Jihad in the Bible - A Graphic Commentary (Warning - violent photos)
by Brent Herbert Monday October 25, 2004 at 12:45 AM

Images of what Holy War in the Bible would really look like...as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Jihad in the Bible - A Graphic Commentary

WARNING! Extremely violent images are needed to graphically illustrate the doctrines of the Bible

If you are disturbed by images of extreme violence, then please leave this page now. Do not view these images and do not read the Bible verses that accompany these images.



Links to Videos of the Bible's doctrine of beheading enemies

See the page The Judeo-Christian Origins of ‘Islamic' Terrorism for a collection of Bible verses on the subject of beheading in the name of God.

It is impossible to understand the depraved mindset of these murdererous beheaders in Iraq without understanding the mindset which went into the creation of the Bible. It is pretty sad commentary on a culture that for thousands of years somehow the mental illness writers of what were obviously sociopaths or at best a collection of untreated psychiatric patients could somehow have come to be regarded as our society's most sacred book. The destruction caused by the celebration of cruelty and wickedness and the warped mind that results when what is actually evil is celebrated as sacred can still be seen today, most notably having been posted onto the internet by those whose minds have been warped by the Bible. And so in that sense I believe that these murder videos actually do a service in that they expose what the Bible really means, and they do it in graphic detail, and in that sense they might actually sensitize people and make them aware of the need for both uncompromising resistance against the religious right and the righteousness of resistance against primitive superstitions which for to long have been peddled by that overrated book known as the ‘Holy Bible' (and calling the Bible 'Holy', that truly is an oxymoron if there ever was one).

For those who do not get the point, links to some of the absolutely worst of these religious videos follow here (bringing the Bible and its doctrine of jihad and religious beheading up front in graphic detail...this is what the Bible and its doctrine of religious jihad really means, people...)
