There are Things One Cannot Unsee

Today I watched the torture and desecration of the living body of a Jordanian pilot murdered by ISIS.  I can not unsee this barbarism.  I watched it on the website of Walid Shoebat, a former radical Muslim who found Christ.

To the mother of the pilot, my heart breaks for you.  My prayers cover you.

To those who say this is an unprecedented level of vileness--read your history.  On Shoebat's website he notes that the ISIS capturers asked followers to submit their suggestions on to kill the pilot.  The way chosen was not the most barbaric suggestion. Think about this...burning a man alive was not the most barbaric suggestion.  Women, mothers, made even viler suggestions.

To the rest of us I say--know you enemy.  This is a primitive, barbaric enemy who is not dazzled by our let's fight a kind war, can't we all just get along idiocy.  Our enemy is fueled by religious zeal and a need for us to submit or die.  Submit to Islam, or die.  Are you willing to denounce your religion for peace? 

Islam means submission from the word al-slim.

ISIS stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

Yes, Mr. President, these are devout Muslims. They are practicing their religion as fundamentalist.

What part of religious war are you having problems understanding?

Qur'an 2:191-192 




Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.
And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

Please tell me Coexist bumper sticker people, where is your coexistence in these statements.

I urge all to see the  video, in order to understand that this is an enemy with whom the is no diplomacy, no-coexistence.   Prepare...for this is the war of a lifetime, and our leaders are either blind or complicit. 

Let us not have another mother watch her child die like this.
