Iranians Burn the Koran
This very interesting video shows two young Iranian men burning a Koran, apparently in Iran. If they get caught, they are going to be in deep trouble. I wonder if they are Muslims!?
Although you might think Koran-burning videos are not that shocking, a lot of Muslims are really outraged by them, with Al Qaeda and jihadi types frequently threatening to kill the people who burned the Koran. There are also a lot of calls to ban these videos.

Taliban Execute Two Afghan Women
This video sucks. The Taliban have captured two women in Afghanistan. The woman are accused of being prostitutes. As if that were not bad enough, they are accused of selling their bodies to US soldiers, so they are more or less spies or traitors. They put the women on the ground where they cry and plead for mercy. Then they shoot them to death with automatic weapons. The women crumple and die on the ground.
Fucked up to the max.

Muslims Shoot Christians in Egypt
This shocking video shows a shooting that occurred outside a Christian church in Egypt in early January. Muslims apparently drove by the church and opened fire on worshipers as they were leaving the church. Several Christians were killed or wounded in the attack, which took place in Upper Egypt. Muslims attack Christians in Egypt on a pretty regular basis.
The attack took place because of a controversy over a Christian man dating a Muslim woman. Dating between sects is a common cause of fighting between Muslims and Christians in Egypt, but the fights are usually instigated by the Muslims. A common line is, "The Christians are stealing our women."
There are also problems where Christian women supposedly convert to Islam but then are kidnapped by the Christian community and forced to reconvert to Christianity. Christian women are also kidnapped by Muslims on a frequent basis and forced to convert to Islam.

Kim Sun-Il Beheading Video
This is surely one of the most horrible beheading videos I have ever seen. I have only watched it once, soon after it came out. I had earlier watched the Nick Berg beheading video, and it had traumatized me badly for week or two afterward. Then I watched this video. It's way more fucked up than the Nick Berg video!
Kim Sun-Il was a young South Korean man with degrees in theology, English and Arabic from South Korean universities. The Arabic degree was a graduate degree.
He had hopes of becoming a missionary in the Middle East when he signed on with Gana General Trading, a South Korean company that was doing business with the US military as a contractor. He arrived in Iraq on June 15, 2003.
He worked as an Arabic translator for the US military until he was captured by guerrillas on May 30, 2004 in Fallujah by Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, Abu Musab Zarqawi's group that later became Iraqi Al Qaeda.
The group issued a demand of South Korea that they withdraw their 660 medics and military engineers already in the country and that they cancel plans to send another 3,000 troops. Otherwise, they would kill Sun-Il. The South Korean government denied the demands.
The group initially set a June 21 deadline for their demands to be met or they would kill Sun-Il. On June 22, Al Jazeera received a videotape of his brutal execution. His body was later found, but I am not sure where.
The video opens with Sun-Il seated on the ground in front of some Al Qaeda ogres dressed in black and wearing masks. One of them is reading from some script in Arabic. There is Arabic music in the background.
As they are reading in the script, Sun-Il, is, horribly, screaming over and over, ""I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" He is screaming it at the top of his lungs with all the passion you would expect of a man who knows he is doomed.
Finally they finish the speech and one guy grabs Sun-Il and pins him down as he struggles. The other guy pulls out a huge knife and saws the poor guy's head off as he screams. The head is quickly chopped off, then the bloody head is held up for all to see.
It's Sun-Il's head all right, but there are long trails of bloody entrails, guts looking things hanging off his head, the remains of his neck apparently. The entrails are swaying with the head and there is a huge amount of blood dripping off. Then you see the frozen expression on the chopped head. The bloody tissue swaying and dripping off the gross severed head really did it for me.
Truly horrible!
Fucked up!!!!!!!!!!!!
Islamists Publically Lash Woman for Wearing Trousers in Sudan
I am looking for translators to translate this post into German. Email me if you are interested.
Terrible case out of Sudan. Recently, a woman was publically flogged by laughing policemen for the crime of wearing trousers. Sudan has Islamic Law, or Sharia, and the wearing of trousers was said to violate Sudan's Sharia Code.
The video is very disturbing. The woman wails as she is whipped in front of a crowd. The policeman keeps on whipping her, and even seems to get into it as he laughs and ups the ante.
The woman's wails and screams are horrible. The lashes must have been very painful. She seems to be begging for mercy after the lashing has gone on for a bit.
Everyone in the video is Black, as even Northern Sudan is a Black region. Even though they are Black, North Sudanese consider themselves to be Arabs and are said to be part of the Arab World. There are definitely Black Arabs!

Aftermath of Domodedovo Airport Suicide Bombing
This short video is really gross. It shows the aftermath of the suicide attack on the Domodedovo Airport in Moscow on the afternoon of January 24, 2011,that killed 35 people and wounded about 115 more. The airport is Russia's largest. While security is good on planes themselves now, the airport waiting room is insecure. But this is true of most world airports.
A group called Nogaisky Dzhamaat or the Nogai Brigade is thought to be behind the blast. The Nogai Brigade practice strict Wahhabi Islam. The group emerged in the early 2000's in the Stavropol region of Russia and supports the Chechen independence struggle.
Their leader is a Slavic Muslim from Stravropol named Vitaly Razdobudko. He vanished along with his wife in October 2010. The Nogai are an ethnic group that lives in the Caucasus.
Whether or not the Nogai Brigade is made up of mostly Nogai fighters is not known, but the Nogai do live in the Stavropol region and the northern part of Dagestan. Some also live in Chechnya. They mostly reside in a place called the Nogai Steppe. Some Nogai have taken part in attacks, including suicide bombings, in Chechnya. The Nogai are Muslims, and they speak a Turkic tongue.
The Nogai Brigade is headquartered in Dagestan, which is increasingly Ground Zero for the Islamist insurgency in the Caucasus. The insurgency was originally an independence movement in Chechnya, but increasingly it has taken on Islamist tones, while it has spread from Chechnya to Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Kalmykia, Abkhazia, North Ossetia, the Stavropol Region and other parts of Russia.
It's basically a pan-Islamist insurgency among some of the Muslims of Russia spanning a wide region. They are still apparently fighting for independence for the majority Muslim republics of the Caucasus at the very least.
It's unknown who the bomber was. Some reports say it was a man and a woman, and other reports say it was only a man with a briefcase. Some reports say that the woman detonated the explosives, and others say that the man did in his briefcase. In any case, the man was decapitated by the blast. The 12 pound bomb was packed with nails and other shrapnel inducing items for maximum injury.
The video is pretty gross. It shows victims of the bombing lying on the ground and blood on the floor. Some of the victims appear to be dead.

