BAGHDAD (AFP) - US soldiers discovered three heads and decapitated bodies, thought to be of Iraqi civilians, on a roadside north of Baghdad, a US military spokesman told reporters.

"First Infantry Division soldiers discovered the bodies ... on a roadside west of Balad at 7:05 am (0305 GMT) ... At this point, we're assuming they're Iraqi civilians," said Master Sergeant Robert Powell, based in Tikrit.

"The bodies were found decapitated. The remains were all found together," he added Wednesday.

Probably American sympathizers... found out by the terrorists. Killed by the terrorists.

The terrorists are barbarians from an era long buried in our past. The liberals, in their enlightened states of mind (gag), can't comprehend barbarity.



Either that, or the mental disease that they suffer from is truly a malignant anti-civilization cancer.

FROM THE KORAN ITSELF...
"HEIL HITLER" Now Upgraded to "ALLAH AKBAR?"

You may already know about this one: O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. [al-Ma'idah 5:51.11]

But did you know that there are 123 verses in the Quran concerning fighting and killing for the cause of Allah? Here are but a few passages:

-Muslims are encouraged to be wholly occupied (Sura 2:273) with fighting for Allah's cause.

- Allah will give "a far richer recompense to those who fight for him" (Sura 4:96).

- Regarding infidels (unbelievers), they are the Muslim's "inveterate enemies" (Sura 4:101). Muslims are to "arrest them, besiege them and lie in ambush everywhere" (Sura 9:5) for them. They are to "seize them and put them to death wherever you find them, kill them wherever you find them, seek out the enemies of Islam relentlessly" (Sura 4:90). "Fight them until Islam reigns supreme" (Sura 2:193). "Cut off their heads, and cut off the tips of their fingers" (Sura 8:12).

- If a Muslim does not go to war, Allah will kill him (Sura 9:39). He is to be told, "the heat of war is fierce, but more fierce is the heat of Hell-fire" (Sura 9:81).

- A Muslim must "fight for the cause of Allah with the devotion due to him" (Sura 22:78)

- Muslims must make war on the infidels (unbelievers) who live around them (Sura 9:123).

- Muslims are to be "ruthless to unbelievers" (Sura 48:29).

- A Muslim should "enjoy the good things" he has gained by fighting (Sura 8:69).

- A Muslim can kill any person he wishes if it be a "just cause" (Sura 6:152).

- Allah loves those who "fight for his cause" (Sura 61:3).
Anyone who fights against Allah or renounces Islam in favor of another religion shall be "put to death or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off alternative sides" (Sura 5:34).

- Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him. Sahih Al-Bukhari (9:57)

- Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. (Koran 9:5)

- Take him and fetter him and expose him to hell fire. (Koran 69:30-37)

- I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them. (Koran 8:12)

- They should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides. (Koran 5:33)

- Know that paradise is under the shades of swords. Sahih al-Bukhari Vol 4 p55

And Speaking of Paradise...

"There will be "gushing fountains" and everyone "shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine." Suras (or chapters) 55 and 56 of the Quran.

"Therein are bashful virgins whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before ... virgins as fair as corals and rubies," sura 55. A few lines later, you might remind them of "virgins chaste and fair ... they shall recline on green cushions and fine carpets."

"The smallest reward for the people of Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a.'"

It will be the day, God willing, you spend with the women of paradise...Know that the gardens of paradise are waiting for you in all their beauty, and the women of paradise are waiting, calling out, "Come hither, friend of God."

Where's the international outcry about the intentional targeting of civilians, atrocities and war crimes?

I wonder if you could promote such a book if it targetted other groups instead of Christians and Jews --- for example if a book was filled with propaganda on killing any homosexuals you meet or arrest and beseige all blacks.

This is the purest hate speech and promotion of murder you could find --- yet becasue it's the Koran, it's allowed everywhere. Even the Pope kissed it.

Waiting to hear about the two Italian women.

The murderers gave a 24 hour ultimatum more than 24 hours ago.

I doubt they were Iraqi civilians...this article I found says that the bodies bore old tatoos.
Arabs/Muslims consider tatoos the sign of the devil, and are discusted by anyone who has them.
The bodies may very well be the Aussies.

Three Decapitated Corpses Found North of Baghdad

By Sabah Albazee

BAIJI, Iraq (Reuters) - The decapitated bodies of three men, their heads strapped to their backs, were found dumped in nylon bags by a roadside north of Baghdad on Wednesday, Iraqi police and U.S. officials said.

The bodies were discovered by a group of Iraqi National Guardsmen shortly after dawn as they patrolled near the town of Dujail, 38 miles north of the capital. The U.S. military said initial indications were that the dead men were Arabs.

