#1 The Tawhid and Jihad Brigade said the Palestinian government and presidency, and the British government are responsible for the execution

#2 Doubtless they're leaving that line to the Beeb - the BBC will have to blame Israel for this as the Paleos can do no wrong.

#3 This whole sordid episode stinks of three month old lutefisk and a bag of mouldering potatoes.

#4 I'll bet William Hill is offering pretty good odds that this is a setup by Johnston to get himself a reputation, a better contract and a book deal. Lets wait and see if he comes out as a convert like that nutcase Yvonne Ridley.

#5 FWIW, Tawhid = monotheism.

Some groups consider the invocation of the name of persons other than Mohammud (e.g., Iman Ali the Shiite 'saint') or loyalty to a constitution or acceptance of an international agreement or using certain expressions (e.g., 'my my grandfather's memory be praised) to be an act of polytheism.

#6 In other words, mhw, the usual "more Islamic than thou" bullshit. These stupid fucks will find reasons to kill each other right up to the final moment when the West obviates any further need for them.

#7 zen

probably correct that the group is Islamist, however it may be that the group doesn't even exist

of course, if killing each other was all that the moslems did, it would be little more than a humanitarian problem; unfortunately, killing infidels and/or enslaving and/or making infidels subservient is the prime directive