Unedited Video of Saddam Hussein's Hanging
Video is no longer working, but the write-up should be interesting anyway.
Hat tip to the blog The Reaction for a link to the video, which I then embedded.
This is a video of the actual hanging of Saddam Hussein at a two-story building the Shia Khadamiya District in Baghdad at 6:10 AM on December 30, 2006, as shot surreptitiously by a cellphone camera held by one of those in attendance.
This is not the more tame video that is being shown on US TV but is instead the more gruesome video being shown on Arabic websites and now spreading virally around the web and the world.
In the video, Saddam was taunting and being taunted by some of those who were getting ready to hang him. As he was getting ready to be hung, he recited the Muslim prayer a couple of times. Saddam refused to wear a hood over his head and carried a Koran in his hand. His team of three black-hooded executioners (called a mashmawi) had noticeable Shia Southern Iraqi accents.
All of his executioners were members of the SCIRI political party, and they and his guards tormented Saddam in the six hours before his execution, refusing to let him sleep much by waking him up every half an hour to taunt him. One of the taunting executioners had the Shia sectarian name of "Ali The Butcher". Saddam reportedly refused a last meal of chicken the night before and asked only for a Koran.
At 5 AM, he was offered breakfast, but he refused and asked for a cigarette instead. The request for a cigarette was refused and he was taken to an execution cell where a judge read the details of the sentence to him and asked Saddam if he wanted to make a last statement.
While the judge was reading the verdict, Saddam periodically shouted out slogans, at one point yelling, "Long live Iraq! Long live the people! Long live the Palestinians!" He declined to make a final statement and was taken to the execution chamber.
The building where he was killed in Khadamiya was formerly used as a torture chamber by a special branch of Saddam's security forces that focused on the Shia fundamentalist Dawa political party. Indeed, some of the men present had been tortured by Saddam's thugs in this very building.
Nouri al-Maliki, the Prime Minister of Iraq, was a prominent member of Dawa and was himself sentenced to death in absentia by Saddam's regime in 1980 before he fled the country to Iran. Presently, Maliki is the head of the Dawa Party. Ibrahim Al-Jaafari is number 2 man in the party.
Dawa was even involved in the case for which Saddam was sentenced to death - the assassination attempt on Saddam in Dujail was carried out by Dawa. There are suggestions that Jaafari made the relatively minor Dujail case the focus of Saddam's trial as part of the Dawa versus Baath feud.
As you can see, this execution had strong elements of a revenge party attack on the Baath Party by the Dawa Party. Adding weight to this theory, the first tape showing Saddam's dead body in a coffin was leaked to the Dawa Party TV station.
Just before Saddam was killed, a Shia observer in attendance shouted, "Praise to Mohammad Baqir Al-Sadr!" The uncle of radical cleric Moqtada Sadr, Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir Al-Sadr was tortured to death by Saddam along with his sister in 1980.
One version says that Baqir was executed by first having a nail hammered into his head and then being set on fire. Another version, in Robert Pelton Young's World's Most Dangerous Places, has Saddam's henchman Chemical Ali personally strangling Baqir to death.
When you read the gruesome accounts of how Saddam's men killed Baqir, you can begin to see how the execution of Saddam was a nasty act of revenge by Baqir's followers for the gory killing of Baqir.
Baqir founded the Dawa Party and is revered by all the main Shia factions in Iraq - the SCIRI and Dawa political parties and the Mahdi Army. Baqir's son-in-law, Muqtada al-Sadr, is the young radical cleric whose forces, called the Mahdi Army, have repeatedly battled the US in Iraq. Moqtada al-Sadr's father and two of his brothers were assassinated by Saddam in 1999.
One of the Shia executioners shouted, "You have destroyed us. You have killed us. You have made us live in destitution." Saddam said, "I saved you from destitution and misery and destroyed your enemies, the Americans and the Persians." The guard then said, "God damn you." Saddam responded, "God damn you."
According to Munir Haddad, the judge at his trial who was witnessing the execution, "[Saddam] said we are going to heaven and our enemies will rot in hell and he also called for forgiveness and love among Iraqis but also stressed that the Iraqis should fight the Americans and the Persians."
As they put the noose around his neck, Saddam yelled out, "Ya Allah!", or "Hear me God!".
Those in the audience then started chanting, "Those who pray for God and the family of Mohammad have won", and "God bless Mohammad and his family".
These are both Shia sayings, because the Shia revere Ali and Hussein, the actual members of Mohammad's family, as opposed to the unrelated Umayyads, rivals in the early succession struggle for the leadership of Islam. The first saying is highly sectarian, meaning, "In the battle between the Shia and the Sunnis, the Shia have won."
Then Sadr's supporters chanted, "And may the Mahdi return soon! And the Hell with his enemies! And victory to his son! Muqtada! Muqtada! Muqtada!" Saddam looked down dimly at the hecklers and smiled caustically, mocking their taunts by asking, "Moqtada al-Sadr? Is this how you act like a man?"
This is probably a reference to rumors that Muqtada's wife left him, saying that he was gay. So what Saddam is asking here is, "This is how you show you're a man - by chanting the name of this fag Muqtada al-Sadr?"
Then, in a barely audible retort, Saddam muttered, "Gallows of shame..." but he was drowned out by voices yelling, "Go to Hell!"
Saddam responded, implying that his Shia executioners and their US allies had ruined Iraq, "The Hell that is Iraq?" As the rope was put around Saddam's neck somebody shouted, "Long live Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr!" Onlookers then yelled more insults at Saddam.
Some of his last words before reciting the Shahada were "Down with the traitors, the spies, the Americans and the Persians." Traitors means everyone who supports the pro-US regime. Persians refers to anti-Baathist Shia Iraqis. One onlooker, Haddad, then tried to stop those shouting insults at Saddam, yelling, "I beg you, I beg you - the man is being executed!"
Saddam then said the Muslim shahada prayer, "There is no God but God, and Mohammad is his witness", that all Muslims are required to say before they die. He said it once, then said it again, but they didn't let him finish.
When he got to the "Mohammad", the trap door fell in the gallows, and immediately he was swinging. It took him a full minute to die, and the scarf around his neck (placed there to keep his neck from being cut open) had not prevented the rope from cutting a gash in his neck.
As Saddam fell through the door, an onlooker shouted, "The tyrant has fallen! God damn him!" Others yelled triumphant Shia slogans. An onlooker tried to remove the rope from Saddam's neck, but a voice said, "No, wait for three minutes." They let him swing for 10 minutes, chanting Muslim slogans praising Mohammad the whole time, and then they cut him down.
I would like to point out that at least some of the sectarian Shia chanting at this execution is not dignified or acceptable in this setting. To some extent, it is like a crowd of Whites hanging a Black man while dancing around, grinning and yelling, "Hang, nigger, hang!" The analogy with a US Southern lynching is intentional.
The Arab nationalist and Sunni chauvinist Internet publication Islam Online reported that the "Safavids", meaning the Iraqi Shia, burned Saddam's Koran after he was hung. Safavids is a very insulting term for Arab Shia.
It refers to the Persians that conquered and ruled part of Iraq from 1508-1534 and again from 1623-1638, periods that Sunni Arabs in the region still smart over. The purple bars on this map show the part of Iraq that was conquered.
The Safavids were also the dynasty that first cemented Shiism as the state religion of Persia in the early 1500's. By the mid-1600's, majority-Sunni Iran was now majority-Shia.
This was accomplished by aggressive proselytism of Shiism, in part by converting huge numbers of Persian Sunnis by the sword. Those who would not convert were put to death. Doubtless this is another source of Sunni anger at the Safavids.
Calling the Arab Shia "Safavids" is common amongst Sunni Arab Muslims in places like Iraq and Lebanon and is the equivalent of calling Jews "kikes".
The site also said that Saddam was denied a Sunni imam's last rites; that Iraqi Shia Ayatollah Sistani blessed the execution (this is true); that Saddam's body was abused after death; that Saddam shouted, "Palestine is Arab" before reciting the shahada; and that Saddam exchanged insults with audience members and said, "God damn you, you Persian midget!" to one of them.
All of these claims except for the body being abused (evidence shows it was not - the bruises on his face were just from the hanging) and the shout about Palestine (he shouted about Palestine in the judge's chambers next door, not in the execution chamber, and there is no evidence of him shouting this on the tape) are possibly true.
Saddam was hung on the first morning of the Muslim holiday Eid, which is the equivalent of a Christian being hung on Easter morning. That is likely to outrage many Muslims, and could at least be considered poor taste. What is worse is that he was hung on the first day of the Sunni Muslim Eid, December 30. The Shia Muslim Eid did not start until the next day, December 31.
That is a direct slap in the face to Sunnis everywhere. As an analogy, try this: It would be as if Protestants and Catholics were fighting, and celebrated Easter one day apart. Catholics captured one of the Protestants' top leaders and deliberately hung him on the Protestant Easter, and then made a party of his hanging.
According to the Iraqi Constitution, you cannot kill someone on Eid. The Shia government simply avoided that by declaring that December 31, not December 30, was the first day of Eid. This declaration effectively made Iraq a de facto Shia country.
The Saudi regime, no friend of Saddam's, called the timing of the execution an affront to Islam. The Libyan regime, no friend of Saddam's either, called for three days of mourning. Furthermore, the fact that he was dropped through the chamber midway through the Shahada is considered by Sunnis to be another sectarian insult.
Although in many ways he was a terrible person, Saddam's behavior prior to being hanged was dignified and proper. No matter how he would have behaved, his enemies would have spun it to make Saddam look malevolent, humiliated or weak.
Despite propaganda from Iraq's National Security Adviser Muwafaq al-Rubaie that Saddam was "weak and frightened", he did not appear that way in the video at all (check for yourself). Nor did he seem especially defiant, except when taunted. At any rate, to those gloating that Saddam seemed a wee bit frightened, I would like to see how they hold up to being hung by a rope.
This execution could have been conducted with solemnity and professionalism, in which case you could argue that it was an act of justice. Instead it was turned into a squalid act of sectarian revenge. Saddam, a mass murderer, took the moral high ground and went to his death with class, composure and pride, while his hooded Shia executioners looked like little more than street thugs.
Saddam surely deserved this fate but I cannot see any good come of this. Surely this will only fan the flames of sectarianism in Iraq (and there are already signs that it is doing just that), in which case, what good did it do but sink the Iraqis deeper into this flaming Hell?
The fact that praise for Sadr was being shouted implies that some of those in attendance were supporters of the Mahdi Army, who are rightly referred to as sectarian militiamen.
When you hear about X number of bodies, tortured, blindfolded and handcuffed, found in Baghdad on a given day, it is the Shia Mahdi Army, not the Sunni guerrillas, who are generally responsible for all, or almost all, of those killings. This fact is conveniently almost never explained by the US media. The media simply says that X bodies were discovered, describes their state, and says "militias" killed them.
The Mahdi Army is supported by the US-supported Iraqi government. At first, most of those killed by the Mahdi Army were at least Salafist Sunni religious radicals. It could be argued that many were either guerrillas or sympathized with them.
Now, outrageously, the Mahdi Army is targeting any and all Sunnis Arabs, especially the men, and in particular the young men, merely because they are Sunni Arabs! They are also killing middle aged and old Sunni Arab men and even some of the women.
These death squads were set up by the US Government, specifically by US Ambassador to Iraq John Negroponte, who set up and ran similar death squads in Honduras in the 1980's when he was ambassador there. More on that theory here, here, here and here.
This is a case of the Frankenstein monster created by the US coming back to bite the US on the ass, as has happened so many times in the past.
All the talk of Iran and Syria "interfering in Iraq" is dubious.
Let us deal with Iran first.
First, Iran does not support the Mahdi Army; they do not even like it. Iran doesn't give Sadr any money; probably the only thing Iran wants to give Sadr is a bullet in the head. It's true that Iran used to support Sadr a bit, but that was a while ago.
Instead, the Mahdi Army is supported almost totally by funds gathered inside of Iraq. For their part, the Mahdi Army is well-known for being an anti-Iranian, Iraqi nationalist or even Arab nationalist group.
For a long time, I could not understand why the Mahdi Army was behind so many death squad killing in Iraq these days. A ready explanation is now at hand but first an understanding of Shiism is in order.
The Shia of Iraq and 80% of the Shia in the world are Twelvers, since they follow what they see as the first 12 imams after Mohammad. Sunnis believe in a different path of succession, the Umayyads, who were not related to Mohammad but instead were just leaders of various parts of the Arab World who assumed the role of caliph.
There are other schools of Shiism called Seveners or Fivers, who split after either five or seven imams in who they consider to be the correct fifth or seventh imam. The 12th imam is said to be Muhammad al-Mahdi.
After his father, the 11th imam, died, his 5-year-old son was said to lead the prayers after his death. At that time, the boy disappeared and went into a state called occultation.
The Askariya Mosque that was blown up by Iraqi Al Qaeda in February, 2006, is said to be where the boy disappeared. A shrine was then built on the scene of his disappearance. Twelvers believe that he is coming back some day and that is he going to bring absolute justice to the world (like the belief in the return of Jesus).
Most Twelvers probably believe in this to some extent but do not make a virtual cult out of it (sort of like the way that many Christians only halfheartedly believe in Jesus' return and others become passionate about it.
The Mahdi Army has almost made a cult out of belief in the Mahdi, to the point where some of them may think that Muqtada al-Sadr himself is the either the son of the Mahdi or perhaps even the Mahdi himself. Sadr himself has made illusive comments that added weight to these beliefs. At any rate, the Mahdi Army is a millenarian movement that believes that the Mahdi will reveal himself at any time.
While the destruction of the the Askariya Mosque was no doubt painful to most Twelvers, it simply drove the Mahdi Army insane due to their cult-like belief in the Mahdi. It is after that attack that the Mahdi Army went on their wild mass murdering spree against Sunnis in general.
Iran supports SCIRI, which has an armed wing called the Badr Brigades. Lately SCIRI is hardly involved in sectarian killings at all, although that is controversial. SCIRI is also part of the Iraqi government. You certainly could argue that the Iraqi government, dominated by SCIRI and Dawa, could be doing more to stop the killings.
For some time now, SCIRI and apparently also Iranian intelligence has taken advantage of the chaos in Iraq to carry out sporadic assassinations of former high-ranking members of Saddam's regime. For SCIRI, this is vengeance, as SCIRI was formerly fighting an insurgency against the Baathist regime.
For Iran, similarly, it is a case of revenge - revenge for the Iraq-Iran War that Saddam started with considerable encouragement from the US. At any rate, SCIRI are simply Shia Iraqis, fired by the history of the Shia in Iraq - they are no Iranian puppets.
When they kill former top Baathists, they are doing it for their own reasons, not in service to the Iranian regime. The sporadic assassinations of former top Baathists in Iraq form a very small part of the Civil War and insurgency in the country. Hence, any suggestion that Iran or Iran-allied movements are tearing Iraq apart is nonsense.
For a long time, the Sunni guerrillas agenda, aside from attacking US forces, has been "kill the Shia". The Sunnis who did not actually kill the Shia themselves were disgustingly silent when the racists did.
For years, the Shia were shockingly quiescent in the face of this regular terror. Iran was supporting SCIRI and Dawa while they were refusing to retaliate against the Sunni killers. Now that SCIRI and Dawa are not doing much to protect Sunnis against Shia killers of the Mahdi Army, Iran still supports them.
Iran will support SCIRI and Dawa practically whatever they do, just as the US supports Israel no matter what it does. But neither party is an agent of Iran anymore than Israel is an agent of the US. The Iraqi Shia have their own reasons for doing whatever they do. The notion that they are operating under orders from Tehran all this time is preposterous.
Fact is, it is not in Iran's interest at all to have an insane Sunni-Shia civil war in Iraq, a war that threatens to spread sectarian horror across the whole region, including their own country.
What Iran wants is simple: they want a peaceful, stable situation in Iraq, hopefully with a friendly, pro-Iranian regime in charge. Iran receives no benefit at all from the Inferno raging in Iraq, and the mess causes a lot of problems for Iran.
Iran also wants the US military out of Iraq, since by our presence there, we are threatening both Syria and Iran (this is one of the reasons the neocons plotted to have a large US troop presence in Iraq - to menace those two countries).
Second, isn't the one country "interfering in Iraq" more than any other called the US?
Talk of Iran interfering in Iraq is coming from three different sources.
The first is US imperialism, which hates Iran for a variety of reasons.
These reasons date back to Khomeini's revolution, the seizure of the hostages at the US embassy in Tehran immediately afterward, and then the attacks on US targets in Lebanon in the 1980's and Saudi Arabia in the 1990's by Shia radicals.
These attacks in Lebanon included a car bomb attack on the US embassy, a suicide truck bomb attack on a Marine barracks that killed 100's of Marines, kidnappings of various Americans and the capture and execution of a US CIA agent.
The kidnappings and killing of the CIA agent were done by Hezbollah, but it is not clear at all that Hezbollah attacked the barracks or bombed the embassy. For one thing, Hezbollah may not even have been formed yet when those attacks occurred. The barracks attack was claimed by a separate group that is not Hezbollah. However, it seems clear that Iran was involved in all of the above attacks.
The attacks in Saudi Arabia included the car bombing of the US military barracks at the Khobar Towers which killed two dozen US soldiers and wounded hundreds more. That attack is being pinned on an obscure organization called Saudi Hezbollah, not on the Lebanese Hezbollah as the US press often ignorantly states.
Saudi Hezbollah is one of maybe 50 small, shadowy armed Shia groups in Arabia, where the Shia are fired up about the outrageous racism they experience at the hand of Wahhabi Sunnis, who contemptuously regard them as infidels. The suggestion is that Iran was behind that bombing too.
The second source of anti-Iranian talk is coming from the KKK-Jews (Zionists) in Israel, who also have it in for Iran right now. They got rid of Iraq; now Syria and Iran are next on their list as they go for broke trying to wipe out all resistance in the region to their racist regime.
As Israel is now virtually a state of the US, Israel's interests are US interests. The fact that the US media is dominated by Zionists (both Jewish and Gentile) helps matters. Congress is completely controlled by a heavily Jewish Israeli Lobby, which also includes fundamentalist Christian elements.
The third source of anti-Iran sentiment is coming from Sunni Arabs, and Sunnis in general, who often hate Iran for various reasons, none of which are reasonable, and all of which are simply based on virulent racism.
An essential introduction to the tragic legacy of vicious anti-Iranian racism via Arab nationalism is Kaveh Farrokh's Arab Nationalism's Legacy of Confrontation With Iran.
The fact that US imperialism and World Jewry is in alliance with these ferocious, Nazi-like Sunni Muslim ultraracists is sickening and revolting.
The Jews of all people.
Yet Zionism has turned the Jews into a nation of killers, liars and thieves; those who cheer them on from the sidelines; and those who hide the criminals from justice or acquit them in court. Astute readers will note the analogy with the Jim Crow South. That is intentional.
