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...)

You are lying
by J W Wednesday December 01, 2004 at 08:03 PM

You are lying about these verses! I looked them up in seven different translations and even looked at the original Greek and Hebrew text and for many of them, could not find any resemblance of what you claim the verse says. Those verses that you actually quoted accurately are taken out of context and skewed to fit your lies. While I agree that war is a terrible thing, it is ridiculous to say that Christianity or Judaism is the root of terrorism. Do you see any Jews or Christians making suicide bombings? While most Muslims are peaceful, the undeniable fact is that it is Muslims who targeted and killed thousands of civilians on 9/11 and who continue to target and kill civilians in Iraq. Stop spreading anti-American and anti-Judeo Christian lies. I can accept your anti-war sentiments, but it is undeniable that such freedom loving nations as USA and Britain have delivered the Iraqis from an oppressive dictator and are fighting against radical Muslim terrorists who want a religious dictatorship.

Graphic indeed. Your website serves a good purpose...it shows that NONE of the Abrahamic religions is without blame. That being said, I must however question the concept that the Islamist violence is solely to be based on the Bible...the Muslims have their own guilt....and should not seek to transfer it. But I congratulate you on your courage and your graphics...

Truth?
by Sam Thursday May 05, 2005 at 10:39 AM

And just how many of this images illustrating "Bible" Jihad can be attributed to Christians? I recognize most of them as the product of peace-loving Muslums influenced by the Koran. Nothing Fair or Balanced here!

You are the biggest idiot in the known history of the world
by The Real World Friday July 08, 2005 at 05:55 PM
kenshinsan007@hotmail.com

You are the biggest idiot in the known world. You surpass the idiotic actions of any known human in existence. You twist supposed "Bible passages" to make them fit your own purpose. You exploit the death and casualties of victims of a corrupted thinking of a certain people and use them for a pointless bitching that is both stupid, and devoid of truth. Sure there are people out there who have perpetrated these actions, but to criticize the Holy Bible by illustrating such pictures and twisted verses as you have so done, may God give you an actual brain and tell you to think next time before you disgrace those that have passed on through the tragic actions of others. If not, may you recieve what punishment is coming to you.

Why?
by Alaura Friday July 08, 2005 at 06:22 PM

With all do respect, and I question myself if you deserve any respect, what are you trying to acheive?? By posting these horrific images of beheded men, women, and children, and manipulating, and perverting the Holy Bible what are you trying to do. This is the exact ignorant, and fearful fundimentalism that fueled the hatred of the crusades and the attacks of 9/11. I understand that this is a free country, where one is able to speak one's mind with respectful tolerance, that is UNLESS it hurts others. This in itself is a fuel for other fundamentalists to persue their vision of a "perfect sociaty" where their religion fuels all. The pictures you show are not the work of The Holy Bible, but the wraths of war, and terrorism. The bible does not advertise terrorism, only those who interpret it that way. So I advise you take a step back from your onesided mind track and think about what the hell you just typed. Thank you.
