God willing, we will slaughter you like pigs
There’s a video. There’s always a video.
Anis Amri was killed in a suburb of Milan after he shot a cop.
Hours after the shootout, the Islamic State-linked news agency, Amaq, released a video that purports to show Amri swearing allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed caliph of the Islamic State.
Speaking in a black-hooded windbreaker on an iron bridge with white railing and scrawled graffiti, he called on Muslims in Europe to rise up and strike at “crusaders.”
“God willing, we will slaughter you like pigs,” he said in the video, whose date and location was not given.
Yeah that’s nice – a god who endorses murdering random people “like pigs.”
He added, “to my brothers everywhere, fight for the sake of Allah. Protect our religion. Everyone can do this in their own way. People who can fight should fight, even in Europe.”
For the sake of Allah, protect the religion – by slaughtering random people like pigs. What a lovely conception of a supernatural daddy-figure.
I’ve always found the ‘god willing’ thing kinda a revealing cop out. If darkly so, on this occasion…
The theology of it is standard two-faced self effacement from allegedly grovelling ‘servants of a higher will’, of course. Far too humble, us, to speak exactly for the deity, if it turns out he has other plans… And never mind we pretty much already are making some pretty definite assumptions, even claims, about that will, the moment we start murdering people. Oh, dear, no, wouldn’t do to be too sure of this, noooo… Listen to how humble is our rhetoric, the blood already dripping from our hands…
… And then, of course, when you wind up dead from, really, being a total asshole, well, apparently that, too, was the god’s will. And whatever you get away with, however shitty, that too… And when you wind up dead, miserable, isolated from your family, all part of the plan… Not just a bad decision. Not just a dumb way to do it. No. Allah’s will.
It’s incredible, really. Such _snivelling_ mass murderers, these.
There was a report on the BBC that the Germans had tried to deport Amri, however the Tunisians delayed the procedure. Whether it was due to incompetence or more sinister motives hasn’t been determined.
The “supernatural daddy-figure” was invented by a slave-raiding, murdering 7th century bandit and created in his Image, that’s the reality behind the ‘religion of peace’.
Have the usual suspects ‘splained it all away yet? Tell how opwessed the poor little dear was. How his own declared religious motives are Really About Bush/Israel or anything on earth except what they really were.
