The Tattoo in Islam: Haram in Religion and Halal in Terrorism

Tattoos are generally forbidden in Islam but some Islamic terrorists have them. The article discusses a killed ISIS fighter who had a tattoo of a demon skull inspired by a Peruvian artist, showing tattoos are allowed for terrorists despite being haram for Muslims. It suggests terrorists selectively follow religious rules and tattoos help identify foreign fighters, like Americans Troy Kastigar and Douglas McCain killed while fighting for terrorist groups. The article concludes terrorist groups like ISIS are not truly motivated by religion but rather money, as they ignore rules like tattoo prohibitions if it furthers their goals.

THE TATTOO IN ISLAM:


HARAM IN RELIGION AND
HALAL IN TERRORISM

WHY TATTOO IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM AND


ALLOWED IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM?
MUSLIMS DONT HAVE TATTOOS BUT ISLAMIC
TERRORISTS DO HAVE
THE MYSTERY OF PERUVIAN PAINTER BEHIND
SOME TERRORISTS TATTOOS

“It was narrated that Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be


pleased with him) said: ‘The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) cursed the one who
does tattoos, and the one who has a tattoo done.'”
-Bukhari (Hadith)
The tattoo as an art. The tattoo as a personal seal. The tattoo
is a typical brand of urban modern Western world. Almost
everyone has it, almost everyone desires it secretly. The
tattoo in its beginnings was nothing but a sign of outlaw
spirit and rude pride against the boring codes of the society.
Today, the tattoo is a picture of society which opened itself to
the deepest levels of human souls and accepted different
identities merged into one and flexible.

Everything what the tattoo presents in the western, it


misrepresent in the Islamic civilization. Muslims don’t have
tattoos or at least not majority of them. There are some who
wear tattoos like their personal brand but they are usually
considered as HARAM doers, people who do not follow the
religion and its rules. It is very obvious to conclude that
tattoo walkers among Muslim people are those who have had
problems with the law or who were expelled from the society
because of some other act which hasn’t been considered as
religious.

However, I find it very interesting that there is no concrete


prohibition in the Qur’an Noble about tattoo and body
painting. The Hadith is answering on this question and
forbidding the body painting, according to the records,
because the Prophet Mohammed cursed anyone who has
done it or anyone on whom tattoos are done. The reason of it
is that, based on Islamic belief, the  tattoo changes the Allah’s
creation, covering the reality and offering the deception,
causing the unnecessary pain and possible infection and also
trying to imitate the infidels, being as a ” kuffar”.  We are
talking here about permanent tattoos which are taken as a
major sin by some Muslim scholars while the temporary
tattoos are allowed because they do not damage the Allah’s
first creation.
What about those kuffar who decided to become Muslims?
Some of them have already had so many tattoos that it would
be haram to even think of accepting them among believers
without tattoos? Now, the situation is a different:
“A person can become a Muslim even if they have had
tattoos done to them or if they were involved in tattooing.
You can do not have to remove them in order to become a
Muslim. You can pray, do wudhu and do all your Islamic
duties even if you have tattoos. This is because Islam erases
all sins that a non Muslim committed before he or she
became a Muslim.
Allah says:Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic
Monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allah will
change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful”
[al-Furqaan 25:70, the Qur’an]
So, if you were born as a Muslim, you have no right to have
tattoo unless you are so far away from your own religion. But,
even in that case you  can pray and ask Allah for mercy and
forgiveness under the explanation that you were in the days
of Jahilia (ignorance). If you were born as a kafir and you
were inspired by tattoos but you have suddenly found
yourself in Islam, your sins before accepting of Islam will be
erased.

