Raymond Ibrahim: Mexican Jihad

Over at Gatestone Institute (via RaymondIbrahim.com) I discuss the jihad potential south of the border:

As the United States considers the Islamic jihadi threats confronting it from all sides, it would do well to focus on its southern neighbor, Mexico, which has been targeted by Islamists and jihadists, who, through a number of tactics—from engaging in da'wa, converting Mexicans to Islam, to smuggling and the drug cartel, simple extortion, kidnappings and enslavement—have been subverting Mexico in order to empower Islam and sabotage the U.S.

According to a 2010 report, "Close to home: Hezbollah terrorists are plotting right on the U.S. border," which appeared in the NY Daily News:

Mexican authorities have rolled up a Hezbollah network being built in Tijuana ... closer to American homes than the terrorist hideouts in the Bekaa Valley are to Israel. Its goal, according to a Kuwaiti newspaper that reported on the investigation: to strike targets in Israel and the West. Over the years, Hezbollah—rich with Iranian oil money and narcocash—has generated revenue by cozying up with Mexican cartels to smuggle drugs and people into the U.S. In this, it has shadowed the terrorist-sponsoring regime in Tehran, which has been forging close ties with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, who in turn supports the narcoterrorist organization FARC, which wreaks all kinds of havoc throughout the region...

Yet another troubling alliance—Jihadists and Mexican narco-terrorists.

Increasingly, most of the horrendous ideologies at work in the world today—Communists, neo-Fascists, and narco-terrorists—all all allying with Jihadists and targeting the free West.

The *only* positive aspect—it's good to know who your enemies are.

Here is something of interest

"Sven Kalisch,German Convert and Professor,and David Myatt,Ex-NeoNazi Leader of the UK,have left Islam"

AND ALSO

History repeating itself.....Christians from Spain coming to take over the Aztecs/indigenous Mexicans back in the 1500s/1600s.

Ofcourse I think that the Mexicans are totally cool and hard working, so it is unfair to blame them after being treated badly by yourselves.


Rezali

please go find a day job.

Recent news story: A few days ago the Cadereyta Jiménez massacre occurred where 49 people were beheaded by members of the Mexican drug cartel, Los Zetas.
Beheading is the style of another group of people that we are all familiar with. Is there a connection here?

The alacrity with which Mexican drug cartels and guerrillas behead seems to be singular among non-Muslim criminals and rebels. It's not unreasonable to assume that somehow their ancient Aztec heritage is seeping through, like blood from a still living heart to soak the Hispanic cloth on the surface. So we now get a chance to see a temporary expedient alliance between the two most evil religions in world history. Ain't the 21st century grand? How many times do we have to have a world war before megalomaniac fanatic fucks calm the fuck down so we can get back to our miserable daily lives is what I want to know.

Anyone who would trust Mohammed Sven and David Myatt should have his head examined and be under 24-hour psychiatric watch; while the aforementioned psychopathic maniacs should be incarcerated for life.

So you should be "totally cool" with the Copts "taking back" Egypt or the Hindus taking back Pakistan after being "treated badly by yourselves."

You supremacist mucking foron.

Excellent reply, thank you. I was going to write exactly the same.

Just wanted to see his/her hypocrisy fly.

The same ones (musloids/leftards) who scream about how badly the Native Americans/First Nations people were treated by "white Europeans" and are entitled to "right of return" are the same ones who deny the "First Nations People" (Jews, Copts, Hindus, Buddhists, Chaldeans, Orthodox) THEIR "right of return" in musloid occupied lands.

......................................

You seem completely fine with Mexican narco-terrorists *murdering* hard-working Mexican citizens.

Trying to posit Mexican drug lords and Hizb'allah as somehow seeking 'social justice' for Mexicans is just grotesque. Right now, violence from narco-terrorism is the single biggest problem faced by the Mexican people.