As anti-Semitism hates Jews for what they are, not for what they do, there is nothing anti-Semitic in that statement. As the racists in the Antebellum South could cut it out any time they like, so can the KKK-Jews. Just say no to racism. It's not hard at all.
Along similar lines, neither is Syria supporting the Sunni guerrillas much. The Syrian regime is run by Alawi Shia, who are not even considered Muslims by many or most Sunni Muslims, due to the extreme heterodox nature of their sect.
To the fundamentalist Sunni guerrillas in Iraq, the Alawi are hated first for being Shia, and second and even worse for not even being real Shia. To too many Sunnis, Alawis are simply infidels.
The Alawi regime is threatened by the majority-Sunnis of Syria, many of whom support the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood. Hafez Assad waged war on these fundies in 1982, when they took over the city of Hama and declared an Islamic state in Syria.
The Syrian army invaded, destroyed the city and killed 10,000 people, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria was effectively destroyed. It remains in ruins in Syria to this day, where membership in the group is punishable by death.
The membership scattered to the far winds, especially to Saudi Arabia, where they joined the exiled Muslim Brotherhood from Egypt (exiled in another crackdown, this time by Gamel Nasser, President of Egypt). Both exiled Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) groups became religious teachers in Saudi Arabia around the time a number of religious schools were being set up there.
Wahhabi Islam in Arabia has not always been vicious, deranged and terroristic. Prior to the 1970's, it was largely quietist (a Muslim religious term for Muslims who are not active in politics, especially in armed politics).
The infusion of radicalized Ikhwan exiles with Saudi Wahhabi Islam (still ultra-radical, even if quietist) metastasized to create a savage, militant fundamentalist Islam in Saudi Arabia by the 1980's.
With the added boost of the Iranian revolution (which radicalized both Sunni and Shia Muslims around the world) of 1979 and the ensuing radical turmoil in Arabia (armed radicals captured the Kaaba, took hostages, and were routed in an armed counterattack that left hundreds dead) and the injection of the Afghan jihad of the 1980's, the result was we call the Al Qaeda type groupings of today.
To this day, all Al Qaeda groupings are still significantly associated with the Ikhwan. One could even say that when it comes to Al Qaeda-like groups, "All roads lead to the Ikhwan".
Based on that history, the notion that the super-secular Alawis of Syria would be supporting their most murderous enemies, the Sunni ultra-radical Salafist guerrillas in Iraq, is comical and pitiful.
Instead, my understanding is that Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and even more so, wealthy Saudis, and probably wealthy Arabs from other Gulf States, are supplying the Sunni Iraqi guerrillas. The dominant Arabian Sunnis are as frightened of Shia political power as White racists in the US South were mortified by the threat of Black political enfranchisement.
The dominant theme here is, "Shia is the nigger of (Muslim) World".
As you can see by the blatantly bigoted and murderously racist behavior of the Iraqi Shia militias described above, the Iraqi Shia are becoming "Niggaz with an attitude." Which only proves that, barring intervention, the abused will become abusers as surely as day follows night.
The accusations against Syria are coming from US imperialism and the KKK-Jews. Imperialism hates Syria, probably just because it is not an ally. Syria is not an ally because it is an Arab nationalist regime still locked in conflict with Israel. As the US wildly supports Israel, Syria is not happy with the US.
But Syria really has no interest in the US per se. Their main problem is with Israel, which is still illegally occupying Syrian land, in violation of all international law, and in defiance of 98% of the nations on Earth.
Due to this Occupation, Syria and Israel are legally still at war. Syria's interest is not to wipe out Israel, or kill all Jews or any of the crap that Zionists will tell you. Syrians just want the Golan back. To get it back, I am sure they will sell out Arab nationalism, the Palestinians, and the whole nine yards.
As a consequence of Israel's theft of the Syrian Golan Heights, Syria retaliates by funding and supporting various Palestinian armed groups. Due to this ongoing conflict, Syria is on Israel's list for regime change, along with Iran. The US simply has no real beneficial national interest in supporting Israel in this fight, other than that Israel is the 51st state of America.
Whenever you hear a US neoconservative commentator ranting about "Iran and Syria", the ghost of Ariel Sharon may as well be pulling the puppet strings in back of them while they speak.
In my opinion, the KKK-Jews, who were part of the plot to get us into this insane Iraq War, also hoped to drag Syria and possibly Iran in too. With US troops in Iraq, hardline Zionism worked to use US forces to taunt Syria. Only the Iraqi resistance stopped US forces from attacking Syria, and probably also Iran. Terrible as the Sunni guerrillas are, the world does owe them something.
A huge US army in Iraq de facto menacing Syria is a taunt to the Syrians, in order to provoke them into supporting the Iraqi resistance to keep the US at bay. But once they start supporting Iraqi guerrillas, the US has cause to attack Syria.
Yet if Syria cooperates in crushing the Sunni guerrillas and pacifying Iraq, the US will then be free to evacuate most troops from Iraq and invade Syria. Yet the mad civil war in Iraq tears the region asunder and actually threatens Syria in many ways, mostly that the jihad of their radical Sunni Islamist enemies can spread to Syria.
What does Syria want? Same as Iran. A peaceful and stable Iraq that is friendly to Syria. Like Iran, they also want all US troops out of Iraq, since those troops are threatening Syria by their very presence.
Syria is in a poignant spider's web; damned if she does; damned if she doesn't. This is the trap Zionism-imperialism has set for her, with the only way out being abject surrender to imperialism-Zionism in the region, as almost all of the other Arab states have already done.
Yes, Zionism actually wants to provoke Syria into conflict with the US. Incredible, no? As if the world did not have enough problems as it is, the cancer of World Zionism adds another huge dollop of instability to the quivering mess as it pumps the black poison of its influence, menace and power through the veins of a cringing and suffering world.
Truth is that Syria has cracked down ferociously on those who have gone to fight in Iraq. Many jihadis have been imprisoned, beaten and tortured. Their relatives have also been harassed. Supporters of the jihadis inside Syria have actually set up organizations to protest this crackdown. The blog Syria Comment has been covering this story for some time now.
The Sunni guerrillas are being supplied mostly from inside Iraq itself but also by neighboring Sunnis, as noted above. The Sunni guerrillas' external support is from US allies. The Shia militias are being funded from inside Iraq and are part of the US-allied Iraqi government.
Both sides of the Iraqi civil war are being funded and supported by US allies, not Syria and Iran. This is the lugubrious truth.
Many have wondered about the controversial study showing that 655,000 Iraqis had been killed by the US invasion of Iraq. Though the media has predictably poo-pooed the study, I studied it in depth and it is apparently a valid study. The same authors previously conducted a study in 2004 that found 100,000 deaths. That study was also very controversial.
The author of both studies, Les Roberts, wrote a piece in February 2006, prior to the latest study, in which he estimated 300,000 deaths. He lays out his reasons in the piece.
On July 12, 2005, an Iraqi group called Iraqiyun working with the Iraqi government counted 128,000 dead. These dead were lined up with actual names and records of the deceased based on door-to-door interviews throughout Iraq. Only dead confirmed by relatives were included, and the many who have vanished without a trace were not.
A study including infant mortality and looking at raw death rates has found an excess mortality of 900,000 deaths in Iraq since the US invasion, including 400,000 by infant mortality and 500,000 by other excess mortality. Note that the 500,000 figure includes excess deaths due to all causes related to the invasion - crime, stress, disease, dirty water, suicide, poor medical care, etc.
The same study, using raw death rate figures once again, found excess mortality of 2.9 million Iraqis from 1990-2003, almost all attributed to US and British sanctions, which were deliberately written to kill as many innocent Iraqis as possible. That figure includes 1.6 million via infant mortality and 1.3 million via other excess mortality, respectively. The study uses raw death rates, so the figures should be pretty good.
Those figures are from Gideon Polya, an Australian scientist who works, at least in part, in the field of excess mortality. He is the founder of the "Theory of Excess Mortality".
The US and Britain killed 2.9 million Iraqis via sanctions, then started a war that killed another 900,000 Iraqis. That adds up to 3.8 million dead Iraqis. Either way you cut the cake, the US and Britain killed far more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein, whose number of victims is estimated at 300,000 and who also started a war with Iran that killed another 875,000, for a total of 1.175 million dead.
In reality, the mad Iraqi racist war against completely innocent Iran was fully egged on by and coordinated by the US and later many other nations all over the world. We even gave Iraq detailed maps of Iranian front line military positions before he attacked. Later, with the war on, we supplied him with the chemical weapons he fired at Iranian troops.
So in reality, perhaps Saddam and the US should share the guilt for the Iran-Iraq war dead. Even granting (dubiously) Saddam full culpability for the Iran-Iraq war toll, the US and Britain still killed over three times as many Iraqis as Saddam Hussein.
In a just world, would any other leaders deserve to be swinging from the end of a rope, due to mass murder of Iraqis? Something to think about...
For those who are interested, I authored an 80+ page dossier on the state Iraqi guerrilla groups as of April 15, 2005. It was published in 3 parts, Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. The report is now pretty much out of date but still holds historical interest on the state of the Iraqi resistance at a certain point in time. In that report, I believe I identified over 120 separate groups fighting the US Coalition.
This is a video of the actual hanging of Saddam Hussein at a two-story building the Shia Khadamiya District in Baghdad at 6:10 AM on December 30, 2006, as shot surreptitiously by a cellphone camera held by one of those in attendance.
This is not the more tame video that is being shown on US TV but is instead the more gruesome video being shown on Arabic websites and now spreading virally around the web and the world.
In the video, Saddam was taunting and being taunted by some of those who were getting ready to hang him. As he was getting ready to be hung, he recited the Muslim prayer a couple of times. Saddam refused to wear a hood over his head and carried a Koran in his hand. His team of three black-hooded executioners (called a mashmawi) had noticeable Shia Southern Iraqi accents.
All of his executioners were members of the SCIRI political party, and they and his guards tormented Saddam in the six hours before his execution, refusing to let him sleep much by waking him up every half an hour to taunt him. One of the taunting executioners had the Shia sectarian name of "Ali The Butcher". Saddam reportedly refused a last meal of chicken the night before and asked only for a Koran.
At 5 AM, he was offered breakfast, but he refused and asked for a cigarette instead. The request for a cigarette was refused and he was taken to an execution cell where a judge read the details of the sentence to him and asked Saddam if he wanted to make a last statement.
While the judge was reading the verdict, Saddam periodically shouted out slogans, at one point yelling, "Long live Iraq! Long live the people! Long live the Palestinians!" He declined to make a final statement and was taken to the execution chamber.
The building where he was killed in Khadamiya was formerly used as a torture chamber by a special branch of Saddam's security forces that focused on the Shia fundamentalist Dawa political party. Indeed, some of the men present had been tortured by Saddam's thugs in this very building.
Nouri al-Maliki, the Prime Minister of Iraq, was a prominent member of Dawa and was himself sentenced to death in absentia by Saddam's regime in 1980 before he fled the country to Iran. Presently, Maliki is the head of the Dawa Party. Ibrahim Al-Jaafari is number 2 man in the party.
Dawa was even involved in the case for which Saddam was sentenced to death - the assassination attempt on Saddam in Dujail was carried out by Dawa. There are suggestions that Jaafari made the relatively minor Dujail case the focus of Saddam's trial as part of the Dawa versus Baath feud.
As you can see, this execution had strong elements of a revenge party attack on the Baath Party by the Dawa Party. Adding weight to this theory, the first tape showing Saddam's dead body in a coffin was leaked to the Dawa Party TV station.
Just before Saddam was killed, a Shia observer in attendance shouted, "Praise to Mohammad Baqir Al-Sadr!" The uncle of radical cleric Moqtada Sadr, Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir Al-Sadr was tortured to death by Saddam along with his sister in 1980.
One version says that Baqir was executed by first having a nail hammered into his head and then being set on fire. Another version, in Robert Pelton Young's World's Most Dangerous Places, has Saddam's henchman Chemical Ali personally strangling Baqir to death.
When you read the gruesome accounts of how Saddam's men killed Baqir, you can begin to see how the execution of Saddam was a nasty act of revenge by Baqir's followers for the gory killing of Baqir.
Baqir founded the Dawa Party and is revered by all the main Shia factions in Iraq - the SCIRI and Dawa political parties and the Mahdi Army. Baqir's son-in-law, Muqtada al-Sadr, is the young radical cleric whose forces, called the Mahdi Army, have repeatedly battled the US in Iraq. Moqtada al-Sadr's father and two of his brothers were assassinated by Saddam in 1999.
One of the Shia executioners shouted, "You have destroyed us. You have killed us. You have made us live in destitution." Saddam said, "I saved you from destitution and misery and destroyed your enemies, the Americans and the Persians." The guard then said, "God damn you." Saddam responded, "God damn you."
According to Munir Haddad, the judge at his trial who was witnessing the execution, "[Saddam] said we are going to heaven and our enemies will rot in hell and he also called for forgiveness and love among Iraqis but also stressed that the Iraqis should fight the Americans and the Persians."
As they put the noose around his neck, Saddam yelled out, "Ya Allah!", or "Hear me God!".
Those in the audience then started chanting, "Those who pray for God and the family of Mohammad have won", and "God bless Mohammad and his family".
These are both Shia sayings, because the Shia revere Ali and Hussein, the actual members of Mohammad's family, as opposed to the unrelated Umayyads, rivals in the early succession struggle for the leadership of Islam. The first saying is highly sectarian, meaning, "In the battle between the Shia and the Sunnis, the Shia have won."
Then Sadr's supporters chanted, "And may the Mahdi return soon! And the Hell with his enemies! And victory to his son! Muqtada! Muqtada! Muqtada!" Saddam looked down dimly at the hecklers and smiled caustically, mocking their taunts by asking, "Moqtada al-Sadr? Is this how you act like a man?"
This is probably a reference to rumors that Muqtada's wife left him, saying that he was gay. So what Saddam is asking here is, "This is how you show you're a man - by chanting the name of this fag Muqtada al-Sadr?"
Then, in a barely audible retort, Saddam muttered, "Gallows of shame..." but he was drowned out by voices yelling, "Go to Hell!"
Saddam responded, implying that his Shia executioners and their US allies had ruined Iraq, "The Hell that is Iraq?" As the rope was put around Saddam's neck somebody shouted, "Long live Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr!" Onlookers then yelled more insults at Saddam.
Some of his last words before reciting the Shahada were "Down with the traitors, the spies, the Americans and the Persians." Traitors means everyone who supports the pro-US regime. Persians refers to anti-Baathist Shia Iraqis. One onlooker, Haddad, then tried to stop those shouting insults at Saddam, yelling, "I beg you, I beg you - the man is being executed!"
Saddam then said the Muslim shahada prayer, "There is no God but God, and Mohammad is his witness", that all Muslims are required to say before they die. He said it once, then said it again, but they didn't let him finish.
When he got to the "Mohammad", the trap door fell in the gallows, and immediately he was swinging. It took him a full minute to die, and the scarf around his neck (placed there to keep his neck from being cut open) had not prevented the rope from cutting a gash in his neck.
As Saddam fell through the door, an onlooker shouted, "The tyrant has fallen! God damn him!" Others yelled triumphant Shia slogans. An onlooker tried to remove the rope from Saddam's neck, but a voice said, "No, wait for three minutes." They let him swing for 10 minutes, chanting Muslim slogans praising Mohammad the whole time, and then they cut him down.
I would like to point out that at least some of the sectarian Shia chanting at this execution is not dignified or acceptable in this setting. To some extent, it is like a crowd of Whites hanging a Black man while dancing around, grinning and yelling, "Hang, nigger, hang!" The analogy with a US Southern lynching is intentional.
The Arab nationalist and Sunni chauvinist Internet publication Islam Online reported that the "Safavids", meaning the Iraqi Shia, burned Saddam's Koran after he was hung. Safavids is a very insulting term for Arab Shia.
It refers to the Persians that conquered and ruled part of Iraq from 1508-1534 and again from 1623-1638, periods that Sunni Arabs in the region still smart over. The purple bars on this map show the part of Iraq that was conquered.
The Safavids were also the dynasty that first cemented Shiism as the state religion of Persia in the early 1500's. By the mid-1600's, majority-Sunni Iran was now majority-Shia.
This was accomplished by aggressive proselytism of Shiism, in part by converting huge numbers of Persian Sunnis by the sword. Those who would not convert were put to death. Doubtless this is another source of Sunni anger at the Safavids.
Calling the Arab Shia "Safavids" is common amongst Sunni Arab Muslims in places like Iraq and Lebanon and is the equivalent of calling Jews "kikes".
The site also said that Saddam was denied a Sunni imam's last rites; that Iraqi Shia Ayatollah Sistani blessed the execution (this is true); that Saddam's body was abused after death; that Saddam shouted, "Palestine is Arab" before reciting the shahada; and that Saddam exchanged insults with audience members and said, "God damn you, you Persian midget!" to one of them.
All of these claims except for the body being abused (evidence shows it was not - the bruises on his face were just from the hanging) and the shout about Palestine (he shouted about Palestine in the judge's chambers next door, not in the execution chamber, and there is no evidence of him shouting this on the tape) are possibly true.
Saddam was hung on the first morning of the Muslim holiday Eid, which is the equivalent of a Christian being hung on Easter morning. That is likely to outrage many Muslims, and could at least be considered poor taste. What is worse is that he was hung on the first day of the Sunni Muslim Eid, December 30. The Shia Muslim Eid did not start until the next day, December 31.
That is a direct slap in the face to Sunnis everywhere. As an analogy, try this: It would be as if Protestants and Catholics were fighting, and celebrated Easter one day apart. Catholics captured one of the Protestants' top leaders and deliberately hung him on the Protestant Easter, and then made a party of his hanging.
According to the Iraqi Constitution, you cannot kill someone on Eid. The Shia government simply avoided that by declaring that December 31, not December 30, was the first day of Eid. This declaration effectively made Iraq a de facto Shia country.
The Saudi regime, no friend of Saddam's, called the timing of the execution an affront to Islam. The Libyan regime, no friend of Saddam's either, called for three days of mourning. Furthermore, the fact that he was dropped through the chamber midway through the Shahada is considered by Sunnis to be another sectarian insult.
Although in many ways he was a terrible person, Saddam's behavior prior to being hanged was dignified and proper. No matter how he would have behaved, his enemies would have spun it to make Saddam look malevolent, humiliated or weak.
