The Islamic Jihad Conquest Formula

I read Western Rifle Shooters Association every day, but their mission and ours rarely overlap, so I don’t quote them very often.

Today, however, Matthew Bracken has written an excellent essay entitled “The Islamic Jihad Conquest Formula”. Some excerpts are below:

Mohammed’s unchanging formula for conquest is time-proven; variations were also used in history by the invading Mongol hordes among others. Emissaries ride forward of their advancing armies, offering to spare the lives of the targeted population in return for their unconditional surrender and explicit submission to their new rulers. In the Islamic context this submission is exemplified by the fresh converts repeating the Shahada prayer before Muslim witnesses.

There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his messenger.

The Shahada prayer is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam. The Shahada prayer is also what is written on the black battle flags of Islamic jihad. Along with Allahu Akbar — our God is greatest — the Shahada is the battle cry of advancing Islamic armies. In fact, the very word Islam means submission, and not peace, as it is often intentionally mistranslated by duplicitous Muslims practicing taqiya, or sanctified lying for the cause of advancing the spread of Islam.

It’s purposefully made very easy for a town or a city to submit and convert to Islam. But the entire city must surrender without posing any resistance at all. In the event of any violent or even physical resistance, a new formula applies: the Islamic jihad conquest formula. From the time of Mohammed until today — as we are seeing in the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq — the formula has not changed.

1. During the battle and immediately afterward, there is a period of unbelievable savagery and wanton hyper-violence.

Any of the defeated population from infants to grandmothers may be subjected to the most extreme cruelty, including beheading with knives or swords, crucifixion, being burned or buried alive, or thrown down wells or off cliffs or high walls. During this period, women, girls and boys are routinely gang-raped by frenzied jihadists, to the point that survivors almost always suffer lifelong crippling internal and external injuries. Suicide among the survivors of these savage gang rapes is common. The Christian and Zahidi girls and boys in Northern Iraq are only the most recent victims of this traditional Muslim depraved cruelty.

Those who survive until the victorious jihadists have consolidated their hold and sated their blood-lusts are the fortunate ones. They may have caught a potential protector’s eye, or hidden themselves until the jihadists’ most bloodthirsty passions have subsided. No jihadists will ever be called to account by Muslim jihad leaders for their atrocities committed during the battle and victory consolidation phase.

For the first time in history, today we are seeing what the previous millions of victims of Muslim conquests have experienced for 1,400 years. The recent beheadings and crucifixions in Syria and Iraq are not new or novel. What is new and novel is that today these Muslim jihad atrocities are being filmed and transmitted for the purpose of spreading the propaganda of Islamic State terror, to encourage their next intended targets to submit and surrender without resistance.

2. Captured men will be beheaded, shot or enslaved.

Following a fresh conquest, when the defeated men are tied up, imprisoned, or held under the barrels of Muslim guns, they may either be murdered or enslaved. Their fate depends upon the tactical situation and the best advantage as perceived by the victors. If the Muslim victory is thought to be temporary, the jihadists will immediately murder all of the men and boys over the age of twelve, eliminating them as future threats. They may be beheaded if there is sufficient time, otherwise they will be shot in ditches as we have recently seen in Iraq. The heads of the decapitated will be stuck on poles, fences or walls as a gruesome public warning against further resistance by the living.

If the latest jihad victory is thought to be secure and slave labor is desired, the captured men and boys will be fettered in chains and put to work under conditions similar to those experienced by slave laborers under the Nazis during World War Two. They may be fed or starved at the sole discretion of their new overlords. They may be worked fifteen or more hours a day, every day, in all weather and climates with no shoes, gloves, coats or hats. Often they will be both starved and overworked to the extent that a significant percentage of them will perish every month. When these wretched slaves are too weak to haul boulders or dig trenches, they may be executed at the sole discretion of their overlords. No discipline will ever be meted out for starving, beating or killing “infidel” slave laborers.