Only a Muslim supremacist would think that an element that is *beheading decent people and dumping their bodies out in the desert* are the "good guys".

oh no!!! Islamists only take didnt you know this?
M

Rezali, you defend rapists and attack rape victims. Little more needs to be said about you as a commenter here.

LemonLime, Graven Image, et al.

I recall seeing mosques in Chiapas over ten years ago, and at the time there were murders over the divisions between families Catholic and Protestant. The Muslims there were mostly out of sight other than the presence of mosques. I never actually met a Muslim in Chiapas. It was as if the Saudis had built mosques and then left them as trophies. I might well be wrong about this, however. What I saw too much of was interfamily murder over conversions to Protestantism. My point is that conversion to such an outrageous parody of Christianity as Islam isn't likely to catch on in a big way in Mexico. There will always be losers looking for a persona behind which they can try to hide their failed being. They will be few.

In America today is seems the losers are triumphant, the Freak Show terrorising the majority through emotional blackmail, public vilification of independent thought, and outright violence and murder. Some people do speak out, usually under pseudonyms on the Internet, but most are too afraid of the power of the Freak Show to do anything more than nod and smile at any outrage. Mexicans, to their credit, aren't so passive. The chances of shari'a making the inroads in Mexico it has in America are about zero. Americans and other Modernists are too afraid of everything to act in their own intersts, but Mexicans are not. It{s not just drug gangs who are violent. It's common to have a knife fight or to shoot someone who has in some way offended, and Islam is offensive. That time will come, probably not in America, but certainly in Mexico. Islam is merely money to the drug gangs, but to the average person it is an offense against all right things. Mexicans are often and many hyperviolent. Frankly, I like it in comparison to the disgusting ways of northerners.

I{m trying to move at some later date from South America to South Sudan to see if I can mix it up with jihadis from the world over. I see it as my Mexican experience, a long dormant aspect in my life, now playing an active part in my way of thinking. But I can{t get there by myself at this point. Thus I ask again for people here who will not or cannot do more than write letters or sign petitions to order my recent book so I can get back to Africa to do some real work in the world.

Here are some comments about the book itself, and following that, a link to amazon.com.

http://nodhimmitude.blogspot.com/2012/04/dagness-at-noon.html

http://www.amazon.com/Occasional-Walker-D-W/dp/0987761501/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331063095&sr=1-1

I don't want to beg for money. I would rather work for a living, which writing this book can be seen as. For those who won't or can't go to South Sudan to fight jihadis, help those who will. Or just read the book. According to the preliminary reviews it's not bad.

Dag Walker,

Puno, Peru.

Our new, resident supremacist, Rezali deens to educate all of us on Mexico and its history by saying:

"History repeating itself.....Christians from Spain coming to take over the Aztecs/indigenous Mexicans back in the 1500s/1600s.

Ofcourse I think that the Mexicans are totally cool and hard working, so it is unfair to blame them after being treated badly by yourselves."

What the fuc* do you know about Mexico and Mexicans, Mohammedist? You don't know anything! And it ain't the Mexicans trying to get back at their former Spanish Masters in...wait for it...AMERICA!

You're an idiot and you're only trying to obfuscate the supremacist designs that your co-religionists have for, especially, heavily Catholic countries.

Take your pseudo-thinking and kram it, Klowny. Then go read some Bernal Diaz or Fray Marco de Niza, etc., and you will find that the Mexique were warring against themselves when the Spanish arrived, and had been for centuries.

Again, you don't know shit, buddy. I live here. I read voraciously. I venture out amongst the Yaqui, Seri, Otapa, etc., regularly.

Like Dag says above, you clowns will never bring Islam and/or Shariah to Mexico. You'll get your ass beat by some homies here, faster than you can say, "Allahu Akbar!"

WOW!

Finally some righteous anger from you on an IC potty mouth level!

Good show, David!

It's good to let loose with both barrels on these arrogant supremacists from time to time.

Yeah, well, I'm not proud of potty-mouthedness, but sometimes, those are the only words to express my anger.

Hope all's well with you, IC.