Despite propaganda from Iraq's National Security Adviser Muwafaq al-Rubaie that Saddam was "weak and frightened", he did not appear that way in the video at all (check for yourself). Nor did he seem especially defiant, except when taunted. At any rate, to those gloating that Saddam seemed a wee bit frightened, I would like to see how they hold up to being hung by a rope.
This execution could have been conducted with solemnity and professionalism, in which case you could argue that it was an act of justice. Instead it was turned into a squalid act of sectarian revenge. Saddam, a mass murderer, took the moral high ground and went to his death with class, composure and pride, while his hooded Shia executioners looked like little more than street thugs.
Saddam surely deserved this fate but I cannot see any good come of this. Surely this will only fan the flames of sectarianism in Iraq (and there are already signs that it is doing just that), in which case, what good did it do but sink the Iraqis deeper into this flaming Hell?
The fact that praise for Sadr was being shouted implies that some of those in attendance were supporters of the Mahdi Army, who are rightly referred to as sectarian militiamen.
When you hear about X number of bodies, tortured, blindfolded and handcuffed, found in Baghdad on a given day, it is the Shia Mahdi Army, not the Sunni guerrillas, who are generally responsible for all, or almost all, of those killings. This fact is conveniently almost never explained by the US media. The media simply says that X bodies were discovered, describes their state, and says "militias" killed them.
The Mahdi Army is supported by the US-supported Iraqi government. At first, most of those killed by the Mahdi Army were at least Salafist Sunni religious radicals. It could be argued that many were either guerrillas or sympathized with them.
Now, outrageously, the Mahdi Army is targeting any and all Sunnis Arabs, especially the men, and in particular the young men, merely because they are Sunni Arabs! They are also killing middle aged and old Sunni Arab men and even some of the women.
These death squads were set up by the US Government, specifically by US Ambassador to Iraq John Negroponte, who set up and ran similar death squads in Honduras in the 1980's when he was ambassador there. More on that theory here, here, here and here.
This is a case of the Frankenstein monster created by the US coming back to bite the US on the ass, as has happened so many times in the past.
All the talk of Iran and Syria "interfering in Iraq" is dubious.
Let us deal with Iran first.
First, Iran does not support the Mahdi Army; they do not even like it. Iran doesn't give Sadr any money; probably the only thing Iran wants to give Sadr is a bullet in the head. It's true that Iran used to support Sadr a bit, but that was a while ago.
Instead, the Mahdi Army is supported almost totally by funds gathered inside of Iraq. For their part, the Mahdi Army is well-known for being an anti-Iranian, Iraqi nationalist or even Arab nationalist group.
For a long time, I could not understand why the Mahdi Army was behind so many death squad killing in Iraq these days. A ready explanation is now at hand but first an understanding of Shiism is in order.
The Shia of Iraq and 80% of the Shia in the world are Twelvers, since they follow what they see as the first 12 imams after Mohammad. Sunnis believe in a different path of succession, the Umayyads, who were not related to Mohammad but instead were just leaders of various parts of the Arab World who assumed the role of caliph.
There are other schools of Shiism called Seveners or Fivers, who split after either five or seven imams in who they consider to be the correct fifth or seventh imam. The 12th imam is said to be Muhammad al-Mahdi.
After his father, the 11th imam, died, his 5-year-old son was said to lead the prayers after his death. At that time, the boy disappeared and went into a state called occultation.
The Askariya Mosque that was blown up by Iraqi Al Qaeda in February, 2006, is said to be where the boy disappeared. A shrine was then built on the scene of his disappearance. Twelvers believe that he is coming back some day and that is he going to bring absolute justice to the world (like the belief in the return of Jesus).
Most Twelvers probably believe in this to some extent but do not make a virtual cult out of it (sort of like the way that many Christians only halfheartedly believe in Jesus' return and others become passionate about it.
The Mahdi Army has almost made a cult out of belief in the Mahdi, to the point where some of them may think that Muqtada al-Sadr himself is the either the son of the Mahdi or perhaps even the Mahdi himself. Sadr himself has made illusive comments that added weight to these beliefs. At any rate, the Mahdi Army is a millenarian movement that believes that the Mahdi will reveal himself at any time.
While the destruction of the the Askariya Mosque was no doubt painful to most Twelvers, it simply drove the Mahdi Army insane due to their cult-like belief in the Mahdi. It is after that attack that the Mahdi Army went on their wild mass murdering spree against Sunnis in general.
Iran supports SCIRI, which has an armed wing called the Badr Brigades. Lately SCIRI is hardly involved in sectarian killings at all, although that is controversial. SCIRI is also part of the Iraqi government. You certainly could argue that the Iraqi government, dominated by SCIRI and Dawa, could be doing more to stop the killings.
For some time now, SCIRI and apparently also Iranian intelligence has taken advantage of the chaos in Iraq to carry out sporadic assassinations of former high-ranking members of Saddam's regime. For SCIRI, this is vengeance, as SCIRI was formerly fighting an insurgency against the Baathist regime.
For Iran, similarly, it is a case of revenge - revenge for the Iraq-Iran War that Saddam started with considerable encouragement from the US. At any rate, SCIRI are simply Shia Iraqis, fired by the history of the Shia in Iraq - they are no Iranian puppets.
When they kill former top Baathists, they are doing it for their own reasons, not in service to the Iranian regime. The sporadic assassinations of former top Baathists in Iraq form a very small part of the Civil War and insurgency in the country. Hence, any suggestion that Iran or Iran-allied movements are tearing Iraq apart is nonsense.
For a long time, the Sunni guerrillas agenda, aside from attacking US forces, has been "kill the Shia". The Sunnis who did not actually kill the Shia themselves were disgustingly silent when the racists did.
For years, the Shia were shockingly quiescent in the face of this regular terror. Iran was supporting SCIRI and Dawa while they were refusing to retaliate against the Sunni killers. Now that SCIRI and Dawa are not doing much to protect Sunnis against Shia killers of the Mahdi Army, Iran still supports them.
Iran will support SCIRI and Dawa practically whatever they do, just as the US supports Israel no matter what it does. But neither party is an agent of Iran anymore than Israel is an agent of the US. The Iraqi Shia have their own reasons for doing whatever they do. The notion that they are operating under orders from Tehran all this time is preposterous.
Fact is, it is not in Iran's interest at all to have an insane Sunni-Shia civil war in Iraq, a war that threatens to spread sectarian horror across the whole region, including their own country.
What Iran wants is simple: they want a peaceful, stable situation in Iraq, hopefully with a friendly, pro-Iranian regime in charge. Iran receives no benefit at all from the Inferno raging in Iraq, and the mess causes a lot of problems for Iran.
Iran also wants the US military out of Iraq, since by our presence there, we are threatening both Syria and Iran (this is one of the reasons the neocons plotted to have a large US troop presence in Iraq - to menace those two countries).
Second, isn't the one country "interfering in Iraq" more than any other called the US?
Talk of Iran interfering in Iraq is coming from three different sources.
The first is US imperialism, which hates Iran for a variety of reasons.
These reasons date back to Khomeini's revolution, the seizure of the hostages at the US embassy in Tehran immediately afterward, and then the attacks on US targets in Lebanon in the 1980's and Saudi Arabia in the 1990's by Shia radicals.
These attacks in Lebanon included a car bomb attack on the US embassy, a suicide truck bomb attack on a Marine barracks that killed 100's of Marines, kidnappings of various Americans and the capture and execution of a US CIA agent.
The kidnappings and killing of the CIA agent were done by Hezbollah, but it is not clear at all that Hezbollah attacked the barracks or bombed the embassy. For one thing, Hezbollah may not even have been formed yet when those attacks occurred. The barracks attack was claimed by a separate group that is not Hezbollah. However, it seems clear that Iran was involved in all of the above attacks.
The attacks in Saudi Arabia included the car bombing of the US military barracks at the Khobar Towers which killed two dozen US soldiers and wounded hundreds more. That attack is being pinned on an obscure organization called Saudi Hezbollah, not on the Lebanese Hezbollah as the US press often ignorantly states.
Saudi Hezbollah is one of maybe 50 small, shadowy armed Shia groups in Arabia, where the Shia are fired up about the outrageous racism they experience at the hand of Wahhabi Sunnis, who contemptuously regard them as infidels. The suggestion is that Iran was behind that bombing too.
The second source of anti-Iranian talk is coming from the KKK-Jews (Zionists) in Israel, who also have it in for Iran right now. They got rid of Iraq; now Syria and Iran are next on their list as they go for broke trying to wipe out all resistance in the region to their racist regime.
As Israel is now virtually a state of the US, Israel's interests are US interests. The fact that the US media is dominated by Zionists (both Jewish and Gentile) helps matters. Congress is completely controlled by a heavily Jewish Israeli Lobby, which also includes fundamentalist Christian elements.
The third source of anti-Iran sentiment is coming from Sunni Arabs, and Sunnis in general, who often hate Iran for various reasons, none of which are reasonable, and all of which are simply based on virulent racism.
An essential introduction to the tragic legacy of vicious anti-Iranian racism via Arab nationalism is Kaveh Farrokh's Arab Nationalism's Legacy of Confrontation With Iran.
The fact that US imperialism and World Jewry is in alliance with these ferocious, Nazi-like Sunni Muslim ultraracists is sickening and revolting.
The Jews of all people.
Yet Zionism has turned the Jews into a nation of killers, liars and thieves; those who cheer them on from the sidelines; and those who hide the criminals from justice or acquit them in court. Astute readers will note the analogy with the Jim Crow South. That is intentional.
As anti-Semitism hates Jews for what they are, not for what they do, there is nothing anti-Semitic in that statement. As the racists in the Antebellum South could cut it out any time they like, so can the KKK-Jews. Just say no to racism. It's not hard at all.
Along similar lines, neither is Syria supporting the Sunni guerrillas much. The Syrian regime is run by Alawi Shia, who are not even considered Muslims by many or most Sunni Muslims, due to the extreme heterodox nature of their sect.
To the fundamentalist Sunni guerrillas in Iraq, the Alawi are hated first for being Shia, and second and even worse for not even being real Shia. To too many Sunnis, Alawis are simply infidels.
The Alawi regime is threatened by the majority-Sunnis of Syria, many of whom support the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood. Hafez Assad waged war on these fundies in 1982, when they took over the city of Hama and declared an Islamic state in Syria.
The Syrian army invaded, destroyed the city and killed 10,000 people, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria was effectively destroyed. It remains in ruins in Syria to this day, where membership in the group is punishable by death.
The membership scattered to the far winds, especially to Saudi Arabia, where they joined the exiled Muslim Brotherhood from Egypt (exiled in another crackdown, this time by Gamel Nasser, President of Egypt). Both exiled Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) groups became religious teachers in Saudi Arabia around the time a number of religious schools were being set up there.
Wahhabi Islam in Arabia has not always been vicious, deranged and terroristic. Prior to the 1970's, it was largely quietist (a Muslim religious term for Muslims who are not active in politics, especially in armed politics).
The infusion of radicalized Ikhwan exiles with Saudi Wahhabi Islam (still ultra-radical, even if quietist) metastasized to create a savage, militant fundamentalist Islam in Saudi Arabia by the 1980's.
With the added boost of the Iranian revolution (which radicalized both Sunni and Shia Muslims around the world) of 1979 and the ensuing radical turmoil in Arabia (armed radicals captured the Kaaba, took hostages, and were routed in an armed counterattack that left hundreds dead) and the injection of the Afghan jihad of the 1980's, the result was we call the Al Qaeda type groupings of today.
To this day, all Al Qaeda groupings are still significantly associated with the Ikhwan. One could even say that when it comes to Al Qaeda-like groups, "All roads lead to the Ikhwan".
Based on that history, the notion that the super-secular Alawis of Syria would be supporting their most murderous enemies, the Sunni ultra-radical Salafist guerrillas in Iraq, is comical and pitiful.
Instead, my understanding is that Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and even more so, wealthy Saudis, and probably wealthy Arabs from other Gulf States, are supplying the Sunni Iraqi guerrillas. The dominant Arabian Sunnis are as frightened of Shia political power as White racists in the US South were mortified by the threat of Black political enfranchisement.
The dominant theme here is, "Shia is the nigger of (Muslim) World".
As you can see by the blatantly bigoted and murderously racist behavior of the Iraqi Shia militias described above, the Iraqi Shia are becoming "Niggaz with an attitude." Which only proves that, barring intervention, the abused will become abusers as surely as day follows night.
The accusations against Syria are coming from US imperialism and the KKK-Jews. Imperialism hates Syria, probably just because it is not an ally. Syria is not an ally because it is an Arab nationalist regime still locked in conflict with Israel. As the US wildly supports Israel, Syria is not happy with the US.
But Syria really has no interest in the US per se. Their main problem is with Israel, which is still illegally occupying Syrian land, in violation of all international law, and in defiance of 98% of the nations on Earth.
Due to this Occupation, Syria and Israel are legally still at war. Syria's interest is not to wipe out Israel, or kill all Jews or any of the crap that Zionists will tell you. Syrians just want the Golan back. To get it back, I am sure they will sell out Arab nationalism, the Palestinians, and the whole nine yards.
As a consequence of Israel's theft of the Syrian Golan Heights, Syria retaliates by funding and supporting various Palestinian armed groups. Due to this ongoing conflict, Syria is on Israel's list for regime change, along with Iran. The US simply has no real beneficial national interest in supporting Israel in this fight, other than that Israel is the 51st state of America.
Whenever you hear a US neoconservative commentator ranting about "Iran and Syria", the ghost of Ariel Sharon may as well be pulling the puppet strings in back of them while they speak.
In my opinion, the KKK-Jews, who were part of the plot to get us into this insane Iraq War, also hoped to drag Syria and possibly Iran in too. With US troops in Iraq, hardline Zionism worked to use US forces to taunt Syria. Only the Iraqi resistance stopped US forces from attacking Syria, and probably also Iran. Terrible as the Sunni guerrillas are, the world does owe them something.
A huge US army in Iraq de facto menacing Syria is a taunt to the Syrians, in order to provoke them into supporting the Iraqi resistance to keep the US at bay. But once they start supporting Iraqi guerrillas, the US has cause to attack Syria.
Yet if Syria cooperates in crushing the Sunni guerrillas and pacifying Iraq, the US will then be free to evacuate most troops from Iraq and invade Syria. Yet the mad civil war in Iraq tears the region asunder and actually threatens Syria in many ways, mostly that the jihad of their radical Sunni Islamist enemies can spread to Syria.
What does Syria want? Same as Iran. A peaceful and stable Iraq that is friendly to Syria. Like Iran, they also want all US troops out of Iraq, since those troops are threatening Syria by their very presence.
Syria is in a poignant spider's web; damned if she does; damned if she doesn't. This is the trap Zionism-imperialism has set for her, with the only way out being abject surrender to imperialism-Zionism in the region, as almost all of the other Arab states have already done.
Yes, Zionism actually wants to provoke Syria into conflict with the US. Incredible, no? As if the world did not have enough problems as it is, the cancer of World Zionism adds another huge dollop of instability to the quivering mess as it pumps the black poison of its influence, menace and power through the veins of a cringing and suffering world.
Truth is that Syria has cracked down ferociously on those who have gone to fight in Iraq. Many jihadis have been imprisoned, beaten and tortured. Their relatives have also been harassed. Supporters of the jihadis inside Syria have actually set up organizations to protest this crackdown. The blog Syria Comment has been covering this story for some time now.
The Sunni guerrillas are being supplied mostly from inside Iraq itself but also by neighboring Sunnis, as noted above. The Sunni guerrillas' external support is from US allies. The Shia militias are being funded from inside Iraq and are part of the US-allied Iraqi government.
Both sides of the Iraqi civil war are being funded and supported by US allies, not Syria and Iran. This is the lugubrious truth.
Many have wondered about the controversial study showing that 655,000 Iraqis had been killed by the US invasion of Iraq. Though the media has predictably poo-pooed the study, I studied it in depth and it is apparently a valid study. The same authors previously conducted a study in 2004 that found 100,000 deaths. That study was also very controversial.
The author of both studies, Les Roberts, wrote a piece in February 2006, prior to the latest study, in which he estimated 300,000 deaths. He lays out his reasons in the piece.
On July 12, 2005, an Iraqi group called Iraqiyun working with the Iraqi government counted 128,000 dead. These dead were lined up with actual names and records of the deceased based on door-to-door interviews throughout Iraq. Only dead confirmed by relatives were included, and the many who have vanished without a trace were not.
A study including infant mortality and looking at raw death rates has found an excess mortality of 900,000 deaths in Iraq since the US invasion, including 400,000 by infant mortality and 500,000 by other excess mortality. Note that the 500,000 figure includes excess deaths due to all causes related to the invasion - crime, stress, disease, dirty water, suicide, poor medical care, etc.
The same study, using raw death rate figures once again, found excess mortality of 2.9 million Iraqis from 1990-2003, almost all attributed to US and British sanctions, which were deliberately written to kill as many innocent Iraqis as possible. That figure includes 1.6 million via infant mortality and 1.3 million via other excess mortality, respectively. The study uses raw death rates, so the figures should be pretty good.
Those figures are from Gideon Polya, an Australian scientist who works, at least in part, in the field of excess mortality. He is the founder of the "Theory of Excess Mortality".
The US and Britain killed 2.9 million Iraqis via sanctions, then started a war that killed another 900,000 Iraqis. That adds up to 3.8 million dead Iraqis. Either way you cut the cake, the US and Britain killed far more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein, whose number of victims is estimated at 300,000 and who also started a war with Iran that killed another 875,000, for a total of 1.175 million dead.
In reality, the mad Iraqi racist war against completely innocent Iran was fully egged on by and coordinated by the US and later many other nations all over the world. We even gave Iraq detailed maps of Iranian front line military positions before he attacked. Later, with the war on, we supplied him with the chemical weapons he fired at Iranian troops.
So in reality, perhaps Saddam and the US should share the guilt for the Iran-Iraq war dead. Even granting (dubiously) Saddam full culpability for the Iran-Iraq war toll, the US and Britain still killed over three times as many Iraqis as Saddam Hussein.
In a just world, would any other leaders deserve to be swinging from the end of a rope, due to mass murder of Iraqis? Something to think about...
For those who are interested, I authored an 80+ page dossier on the state Iraqi guerrilla groups as of April 15, 2005. It was published in 3 parts, Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. The report is now pretty much out of date but still holds historical interest on the state of the Iraqi resistance at a certain point in time. In that report, I believe I identified over 120 separate groups fighting the US Coalition.