3. Women and teenage girls will be kidnapped as sex-slaves, to be sold at auction to the highest bidders.

The prettier young women and girls will be fortunate to become the concubine of one powerful man. The plainer women and girls will be sold as house or field slaves, doing fifteen or more hours of hard work every remaining day of their lives: hauling water, cleaning floors, cooking and so on. They may be raped, starved, beaten or killed at the whim of their owners. They may be subjected to forced female genital mutilation — the razor-blade excision of their clitoris and other horrors — depending on the whims of their new masters. No discipline will ever be applied to their masters. They are chattel property with no rights at all.

[…]

8. The lure of capturing male and female slaves and obtaining other forms of loot and plunder is the Islamic jihad conquest formula.

Average men in polygamous Muslim societies have little hope of obtaining a wife, not when the wealthy and powerful already have several wives apiece. Jihad offers ordinary Muslims a chance to obtain wives or sex-slave concubines by force in battle, or 72 virgins in the afterlife. Jihad also offers poor Muslims a chance to obtain a home and other forms of wealth by force, as we are seeing today in Iraq.

Unlike Christianity with its Golden Rule, Islam has always appealed to the worst desires of evil men, and the most ruthlessly evil men, like its originator Mohammed, are its greatest beneficiaries. Normal human beings ask the question: what kind of a sick and twisted so-called “religion” promises its highest rewards in exchange for engaging in organized looting, mass murder, mass rape, torture and slavery in the name of its god? Only Islam, which has been an insane rape and murder cult since Mohammed crawled out of the bat cave and barked at the crescent moon.

Moses and Jesus are reported to have climbed to the tops of high mountains to communicate with God. Just who was whispering the gospel of plunder, rape and murder into Mohammed’s ear, deep under the surface of the earth in that dark Saudi Arabian cave?

Who taught Mohammed the Islamic jihad conquest formula?

Read the rest at WRSA, including:

4.   Children younger than twelve will be kidnapped and raised under Sharia law by the very men who murdered or enslaved their parents.
5.   Conquered property will be looted as legitimate war booty.
6.   The promised Islamic reward for dying in jihad is a perpetual orgy in “paradise” with 72 virgins.
7.   The Black Flag of Jihad has been the battle flag of Islam from the time of Mohammed until today.

  1. This is a good post Baron. It lays bare Islam and what it stands for. It is a pity though, that the article does not go into strategic detail of how Islam wages war on the battlefield when facing the infidel army that is against it. Hopefully, Israel is now learning a current and valuable lesson when fighting Islam and why Islam will call for a ‘truce’ and then break it. Truces allow Islam to gain an advantage, and the minute they have gained their goal, they will immediately return to the fighting without warning.

    But the above should have been taught at military academies throughout the West for it is only by knowing the enemy that the enemy can then defeated.

    A number of other points that could have been covered.

    1. Islam plays only by its rules and respects no others. Our rules of engagement hinder us from taking the real fight to the enemy on the battlefield – they must be abandoned.

    2. We must purge all Muslims that hold sensitive positions within government and its bureaucracies.

    3. Islam cannot be trusted. That must be the very first lesson that military commanders have burned into their brains.

    4. Prisoners should never be taken nor should the Muslim incapacitated through battle be permitted to live. No one can counter the belief of a fundamentalist Muslim. They are fanatics, and there is only one sure way of dealing with fanatics.

    • Meditation along lines parallel to your point 2 above:

      >” We must purge all Muslims that hold sensitive positions within government and its bureaucracies.”

      has led me to conclude that the defense of America requires us to obtain a Supreme Court ruling that Islam is not a religion in the legal sense.

      Such a ruling being impossible, given the current composition of the Court, it will be necessary to pass a Constitutional amendment to the same effect, through the Article V process, upon the application of two thirds of the states.

      Failing that, we will stumble on the final clause of Article VI:

      >”but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

  2. “Who taught Mohammed the Islamic jihad conquest formula?