:) DMD Zacaton

Needed badly: translations into New World Spanish of Mr Spencer's books - most notably 'The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades', which is the one most easily accessible to the intelligent but non-academic layperson, I am thinking of, say, your village priest or pastor or schoolteacher - and Spanish translations of Mark Durie's 'The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom' and 'Revelation: Do We Worship the Same God? jesus, God, Holy Spirit in Christianity and Islam'. The latter, again, being suitable for placement in every parish school and small-town municipal library and in the bookshelf of every parish priest or protestant pastor.

I don't know whether Barnabas Fund's very basic 'primer' booklets giving the bad news about Islam in plain language for the non-academic have been translated into Spanish; but if not, they need to be. Reading those booklets - What is Islam?, What is Shari'a?, Islam and Slavery, and 'Islam and Truth' (discusses Taqiyya) - would all help immunise Mexicans and other Latinos - whether Catholic, Protestant/ Evangelical, or Atheist-secular, and whatever their ethnic background - against Islam.

Rough translations into Nahuatl and Mayan and a few of the other indigenous languages of Mexico would be a good idea, too. There has been mention of Mayans converting to Islam, but it should also be remembered that in the wake of recent translations of the Christian scriptures into some of the indigenous vernaculars which are still widely spoken in certain areas, there has *also* been something of a 'people movement' into **the Christian Church, evangelical variety** of late. (Dag has mentioned some of the disturbance that, tragically, is surrounding this movement).

If you want to do something to combat the Jihad in Latin America, find out who is translating Christian scripture into the surviving indigenous languages of Mexico (and of other parts of Latin America) and make regular, large donations to this work. Christians who *know* their faith solidly will be less likely to convert to Islam.

As a result of translation of the Bible into their mother tongues there has been, further south in the Andes, a *massive* movement of the Quechua and Aymara people - i.e. the people who created the Inca empire - into full-on, fully informed, actively practising Christianity. Superficially Christianised after the Spanish conquest, they are now going 'deeper in' as they encounter the Word in their own mother tongues.

The potty mouth is just a symptom of sheer frustration at the arrogance and egregious lies of mohammadan supremacists like Reza(li) (boy wonder aslan, perhaps?)

I hit my patience threshold with the mohammadens and their lies after about a year in Turkey.

Now I don't even pretend to play nice with them and let my frustration flow through colourful euphemisms reserved for especially disgusting mohammadens (kiddy diddling defenders and reverted apologists are the two groups that usually get both of my barrels).

It's springtime! So, of course, all is well. Well, almost. It's been an especially cold and rainy Spring here in Colorado so I've held back on some of my planting.

I hope you are well and a little calmer after setting the supremacist straight. You should try my version of the drinking game: Libation of your choice. Take a drink every time mohammadan obfuscations and arrogance make you shout out an explicative.

Warning: Not to be played while reading "loonwatch." There is not enough alcohol in all the world to keep up with the number of outrageous lies those clowns tell.

DDA, "What is Islam?", "Islam and Truth", and "Islam and Slavery" (and perhaps others) are apparently available in German, Russian and Spanish from the non-English sections of this website:

.......................................

This may not be necessary. Most Mexicans—even those in isolated villages in Chiapas—do speak some Spanish. Of the very few who do not, few sole speakers of Nahuatl or Mayan are are literate in those languages, either. Mexicans who are too remote for Spanish are probably—for now, at least—too remote for Islam.

Yucatán Spanish is somewhat distinct, as is the Central American Spanish spoken in Mexico's southernmost states. But again, most people there who are literate can read standard Mexican Spanish.

Also, my understanding is that most distinctions between various forms of Mexican Spanish are primarily phonetic, and in the use of regional slang. Most literate Mexicans read standard Spanish just fine.

I'm not the expert David Dowse no doubt is, though. He might have something to add here.

Right now, I think the main danger re Mexico is Hizb'allah working with existing narco-terror gangs.