Truppe Pachistane Fucilano Prigionieri di Guerra Nella Valle dello Swat
I am looking for translators to translate this post into German and Tagalog. Email me if you are interested.
Portuguese translation (em Português). Spanish translation (en Español). French translation (en Français).
Durante l'estate del 2009, le truppe regolari Pachistane hanno avuto duri scontri con i ribelli Talebani nella valle dello Swat. Per sedare la rivolta, i militari non sono andati per il sottile...ci sono stati diversi reportage su esecuzioni di massa di giovani mussulmani Pashtun.
Il primo di ottobre del 2010 l' utente 'drjack20061', evidente portavoce di una Associazione Internazionale Pashtun, ha diffuso su YouTube questi 5 stupefacenti minuti che ci mostrano la fucilazione di un gruppo di Talebani, prigionieri di guerra.
Sebbene l'esercito Pachistano abbia dichiarato che si tratta di un video farlocco usato solo per diffamazione (non ci sono prove concrete sulla veridicità del filmato), mi sembra che le immagini siano piuttosto eloquenti.
In effetti, l'esercito pachistano ha usato metodi salvadoregni : le torture e le esecuzioni sommarie erano all'ordine del giorno;
i cadaveri massacrati, legati ed imbavagliati dei Talebani venivano esposti ai bordi delle strade come ammonimento alla popolazione locale.
Tuttavia questa strategia del terrore ha avuto solamente un breve successo: come l'Araba Fenice la guerriglia Pashtun ha ripreso vita, la lotta è ripresa feroce. La 'ribellione Swat' assomiglia ad uno di quei zombi cinematografici...gli spari e pensi di averlo ucciso ed invece lui si alza e cammina...e viene per mangiarti...
Tecnicamente il video è di scarsissima qualità: qualcuno ha furtivamente filmato la scena con un cellulare, a momenti le immagini scompaiono. L'operatore (un civile, un soldato?) ha un'evidente paura di essere scoperto, questa esecuzione si svolge durante una battaglia, si sentono cantare le mitragliatrici e rimbombare dei colpi di cannone.
Il 'rito' della fucilazione è sempre lo stesso, è una pratica collaudata...dei soldati scortano dei condannati che si avviano lentamente verso il luogo prestabilito (di solito verso un muro, no?).
Sei giovani Pashtun, riconoscibili dai loro tradizionali vestiti, sono legati e bendati, non fanno resistenza. Diversi soldati ben armati, con le classiche divise dell'esercito pachistano, formano il plotone di esecuzione.
I condannati sono schierati di fronte al plotone ed ecco che arriva un barbuto ufficiale che si rivolge brevemente ad ognuno di loro:
non si sentono le parole ma di sicuro non sono frasi di pace e fraternità...
L'ufficiale schiera il suo plotone, adesso si possono udire le voci dei soldati che parlano in Urdu, la lingua ufficiale dell'esercito pachistano. Nella regione Swat è una lingua praticamente sconosciuta.
Il disordinato plotone si prepara all'ordine del comandante...mirate, fuoco ! Non mi sembra siano dei gran tiratori, 'sti pachistani...i pianti ed i gemiti dei condannati echeggiano forti, da giovani e forti combattenti sono tornati bambini indifesi, agnellini sacrificali...Il colpo di grazia è d'obbligo: in questo caso ne sono necessari molti; i mitragliatori scuotono i corpi, lo strazio è finito.
Ed anche il video è finito.

