ISIS-linked extremists in Yemen has reportedly carried out their threat to crucify a captured priest, Father Thomas Uzhunnalil, 56, after he was taken hostage during a massacre at a Catholic home. Some 15 people were killed on March 4th after four Islamic extremists posed as visiting family members and then murdered the occupants, including four Indian nuns, two Yemeni female staff members, eight elderly residents and a guard. Also, in Pakistan, at least 70 people are dead in an ISIS attack during the Easter holiday that targeted a playground filled with mothers and children. A Taliban faction Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, which has sworn allegiance to ISIS, took “credit” for the Easter bombing — using bombs loaded with ball bearings to maximize the killing of the children and mothers gathered in the park for the holiday. Islamic extremists who are willing to riot and kill for any slight of their religion have little problem with targeting religious buildings and holidays of other faiths. While such inconsistencies are hardly surprising for a group willing to crucify priests and shoot elderly nuns, the belief that such grotesque acts please Allah remains inconceivable to most people.
Father Uzhunnalil was kidnapped by ISIS gunmen in Yemen three weeks ago. Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn told a congregation gathered in St. Stephen’s Cathedral in the Austrian capital that the priest had been crucified. Some media sites however are still saying that the fate of this priest remains uncertain. The location is a refuge for the elderly operated by Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity in main southern city Aden. ISIS targeted people of God who not only took vows of poverty but took assignments in one of the most dangerous and impoverished areas of the world.
What is equally disturbing with the violence in Pakistan is that, rather than forcing a period of reflection on the rise of Islamic extremism, thousands took to the street to praise the murderer of a moderate politician who was killed by his bodyguard for criticizing the blasphemy laws. The streets were filled with Muslims demanding the adoption of medieval Islamic Sharia laws, including the death penalty for those who insult or defame Islam.

Here’s a chilling interview in Norway with a Mullah named Krekar.

Where are the real Muslims standing up, pointing at him, and saying, “He’s not a Muslim! He’s not a Muslim”?
Now, you understand why the West is severely criticizing Islam. No matter how hard Mogahed tries to spin this, to make it into a positive image, there are critical thinkers in the West who actually knows that Islam is not compatible with Western values, laws, and culture.
@Mike Pouraryan
Do watch this film made by Geert Wilders.
Mogahed won’t be able to make a dent in presenting a positive Islamic image. It’s too late.

Pay attention to: 8:10-9:30 and watch the montage of men speaking about Islam’s end goal. Line that up with Obama’s persistence to get gun control on the table. You’ll realize quickly that coupled with ‘rapefugees’, America will find itself in the same trouble as Europe.
correction: 120 cars. 120 x 3 = 360 or 120 x 4 = 480.
That 13-year-old child felt special in a very good way. She had the backing of 360-480 men. Every woman, or child, that’s Russian felt safe knowing that they would have the Rusaki doing the same things over and over again.
Here’s an active group of families taking action. Do you know who they are? They’re called the Rusaki.
The Rusaki are German-Russian immigrant groups formed to deter ‘rapefugees’ from trying rapes on Russian children. There was a 13-year-old girl who got raped by one of the ‘rapefugees’. The Rusaki questioned the child, decided that enough was enough. So they sent out 140 cars in the blackest of the German night. They found the ‘migrant center’ where the ‘rapefugees’ were staying. They stepped out of the car (3-4 men per car), held baseball bats, brass knuckles, and other implements. They went into the ‘center’ and assaulted many of the ‘rapefugees’. They knew that raping a 13-year-old child is a crime yet one of them had the nerve to call the police and say, “Help! We’re being hurt here! We’ve got a lot of people here hurting all of us!”

What did they expect? That the Rusaki would lie down and weep over that 13-year-old child’s lost childhood? No. They listened to her, formed around her, and was family to her. They did what any sensible family member would have done and sent a message across Germany: “Do not mess with us. We are the Rusaki. We are Russians who emigrated here. Anyone who touches a Russian child will deal with all of us.”
I don’t see Muslims acting like that for non-Muslims in England when the Rotterham scandals surfaced.
@Mike Pouraryan
I am aware of ‘peaceful’ Muslim sects like Almahdis. Do you know who the Almahdis are? They don’t fight. They debate not with the sword but with the pen. That’s who the Almahdis are. The better part? They actually integrate within their host country, take up allegiance to said host country, and remain within it. They do not sell out the country for another. How many Almahdis are there in Germany? I don’t know.
Here’s the problem with Dalia Mogahed. I know that ISIS does not represent all of Islam. I know that Islam is not a religion of peace, is very divisive, is not the fastest growing religion, and could not be united. However, I also know that Muslims who want to speak out, i.e. Dalia Mogahed, are ineffective overall.
Why is that? I severely criticize Islam for very good reasons. Here are a list of grievances that I lodge against Islam:
1) Where are the murderers of Van Gogh, the Charlie Hebdo journalists, and many others who were simply killed for printing a Mohammed cartoon? Where are they? They should be turned in by Muslims, boosting world confidence and awareness that terrorism isn’t entirely home-grown among Muslim families.
2) Where are the Muslims who should have severely beaten, reported, and turned in those who were involved with the Rotterham scandal (1,400 children were being sexually abused by Muslims)?
3) Where were the Muslims, when saying that ISIS is not Muslim, taking up arms and following tanks into battle to slaughter ISIS like it was nothing? We’re talking about 1.4 billion Muslims in the world. If they say they’re united, why are they not bombing the hell out of ISIS and declaring that Muslims will kill anyone who attempts to subvert the “Faith” or represent Islam in a ideological sinister way?
4) Simply lodging papers, articles, and more by Islamic scholars do nothing. In fact, even though it’s uplifting to know that the scholars have corrected ISIS in their mistakes, they still do nothing. They’re passive, even though there’s a larger number of Muslims who could have contained the ‘rapefugee’ problem in Europe by forming patrols, beating the crap out of ‘Muslims’, and turning them in to respective national police.
5) When Muslims integrate to a country, they do not turn to Sharia law to complement their lives. They must obey our laws. They must obey the host countries’ laws. If any Muslim cannot obey our laws, attempt to subvert it in favor of their own, I believe the country should have the right to sack them out of the country if necessary. Obey or be expelled for life, period.
Also, check the real reason why Muslims don’t do anything and why the world is hating on Islam for many good reasons.

Doing TedTalks won’t help boost the world’s confidence in Muslims. Do you know what boosts their positive image? Whacking ISIS like it’s child’s play, restoring Syria back to normalcy, and beating the crap out of the ‘rapefugees’ then turning them in to national police. Do you see any Muslims doing that?
What about Sweden? Too far lost as too many Muslims are willing to exploit Western sensibilities, take advantage of the laws, and keep upholding their own.

Who’s Flyboy?
FYI for all: https://www.ted.com/talks/dalia_mogahed_what_do_you_think_when_you_look_at_me
Flyboy, See the MANY reports of Christians courageously standing up to Muslims. You make many stupid comments. The stupidity being more hate related than regarding intelligence. But, this recent comment about Christians is one of your more hatefully stupid!!