Although Islam might certainly be more attractive than Christianity to drug lords—for the same reasons that Islam is *always* attractive to violent criminals.

Right now Hispanic conversion to Islam seems to be more of a phenomenon in the United States and Canada. Certainly, Jose Padilla comes immediately to mind. And there is—disturbingly—a Latino American Dawah Organization.

There are growing Latino Muslims populations in New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Florida. Some estimates say there are between 15,000 to 50,000 Hispanic Muslims in the United States—still small, but disturbing.

"More US Hispanics drawn to Islam"

http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0928/p03s02-ussc.html

And whenever you get articles about Muslim converts, you get the inevitable phenomenon of Jihad terrorists:

"Officials Worry About Some Latino Converts To Islam"

http://www.npr.org/2010/12/09/131916271/officials-worry-about-some-latino-converts-to-islam

Here's a passage from the article:

"Latino converts to radical Islam have been connected to terrorism cases in this country with increasing frequency — and officials are trying to understand why."

Well—duh. Wherever you find Muslim converts, you also find Jihad terrorists.

History repeating itself, muslim parasites/savages from adjacent islamic hellholes pouring into Spain and loudly proclaiming their intention to re-claim Spain for islam. Spain will eventually have to repeat ancient history and expel the muslim invaders because we all know that muslims cannot and will not live peaceably among infidels; islam must DOMINATE. And muslims treated the indigenous, rightful owners of Spain very badly during their reign of DOMINANCE and tyranny. I hope today's muslim invaders of Spain suffer their coming defeat with immense humiliation and pain.

Muslims are the world's foremost invaders, plunderers, pillagers and thieves. Muslims are voracious parasites who have never contributed anything to humanity, who are sustained by the labor and productivity of superior human beings. Every 'islamic' hellhole on earth except Saudi Arabia was once a thriving, advanced civilization destroyed by islam and muslims. Islam brings despair, misery, death, and destruction to everything it touches. You are a typical muslim hypocrite, a brain dead zombie.

I live in Phoenix, AZ. It has been a dirty little secret for some time now about the mahounds in Mexico working with, and training, the drug cartels. The fact would show up in online forums and editorial responses, and would quickly be quashed or vilified. Either folks didn't know, didn't want to know, didn't care, or were covering it up. Mexicans are inherently Catholic, and there has been some controversy with Protestantism gaining in popularity, but they are Christian, nonetheless. When heads started getting lopped off a few years ago, the citizen editorialists (not the local msm) buzzed about the mohammedans in Mexico. We've heard about Iranians and Iraqis being caught crossing the desert, and we know they are not looking for landscaping jobs in El Norte. Again, it has been known for some time about moslems in Mexico. Just ask Janet Napolitano.

Hello Ms Chick,

Well that's quite a greeting! and good morning to you too.

The Copts are about 10% of the population, and they have about 10% of the resources and all the churches. I read somewhere that the Egyptian authorities helped pay to have rebuild a church that had somehow been damaged.

Doesn't sound all bad then; the courts are always available to hear claims of land grab. IT just needs the will.

Rezali

All that bullshi'ite you typed and you still didn't answer the question:

Are you cool with Copts, Chaldeans, Assyrians, and other non primitives taking back THEIR lands that you primitive supremacists killed and abused them for?

No need to tap dance you supremacist scum.

Like I said to you nicely -

I am cool with Copts, Chaldeans, Assyrians, and other non primitives taking back THEIR lands; the courts are available to hear claims of any land grab.

If they have the necessary paperwork, I am CERTAIN they can get their land back, are you suggesting something else than using the law?

So, you're "totally cool" with Copts filling out reams of paperwork and applying through courts in a dhimmi state "after they were treated badly by yourselves", but you're "totally cool" with violent Mexican narcogangs, "taking back" not through courts but through the aid of violent islamic supremacists.

Thanks for clearing that up you hypocritical supremacist slug!

I Never said that...you have a demented viewpoint, butsince you are smokin...it is not surprising

Yes, you did say that.

