Graphic Video: Muslims Slaughter "Apostate" in Tunisia...Is This Islam?

Liberal talk show host Tawfiq Okasha recently appeared on "Egypt Today," airing a video of Muslims slicing off a young man's head off for the crime of apostasy -- in this instance, the crime of converting to Christianity and refusing to renounce it. The video—be warned, it is immensely graphic—can be seen here (the actual execution appears from minute 1:13-4:00). For those who prefer not to view it, a summary follows:

A young man appears held down by masked men. His head is pulled back, with a knife to his throat. He does not struggle and appears resigned to his fate. Speaking in Arabic, the background speaker, or "narrator," chants a number of Muslim prayers and supplications, mostly condemning Christianity, which, because of the Trinity, is referred to as a polytheistic faith: "Let Allah be avenged on the polytheist apostate"; "Allah empower your religion, make it victorious against the polytheists"; "Allah, defeat the infidels at the hands of the Muslims," and "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger."

Then, to cries of "Allahu Akbar!"— Allah is greater!"—the masked man holding the knife to the apostate's throat begins to slice away, severing the head completely after approximately one minute of graphic knife-carving, as the victim drowns in blood. Finally, the severed head is held aloft to more Islamic slogans of victory.

Visibly distraught, Tawfiq Okasha, the host, asks: "Is this Islam? Does Islam call for this? How is Islam related to this matter?...These are the images that are disseminated throughout the electronic media in Europe and America…. Can you imagine?" Then, in reference to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis, whose political influence has grown tremendously, he asks, "How are such people supposed to govern?"

I will not soil my soul by watching this video....I will not give them a molecule of my soul by being part of their terror campaign...which is why they videoed it...

That being said... the question "Is this Islam" is a valid one...

I would think 90 plus % of Islam would be horrified just as the rest of civilization is watching this...and would condone this in the strongest way possible..

There is the rub...they don't for fear and ignorant cultural reasons...

If you were to ask Germans in the early thirties that their government and peoples would be responsible for starting WWII, 12 million deaths and the "Final Solution", I would think many would think you are crazy and needed to be institutionized...

But that is exactly what happened....though propaganda, fear, xenophobia, and a beguiled population... history proves..people are sheep and willing to follow the leadership down any path as long as they have security and feel their actions will keep them safe...

Imagine if the plots against NAZI and Hitler worked when this evil was just being birthed....the world would be a far different place..

"Is this Islam" ? I would say No.....but can easily be the face of Islam if we as the west do make it possible for the AQ or the MB to flourish...

Thanks to Obama and his insane ME polices we are losing this battle daily...and will reap the whirlwind...

Some years ago, I inadvertently (really) stumbled onto a video of some Afghan mujahadeen severing the head off a young Russian soldier using what appeared to be a dull knife. I’m pretty hardened to this world, but I readily admit it drew tears to my eyes. I wish I had never seen it. I will never again watch such a thing. It just does something to your very soul.

I watched the beheading of Nick Berg and it seems to be burned into my eye balls. Once seen can never be taken out of your head.

But I don't regret watching it ONE time, so that I will never forget the Pieces of Islam.

interesting observation i didnt know about the koran. i wish this was mentioned broadly like kardashian tabloids, then i think many people would think twice about this so-called “religion of peace.” i feel sorry for this dude, may we see him in heaven for finding the light of Christ

"Are there cluster nukes????"

There are MIRV's (Multiple Independently targetable Re-entry Vehicle) on the Trident D-5's that would do the trick. The D-5 can carry upto 12, but because of the START/SORT treaties they are reduced to 4 or 5 warheads

"When can we launch??"

As long as that treasonous 0bama is in office.... Never.

Ah what a beautiful sight: Now imagine a muzzie city or religious site at the end of each of those streaks, followed by a bright flash and looming mushroom cloud.

If GWB had any balls the War on Terror could have been over within 30 minutes of the first tower collapsing.

thxs, for showing the true meaning/nature of the (gutter) religion of Islam.
"may all "rutting" swine/canines defecate upon it's adherents and it's chief prophet
(Muhammad/Mahammed) be "serviced" by swine &/ canines every available hour."

I saw the body of a young Indonesian Christian girl laying on the autopsy table. This young girl was one of three who had been waylaid on their way to school and beheaded. Only hell could think of such evil.

Originally the video is from Syria - it is the Free Syrian Army, killing a Shia.
