Al Qaeda Using Beheading Images for Recruitment & Propaganda

Earlier we brought you the story of how al Qaeda in Iraq was planning to launch a new website, but before the website got off the ground it got hacked. Luckily, some enterprising hackers took the time to cache the website. While checking surfing through the al Qaeda site, I came across this image on their video upload page.

As you can see, the image is one of a bloody knife and a man holding up a severed head. These guys are now designing logos graphic art with a decapitation theme. Sick. Next we'll learn they've taken out a copyright for all things headless.

Do you need any more evidence of the death cult of terrorism or are you still suffering under the delusion that these people can be dealt with in a rational manner?

Also of note is the fact that it is an American based company based in Atlanta Georgia who was hosting the al Qaeda site.

UPDATE: Check out Interested Participants comments.

I'm no expert, but it seems that about the only other groups since the dawn of civilization who considered severed heads to be desirable trophies were primitive tribes in the tropics of South America, Africa, and some South Pacific Islands. The practice alone indicates a primitive mentality that honors only barbarism. This uncivilized worship of the severed head has arguably been best encapsulated and illustrated by the fiction of William Golding in Lord Of The Flies. In the novel, an isolated society ruled by thugs worships the severed head of a pig.

1 They must be punished for their heinous crimes.

2 First they should be tried, then punished.

3 First they should be punished, then killed ;-)

4 No need for trials or judgments. Simply eliminate them as you would any other dangerous vermin.

Btw, colin, I voted for you to be unbanned.

5 I say try them, find them guilty, sentence them to death, and then let them live with Collin Baber for 20 years while they file their appeals.

They wouldn't last 2 days.

6 Amen to that. could'nt think of a worse punishment. Even if they are on the same side.

7 Dear Dread Pundit,

Many thanks for your vote. Should that Zarqawi resist lawful capture, your wish may very well come true. Should he make it to trial, we can deny him martyrdom and learn more about his network of handlers.

Dear Eric,

I would be very, very happy to be part of the team that would interrogate him.

Posted by: Collin Baber at April 18, 2005 09:06 PM (FV4oJ)

8 colin,

Zarqawi will never talk willingly. Perhaps the Al Franken option might loosen his tongue, but I don't see that happening. People of the Left Hand would surely flock to protest such a thing.

As for martyrdom, we should make it a practice to publicly feed the bodies of jihadis to hogs. Big, fat, snorting hogs with pendulous nutsacks. Then send the tapes to al-Jazeera.

Posted by: The Dread Pundit Bluto at April 18, 2005 09:40 PM (RHG+K)

9 We don't need Zarqawi to talk. We need him dead. This is not a police action. The FBI aren't in Iraq. This is war.

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford at April 18, 2005 09:49 PM (JQjhA)

10 man! id want us to behead one of their people so bad! man show them what it looks like...namely zarqawi..ohh the irony. LOL

11 What surprises me is that no one has collected the $25 M USD reward. There are enough carrots and sticks to put him out of operation. Unfortunately, Mr. Zarqawi is not acting alone and he is the key to shutting down his nefarious network. This person holds a reptilian-level burning desire for seeing the perpetrators of those heinous bombings punished. Greyrooster would be shocked, proud or both if he knew what my personal wishes were for Mr. Zarqawi's demise. As for me, if an Iraqi "Constantine" deported Zarqawi to hell, the reptilian anger would be appeased.

Posted by: Collin Baber at April 18, 2005 10:46 PM (FV4oJ)

12 Collin,

I wonder the same thing myself. How is it that not a single one of his insurgents has turned him in for the reward. He must have either brainwashed his followers to a great extent or they are probably too afraid to do anything. Personally, I would pay myself for a chance to end his horrible existence.

13 Jim,

Zarqawi is toast. His network must go down. Check this though: US intelligence agents in Iraq have admitted, for instance, to paying people off to make up stories about the fanatically anti-Shiite sectarian Zarqawi:

?We were basically paying up to $US10,000 ($A13,700) a time to opportunists, criminals and chancers who passed off fiction and supposition about Zarqawi as cast-iron fact, making him out as the linchpin of just about every attack in Iraq,? one agent said.

?Back home this stuff was gratefully received and formed the basis of policy decisions. We needed a villain, someone identifiable for the public to latch on to, and we got one.?

How many Zarqawis are there?