Killed ISIS terrorist with tattoo


The book of sins is opened when the Islamic state of Iraq and
Syria (ISIS-DAESH) became the terrorist organization
number one. They took religion in their hands and modified
it so perfectly that everything can serve their sick and
demonic needs. Over  the night, they turned what was  
permitted in that  what is forbidden and everything what
was allowed in something which is punishable. It was some
kind of surgery in the religion. Chopping of the holy book and
making the puzzles of replies they found acceptable for them.
Torturing and killing those who don’t think like them and
transforming themselves into pure Satanic cult who lives on
innocent’s blood. The Islamic State. The Phantom of the
Middle East. For the Westerners, it is the product of the
violent liberated Islam and its hungry aggressive  daughter,
the Shari’ah Law. For the Muslims, it is an offspring of
Western plots against Arabians and the excuse for taking the
national resources with no limits. For victims, it is one and
only EVIL, at this moment, unstoppable.The Islamic State by
itself has caused so many  political, social and economical
tectonic changes with wide range that the whole world is
paying the price now. Uncontrolled mass migration from the
war zones into the kuffar lands, unsolved integration of those
who survived the “refugee road of thorns”,   export and
import of jihadism  with the “Blitz Krieg” hits, the constant
fears of believers from unbelievers on the both side. The
failed international politics and the grin of the inhumanity
which crawls into our hearts like the invisible poison snake.
Peshawar, Pakistan  December 16, 2012, the Pakistani army
killed some of the Taliban militants,“Tehreek e Taliban
Pakistan” (TTP),  who attacked the local Airport. Nothing for
us to be surprised. But, anyway, the Muslim main stream
media was talking for the days about one killed terrorist who
had the interesting tattoo on his back. The demonic skull,
inspired by a work of  legendary Peruvian tattoo artist, Boris
Vallejo.His art style is specific therefor he combines the
elements of dark fantasy with glorious of demonic creatures
with erotic attributes.:“The original image was drawn by
Peruvian artist Boris Vallejo and is offered for tattooing by
several tattoo shops in USA. The artist currently lives in
USA and for $30, you can get a signed copy of this drawing
(Item Code: B-477) entitled ‘Demon Hands’ from his
website.” The Pakistani counter- terrorism experts were
shocked because the tattoo of suck a kind was found on the
back of Uzbek’s paid soldier, terrorist. After they consulted
the local tattoo artist, he recognized the unfinished tattoo as
a copy of famous Boris Vallejo dream work. The message of it
was visually very demonic but from behind it was the voice of
someone who defeats death no matter what.Usually, these
kinds of tattoos are welcomed among  criminals, paid
recruited killers, and sometimes even among underground
rock stars. This Uzbek was definitely not an underground
rock star but probably the killer with a reputation of someone
who fights for money. In the Central Asia, it is enough to
offer $300 and you will have a skilled Uzbek fighter, who is
the best if you compare with available Tajiks and  Gorkhas.

Demon hands- by Boris Vallejo

What about Al Qaeda and ISIS fighters? Since their


organizations are based on the recruiters and converts, it is
logical that many of them have tattoos. For those who lead
jihad, it is forbidden to have any tattoo design on their bodies
but if they are fresh Islamists, their sins are forgiven and the
tattoo only helped to identify them. That was the case with
converted American Troy Kastigar, 28,who was killed in
Somalia fighting for a terrorist group  al-Shabab. Douglas
McAuthur McCain, 33, his basketball friend, who also had a
tattoo and were killed why he was fighting on the ISIS side.
The both of young men were from Minneapolis.The paid
fighters from Western societies who accept what ISIS offers
for sure will have tattoos and there was a hoax who is
financing them and who they work for!? The mystery will
never be revealed.

Troy Kastigar, 28- American convert

Douglas McAuthur McCain, 33 – ISIS warrior, American convert

If the ISIS is following so passionately Islam, why it allows


that someone who has body paintings fight in the jihad when
that part is strictly not allowed. The ISIS is buying the
fighters for its own ideology. Trouble making converts who
come to kill are nothing but killers with a financial goal. They
are not coming to accept Islam but money. On the another
side, the terrorists of the Islamic State can always justify
their choice of “western killers” among brothers as the sign
that Allah forgave all, even the tattoos.
As long as the jihadists have available funds, they will be free
to organize their terror fake  state, to buy fighters with
tattoos and to give donations to those who will blow up
themselves in some happy kuffar country. There is no much
philosophy about the ISIS rules. They are making and
breaking them. As they need and as they want. For them,
being kafir or Muslim it is the same. If you do not follow the
ISIS, you are dead anyway.  All that is important for them is
money, wrapped into petrol dollars. The same dollars which
are the passion of every players on the global chess table. Not
a big difference between all of them.
God doesnt exist for those who claim to kill for God with
hands paid by dollars. God left the people long time ago,
seeing how they are greedy and pathetic. The symbolic
meaning of the mentioned tattoo of Uzbek militant  named as
“Demon hands” says all. There are no God hands which bring
death.
The Islamic Terrorism called Sheitan to play the final  game.