    I’d say he was channeling Satan, or Satan had entered him, references of which occurrences are replete in Holy Scripture, but few which demonstrate as much fusion with the father of lies and murder as do those who worship Satan’s chief representative on earth, the murder cult, Islam.

    Mohammed, BTW, is already enjoying (or not) his eternal suffering in the real hell that exists. And Jehovah is God: there is no other.

    And Baron: I know you’re trying really hard to welcome unbelievers here, as displayed in your reference to things like this (my paraphrase): whether you worship God or the moon god.

    That is not helpful. Moon God worshippers will suffer the same fate as Mohammed and his band of vile savages.

    If you’re sitting on the fence, and by your cavalier treatment of the eternal fate of your readers it seems you are, I want to encourage you to settle in your own mind what is true and what is not.

    Consider this a friendly warning. And be aware that the greatest service you can do for your readers is to direct their thoughts heavenward — this world will end, and we are confirmed in the certainty that everyman’s life will end one day. What then?

    Can’t help it — I am compelled.

    • To my knowledge, I have never said anything resembling “whether you worship God or the moon god”. Please quote the exact sentence you are referring to, so I can defend it (or not).

      What I said at the beginning of last night’s essay was this:

      “Or, if you are an atheist or secular and uncomfortable with theological imagery: Dr. Frankenstein’s monster has escaped the laboratory and is rampaging across the landscape.”

      Nothing at all like what you just said. It was simply a switch into the secular vernacular for readers who prefer things that way.

      And yes, I welcome atheists, despite what I consider their misguided lack of belief. We need their help. Ditto for Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc.

      Our Savior welcomed tax collectors and dined with sinners, because they were the ones who needed Him the most. How can we do any less than live by His example?

      • I thought it was the “spaghetti god”…or some other reference to an atheistic impasta. In the tense battle in human consciousness and history between Totality and Infinity, I am humbly compelled to affiliate with the latter. Alas, this (Israeli) Jew is a disciple of Eric Voegelin and Emmanuel Levinas…and a transcendental humanist–and a reader of your fine blog!

        • Ah, yes, I remember using a sardonic reference to the “flying spaghetti monster” or whatever they call him. It was a sarcastic dig at Mark H.

          I didn’t know Christians weren’t allowed to employ sarcasm. I shall have to enforce a tighter theological discipline upon myself in future.

          Deadpan irony in particular must be scrupulously eschewed.

          • Jesus did command us to “pray for those who persecute you,” which is rather obvious because they are unable to pray for themselves. The Romans who occupied Israel during Jesus’ time were bullies, but at least they were disciplined. Sadly, the same cannot be said for those who follow the prophet. Islam the religion of Satan, and that can be readily discerned by its works and its credo.

            John 10:10
            “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

            Contrast the behavior of Satan, the thief, with that of Jesus Christ. Contrast also the behavior of Islamists with the behavior of Christians.
            Is it any wonder that Satan will be chained in darkness for 1000 years while Jesus Christ reigns on the Earth. After that and the Final Day of Judgment Satan will be thrown into the Lake of Fire to dwell there for an eternity. So it is not surprising that he is trying to get his licks in while he can.

            Pause and consider this however, burning heat, torment, and full awareness with mind-numbing regret and remorse, forever. Chillingly Frightening.

          • The FSM was invented (would “revealed” be too ironic?) in a campaign against the teaching of creationism in schools, I believe in Kansas c 2005.

      • That warms the heart. The reference I paraphrased was from perhaps a week ago; please forgive me for not remembering it precisely.

        As a nation, yes, we need the help of those whose alarm at civilization’s crumbling in the face of murdering hordes mirrors our own. I will henceforth try to remember that this valuable website does not exist to evangelize the lost. Thank you for taking the time to consider my inelegant rant.