You gleefully approved of narcogangs and jihadis taking back by "history repeating itself" on an article discussing joint jihadi/narcogang violence, after "being treated badly by yourselves."

You mentioned NOTHING about Copts "repeating history" or that you'd be gleeful about it after being "treated badly by yourselves."

You stated only that you'd be okay with them, as dhimmis, filing paperwork, in a musloid dominated country.

Your bias is showing. Too bad, supremacist shrew. An unbiased person would admit they were just as gleeful abou Copts engaging in violence to take back what theirs and being "treated badly by yourselves."

You're not nearly as clever as you fancy yourself.

Slug:

"...you have a demented viewpoint, butsince (sic) you are smokin (sic)...it is not surprising."

As for you and your fellow slugs, maybe you ought to lay off that Hashish for awhile...or better yet, smoke some more. Maybe it'll do you some good and make you stop wanting to kill the Kuffar.

Great post, David!

Rezali's is a good learning point for the uninitiated:

Rezali is a vagian virgin baghead as she claims. This is highlighted by her inability to hide her bias with a factual rebuttal. Female mohammadans respond with ad hominems concerning the education or sobriety of the kaffir who calls them out in a feeble attempt to silence them.

Male mohammadans respond with ad hominems concerning the targeted kafir's "morality" by calling them prostitute, whore, stripper or pole dancer or "gays" if the kaffir is male, in a feeble attempt to silence them.

They're just a fun bunch of people aren't they?

..........................................

"All the churches"? You might think that sounds good, until you realize that any church seized by Muslims—a not uncommon occurrence in Egypt—is instantly turned into a mosque—et voila! No longer a church.

"I read somewhere that the Egyptian authorities helped pay to have rebuild a church that had somehow been damaged." Ah, yes. That church was "somehow damaged" by a ravening Muslim mob, who then—wait for it—declared it a mosque.

The Muslim mob was incensed because a Christian man was rumored to have had a relationship with a Muslim woman—something not allowed under supremacist Islam. The man was rumored to have taken refuge at the church. That dispute ended when the woman's father and cousin shot each other dead—then local Muslims claimed that Copts were using the church to "perform black magic against Muslims".

This became such a high-profile case that the authorities did indeed finally rebuild the church of St. Mina and St. George at Sol—a rare example of decency on the part of the Egyptian authorities.

In a similar case in the village of Elmarinab, the church of St. George was also badly damaged by a mob. When Copts tried to rebuild the church, the priest was imprisoned, and Copts were warned by authorities not to leave their homes due to the threat of Muslim attacks. Finally, the Copts were starving, and authorities escorted Coptic youths to buy bread.

"Egypt: Muslims chanting 'Allahu akbar' blockade Christian village, demand demolition of church"

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2011/09/egypt-muslims-chanting-allahu-akbar-blockade-christian-village-demand-demolition-of-church.html

The Mohammedan mob then burned the church down, also destroying surrounding Copts' homes, which the mob then looted. Police were reported to *have joined the mob* in the destruction.

Just another incident of oppression for Infidels under Muslim rule. And this doesn't deal with all the other land grabs, kidnappings, and murders of Copts.

And things are likely to become—if possible—even worse in post-revolutionary Egypt:

“the Muslim Brotherhood announced immediately after the revolution that it is impossible to build any new church in Egypt, and churches which are demolished should never be rebuilt, as well as no crosses over churches or bells to be rung.”

"Destroying Churches in Egypt: One at a Time"

http://frontpagemag.com/2011/10/10/destroying-churches-in-egypt-one-at-a-time/

This current wave of violence against the Copts began on New Year's Day 2011, with the bombing of Alexandria's largest church just as Midnight Mass was letting out. Twenty-one people died. Dozens of Copts have been murdered since.

"Doesn't sound all bad then" to you—only because *you* are a Muslim supremacist.

I had a sneaking feeling it was a woman behind the words. I must have missed her admission of being female, though.

