Jawa Report: London Times was hoaxed on Atwar Bhajat murder video
posted at 3:18 pm on May 8, 2006 by Allahpundit
Everyone in the blogosphere (well, the right-wing blogosphere) linked it, but Rusty says it’s a hoax. And he’s got compelling evidence.
In the Times’s defense, there are an awful lot of Islamist beheadings to keep track of.

So, it is a video of some poor soul being slowly beheaded by a group of brutal Muslims in the name of Allah, just not the poor soul they thought. While I’m sure the London Times is the same biased crapola as the New York Times, hard to fault them for this one. Still waiting for the outrage from “religion of peace” leaders.

The Times only messed up the Who and the When. The What, Where, Why and How are reasonably accurate.
Doesn’t change the sheer gruesome brutality of it.

Hoax film or not, the idea of killing women and reporters is apalling, barbaric, and for the Islamists, predictable. The toll is rising. Women like Bahjat are truly on the front lines.

Does anyone know if the reports of a drill being used on her as torture are true or false? This image has disturbed me since first reading about it yesterday.

I think these kind of videos deserve a larger audience in the West, every adult needs to see with their own eyes what kind of sadistic bastards our brave men and women in the armed services are fighting, it is one thing to hear of a beheading by terrorists, that is sadly easy to put behind you, but once you have seen and heard the true horror of the beheading of a hostage that is not something you forget, and I think a lot more people will realise that the Danish “bomb in turban” cartoon showed the true face of Islam, especially when they start to notice the lack of protests against such atrocities from the so called moderate Muslims who are supposed to be a majority within Islam.
Where are the worldwide protest now!!
My heart weeps for the victims and their families.