        • Well, when the theistic arrows start flying in the comments here, sometimes you’d think we were evangelizing. T’aint so. Such things are private decisions, though they do need a deliberate social context – e.g., worship communities. Once known as churches but I’m not sure that word is allowed anymore. Or heaven forefend, synagogues.

  3. May I add one more point, as an addition to point 8. Once all these women have been kidnapped, or “married”, and the men executed, what happens to the next generation – the offspring of these women? Are these not ensured to be on the side of the Muslims – and hence Islam’s power is consolidated, through a vast increase in the Muslim demographics?

    I recall reading a text about a Muslim army, around 20 years on from Mohammed’s life, having hundreds of thousands of fighters, when their elders had just a few… could the “Islamic Jihad conquest formula” mentioned here not be the very reason that their numbers increased so exponentially?

    To address another point – “Just who was whispering the gospel of plunder, rape and murder into Mohammed’s ear, deep under the surface of the earth in that dark Saudi Arabian cave?”

    Could this have been the very same “voice” as was whispering into the ears of Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Stalin and Hitler? Namely – the voice of greed, power, lust, and a desire of world domination that’s spoken to every megalomaniac on this planet? Only that for the Romans, demographics were the reason for their decline – there were too few of them, and they were too busy drinking, partying and advancing through the Roman class system… whereas could the Muslims, through the pattern discussed here of conquer-rape-enslave, not have found the perfect formula not just to conquer, but to ensure that their conquest has an even bigger impact in the demographics of the future generations?

  4. Thank you very much for posting my column. In response to a very good question on the Free Republic thread, I posted this answer. I would like to also post it here in the comments as an addendum. (I am not agreeing that the Moors in Spain were particularly tolerant, but I conceded the point to make a larger point.)

    Q: The case has been made, even by some conservatives, that the Moorish period in Spain was a golden period. Jews and Christians were treated with tolerance, but the Spanish people that pushed out the Moors, treated them with contempt and intolerance. I wonder, is this revisionism, or is there some truth to it?

    A. Under Islam there have been varying high and low periods, also varying from place to place. For example, under the rule of Sultan Mulay Ismail in 18th Century Morocco, the hard labor was all done by black and white slaves who perished in droves in extreme misery, under conditions like those experienced by Jews under the Nazis. Sultan Ismail was a Hitler who survived as absolute ruler for more than 60 years. Great miles-long palaces were built on the bones of slave labor.

    Or an absolute ruler might turn out to be a gem, an enlightened gentleman for the age, yes, that happened and the hard edge of Sharia was sometimes blunted. But always and every time, in every century, the end of a ruler meant the high chance of a bloodbath, and the next ruler could be a blood brother of Mohammed, or al Queda, or IS.

    It is always a danger that this 7th Century fanaticism will break out, it has happened over and over through history. Islam cannot have a reformation that “sticks” beyond an enlightened ruler or two, because there are always determined mullahs of the Khomeini or Bagdadi stripe ready to grab power as the new Sultan or even Caliph. Bagdadi is merely the latest in a long line. Eruptions of 7th Century fervor are always a risk in Islam.

    I’ll give you a real world example. Morocco is presently very politely Westernized, insofar as any Muslim country can be. The hip young king even married a red-headed Berber wife who looks like Maureen O’Sullivan, God help me. She appears with him in Western dresses with flowing tresses. He is making a point. One wife, hair out, shoulders in dress like Paris. It is a signal, one of many. Surfers from Europe flock to Moroccan waves, tourists flock along the promenades. European bathing suits and customs are tolerated along the beach strips. You can buy wine and beer at shops run by Christians, near the beaches.

    But brother, it could turn on a dime, and the enlightened king can be beheaded and replaced by a spiritual brother of Bagdadi, swearing allegiance to the new IS caliphate. Don’t rule it out, ever. Every century or two there is a new self-proclaimed Mahdi. Bagdadi is calling himself the Caliph, and all must swear loyalty to him. The black flag with the white ball logo is his personal mark, to distinguish it from generic Al Queda or Hamas black flag with the shahada all on one line.