The development comes after a sharp surge in violence over the past three days, with at least 150 Iraqis killed in bomb blasts, fighting and other attacks. A car bomb in central Baghdad Tuesday killed 47 and wounded 114.

Iraqi police said two of the bodies had tattoos written in the Roman alphabet -- one saying "HECER," and the other a letter H. The third body had tattoos written in Arabic script but the words were not Arabic. There were no documents on the corpses.

Two were clothed in jeans and t-shirts and the third was wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt, the U.S. military said.

Dozens of foreigners have been abducted in Iraq in recent months, many of them truck drivers from countries such as Turkey, Jordan, Egypt and Kuwait. Several of those hostages have been beheaded after captors' demands were not met.

At least four Westerners are also being held -- two male French journalists and two female aid workers from Italy.

A group in Samarra, north of Dujail, claims to be holding two Australians and two East Asians but has provided no proof. Australia has dispatched a special team to investigate.

There was no let up in the violence Wednesday, with at least 10 people killed, two of them women, when U.S. troops clashed with insurgents in Ramadi, a city west of Baghdad, witnesses and Iraq's Health Ministry said.

A car bomb at an Iraqi National Guard post in Suwayra, south of Baghdad, killed two people and wounded at least 10, a spokesman for Iraq's Interior Ministry said. In Baquba, north of Baghdad, a roadside bomb wounded four policemen and a civilian.

Separately, the U.S. military said a marine had been killed during fighting west of Baghdad Tuesday, raising to at least 769 the number of U.S. troops killed in action in Iraq.

FALLUJA SHOWDOWN?

The U.S. military has said it plans to 'pacify' all rebellious Iraqi towns and cities by the end of December, handing security responsibility over to Iraq police for national elections due to be held by the end of January.

At the same time, insurgents appear committed to doing all they can to combat U.S.-led offensives countrywide, to destabilize the U.S.-backed interim Iraqi government and disrupt planning for or progress toward elections.

As well as kidnappings and roadside bomb blasts, the insurgents seem intent on killing as many Iraqi police and National Guards as possible, while also targeting recruits.

Tuesday's car bomb in Baghdad was detonated outside a police headquarters in Haifa Street, a busy part of the old city. It went off as dozens of young men were lining up to join the police force, and as civilians shopped in a nearby market.

Similar attacks have taken place throughout the country in recent months.

While some of those recovering in hospital after the blast said the attack had now dissuaded them from joining the police service, others said it made them all the more determined.

"I will still join if I can," said Hamdan Radi, a 25-year-old who came from Amara in the far south of Iraq to Baghdad to sign up. He ended up with severe shrapnel wounds across his abdomen and lower chest.

"I don't know if we will manage to defeat the insurgents in the end, but we must try."

If the United States is to reinstall local security forces throughout the country by its end-December deadline, then it will at some point in the next three months have to tackle perhaps its biggest single problem -- Falluja.

The city of 300,000 just west of Baghdad has been a focal point of anti-American aggression ever since the fall of Saddam Hussein. Marines attempted to overrun the city in April, but withdrew after inflicting heavy Iraqi losses.

The withdrawal was interpreted as a victory by local insurgents, who have since felt bolstered. U.S. military officials say the city, now in rebel hands, is a haven for foreign fighters and hardened local guerrillas.

In recent days, the U.S. military has carried out air strikes on the city, destroying homes it says are being used by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his followers.

Zarqawi, whom Washington links to al Qaeda, is the most-wanted man in Iraq with a $25 million bounty offered.

The Virgins and the Grapes: the Christian Origins of the Koran



Q. – Let’s come to the misunderstandings. One of the most glaring errors you cite is that of the virgins promised, in the Islamic paradise, to the suicide bombers.

A. – “We begin from the term ‘huri,’ for which the Arabic commentators could not find any meaning other than those heavenly virgins. But if one keeps in mind the derivations from Syro-Aramaic, that expression indicated ‘white grapes,’ which is one of the symbolic elements of the Christian paradise, recalled in the Last Supper of Jesus. There’s another Koranic expression, falsely interpreted as ‘the children’ or ‘the youths’ of paradise: in Aramaic: it designates the fruit of the vine, which in the Koran is compared to pearls. As for the symbols of paradise, these interpretive errors are probably connected to the male monopoly in Koranic commentary and interpretation.”

And the Angel of the Lord said to Hagar;

"You are now with child...and will have a son.
you shall name him Ishmael.....for the Lord has heard of your misery.

He will be a wild ass of a man;
his hand will be against everyone;

and everyone's hand will be against him,

he will live in hostility towards all his brothers".