Tropas Pakistaníes Ejecutan Prisioneros de Guerra en Swat Valley

This is the Spanish translation of the Pakistani Troops Execute POW's in Swat Valley post. Translator: Fabián Aguilar, a crazy guy from Bogotá, Colombia, who likes Saturdays.
Este increíble video de las tropas pakistaníes ejecutando prisioneros de guerra talibanes en Swat Valley en Pakistán durante una ardua batalla, fue subido a YouTube por un usuario llamado 'drjack20061' el 1ro de octubre de 2010. La Pashtun International Association reclamó el material del video el cual es de más de 5 minutos de duración.
El ejército pakistaní dice que el video es falso y que pretende dar mala fama a su institución. No existe prueba alguna de que el video sea real, pero la evidencia disponible sugiere que tal vez lo sea. Por ejemplo, han habido muchos reportes de ejecuciones en masa de jóvenes islamitas pashtunés en Swat Valley durante la rebelión de Swat en el verano de 2009.
Especialmente hacia el final de la campaña, largos números de rebeldes fueron cercados y desaparecidos por el ejército pakistaní. Muchos de sus cuerpos aparecieron días más tarde a los lados de las carreteras, con los ojos vendados, atados, con heridas de bala y con señales de tortura. Todo con el propósito de hacerle la salvadorización a la Rebelión de Swat Valley.
Estos homicidios en masa parecieron ponerle fin de una u otra forma a la rebelión por un tiempo, aunque los habitantes de esta región estaban en un alto estado de ira mezclada con terror impotente.
Pero algún tiempo luego de que la rebelión había sido pisoteada, un peculiar recrudecimiento se levanto de nuevo este otoño, como el ave Fénix de los sangrientos huesos. La rebelión comienza a parecer algo zombie. Los noqueas y luego de que piensas que los has matado, se levantan de nuevo y vienen una vez más hacia ti.
Este video fue capturado con un teléfono celular, por lo cual la calidad es muy pobre. Parece haber sido grabado clandestinamente bajo una situación de alto riesgo. Como si de ser pillado in fraganti, el autor hubiera pagado un alto castigo.
En los primeros minutos del video vemos varios jóvenes pashtunés con sus atuendos tradicionales, con los ojos vendados, atados y lentamente siendo llevados a una línea a la cual eventualmente llegan seis de ellos. En el otro lado, soldados paquistaníes plenamente armados están alineando sus armas automáticas. Sus uniformes parecen ser de la fuerza armada de Paquistán. Un oficial de barba parece ser el hombre a cargo.
En el fondo, se puede oír a veces algo que suena como disparos de armas automáticas rebotando en el aire y artillería sonando a lo lejos. Es bastante obvio que están ubicados en medio de una zona de guerra.
Los hombres, en silencio, están alineados. El hombre de barba se acerca a ellos diciendo algo inaudible, luego se devuelve y los soldados comienzan a hablar. Se puede ir claramente lo que dicen, hablan Urdu. Urdu es el lenguaje de la fuerza armada de Pakistán y se habla muy poco en Swat Valley.
Los soldados alistan sus armas y disparan derrumbando a todos los muchachos, pronto, ellos comienzan a gemir horriblemente. El tétrico y triste llanto me hace acordar al de una oveja o el de un bebé. Los soldados luego avanzan y vacían sus armas contra los cuerpos. Las armas son muy potentes, tanto que los cuerpos se desprenden del suelo con cada disparo. Los cuerpos yacen en silencio, inertes. Y el llanto ha parado.
El video termina.
Tropas Paquistaneses Executam Prisioneiros de Guerra em Vale do Swat

This is the Portuguese translation of the Pakistani Troops Execute POW's in Swat Valley post.
Este vídeo incrível de tropas paquistaneses que executam talibãs em Vale do Swat no Paquistão durante lutas intensivas aí no verão de 2009 foi carregado no You Tube por um usuário chamado "drjack20061" no 1 outubro de 2010. A Associação Internacional de Pashtun alega ser autor do filme. Ele dura 5 minutos.
Os militares paquistaneses dizem que o filme é uma falsificação com a intenção de difamar as forças armadas. Não há prova de que a fita é verídica, mas as indicações existentes sugerem que muito bem poderia ser. Por exemplo, houve muitas notícias de execuções em massa de jovens islamistas pashtun em Vale do Swat durante a Rebelião de Swat em 2009.
Principalmente durante o final da campanha, numerosos rebeldes foram reunidos e eliminados pelos militares paquistaneses. Muitos dos seus cadáveres reapareceram depois às beiras das estradas, vendados e amarrados, e com feridas de bala e indicações de tortura. Foi nada menos que a salvadorização da Rebelião de Swat.
A carnificina dos prisioneiros de guerra do exército de guerrilheiros de Vale do Swat parece ter acabado com a rebelião por enquanto, embora o estado de ãnimo dos habitantes fosse uma mistura de alta indignação e pavor impotente.
Porém, pouco depois da repressão da Rebelião de Swat, ela ressurgiu como fênix de suas cinzas neste outono. A Rebelião de Swat é parecida a um zumbi. A gente a derruba e pensa que está morta, mas ela se levanta de novo e volta ao ataque.
O vídeo foi rodado com um celular e a sua qualidade é péssima. Parece que foi feito às escondidas em condições muito arriscadas. O fotógrafo pode ter corrido o risco de castigo se fosse prendido durante a filmagem do incidente.
Durante os primeiros minutos do vídeo, vemos vários jovens pashtun em trajes tradicionais, vendados e amarrados. Eles são enfileirados em grupos de 6. No outro lado, soldados paquistaneses bem equipados se põem fila e preparam suas armas automáticas. A roupa deles parece ser o que o exército paquistanês usa. Um oficial barbudo parece ter o comando.
No fundo, você pode às vezes ouvir no ar ruídos de descargas de armas automáticas e de cartuchos que caem. Obviamente, estamos no meio de uma zona de guerra.
Os homens, calados, são enfileirados. O barbudo vai de um para outro, proferindo palavras inaudíveis. Então ele volta atrás e os soldados começam a falar. Podemos ouvir o qe eles estão dizendo, e eles estão falando em Urdu. Urdu é a língua do exército paquistanês e é pouco usado em Swat.
Os soldados preparam as suas armas e disparam, e todos os homens caem no chão. Logo eles estão gemendo horrivelmente. O som arrepiante e horripilante nos lembra os balidos de uma ovelha ou o choro de uma criança. Então os soldados avançam e descargam as suas armas nos corpos gementes. As armas são poderosas, e os corpos saltam do chão com cada descarga. Logo os corpos se calam e os horríveis balidos param.
O vídeo termina.

Pakistani Troops Execute POW's in Swat Valley
I am looking for translators to translate this post into German and Tagalog. Email me if you are interested.

This amazing video of Pakistani troops executing Taliban POW's in the Swat Valley of Pakistan during heavy fighting there in Summer 2009 appeared on the Internet uploaded to YouTube by a user named 'drjack20061' on October 1, 2010. The footage was claimed by the Pashtun International Association. It is over 5 minutes long.
The Pakistani military says that the footage is fake and intended to defame the military. There is no proof that the tape is real, but the available evidence suggests that it may well be. For instance, there have long been reports of mass executions of young Pashtun Islamists in the Swat Valley during the Swat Rebellion in Summer 2009.
Especially towards the end of the campaign, large numbers of fighters were rounded up and disappeared by the Pakistani military. Many of their bodies reappeared later by the sides of roads, blindfolded and bound, with bullet wounds and signs of serious torture. It was for all intents and purposes the Salvadorization of the Swat Valley Rebellion.
This mass murder of the Swat Valley guerrilla army POW's seemed to have put an end to the rebellion for some time, though residents were in a state of high outrage mixed with impotent terror.
But some time after the Swat Rebellion had been stomped, a peculiar recrudescence arose again, Phoenix-like, from the bloodied bones this fall. The Swat Rebellion is starting to look like a zombie. You knock it down and even think you kill it, and it just gets up again and keeps coming at you.
The video is shot with a cellphone and is very poor in quality. It seems to have been taken clandestinely under conditions of extreme risk. The photographer may have been under risk of be punishment if he was caught filming the incident.
For the first few minutes of the video, we see several young Pashtun men wearing traditional garb, blindfolded and bound, slowly being moved into a line that eventually reaches six men. On the other side, fully equipped Pakistani soldiers are lining up and fixing their automatic weapons. Their garb looks like what the Pakistani army wears. A bearded officer appears to be in charge.
In the background, you can sometimes hear what sounds like automatic weapons fire ricocheting in the air and artillery shells slamming away. We are obviously in the midst of a war zone.
The men, silent, are lined up. The bearded man goes from one to the other, saying making a very short statement that is inaudible. Then he moves back and the soldiers begin to speak. We can hear what they are saying, and they speak in Urdu. Urdu is the language of Pakistani army and is little spoken in Swat.
The soldiers ready their weapons, fire, and all of the men fall down. Soon they are moaning horribly. The creepy and awful sound reminds one of sheep baying or children wailing. The soldiers then advance forward and empty their weapons into the wailing bodies. The guns are very powerful, and the bodies lift off the ground with each hit. Soon the bodies are silent, and the horrible baying has stopped.
The video ends.