    Islam is unreformable. Its unchangeable blueprint–the Koran–always gives a handle to maniacs who can recruit armies of brainwashed killer zombie mutant humanoids.

    • One point, Mr. Bracken: an Islamic “reformation” does not lead in the same general direction as the Protestant Reformation.

      A reformation in Christianity returns to the words of Jesus Christ, which tend to result in greater tolerance, compassion, and patient forbearance.

      A reformation in Islam returns to the words of Allah as transmitted to the world through Mohammed, which tend to result in massacre, rape, multilation, beheadings, and enslavement.

      A reformation of Islam is underway right now. Some people date its beginnings to the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1920s. Since then it has been purging itself over and over again, until it reached an unalloyed purity in the Islamic State, which follows the original Islam as closely as any political movement has for the past thousand years.

      ISIS has pronounced takfir against the Muslim Brotherhood itself, and promised a just punishment. That is how pure they are.

      • Outbreaks of 7th Century Muslim fanaticism are nothing new. They have recurred throughout history. This is one of the inherent dangers of Islam. Periods of “enlightened rule” depend on one tolerant ruler, and when he is dead or murdered, all bets are off.

        • Yes, this is quite true. The current outbreak of fundamental Islamic purity is exceptional for modern times, though. I’m not certain when the last similar eruption happened, but it was at least several hundred years ago. Unless you count the Mahdi craze in the Sudan back in the 1880s — but that was brief and localized. ISIS looks much more significant, at least so far.

          • I am getting glimpses of the old British Empire’s fight against Islam in my ‘new’ book:

            Churchill: A Life

            Gilbert covers Churchill’s time in Afghanistan, India, and of course Sudan. Churchill throughout his military service in “Asia” was utterly appalled by Mohammedans. However he thought it was a mistake to raze the Sudanese shrine to Mahdi because of its obvious cultural importance to the people. In a sea of misery, that shrine stood out. Destroying it cost the Empire in the long run.

            This book isn’t hagiography. I’m still on the young Winston in his 20s. A self-promoter anxious to do well by doing good. In his case, he was more than willing to beat his cavalry sword into a ballot box; thus all his reportage from the scene and his machinations to stand for office when a vacancy came up and he could get home in time.

            We sure could use someone like him now…full of vinegar and ready to take on the promotion of the English Empire, complete with alliances to other Anglo countries and disdain for the desert tribe religion. The current political atmosphere would kill him off, as it will the few worthies we have still extant.

  5. Nice post. Yet I’m slightly bothered by one pesky detail. Can anyone point at sources corroborating the origin of the jolly Roger being in the black flag of Jihad? I would actually be impressed if that were true.

  6. Benox, pirates in the early 1600s were not known for citing their references. But it’s an undisputed fact that the Black Flag of Jihad was flown by Muslim corsairs before the Western pirate era beginning then. It’s an undisputed fact that Europeans captured by corsairs sometimes converted to Islam and joined “sea jihad” pirate crews, and even became captains. See “The Sack of Baltimore Ireland 1631” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Baltimore

    The corsair captain who raided Ireland and took away over 100 captives for slavery in Algiers was a Dutch renegade convert to Islam named Jan Janszoon, AKA Murad Rais. The “sea jihad” flag they flew was the black flag with the scimitar. You will see it on any list of pirate flags, but it obviously predates the Western pirate era.

    Perhaps it’s a pure coincidence that the black scimitar “sea jihad” flag existed before the many variations of the Western black pirate flags, but I doubt it.

    • ‘Baltimore’ – From the Irish Gaelic – ‘An Bailte Mhoir’ – meaning the ‘Big Town’.

      Bailte=Town
      Mhoir=Big

      Any collection of residences and institutions of commerce; in the context of rural Ireland, were referred to as ‘An Bailte Mhoir’ by those of rural existence. The farmer would say: Ta me ag dul go dti an Bailte Mhoir/ I’m going to the big town…to buy cattle. Anything bigger than the farm was considered ‘Big’.

