Woman brandishes childs severed head in Moscow

And Moscow was such a beautiful city...

This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder why I even follow a religion if it causes such barbaric behaviour...

Incorrect, it is an inference because you incorrectly thought my post meant something it doesn't, nor is there anything in the text that implies that. Simple as.

You have also made a baseless accusation about me trying to get rep from a child's death even though you don't have a shred of evidence for your claim. Stop acting like a crybaby whose age is mirrored by the number of gems you have and don't blindly demonise people and claim they did things which they didn't just because you don't agree with their comments.

When did I say it had nothing to do with Islam :lol:?
I never said let's brush it under the rug, I never said let's avoid the problem.
You said

And I said "I think you may be referring to the Ahadith" because 'the Sunnah' is what the prophet has said himself - why would the prophet say he killed members of his own tribe that doesn't make sense. So I corrected you on that because I'm 98% sure that's what you were referring to. I then went on to explain that some/ most of these are untrue and therefore it is not reliable to say "the Sunnah (Ahadith) back ups that the prophet killed his own people" and explained why it is not reliable. And also how different sects of Islam interpret it. That's what I said - did you even read it?

What do you think I'm some sort of apologist? That feels that in some way this woman's actions are justified? I point this out to my fellow Muslims all the time and have taken action by speaking to some of them with extremist views about this, by going on marches standing up against extremism and by publicly stating my opinion on such incidents in the news. I'm on your side...

In the face of such disproportional over representation... We would do well to try and understand the link between the two unless we are going with "its just a coincidence" stance


Yeah. I think there is some reason that there may be a link, which I think would mainly be to do to with Western involvement in Muslim countries and armed conflict, which is likely to create some kind of resentment. I think the link should be investigated, of course, and any reasoning behind attacks - on both the individual and group level.
But the prevalence of attacks relative to total Muslim population I feel would likely be non-significant, relative to other similar groups of people. Very very very large group of people, and a media and attentional bias towards them.

I see. This is the sort of direction I wanted the discussion to progress. So its more a cultural / religious link?

What is it that drives this link and what is the significance behind beheading? Its a pretty hideous thing to do, most humans would not be able to carry out such barbarous acts. There is a distinct difference between plunging a knife into someones chest and beheading somebody even though both acts will usually be fatal


Yeah. I think there is a cultural link. Many leading Muslim countries are very anti-democratic and use methods to control its population, beheading I guess is one of them. There are many ways to kill, but that method is particularly gruesome and is used to send a message.
People tend to act in line with cultural systems - where unfortunately beheading still holds a part in many Muslim countries.

You also really, have to have something wrong with you to do that to a random stranger, no matter who it is.
Many people may feel resentment to a government for many reasons, but its very different to take it to the level of the individual and do something as extreme as that.

It may also be a sort of self fulfilling thing. You 'decide' to kill someone, so you say its in the name of god. Maybe as a defence mechanism in the way of saying the murder is okay, but maybe because there is a media bias towards religious extremists and so maybe a copycat thing.

This had nothing to do with islam.


Yes it does. Islam may not be the only factor, but screaming "Allahu akbar" most certainly does point to the fact that Islam is involved.

But if it was a white man doing this yours would say 'lonewolf' 'mentally ill' etc.


Yes thats right of course i would "Greatguy" - Thankyou for speculating on what you think i would say had the perpetrator been a white man.

Do you have anything constructive to add to the discussion or are you just going to wildly fire speculative attacks which you perceive to discredit me and the questions i am asking which you read on tumblr somewhere whilst enjoying the smell of your own farts?

So if I went outside and starting setting things on fire and shokuted 'allajh barah' - that mean islam is responsible even though I am an atheists?

He did not kill anyone with his own hand apart from Ubayy ibn Khalaf. Again with this person he only gave him a wound which he knew he would die from it later.

Ah, I know about that, which is why I was confused when you said he never killed anyone at all...

The article doesn't say that she's Muslim.

im sure the russians greatly care about covering up and absolving islam or muslims of blame. totally .


Not what is being said here. Try again.

Yesterday in london 2 teenagers stabbed another one to death. How come you not talking about that? is it because they weren't muslims so you cant bash the religion for that?

It doesn't really matter how many people he killed with his own hands. He is no doubt responsible for the deaths of many more through his commands

Moronic comparison. If you're an atheist then by definition you're not Muslim nor believe in Allah :facepalm:


But you just said if I if someone shouts 'allah arsbar' that means islam is responsible. So going by your logic islam is to blame for everything.

If there is a link between Islam and this crime, then each and every human mind has a moral obligation to try to understand what that link is (If indeed we believe there is a link) to try to prevent further similar atrocities in the future.

When a psychopath butchers 6 people... do you say
"lets not make this about psycopaths?"

This woman may be mentally ill, this woman may be a terrorist...This women may be neither! we do not have the information at hand yet but my question is why does Islamic adherents appear to be overly represented in committing these types of brutal crimes


I'm just saying it could be perceived as disrespectful to the family and the child if we just throw this away into the statistics of how Islam and these acts are linked instead of expressing our condolences since I thought that's what the threads about...

But okay then, this woman has obviously got some sort of mental illness, no sane human being can commit such vile acts. She's also a nanny, who was clearly trusted by the parents to take care of this child. I don't know if they have a history with her or not but she must've looked good for the job on paper. Also I'd like to point out that even though there may be verses in the Quran you can claim to encourage murder, even if there are Ahadith that encourage such vile acts, they all exclude children. I'm sure you cant find anything anywhere suggesting killing a child in the name of Islam is a right thing to do on any level. Another reason why I think this was mainly to do with her mental health.

How can someone who doesn't exist be responsible for anything?

No I didn't. I said her shouting this means Islam has something to do with this incident and I did not say that no other factors are involved.

So going by your logic islam is to blame for everything.


This makes no sense whatsoever and does not follow from what I said.
This makes me so angry :frown: that poor innocent child.

So islam is to blame for this because she shouted a name- is that what you are saying?