Posted by: Collin Baber at April 19, 2005 02:05 AM (FV4oJ)

14 Perhaps there are a dozen of Zargawis, like there were Stalins. Bet the real Zargawi is in the same place bin Laden is, somewhere in the Himalajas hunting goats and Tibetians for dinner.

15 Dear Mr. Finn,

If you find either of them, you will be paid a fortune and hailed as a hero.

Posted by: Collin Baber at April 19, 2005 03:03 AM (FV4oJ)

16 If I find them, their bodyguards would start shooting at me, and since I don't know how to smuggle firearms I'd be bleeding to death even if I would manage to bash their skulls with a sledgehammer or pierce them with some bamboo spears.

Posted by: A Finn at April 19, 2005 03:26 AM (cWMi4)

17 Oh... Seems like Finnish army has nothing to do, perhaps I could hire some mercenaries.

Posted by: A Finn at April 19, 2005 03:45 AM (cWMi4)

18 Yes! Checked out some resent changes in world politics of Eduskunta, and now Finnish army doesn't require any justifications for operations outside of the country. So as long as the whole EU isn't strickly against it and threatens with war, I could probably take a huge loan, hire the entire army, take over Pakistan and mine the Himalayas to find em, get the rewards and cover the costs. (and I could get all of those Paki nukes and sell em to, let's say, the sultan of Brunei while I'm occupying Pakistan)

Posted by: A Finn at April 19, 2005 03:51 AM (cWMi4)

19 Too bad I don't need the money. Plans seem crazy enough to work.

Posted by: A Finn at April 19, 2005 03:53 AM (cWMi4)

20 Well, if I had the army, it would be Russia rather than Muslims to suffer my full force.

Posted by: A Finn at April 19, 2005 03:56 AM (cWMi4)

21 For the love of God, Mr. Finn, leave the army alone. Once the Iraqis capture Mr. Zarqawi, try and sentence him, all they have to do is drop him off in the middle of Firdos Square so the relatives of all his victims may greet him with candies and flowers.

Posted by: Collin Baber at April 19, 2005 04:12 AM (FV4oJ)

22 Well, fine, but that still leaves Osama-san. He might run the resistance from Islamabad for over 40 years or something if I don't invade.

Posted by: A Finn at April 19, 2005 04:21 AM (cWMi4)

23 Oh well, not my problem.

Posted by: A Finn at April 19, 2005 05:12 AM (cWMi4)

24 A FINN: Go ahead and invade. We'll back ya.

Bye for now. Here comes the sun and here comes the kids to get me out from in front of the television. Gotta get those catfish off the trot line.

"Check this though: US intelligence agents in Iraq have admitted, for instance, to paying people off to make up stories about the fanatically anti-Shiite sectarian Zarqawi:"

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what is the source for this? I have not heard this before.

Posted by: Defense Guy at April 19, 2005 09:33 AM (jPCiN)

26 Without Emmanuel Goldstein and the Brotherhood (Bin Laden, Zarqawi etc.) who would Big Brother use to whip up the masses into a frenzy of hate. Zarqawi and Bin Laden are more useful to the globalists as fugatives.

27 Sick, very sick. Insane, wacko, nutso, weirdo, liberalo.

28 Is that Anwar the sinister Syrian holding the head?

Posted by: greyrooster at April 19, 2005 07:17 PM (K/qjk)

29 Dear Mr. Defense,

There was originally an article in the Washington Post about the Zarqawi phenomenon. This variant is from the Telegraph. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/10/04/wirq04.xml

HUMINT on that horrible Zarqawi is severely lacking. Our attempts to apprehend him have missed the Hard Opposition and has unfortunately strengthened the Soft Opposition elements over there, the exact opposite of what it takes to fight an insurgency. We must court the Soft Opposition so that they can expose the Hard Opposition for the "spear of the state."

Posted by: Collin Baber at April 19, 2005 10:42 PM (FV4oJ)

30 Thanks for the source Collin. I do find it interesting that no names are given, just a bunch of anonymous 'military officials'. That being the case, it is possible that the whole story is made up. There have been other stories that have actual sources, which refute this allegation, and Osama himself has stated that Zarqawi is his representitive in Iraq.

31 Dear Mr. Defense,

This person is a real hothead over the lack of Humint over there. What counterinsurgency literature would you recommend I read?
