The Jawa Report: Taliban Releases New Beheading Video from Waziristan (Images)
The propaganda arm of the Taliban, Ummat Studios, has released a new propaganda video of alleged criminals who have been beheaded or otherwise killed in Waziristan. Graphic images from the video are posted below.
The high-production value video warns Muslims against cooperating with ‘apostate’ regimes, such as Pakistan’s Pervez Musharraf and praises violent jihad. The video quotes the Quran and sayings of the Prophet Muhammed to justify the killing of what are allegedly highway robbers and other common criminals. It shows their mutilated bodies being displayed as a warning to crowds of people. The underlying warning is that the same fate awaits those who would cooperate with secular regimes which will not implement harsh Sharia (Islamic) law.
Yale University has recently admitted a former top Taliban official. The images below are shocking and disgusting. We post them to help the reader become acquainted with the tactics of the Taliban. The video boasts of the beheadings. It boasts that this is what the Taliban are doing. This is what Islamic law looks like in practice. These are the enemies we are fighting in Afghanistan. This is what the ‘insurgents’ in Iraq would like to do if they ever came to power. These are the ‘freedom fighters’ lauded by the Left.WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES BELOW. DO NOT PROCEED IF UNDER 18. DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO SEE WHAT OUR ENEMIES ARE CAPABLE OF. DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD BECOME OF OUR ALLIES IF WE WERE TO ABANDON THEM.
Last night we received a video that I’m told is from al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia, and that it focuses on Fahd Farraj al-Juweir, the former Emir of al-Qaeda in the Land of Mohammed, who was killed two weeks ago in the failed attack on the Abqaig oil facility. We’ve converted the file to a standard WMV format for viewing.Accompanying the video we received were three documents, all in Arabic, one of which is dated yesterday.
Video here — Document 1 — Document 2 — Document 3
UPDATE @ 9:26am: The video is legit. How long before the attack Juweir recorded his message is unknown, though the video was in fact released yesterday.
“To Americans we tell you to leave Mohammed’s peninsula (Saudi Arabia), and leave all Muslim lands. Stop aiding Jews in Palestine and stop aiding Christians in Muslim lands or else you will face killing, destruction and bombings,” said Juweir, who was on a most wanted list of al-Qaeda suspects.
And lastly, Vital Perspective also posted The Hamas Chater Preamble.
[Hamas] joins arms with all those who wage jihad for the liberation of Palestine. The souls of its jihad fighters meet the souls of all those jihad fighters who sacrificed their lives for the land of Palestine, from the time when the Prophet’s companions conquered it until the present.” It characterizes a “fight with the Jews” as “very extensive and very grave, and it requires all the sincere efforts.”
The religion of peace looks like very warmonger to me… Should we really be allies of them, Mr. Zapatero?

[...] Afghan Man who converted to Christianity could be sentenced to death Pastorius has posted it in IBA with a very good comment. This is the type of things that make me feel really bad. Are really the Afghans and in general, the people of the Muslim countries prepared to know and to want democracy and human rights? Reading people as Sandmonkey (who has started a new blog outside blogger) or Freedom for Egytians or Eteraz -now one of my colleagues at IBA-, even if sometimes we don’t agree , I believe it. Because they recognise that the rest can have another ideas and opinions, and that is the base of democracy. I mean, only if you think that all people are equal, and as a result, can have an opinion just as valid as yours, democracy can function. If not, when you just position yourself above the rest, just judging as “commoners” all people that surrounds you and then thinking you above them all, the problems begin, and much more when that is not a personal problem BUT the problem of people who thinks of themselves as an elite. Precisely the equality in front of the law, the free press and the freedom of expression only were born in Europe when the classes, as compartimental groups which cannot be penetrated, dissappeared. The reason is obvious: if there are people in society which are above the rest, this people also cannot be critisized, and then the press cannot be free and the citizens cannot say freely what they think. But when you see news like this -or the one that I just posted here only days ago about the Taliban’s justice-, I just doubt it. Because this people are only grounding their points of view in a religious book, and the religion, although lived in community with people of your same faith, is a personal election, and so cannot be elevated to the category of principle that should determine the aplicable law to a citizen. I think Ronald Dworkin says it better than me, speaking about the Danish cartoons (HT: Pia Causa): But religion must observe the principles of democracy, not the other way around. No religion can be permitted to legislate for everyone about what can or cannot be drawn any more than it can legislate about what may or may not be eaten. No one’s religious convictions can be thought to trump the freedom that makes democracy possible.” [...]
