Yet there are still authorities who will tell us that ISIS and all other jihad groups have nothing to do with Islam. The willful ignorance and denial is near-universal.
“Russian mercenaries captured by ISIS ‘are executed after refusing to reject Christianity and become Muslim,'” by Will Stewart, MailOnline, October 6, 2017:
Two Russian mercenaries reportedly captured by ISIS jihadists are feared to have been executed because they refused to read out a statement saying they rejected their Christian faith and had become Muslim.
Story continues below advertisementRoman Zabolotny, 39, and Grigory Tsurkanu, 38, held in Syria, also refused to say on camera that they had joined the terrorist group.
The men are believed to have been fighting for a private Russian mercenary force comprising ex-servicemen which saw action in Crimea and eastern Ukraine before Syria.
They were held by jihadists around the eastern city of Deir Ezzor, the last ISIS stronghold in the country.
They appeared in a video released earlier this week by ISIS news agency Amak which claimed inaccurately that the men were serving Russian soldiers.
Senior Russian MP Viktor Vodolatsky said: ‘It is very sad but 99 per cent Roman Zabolotny is not alive, nor is the second prisoner.
‘Before filming that video they were given a statement which they had to read.
‘In this text they would reject their Orthodox religion, reject their motherland, become Muslim and join ISIS.
‘They stayed loyal to the Orthodox faith and their Motherland until the very end, and this is what they were killed by those gangsters for.’
There has been no official confirmation from the Russian authorities about their fate, but Vladimir Putin’s government is coy speaking about such mercenary forces in Syria and other hot spots, even though experts say they work closely with the armed forces.
A local MP in Rostov-on-Don, Zabolotny’s home city, also confirmed the pair had been ‘executed’, saying it happened the day after the video was made.
‘Unfortunately, this is true,’ said Anatoly Kotlyarov. ‘Information was received that they were executed in a town square.’…

We need to quit calling it a religion! Who said this, to whom, when, why and what have we ever done about it? Would you consider this statement to be contrary to our Constitution, our way of life, a danger to our National and Homeland Security? Would you think these are words of an enemy? Surely, our government has studied this but where are the reports?
“The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every musselman [muslim] who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
This statement was a part of a March 28, 1786, letter from John Adams and Thomas Jefferson to John Jay, the United States Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Continental Congress, concerning their conversation with the Tripoli ambassador as to why his pirates/terrorists hijacked our merchant ships, stole the ships and cargo while holding the sailors for ransom.
Why are we failing to address the obvious in the letter? Here are the main points:
a. “it was founded on the Laws of their prophet”;
b. “that it was written in their Koran”;
c. “that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners”;
d. “that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and”;
e. “to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and”;
f. “that every musselman [muslim] who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
Has our government studied this and if they have, where are the published reports?

I have no problem with the mass extermination of disease carrying vermin, but for the hostile evil rat muslims, it would generate extreme joy and a warm fuzzy feeling.

Actually its not fault of muslims. Its the dumb Left/liberal , christian loons who support muslim will get the same treatment by then it will be too late like these dumb russians found.
In America too these jihadi “refugees” are so vicious and hate filled that they don’t even spare Christian Aid worker who help settle them in http://bit.ly/2rr9tGh
And of course Obama and his Left/liberal Pro-Islam Goons prevented this from leaking out to media because it would have woken up at least some of the American voters and affected the pro-islam scumbags from getting elected.

Like the Iranians found after they were useful idiots for the clergy to depose the Shah. They thought they were furthering freedom, but it was just fundamental Islam. By the time they found out it was too late. Now their children have been indoctrinated.

Nice try, but there is no non-fundamental islum — it’s all the same Jew hating, totalitarian, fascist, violent, vile ideology. There is no reformed islum, there is no protestant islum. The doors of itjihad have been closed for century and any idiot thinks that they’re going to open them again should travel to any muslum state and publicly advocate for an islamic reformation.

The ONLY way to fight islam is to show them NO mercy whatsoever. The Geneva convention was set up with some concept of honour and basic human decency at heart and to fight without that being recprocated essentially means you are fighting with one hand tied behind your back. In addition the enemy knows that this creates total contempt and weakens you militarily as the enemy exploits it(shooting at medics/ Ambulances/Firefighters etc.(,. The Communists did this for some 75 years but islam has used it for 1350 yrs. Time to send them all to allah and he can sort them out.

There is a film clip, I think on MEMRI, showing HAMAS or PLO terrorists using Red Crescent ambulances to attack, then to escape from Israeli border guards. Ambulances donated, one might add, by the American taxpayer.
The original and subsequent Geneva Conventions were created by Europeans and based on European basic moral principles. If one surveys the content of the Conventions – there are 4 of them – one cannot but notice that the Islamic rules of war are directly opposed to all the humane provisions of the Geneva Conventions. Murder, rapine, wholesale slaughter and looting are now and have always been Islamic principles – or in more accurate language, pure barbarism. HAMAS, those brave killers of children and blind kittens, represent Islam in action.

I’ve considered converting to Islam on my deathbed on the premise that it is better that a Muslim die than a non-Muslim. Nah. Bad idea.
While remodeling the guest washroom, I rerouted the plumbing for the toilet. Now anyone seated on the loo is pointing their arse directly at Mecca. At my house we give Islam the respect it deserves.

Describing islam as a barbaric hostile intolerant racist evil child raping murderous system sucking cult is not insulting muslims, it’s describing islam.

they would have been murdered anyway, right after reading the script, as other arabs have…”this is what they were killed by those gangsters for.’” giving gangsters a bad name, the italian version had true honor at one time.

Nothing but respect goes to them. They have balls. The western leaders and armies should follow their example.
If they were really paid to fight their attitude is even more courageous.

Islam is surely in Russia! Why isn’t the government there doing anything, besides fighting them in Syria, when they need to be fighting them at home! Just like every other country, who allowed thousands of them in there. (Like the US!)

As a Human, I am sad to see two people of such strong conviction gone from this Earth. Russians are a tough group! They have known diversity and strife on a scale greater and a time frame longer than any other nationality I can remember. My Son and his Wife traveled Europe for a while. Working along the way to pay for travel and expense.
The Stories from Russia were interesting as were the Russian people.