What is it with the latest rash of Mohammedists here at Jwatch who are either slithering, venomous muslimahs who exhibit open scorn for non-muslim women, or muslim men who come here and pretend to be female?

What the hell, IC?!

There has got to be some, psychological theory somewhere that applies to this, but it's beyond my reach and scope.
________________________________________________________

On a completely different note: how do you like living in Colorado? Pretty much the antithesis of here - yesterday it was 44.5 Celsius! My chickens were really struggling and my little dog looked pretty bad. Anyway, it's cooler today, thank Buddha!

I often questioned that psychology myself.

I've even questioned the mohammadans who pose as the fairer sex or as kaffirs. No answers, of course.

The best I theory I can come up with is that they feel they can disarm the kaffir by appearing sympathetic and insert their twisted thinking upon the disarmed.

Why are there more of them? Because they are getting bolder. Thank the useful idiots for that. With each litigation jihad they win, with each chip they hack away from freedom of speech, with each new powerful useful idiot they get to bandy about/defend their supremacist ideology they get a littler bolder. Classic bully mentality. Every hit they land without getting caught the more violent their attacks become.

How's Colorado? Typical crazy weather. Icy cold rain and cloudy all weekend, blazing hot during the week. Near freezing in the evening and time to put the a/c on by 10 a.m. Today it's been blazing hot, clouded over and cooled down by at least 12 degrees celcius. We have a saying here: "If you don't like the weather just wait 15 minutes and it'll change."

You made reference to Zacaton in one of your posts. Have you gone water spelunking in El Zacaton?

So, Rezali, you think the pre-Cortez Mexica were Muslims? Well, they practiced human sacrifice on a large scale. Now, maybe it wasn't like the Canaanites who offered their firstborn males to Ba'al (like the modern Falastin Arabs encouraging their children to be suicide bombers, while they themselves stay safely at home, the father wearing the bra and frilly knickers?), for which God commanded the Israelites to utterly destroy the Canaanites, and warned the Israelites that should they practice the same sins, a similar fate would befall them?

Also,what do you think of the fact that the first city many an American encounters on his way into Mexico is named "Matamoros"?

Hi, Istanbul Chick! I see you don't suffer Taqiyya gladly...

Hope you're doing well.

Hi David,

How is your father? I hope he is OK. I've asked a couple of times before, but you probably missed my posts.

Courts presided over by Muslim supremacists and applying Sharia law.

I like your analysis of the Psych. question.

Water-Spelunking? I have no idea what that is, Chick. What is it?

Anyway, the little place in Zacaton is filled with mature, fruit-bearing and shade trees. The house is a very old adobe. It's just lovely, IC. Pancho Villa stayed at the hacienda regularly in those days...

Peace, Chick.

Keep up the good fight!

I DID miss your inquiries, Dear.

I'm sorry, David—I thought you dad was scheduled for the procedure in late April, not late May. Hope everything goes well.

I understood all of your passages in Spanish, David, save "preguntar", which I had to look up.

Water-Spelunking? I have no idea what that is, Chick. What is it?
.........................................

I know your question was for Istanbul Chick, but "spelunking" is exploring caves, and "water-spelunking" is exploring flooded and underwater caves—generally by scuba-diving.

The El Zacatón Cenote is the world's deepest water-filled sinkhole, and is located in Tamaulipas, in north-eastern Mexico.

My understanding is that the town of El Zacatón is located in Guanajuato, in south-central Mexico.

"Zacatón" seems to refer to a type of plant—zacate grasses, which are kind of like pampas—which appear in several parts of Mexico.

So—I doubt the famous sinkhole is actually a local attraction of yours.

You are absolutely right. I live in El Zacaton in Sonora, not the El Zacaton with the caves to which IC refers.

And yes, "Zacaton" means, roughly, "big grass", but a native of the region (a fully-bilingual expert) tells me that Zacaton can also be the name of a person who is "chicken" - scared.

Anyway, thanks again for asking about the old man.

Best Regards,

DMD
