Taliban beheads US "spy," carves message into his forehead
Topics: Understanding IslamRobert Spencer writes of the incident:
The use of the word "hypocrite" indicates that they regard this U.S. "spy" as akin to the "hypocrites" of Muhammad's day, who supposedly pretended to be Muslims while plotting against Muhammad. The Qur'an frequently rails against them. So this is another indication of how the jihadists see this present conflict in religious terms, while the learned Western analysts do their best to deny that religion has anything to do with the real causes of jihad terrorism or Islamic supremacism.Article here. As why to these "militants" (murdering radical Islamic terrorists) would have done such a thing, Spencer offers his thoughts here.