Jeg legger ut denne videoen fordi den er relatert til den Nynazistiske halshoggingsvideoen som skapte en storm på internettet.
Et mye viktigere spørsmål er hvorfor russiske nynazister valgte å drepe den første mannen med (en riktignok mislykket) halshogging. Svaret ligger i denne videoen. Selv om de fleste amerikanere og nordmenn ikke vet noen ting om disse videoene, var de spredt rundt i Russland, trolig rundt den tiden de ble skutt.
En veldig berømt video, chechclear, ble filmet i 1996 på slutten av den første tsjetsjenske krigen.
Videoen ovenfor ble filmet 5. September, 1999, når en tsjetsjensk opprørsgruppe på 200 menn fra Tsjetsjenia stormet over grensen til Dagestan. Noen i denne gruppen, rundt 40 stykker, fant en landsby, Tuhchar, eller Tuhcharom, som ble voktet av 13 dårlig trente russiske vernepliktige. Ulike sider på nettet hevder at denne gruppen ble ledet av Salautdin Temirbulatov (bilde), men det ser ikke ut til å være tilfelle.
I stedet er Temirbulatov mannen som halshugget den ukjente russiske vernepliktige i det berømte chechclear-klippet.
Denne gruppen ble faktisk ledet av Emir Umar Karpinski, med tilknytning til Basajev og Khattab sine islamistiske geriljatakter.
I åpenbart undertall, klarte syv av de tretten å løpe unna og gjemme seg i landsbyen, men de andre seks ble tatt til fange.
Fem av de ble halshogd*; en sjette reiste seg og prøvde å løpe vekk, men han ble skutt og drept. En annen var en 17 år gammel gutt, og opprørerne tilbød ham det generøse valget mellom å konvertere til Islam eller bli skutt. Han nektet å konvertere og ble skutt.
Her er samtalen, oversatt fra en russisk og tsjetsjensk dialog, fra den delen av båndet der de forhandlet med offeret, Aleksey Lipatov, som tryglet for sitt liv, og deretter ble myrdet:
Den russiske fangen, en ung gutt, ligger på gresset...Et par måneder senere, ble gruppen desimert i en russisk-tsjetsjensk operasjon. To spesialstyrker fant sted i operasjonen; den nylig oppløste tsjetsjenske Vostok Brigaden fra den tjetjenske regjeringen, og den russiske Spetznatz-Spesialstyrken. Videoen utgitt av tsjetsjenerne ble brukt som bevis mot dem som begikk forbrytelser for å spore dem opp. Noen sier de ble drept i et russisk bombeangrep.
Tsjetsjeneren med kniv: "Snu deg."
Gutten snur seg sidelengs...
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Legg deg ned!"
Tsjetsjeneren tar kniven ut og bøyer seg mot gutten...
Lipatov: "Du trenger ikke å stikke meg...Jeg skal fortelle deg alt ..."
Tsjetsjeneren med kniv: "Hva skal du fortelle meg?"
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Kom igjen, snakk..."
Lipatov: "Jeg skal fortelle deg hvor det ligger."
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Hvor er det plassert?"
Lipatov peker mot en bakke med et hus: "Der, i det huset."
Tsjetsjeneren med kniv: "Hva?"
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Hva er i det huset?"
Lipatov: "Våpen og ammunisjon."
Tsjetsjeneren med kniv: "Hvor? I det huset?" Peker.
Lipatov: "Ja der."
Tsjetsjeneren med kniv ser på kameraten sin.
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Han lyver..."
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Ligg på bakken."
Tsjetsjenske med kniv: "Hva mer kan du fortelle oss?"
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Hvor er våpnene?"
Lipatov: "Hva?"
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Våpnene og ammunisjonen."
Lipatov: "På toppen av fjellet."
Tsjetsjenske med kniv: "Hvor?"
Lipatov: "Der på toppen." Peker.
Tsjetsjenske med kniv: "Er du sikker?"
Lipatov: "Ja, ja."
AK-skudd avfyres...tsjetsjeneren med kniv trekker seg tilbake og ønsker ikke å stikke ham...synes synd på gutten:
"Hva vil du jeg skal gjøre?" På tjetjensk.
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Bare stikk ham."
Lipatov: "Der, det er rett der." Peker.
Tsjetsjenere roper: "La han være og kom tilbake!"
En haug av dem skriker på en gang. Pistolskudd avfyrt fra AK-47.
Tsjetsjenere fortsetter å rope: "La ham være i fred...kom tilbake etterpå." (De henviser til den andre gutten som løp.)
Tsjetsjeneren med kniven: "Snu deg."
Tsjetsjener: "Ta av deg beltet."
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Bare klipp ham."
Lipatov: "Det, det er rett der." Poeng.
Tsjetsjenere roper: "La ham alene, og komme tilbake!"
En haug av dem kjefte på en gang. Pistolskudd avfyrt fra AK-47.
Tsjetsjenere holde roping: "La ham være i fred...komme tilbake allerede." (De henviser til den andre gutten som kjørte.)
Tsjetsjenske med kniven: "Snu deg."
Tsjetsjenske: "Ta av deg beltet."
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Kom igjen, stikk han."
Lipatov: "Du må ikke."
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Bare stikk han nå."
Lipatov: "Du trenger ikke, vær så snill..."
Tsjetsjensk idiot slår han med beltet.
Tsjetsjener: "All right, kom igjen!"
Tsjetsjener med Adidas jakke: "Hendene bak!"
Lipatov: "Vær så snill, ikke."
Tsjetsjenske (Adidas): "Hendene bak!"
Tsjetsjenske (Adidas) slår Lipatov i ansiktet: "Jeg sa hendene bak!"
Lipatov blir slått med en AK-47.
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Fort, fort."
Lipatov: "Vær så snill, la oss snakke..."
Tsjetsjeneren med kameraet: "Hendene bak! Din jævel."
Tsjetsjener: "Drit i beltet."
Slår gutten med automat gevær.
Tsjetsjeneren bak kameraet: "Faen, bare stikk han!"
Lipatov: "Vær så snill, jeg vil ikke."
De slåss.
Lipatov skriker: "JEG VIL IKKE DØ, VÆR SÅ SNILL!"
Tsjetsjenere: "Stikk han."
Lipatov gråter.
Lipatov: "JEG VIL IKKE DØ, VÆR SÅ SNILL! DERE ER VELDIG GODE MENNESKER, VÆR SÅ SNILL!"
Kameramann: "Ja, vi er veldig, veldig gode mennesker...DE BESTE"
Tsjetsjener: "Få kniven."
Tsjetsjener slår gutten i hodet et par ganger.
Tsjetsjener med kniven: "Stopp med å slå han for faen."
Kameramann: "Du skal bo i 'Gravenes by'."
Lipatov: "MAMMA! MAMMA!"
Kameramann: "Torturer han."
Lipatov: "Jeg vil leve!"
Kameramann, sarkastisk: "Han vil leve!"
Lipatov skriker...3 mot 1, tsjetsjenerne angriper han.
Lipatov: "Kom igjen karer...Jeg vil bare leve."
Tsjetsjener: "STIKK HAN NÅ."
Lipatov: "La meg være!"
En kniv går gjennom halsen til Lipatov. Lipatov kneler mens han blir slått i hodet med en AK-47.
Tsjetsjener med kniv til fyren med AK-47: "Hva faen gjør du? Dra til helvete."
Tsjetsjenske med kniv: "Jeg skal gjøre dette selv!"
En tsjetsjener stikker Lipatov i halsen, så stikkes han i nakken... igjen og igjen og igjen...Lipatov er død.
Alle tsjetsjenere sett i denne videoen ble drept før eller siden, så alle du ser i denne videoen er døde nå.
Denne videoen er i fire eller fem deler, og dette er tydeligvis del fire eller fem. Denne videoen går ved ulike navn rundt på nettet, og er ofte funnet på russiske forum, men alle kommentarene er i russisk. Den kalles blant annet Dagestan, Dagestan massakerne, Henrettelsen av seks russiske vernepliktige i Dagestan, Opprørere dreper brutalt soldater i Øst-Europa, Tsjetsjenske monstre, etc.
Denne spesielle videoen, selvom den er filmet i 1999, ser kun ut til å ha gjort inntrykk siden Juli 2007.
Allikevel var disse videoene utgitt på nettet før, og sett av mange i den russiske offentligheten. Dette forsterket hatet mot tsjetsjenerne, spesielt på grunn av det faktum at disse gutta var unge vernepliktige. Tsjetsjenske apologeter hevder at russiske vernepliktige har gjort alle slags forferdelige ting mot tsjetsjenere, både mot soldater og sivile.
De sier også at det var bare én kommandør, og reflekterer ikke de andres synspunkter.
Det er nok sant, men ingenting av det unngår den konklusjon at disse krigene, som startet med å være ganske utkjempet, utvikler seg nå til ubeskrivelig brutalitet fra begge sider. Tsjetsjenske apologeter sier at dette er det som skjer med deg når du mister hele familien, eller i hvertfall noen medlemmer, frunnet det det russiske militæret.
Det er nok neppe en tsjetsjensk familie som ikke har hatt en slektning drept eller mishandlet av russerne. Den logiske konsekvensen er at en guttegjeng full av raseri, har ingenting å tape, kombinert med en økende tro på islam. Den forderdelige Gisseldramaet i Beslan var også et forventet utfall av denne hellige krigen.
Tsjetsjenerne har også sprengt noen passasjerfly fullt av sivile. Før gisseldramaet, iscenesatte noen tsjetsjenske kvinner i selvmordsvester, en gisselsituasjon i Moskva kino. Det endte med at russiske agenter stormet stedet og sprøyting bedøvelsesgass inn i teateret, og drepte flere gisler.
Tony Ward's Saken for Tsjetsjenia, fra New Left Review, er sterkt anbefalt, og oppsummerer min posisjon. Til tross for den forferdelige terrorismen (for å være ærlig; fra begge sider) bør den tsjetsjenske grunnen til nasjonal frigjøring fortsatt være støttet.
Dessverre har russerne drept de fleste av de mer moderate lederne, senest Aslan Maskhadov, som var faktisk en bra kar. Men selv Maskhadov hadde blitt mer millitær etterhvert som den forferdelige krigen fortsatte.
Russerne hadde aldri rett til å erobre Tsjetsjenia uansett, og det tok dem 60 år å erobre stedet - de startet rundt 1805 og beseiret til slutt tsjetsjenere rundt 1863. I løpet av denne perioden var Shamil den legendariske tsjetsjenske kommandanten. Selv da, akseptert aldri tjetsjenerne et russisk styre (som opprinnelig stort sett bare var nominelt) og det var gjentatte opprør, selv under den sovjetiske æraen.
Da nazistene invaderte Russland, gikk mange tsjetsjenere, sammen med de fleste andre i Kaukasus, over til nazistene, ikke på grunn av en kjærlighet til nazismen, men fordi Hitler lovet dem selvstendighet, men vi bør også merke oss at mange mennesker i Kaukasus kjempet for Sovjetunionen.
Om Hitler virkelig var villig til å gi dem uavhengighet er tvilsomt, akkurat som Hitler brukte det samme knepet med ukrainerne, og det var tydelig og klart at de skulle folkemyrdes i Generalplan Øst, og ikke gis uavhengighet i det hele tatt.
I 1944, reagerte Stalin mot dette med raseri, og deporterte hele etniske grupper i tog bort fra fronten i nærheten av Kaukasus. Forholdene på togene var forferdelige, med lite mat og vann tilgjengelig. Hvorvidt dette var tilsiktet eller ikke er ikke kjent, men mange tsjetsjenere - menn, kvinner og barn - døde på vei til Sibir.
Da tsjetsjenerne til slutt ble lovet å komme tilbake over et tiår senere fra arbeidsleirene (der de var de mest opprørske folkene av alle) fant de ut at mye av deres eiendom var blitt overtatt av deres kristne naboer.
Dette er en del av den morderiske fasaden ved gisseltakingen av den Nord-Ossetiske Beslan skole av tsjetsjenske og ingusjetiske terrorister. Christian Nord hadde tatt mye ingusjetiske eiendom i løpet av tiåret der de ble deportert sammen med tsjetsjenere. Minnene er store i denne delen av verden.
Selv om krigen har avtatt betraktelig med innføringen av en ny Moskva-regjeringen i Tsjetsjenia, fortsetter den å frese. Det er bare rundt 8.000 russiske soldater i Tsjetsjenia, sammenlignet med 60 000 så sent som i 2005. Det er trolig rundt 2000 geriljaer fortsatt rundt i fjellene.
De fleste tsjetsjenere er trolig fortsatt uavhengige. I de senere årene, har krigene spredt over hele Nord-Kaukasus til Dagestan, Ingusjetia, Nord-Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria og Karatsjajevo-Tsjerkessia. Det har også vært mange angrep i Sør-Russland like nord for Kaukasus.
Hva å gjøre med den nynazistiske halshogginga? Som jeg sa, vekket de halshuggervideoene et enormt nasjonalistisk raseri i et bredt spekter i det russiske samfunnet (Den russiske fredsbevegelse for å avslutte den andre tsjetsjenske krigen er veldig liten, upopulær og ofte forfulgt) og klart det styrte de ultranasjonalistiske til vanvidd.
Videoene og selve krigen styrte trolig hele den ultranasjonalistiske bevegelsen, og det ga dem slagkraft og horder av nye medlemmer. I budskapet til den russiske nynazistiske videoen, krevde gruppen at alle kaukasiske innfødte ble kastet ut av Kaukasus, og at Kaukasus da ble gjort uavhengige. De krevde også at alle folk i Kaukasus og asiatere ble kastet ut av Russland.
Å se hvor opphissede og gale russiske slaver ble av disse filmene av halshuggingen, er jeg sikker på at de russiske nynazistene i sin berømte video halshogget Shamil Odamanov, en muslim og en dagestaner (fra Kaukasus), som hevn for halshuggingen av russiske vernepliktige av den tsjetsjensk-muslimske kaukasiske geriljaen.
Ellers var jeg ikke klar over at nazistene likte halshugging. Det er en ganske muslimsk ting, og deres preferanse for det går helt tilbake til Mohammed (Det var hans favorittmåte å drepe folk på).
Det er trist at folk syns det er så spennende at tsjetsjenerne skjærer krigsfangers hoder av. For den døde personen spiller det ingen rolle hvordan han døde.
Russerne myrdet alle slags tsjetsjenere med kaldt blod - 12 år gamle gutter, slektninger av opprørerne osv. De gjorde utslettninger gjennom hele deler av landet, tok med seg hver mann kampalder og sendte dem til leirer der de ble torturert, ofte til døden. Det er massegraver over hele landet, og et anslag som er gjort viser at Russland har drept 20% av befolkningen.
Av denne grunn, sluttet mange unge tsjetsjenske menn seg til opprørerne fordi de skjønte at russerne skulle komme etter dem før eller senere uansett.
Dette er en interessant diskusjon av disse halshoggingsvideoene, sammenlignet med barneporno og spørsmål om hvorfor barneporno er ulovlig når så mange ser på det, men ting som dette ikke er ulovlig, med tanke på at brutale drap kanskje er enda verre enn barn som blir sex-misbrukt.
*I denne videoen, ser man tsjetsjenere som ler og roper "Allahu Akbar!" hele tiden. De skjærer langsomt over halvparten av halsen til soldatene, slik at ofrene forblir levende og lider en god stund.
Selv med halsen halvveis kuttet, beveger fortsatt noen seg, prøver å krype, kravler rundt på bakken, beveger hodet rundt, tørker øynene og lage rare lyder ut av hva som er igjen av deres vokale traktater. Ofrenes skriker, "Stopp! Slipp meg!" på russisk.