      There are few urban collections actually named ‘Baltimore’ in Ireland; but in native parlance anything bigger than the farm is ‘An Bailte Mhoir’. The English name for Irish place names derives from how the English phonetically mispronunced the tongue-tying Irish names. Here are some others:

      Belfast – ‘Beal Na Feiriste’ – The mouth (Beal) of the river Feiriste

      Donegal – ‘Dun Na nGall’ Dun (Den or Fort of the Gall/Foreigner (typically Vikings)

      Dublin – ‘An Dubh (Black) Linn (Pool)’ – not to be confused with Blackpool in England. Dublin has a second Gaelic name – Baile Átha Cliath – ‘Town by the Ford (shallow water)’.

      Done from memory so forgiveness requested for small inaccuracies.

  7. Muhammad’s “last will and testament” is Surah 9 (Repentance) in the Quran. Here
    are just 14 verses which describe exactly what ISIS is doing:

    1. No agreements are valid with idolaters (which includes Jews and Christians as explained in 9:30). (9:3
    2. Slay the idolaters wherever you find them. (9:5)
    3. Do not make friends with non-Muslims (9:23)
    4. Idolaters (including Jews and Christians) are filth – najisun. (9:28)
    5. Fight Jews and Christians until they become Muslims or pay tribute in utter humiliation. (9:29)
    6. Islam must be triumphant over all other religions. (9:33)
    7. There is no “sacred month” in which fighting non-Muslims is forbidden. (9:36)
    8. Using a solar calendar (like the one used in the West) is a “grossly impious practice.” (9:37)
    9. If you don’t fight against non-Muslims, you will be sternly punished and others will replace you. (9:39)
    10. Whether unarmed or well-equipped, fight for the cause of Allah with your money and your persons. (9:41)
    11. Charitable contributions shall be used to advance Islam, among other things. (9:60)
    12. Muslims are called to “kill and be killed,” and for this they will be rewarded paradise. (9:111)
    13. Provoking non-Muslims is a good deed in the sight of God. (9:121)
    14. Muslims are called to make war on all infidels who dwell around them. (9:123)

    • The thing about Quranic verses is – chronology matters… If 2 verses seem contradictory, later verses are considered to be more important than earlier ones (the concept of abrogation).

      And, as it turns out, Quran chapter 9, written during the Medinan period (after the Meccan period) is considered to be the second-last chapter of the Quran. (something I just discovered!)

      As if to reiterate the point, the wikipedia article on abrogation has the following example, of how it was used, during Mohammed’s time itself:

      “Many verses counsel patience in the face of the mockery of the unbelievers, while other verses incite to warfare against the unbelievers. The former are linked to the [chronologically anterior] Meccan phase of the mission when the Muslims were too few and weak to do other than endure insult; the latter are linked to Medina where the Prophet had acquired the numbers and the strength to hit back at his enemies. The discrepancy between the two sets of verses indicates that different situations call for different regulations.[8]”

      (apparently from the “Encyclopaedia of Islam” – compounded by scholars over many which for much of recent history has been considered to be the primary reference on Islam.)

      To conclude – the Quran says “fight the infidels” after it says any nicer things about them, and Mohammed himself hit back at the infidels, as soon as he was stronger than them…

      Somehing perhaps to bear in mind, the next time someone says something about knowing “peaceful passages” from the Quran? 😉

    • The other thing about Quranic verses is – infidels are often accused of “mistranslating” them. Well, here is Quran 9:29 – from alislam.org – a website which appears to be none other than the “official website of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community”… (can’t get more “moderate” or “peaceful” than the Ahmadiyyas, can we?)

      from: alislam.org/quran/search2/showChapter.php?submitCh=Read+from+verse%3A&ch=9&verse=27

      [9:29] Fight those from among the People of the Book who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor hold as unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have declared to be unlawful, nor follow the true religion, until they pay the tax with their own hand and acknowledge their subjection.

