Disgusting. AP:

Iraqi security forces discovered the bodies of eight beheaded men Friday in two villages north of Baghdad, army officers said.

Six of the bodies belonged to Shiite farmers taken from their home in Hashmiyat, 10 miles west of Baqouba, by an armed group wearing Iraqi army uniforms late Thursday, army Capt. Hashim Amer said.

They were discovered more than a mile away from the house.

"All the corpses were dumped in a deserted area, and the knife which was used to slaughter them was placed near one of the bodies," Amer said.

The other two bodies were found in al-Nahrawan district, about 12 miles southwest of Baqouba, army Maj. Fadhil al-Timimi said.

5:33-“The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution (by beheading), or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;”

8:12- “I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off.”

47:4- “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), strike off their heads; at length; then when you have made wide Slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives”: thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.”

We have manuals on how to properly handle the Koran and humanely treat prisoners paying respect to their cultural sensitivities, they have manuals on how to properly torture and decapitate hostages.

Baghdad, 23 June (AKI) - US Marines have found manuals on taking hostages and decapitation during a raid on a guerrilla hideout in the Iraqi village of Karabla, near the town of Qaim, close to the Syrian border. The Arab newspaper Al-Sharq al-Awsat reports that in the hideaway the troops also found several hostages who were being held there by Islamic militants. The hiding place was being used as a centre for the interrogation and torture of hostages, and contained electrodes and other instruments of torture.

The manuals found were used as Jihad (Holy War) handbooks. The first was titled: "How to choose the best hostage", the second covered decapitation and was called: "Rules for cutting off the heads of infidels", and the third manual, "principles of the philosophy of the Jihad", was more theoretical.

The three documents, the last of which is 574 pages long, carry the name Abdel Rahman al-Aliya, which the newspaper says is probably a cover name to hide the identity of the real author. The hideout - in the volatile western Anbar province which has been the scene of fierce fighting between insurgents and the US-led forces - is believed to have been used by the group led by the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. He is credited with introducing the practice of decapitation to the activities of the Jihadist movement.

I have a friend who spent some time living as a missionary in Thailand. Whenever the subject of Southern Thailand came up, he would just say, "Oh, no, couldn't go there. They're Muslim." He couldn't even travel to that area for fear of life and limb. This was before there was any sort of organized Islamist rebellion from Southern Thailand. Among the Buddhist majority, though, he was perfectly safe. All religions are basically the same, huh?

BBC:

A Buddhist man has been found beheaded in the majority Muslim province of Pattani in southern Thailand.

A note found next to the man's head claimed the murder was carried out in response to last week's arrest of a prominent Muslim student leader.

It was the fifth decapitation in a conflict that has claimed more than 700 lives in the past 18 months.

The note next to the severed head of retired teacher Kamol Chuneth carried a message obviously intended for police.

The note said that the authorities had arrested the wrong man.

3 I was a missionary in Thailand about 15 years ago, and Southern Thailand was too dangerous for Christians back then, too.

4 Start sarcasm Makes sense to me. The perfect response to arresting someone and giving them 3 squares a day along with expert medical care is a beheading. End sarcasm

6 Correction...south thailand is too dangerous for Western missionaries but that's another story altogether. The boob.....ooops beeb, says there's 5 beheadees. This was Kamol Chuneth (65). I also managed to google up Boonjan Saiphet(59), Kaew (60) and Jaran Torae (5 . Can anyone who knows who the fifth is kindly click on the link and leave a comment so I can update this post. By the way, they were ALL senior citizens. Maybe the brave jihadis of the religion of peace are waging a jihad on old people now.
