Margaret Hassan Was Murdered by British Agents, Not by Muslims
2004-11-18
From Jihad Unspun
Margaret Hassan, the 59 year old director of CARE international in Iraq was taken captive on her way to work in Baghdad on October 19, 2004 in a picture-perfect operation. A videotape issued Oct. 22 and aired by Al-Jazeera showed her pleading for Britain to withdraw troops from Iraq. As JUS [Jihad Unspun] reported at the time, based on information from reliable sources close to the Mujahideen in Iraq, the kidnapping of Margaret Hassan was an operation concocted by British agents inside the country, in an effort to divert attention away from the British troop deployment into Latifiyah. — a deployment that was required so that the Americans could strike Fallujah. The deployment of British troops at the time caused a great deal of commotion but was a deployment that Tony Blair was not at liberty to refuse on orders from his US masters. Now, just as the public becomes outraged once again with the brutality of this escalating war, Margaret is allegedly killed by the nasty Muslims. ....

Jihad Ballout, a spokesman for the Al-Jazeera TV network, told The Associated Press they received a videotape a few days ago. It shows a militant firing a pistol into the head of a blindfolded woman wearing an orange jumpsuit. "She was presumed to be Mrs. Hassan," Ballout told The Associated Press. Presumption indeed. The network said it was planning to show British officials the videotape but said they would not be airing the video to the public. ....

Sunni clerics who have been heading up the Resistance in Fallujah has said previously that they were not responsible Hassan's kidnapping and at the time called for her release. Of the 150 foreigners captured by Mujahideen, few have been women with most being released and none have been killed, unlike the males who have been swiftly executed. Women are enjoined with special privileges in Islam and the Mujahideen are required to protect them under Shariah laws of Islam.

#17  I guess the Mossad was taking a break, what with poisoning Arafart and all that.

#16  TU,

I know exactly what you mean. Can't 19 Muslim men board 4 separate flights that all crash within 2 hours of each other and not get blamed?

So misunderstood is the Religion of Peace.

#14  I recall a news video from Kabul right before we invaded of a woman being beaten in the streets by a random cleric. I was outraged until I re-ran the video in super slo-mo. Sure enough, as she was walking her burkah DID ride up on her ankle and there it was 3 SQUARE INCHES OF FLESH!

"Special Privileges" or no...we can't have women exposing themselves like that, now can we??

Allen be praised!

#13  ...and the right to be beaten (but not severely!) and have their bodies enjoyed.

Calling Patricia Ireland, calling Patricia Ireland. Where are you, Patricia Ireland?

#12  Well reading this 'Women are enjoined with special privileges in Islam' makes me wonder what these privileges are.

Well, they have the right to remain silent.

#11  These guys never miss an opportunity. If democracy fails in the middle east, I believe it will be because of the Arab culture of lying and dishonor that is on display right here.

The average Muslim should look at this very sad situation and ask themselves - is this the face they want on their religion and culture and speak out against this. One that brutally murders those who came to help - and then projects the video as a success and then blames the soldiers who also came to help. A society can't survive if it rises up against those who come to help them. Muslims everywhere need to speak up against this outrage - or sit quiet when the world turns against them.

#10  Well reading this 'Women are enjoined with special privileges in Islam' makes me wonder what these privileges are. Because try as I might, I can't quite square that statement with this;

From The Australian


"It is a female ... missing all four appendages, with a slashed throat and disembowelled, she has been dead for a while but only in this location for a day or two,"


Can anyone else?

#8  'Margaret Hassan Was Murdered by British Agents, Not by Muslims'

Poor old James Bond , And he used to be so loved by everyone , charming swine that he is . I cant quite believe he would do something as horrific as this .

based on information from reliable sources close to the Mujahideen in Iraq eeerr again I'm speechless .

Now I am sure 'british agents' are working in Iraq , but their only obj. is to hunt the scum who did this and double tap them all in the head properly .

#7  Sorry about that - didn't consider how it would look on the yellow background.

I'll keep it to a minimum.

#4  So,

How do you protect them ?

By beating them ? By burying them upto their necks in the ground & then by throwing rocks at their heads?

#3  ["Women are enjoined with special privileges in Islam and the Mujahideen are required to protect them under Shariah laws of Islam"]

- WOMEN IN ISLAM:
* Taken From The islamic Koran / Bukhari / Tabari & Ishaq *

Tabari IX:113 “Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.”


Tabari I:280 “Allah said, ‘It is My obligation to make Eve bleed once every month as she made this tree bleed. I must also make Eve stupid, although I created her intelligent.’ Because Allah afflicted Eve, all of the women of this world menstruate and are stupid.”
-----------------
Qur’an 4:11 “Allah directs you in regard of your Children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females…. These are settled portions ordained by Allah.”

Qur’an 4:15 “If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; if they testify, confine them to houses until death [by starvation] claims them.”

Ishaq:584 “Tell the men with you who have wives: never trust a woman.”

Qur’an 24:34 “Force not your slave-girls to whoredom (prostitution) if they desire chastity, that you may seek enjoyment of this life. [And here’s the freedom-to-pimp card:] But if anyone forces them, then after such compulsion, Allah is oft-forgiving.”

#2  I'm glad to see that the war in Iraq hasn't caused a shortage of tin foil.

#1  Yes, of course. Everybody knows this thing. Just as the Great One, Chairmans Arafat, was poisoned by Mossad. And everyone in Fallujah was an innocent civilian. And the Earth is flat. And Muslims discovered the electromagnetic force, the weak force, strong force, and gravity, and Islam is the Grand Unified Field Theory that your Jooo Einstein couldn't figure out! Can there be any other explanation for these things? No.