Kaksitoista Vuotias Pakistanilainen Poika Mestaa Miehen
This is the Finnish version of the 12 Year Old Pakistani Boy Beheads a Man post. The translator is Juliana Kullanen of Finland. She does great work!
If you are under 18, you may NOT watch this video! If you are a parent and are concerned about your kids viewing this post, please either supervise and/or restrict your children's Internet use or invest in a blocking program.
I am looking for translators to translate this post into Macedonian and Romanian. Email me if you are interested.
Portuguese version (em Português). French version here (en Français). German version (in deutscher Sprache). Korean version (한국).
Olin kuullut tästä todella kammottavasta videosta jo kauan aikaa sitten, mutta jättänyt sen katsomatta tähän saakka.
Inhoan mestaus videoita ja yritän välttää niitä yleensä. Olen kuullut monista samanlaisista mestausvideoista mutta kieltäytynyt katsomasta niitä.
Tämä oli yksi niistä, mutta lopulta päätin katsoa sen, kun joku linkitti videon Wordpressin sivuille.
Se on melko kuuluisa jatkuvasti lisääntyvien (suorastaan tulvivien) modernien mestausvideoiden joukossa.
Kuuluisan siitä tosin tekee ainoastaan se, että mestaajana toimii vasta 12 vuotias poika, joka mestaa aikuisen miehen katkaisemalla uhrin kaulan!
Tapahtuma paikkana on heimoalue Pakistanissa, luultavasti joko pohjois- tai etelä Waziristanin alueella, tarkkaa aikaa tapahtumasta ei ole, mutta oletan sen tapahtuneen vasta hiljattain.
Uhrin sanottiin olleen Yhdysvaltojen ja Pakistanin armeijan vakoilija. Alue luultavasti onkin täynnä Yhdysvaltojen vakoilijoita, sillä Yhdysvallat tekevät alueelle säännöllisiä iskuja.
Kuten nähtyä, poika muuttuu todella kammottavaksi mestaajaksi saatuaan käteensä terävän veitsen, jolla katkaisee uhrin kaulan, veren tulviessa ja virratessa kuin puro. Näyttää samalta kuin teurastaja leikkaisi lehmältä pään irti!
Samaan aikaan, kaapuihin pukeutuneet nuoret Muslimi tytöt (!) katsovat ja kannustavat poikaa jatkamaan.
Jostain kumman syystä uhri ei tunnu laittavan erityisemmin vastaan, mutta kyseessä on tyypillinen mestaus Pakistanin heimoalueilla. En ole varma, miksi. Ehkä uhrit huumataan tai he vain alistuvat kohtaloonsa.
Joka tapauksessa, kyseessä on sairas ja karmaiseva video! On väärin, että nämä ääri islamistit opettavat jopa lapsille (kuten tämä 12 vuotias poika), miten tulla halveksittavaksi murhaajaksi.

Menino Paquistanês de 12 Anos de Idade, Decapa um Homem
This is the Portuguese version of the 12 Year Old Pakistani Boy Beheads a Man post. Translation by Elaine of Brazil, a great translator.

Este é um vídeo realmente horrível que eu tenho ouvido falar por muito tempo, mas odiei a ver até agora. Verdade seja dita, eu odeio vídeos decapitando, apesar de eu vê-los de vez em quando, eu geralmente evitá-los. Há muitos vídeos de decapitação que eu tenho ouvido falar, mas se recusaram a assistir.
Este foi um deles, mas eu finalmente decidi vê-lo desde que alguém ligado no site do Wordpress(Mundo da Imprensa). É muito famoso e a cada vez mais mundano (como no alagado) panteão de vídeos decapitando, é terrível. É só ficou famosa por causa de um menino de 12 anos está fazendo a cabeça de corte!
O evento ocorreu nas áreas tribais do Paquistão, provavelmente no Norte ou do Sul do Waziristão, recentemente, embora eu não tenho a data exata. A vítima disse que era para ser um espião para os E.U. e as forças armadas paquistanesas. A área é provavelmente cheio de espiões E.U., como zangões E.U. fazer ataques regulares que só poderia ocorrer se tivéssemos grande chances de não cair no chão.
Como seria de esperar, ele é verdadeiramente horrível, principalmente porque ele tem o uso de ua faca... muito bom! Ele leva uma eternidade para ver a cabeça do pobre rapaz de fora, e o sangue corre como um riacho no mesmo período. Parece que um açougueiro serrar a cabeça de uma vaca! Entretanto, os muçulmanos camuflam totalmente , possivelmente as meninas, eles poupam a vida delas.
O cara que é morto coloca-se quase sem luta a todos por algum motivo, mas isso é típico de bedeadings nas áreas tribais do Paquistão. Eu não sei por que isso é. Eles são ou drogado ou resignados à morte.
Enfim, este vídeo é terrível, deprimente... bizarro! É uma merda que esses vermes islâmicos estão ensinando o que são, basicamente, as crianças (uma de 12 anos é um menino), como ser o mais vil dos assassinos.

12 Jahre Alter Pakistanischer Junge Koepft Mann

Dies ist ein wirklich schreckliches Video von dem ich seit langem gehört habe, aber bis jetzt habe ich es immer verschoben das Video anzuschauen. Um die Wahrheit zu sagen hasse ich Enthauptungsvideos: Obwohl ich sie hin und wieder anschaue vermeide ich sie normalerweise. Es gibt viele Enthauptungsvideos von denen ich gehört, mich aber geweigert habe sie an zu schauen.
Dieses war eins von ihnen. Aber ich habe mich endlich dazu entschlossen es an zu schauen, da es jemand auf Wordpress verlinkt hat. Es ist ziemlich berühmt in der zunehmend schlichter werdenden Ruhmeshalle der modernen Enthauptungsvideos. Es ist nur berühmt weil ein 12 Jahre alter Junge die Enthauptung durchführt!
Das Geschehen ereignete sich vor kurzem in den Stammesgegenden Pakistans. Vermutlich entweder in Nord oder Süd Waziristan. Allerdings weiß ich das genaue Datum nicht. Das Opfer soll ein Spion für die USA und das pakistanische Militär gewesen sein. Dieses Gebiet ist wahrscheinlich voller amerikanischer Spione, da amerikanische Drohnen regelmäßig Angriffe fliegen die sich nur ereignen können wenn sie großartige Intel vom Boden bekommen.
Wie wir es erwarten könnten ist er ein wirklich schrecklicher Henker, besonders weil man ihm ein sehr gutes Messer gegeben hat. Er braucht eine Ewigkeit um den Kopf des armen Kerls ab zu sägen und in der Zwischenzeit fließt das Blut wie ein Bach. Es sieht aus wie ein Schlachter der den Kopf einer Kuh absägt! Derweil schauen ihm vollständig vermummte Moslems, möglicherweise junge Mädchen (!), dabei zu und stacheln ihn an.
Der Typ der getötet wird bring aus irgendeinem Grund so gut wie keine Gegenwehr auf. Aber das ist typisch für Enthauptungen in den Stammesgegenden in Pakistan. Ich bin mir nicht sicher warum das so ist. Sie werden entweder unter Drogen gesetzt oder sie haben sich mit dem Tod abgefunden.
Jedenfalls ist dieses Video verdammt widerlich und krank! Es ist scheiße, dass diese islamistischen Drecksäcke Kindern (mit 12 Jahren ist man ein kleiner Junge) beibringen wie man der übelste aller Mörder wird.

Décapitation d'un Homme par un Enfant Pakistanais de 12 Ans
This is the French translation of the 12 Year Old Pakistani Boy Beheads a Man post by Natalie of France, an excellent translator.

Si vous êtes mineurs vous ne devez pas regarder cette vidéo! Si vous êtes parent et concerné par le fait que votre enfant puisse voir ces images, veuillez les surveiller ou installer un logiciel de contrôle parental.
Je recherche des traducteurs pour traduire cet article en Macédonien et Finlandais (Finnois). Si vous êtes intéressés écrivez-moi.
Il s'agit d'une vidéo vraiment horrible dont j'ai entendu parler il y a très longtemps, et que j'ai evité de regarder jusqu'à présent. Je dois dire la vérité, je deteste les vidéos de décapitation, même si je les regarde une fois de temps en temps, généralement je les évite. Il existe beaucoup de vidéos de ce genre dont j'ai entendu parler et que j'ai refusé de regarder.
Celle-ci était l'une d'entre elles, mais finalement j'ai décidé de la regarder depuis que quelqu'un l'a mise sur le site de Wordpress. Elle est très connue dans la grandissante banalité du pantheon des vidéos de décapitation modernes. Elle ne remporte un grand succès que parce que c'est un enfant de 12 ans qui tranche la tête.
Le fait a eu lieu récemment dans un zone tribale du Pakistan, probablement dans le Nord ou le Sud Waziristan, je ne connais pas la date exacte. La victime était considérée comme un espion à la solde des Etats Unis et des militaires pakistanais. La zone est probablement infestée d'espions U.S. puisque les drones attaquent régulièrement, ce qui arrive seulement si il y a des renseignements depuis le sol.
Comme on peut s'y attendre, il est un horrible bourreau, surtout à cause du fait qu'on lui a fourni un très bon couteau. Il coupe a tête du pauvre gars, pendant que le sang coule à flots. Il ressemble à un boucher coupant la tête d'une vache! Pendant ce temps, des musulmans en burqa, probablement des jeunes filles (!) regardent et l'encouragent.
Le gars qui se fait tuer n'oppose aucune résistance, mais cela est fréquent et typique des décapitations dans les zones rurales du Pakistan. Je ne suis pas sur, ils sont peut-être drogués ou résignés à la mort.
De toute façon, cette fichue vidéo vous rend malade et vous effraye! Ça craint que ces salauds d'islamistes apprennent à des enfants (à 12 ans on est un enfant) comment devenir le pire des meurtriers.