      If even the Ahmadiyyas acknowledge that Muslims should “fight those from among the People of the Book who believe not in Allah, nor follow the true religion [Islam?!]” – then what doubt can there be as to the intentions of 9:29?!

  8. Some additional specifics to munch on:

    The Long Arm of Qatar

    for instance:

    Infiltration of the Military Academies & CIA

    Wait a minute… why was the former Emir of Qatar at West Point anyway, when that Bergdahl deal was struck? He was at the graduation of his son! This may surprise you, but American military academies regularly accept foreign cadets. It is done for a variety of reasons, including building better relations and cross-service training. As Qatar is a close American ally, the fact that Hamad Victor Nazim, younger brother of the current Emir, graduated from America’s most prestigious military academy is in itself not scandalous. But considering who Qatar supports – al Qaeda, the Taliban, and IS[IS] – the newest graduate from “Harvard on the Hudson” should raise some very serious security concerns for our military.”

  9. Bravo, Baron, for such a clear description. Special bravo for the clear articulation of the “period of hyperviolence”. Indeed, if you read the Islamic chronicles, written by Islamic historians who accompanied their invading kings to India during the middle ages, you will find gory descriptions of this period. It is written with great pride and glee–how the “kafir Hindu wretches” were tortured and murdered in tens and hundreds of thousands. How their women were raped, how their children were killed. The general formula seems to have been 3-7 days of this after the fall of a city. Only after that, were the remaining populace “allowed” to convert to Islam to save their lives. Those that did not were beheaded.

    This gruesome routine happened literally at thousands of places in India.

    The Hindu response was fanatical. 2 particular rites should be mentioned. “Jauhar” was the rite where thousands of Hindu women would simply jump into a large pyre rather than be taken by the moslems. It was accompanied by “saka” where all Hindu males aged 8 and above would wear saffron clothes (the Hindu color of sacrifice) and ride into certain death to meet their foes. Jauhar-saka happened at thousands of places in India. I recently discovered that 80 Kms from my home, it happened (in 1580AD).

    The most famous Jauhar-saka happened at the Fort of Chittor, also around that time.

    These Islamic barbarians must be stopped. I was praying for the Yazidis, knowing that their fear would be exactly what my own people faced for centuries once their soldiers had been defeated in battle.

  10. Matthew Bracken of the Western Rifle Shooters Organization may also be interested to know that according to the Pact of Omar (an early medieval document, but its ostensibly outdated provenance as we know is hardly relevant to the IS Mohammedans who, in typically mainstream Islamic fashion, take seriously their texts of yore), the conquered dhimmis (i.e., those among the conquered whose lives have been spared) are not permitted to carry or own weapons of any kind

    The text on the Fordham university site has:

    We shall not mount on saddles, nor shall we gird swords nor bear any kind of arms nor carry them on our- persons.

    Interestingly, there’s a variant from another site, Wikislam:

    We [dhimmis] will not… hang swords on the shoulders, collect weapons of any kind or carry these weapons.

    Sigh; once again, the wonders of the Internet cannot seem to keep pace with the need for verifiable standardized data about something that should have been nailed down years ago. If anyone else has a definitive text of the Pact of Omar (“Umar” for those concerned to spell with Islamic correctness), I’d appreciate a link — and please, don’t bother unless it is actually definitive.

  11. Baron–re use of sarcasm by Christians, please note this quote:

    “For what is it wherein ye [the Corinthians] were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? [Paul worked as a tentmaker, and eschewed being supported by the Corinthian church] Forgive me this wrong!” (II Cor. 12:13)

    The Apostle himself was being at least mildly sarcastic, and under the influence of no-one less than the Holy Spirit (Flying Linguine Monster with less red pepper? Sorry, could’nt help myself, and even if I like spaghetti, I prefer linguine).
