Westerners to join their self-declared caliphate and thousands have reportedly responded. Now even more disturbing pictures have been posted with a father from Australia having his seven-year-old son holding up a severed head in celebration and a former British rapper (right) doing the same. Beheadings are viewed by ISIS as a traditional Islamic form of execution and a type of macabre celebration of their view of Islam. Severed heads feature prominently on ISIS (or Islamic State) social media postings.
The image of the young boy is particularly shocking for most people even after being deadened by weeks of atrocities and murders by ISIS forces. Sharrouf (left and right) claims that this is his son who has joined him in the wonderful caliphate created by the Islamic State. Sharrouf is wanted on terrorism charges in Australia and escaped to the Middle East on his brother’s passport. He posted the picture with the caption: “That’s my boy.”
He of course also posed with the severed head — a signature moment for any Islamic State fanatic and apparently a father-son bonding moment. He followed the grisly pics with a prayer that Allah “grant us martyrdom.”
As a father of four who yesterday prevented my nine-year-old daughter from watching Batman as too violent, I cannot imagine the twisted religious view that prompts a father to teach a child to mock and devalue a human life in this fashion. But then again beheading are not viewed in our house as the ultimate expression of religious values.
A friend of Sharrouf defended the picture and told the Telegraph that “This is what every sensible Muslim wants, to bring their children up in a caliphate . . . I don’t see what the big concern is getting children to hold up severed heads.” In the meantime, pro-Islamic State flyers and supporters have appeared in England. These are people who see these images and rejoiced in them as the culmination of their true faith.
Much like the once secularized law student turned homicidal religious fanatic, British rapper Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, 23, shows how quickly an individual can become radicalized in these Islamic extremist circles. Before he was modeling with severed heads of non-believers and traitors, he was trying to establish himself in the record industry. Then roughly a year all, he walked out of his family’s wealthy home in Maida Vale, west London, to join ISIS and “leav[e] everything for the sake of Allah.” His new persona posted pictures laughing with severed heads and the caption “Chillin’ with my homie or what’s left of him.” He went from a rapper on the “grime” music scene to extremist after encountering Anjem Choudary — a hateful and extremist Muslim speaker. Now Bary displays heads with captions like “It’s beautiful when you see Allah’s laws implemented.”
These pictures truly capture the insurmountable gulf between these Islamic fanatics and the rest of humanity, including most Muslims. They revel in the blood and killings of non-believers and seem liberated from basic human values by their religion. Their clerics seem to tap into not just pre-existing rage but a desire for murder and torture. The sense of euphoria in these images speaks to an almost narcotic effect of unrestrained violent rage. What is interesting is that this is not some weekend frolic of homicidal joy but a constant state of serving Allah by severing heads.
The world has truly gone mad.

Jewish Voice for Peace – Boston Statement On Military Policing and Violence Against Civilians

@ Squeaky I take it back. It seems you might be running up against some of the same NWO shills I am now also. re:
Militarization of police forces intended to “protect and serve;”
Mass incarceration of African-Americans in the United States, and the continued legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws;
An apparent preference for construction of prisons rather than investment in job creation for low-income communities of color;
Racial profiling of African-Americans, Arab-Americans and Arab peoples in airports and on city streets;
Military operations in and continued occupation of foreign nations, and the technical, financial and physical support for these activities;
I have been running into the Talmudic Press activities myself and their shills
An unconventional Libertarian, I am non-interventionalist EXCEPT in the face of true evil rolling over the place – ala Hitler, Rwanda, ISIS; Iraq was our mess, and we do have a modicum of responsibility here.
Perhaps our limited air strikes should not be so limited. An A10
Squadron could do a lot to keep ISIS from moving forward – they simply don’t have the numbers of fighters to take the casualties either.
What truly surprises me however, in a country where virtually everybody own an AK-47 and many RPGs, how the populations in these places just roll over for the Caliphate. Perhaps residual institutional behavior left over from Saddam & subsequent occupation?
Dunno – but on some level you also get what you accept.
Horus is upset his mother, Isis is getting all the attention…

Cool macat 06 unreal the way they talk on here. Unbelievable.
What we have in Ferguson is NOTHING compared to Iraq and surrounding Countries – former resident – To compare our violence to the unmitigated hatred just seen is a joke
Everything you are seeing on the news is necessary when there is looting and a riot. Things have calmed down and the people have also. It was not a race riot. It was actually caused by the media and the fact the Police did not use stun guns or rubber bullets. The media is a joke. So get over it.
Great article with heart as usual stupid egocentric comments

Nuri al-Maliki ends bid to continue as Iraq’s prime minister
Time to think about an ISIS command headquarters strike in Mosul, Iraq. Collateral damage to be assessed after mission. No boots on the ground.
Obama, Kerry and Chuck Hagel might want call out NATO allies for a military assist.
These ISIS brats aren’t from Iraq. Their outsiders from NATO countries.
Isis won’t have a brizilian of a gaza, she’s doin a full wax.
OK.., I got it. Yep. Good thing we never had anything like Dahmer, Manson, and the rest of that type. Manson had a pretty good crowd going too. Point being, things not looking too good here right now… let’s try to fix that. Ferguson may not go quietly, I’m afraid.
“These people are certainly increasingly groomed into idealizing death and extreme intolerance. You are not going to find much good in honorable negotiations because we are dealing with fanatics.”
This is not to be confused with the pro-choice movement. Because only radical Islamists kill unwanted babies. Got it.
ISIS makes US gangs like the Hell’s Angels, Bloods, Cripps and Latin Kings look like normal, moral, law abiding citizens.

Unless I am mistaken, I think most Jews in America do live in the Northeast. Anyway. Yeah take the Warsaw uprising. Those Jews were scratching everywhere they could to find guns and weapons. Those are the kind of people who built Israel. Then you have Jews in America who want to disarm everybody but the Polizei. Like I said, they ‘re stupid.

Look at the Ferguson video, we don’t need to go all the way to Iraq to see cruelty and injustice. Plenty here to go around. See cnn.
These people are certainly increasingly groomed into idealizing death and extreme intolerance. You are not going to find much good in honorable negotiations because we are dealing with fanatics.
The world community is going to have to come to terms with the fact that ISIS is engaging in a genocide in Syria and Iraq and actually put an end to this horror. Things have changed in Iraq and it is not just a matter of internal political evolution. The Islamic State clearly has shown a design to murder their way into an expansion of their influence in the Middle East and more.
It should be disturbing when even Al-Queda will not support these guys due to their violence. Fixing the political situation in Iraq and providing more of a voice to the grievances of various ethnic groups in Iraq will be very helpful but we should look with alarm as a peace loving world at the rape of society that is occurring in these countries.
If you compare this to the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s the aggressors were mainly lightly armed compared to a military force. Now we have a heavily armed and financed genocidal organization with just as murderous intention, or even greater it could be credibly argued. The world vowed to never let another Rwanda happen again, now were are seeing the genesis of such in Iraq. If the world completely abandons the Iraqi people not only will those who don’t partake in the Islamic States brutality be murdered (or at the very least severely suppressed) but we can expect to deal with a large malignancy that will grow unchallenged.

First it’s “just” ALL American Jews that are stew-pid.
Then it’s parsed down to “just” the Northern Jews.
I wonder if Slavery would be parsed the same way…
