Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“Satan is with you”: Islamic jihadists issue yet another threat to Sochi Olympics

Jan 24, 2014 9:56 am By Robert Spencer

“The militant in the video claimed that the ‘suppression of Islam in the Caucusus is only increasing the discontent in the local population’ and is fueling ‘the support for jihad’ among the local youth.” That’s the way it always is: Islamic supremacists and jihadists always claim that the atrocities that the Infidel is perpetrating are driving him to threaten murder — and to commit murder. It is always the Infidel’s fault. Responsibility is always completely displaced. This is in part because in Sunni Islam, only the caliph is authorized to wage offensive jihad; in the absence of a caliph, all jihad is defensive. So all jihad activity has to be presented with a list of grievances, so as to justify the violence as revenge.

“Sochi Olympics threatened again,” from NBC News, January 24:

SOCHI, RUSSIA — A video posted on a jihadist website has likened the looming Winter Olympics in Russia to those held in Nazi Germany ahead of World War II.

“Satan is with you,” said the speaker, whose face is blurred. “He will betray you at the most inconvenient moment, and that this moment is close.”

“In the run-up to the ‘demon’ Olympics,” a militant speaking in Russian stresses the “atmosphere of fear and terror” hanging over Russia, ahead of the Games, which are due to start on Feb. 7.

The four-minute video was recorded by the Islamic Jihad Union, a Pakistan-based al Qaeda ally that has fighters from Russia, the Caucuses, Central Asia and Pakistan. It was posted online earlier this month and comes amid repeated assurances from Russian officials that the Olympics will be secure.

The speaker, named as “Amin Abu Usama,” likens the “Putin Olympics” to those held in Nazi Germany in 1936 during the reign of Adolf Hitler. It also mentions the recent suicide bombings in Volgograd that left 34 dead.

The militant in the video claimed that the “suppression of Islam in the Caucusus is only increasing the discontent in the local population” and is fueling “the support for jihad” among the local youth….

    Well, we finally agree with them on three points…jihadists are with us…they are satan…they will betray us anytime! At a time of their choosing.

    No Muslim can be trusted, since ALL can increase their faith, read the violent verses in Koran and hadiths and be inspired to commit murder in the name of Mohammed.

    The world needs a lot MORE “suppression of Islam”. “Suppress” that heinous non-religion back to the Arabian peninsula from where it first erupted like a rancid boil.

    “Satan is with you,” said the speaker

    I think he was talking about Muhammad, the self-proclaimed prophet of Islam!

    “The speaker, named as “Amin Abu Usama,” likens the “Putin Olympics” to those held in Nazi Germany in 1936 during the reign of Adolf Hitler”

    So what’s the problem?
    It’s no secret that millions of Muslims the world over admire the Nazis and their genocidal aspirations, so why all the hate?
    Mein Kampf is a bestseller all over the Islamic world, every year!

    we all know that there is no fun or joy of any kind in Islam. No Music, true art , , sport, or even KITES!

    Just strict adherence to hatred, intolerance, murder and throwing away your life for the LIE of a Paradise that doesn’t exist

    Well seeing as how Mein Kampf is a besteller all over the Islamic world and Hitler is so ADMIRED by Millions of Muslims for his foreign and domestic policy , I guess the Russians should take this comparison as a compliment?

    God is the light of knowledge, wisdom and love toward which men of goodwill strive. Satan is the darkness of ignorance, arrogance and hatred which imprisons and enslaves the mind and spirit of self-centered men. The Way, the Truth and the Life was revealed to the world before God allowed Muhammad to be, yet the man saw it not, nor did his soul seek it out. Instead he remained bound by his own desires and became a servant of the evil one, exchanging day for night while stumbling down the wider path to hopeless desolation for himself and those who followed him. The Way, the Truth and the Life still waits to comfort the ones who are weary of wandering in the darkness; but the strength and the courage to find the true course to the light must come from within. The truth is that Satan is with you, poor Muslims, and his book of lies and his prophet of murder are misleading you still. But it has been promised that if you seek the Way of the Truth and the Light of Eternal Life you shall find it. Accept it, believe it and it will be so.

      Very well put, Cogito. Actually ALL of the comments on this thread are PDG (pretty durned good).

    ………………………………………

    As noted, they should *love* that, given how Herr Hitler is one of the very few Infidels Muslims admire.

    More:

    “Satan is with you,” said the speaker, whose face is blurred. “He will betray you at the most inconvenient moment, and that this moment is close.”
    ………………………………………

    By “Satan”, do they mean fifth-columnist Mohammedans? Just askin’…

    For the benefit of Russian lurkers (I know you are there, I’m sure you are there):

    Three excellent articles that really ought to be translated into Russian and circulated far and wide across the Federation.

    I’ll link the two shortest and sharpest first.

    This one simply demolishes Muslim grievance theatre.

    The Dangers of Legitimizing Muslim Grievances

    In this one, the formidable and brilliant Irish scholar and journalist Conor Cruise O’Brien warns (in 1995) that “The Jihad is back”.

    http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/the-lesson-of-algeria-islam-is-indivisible-1566770.html

    CONOR CRUISE O’BRIEN
    Friday 6 January 1995
    The lesson of Algeria: Islam is indivisible

    And now for the third.

    It’s longer and denser and contains some interesting history: it shows that one of America’s greatest statesmen, John Quincy Adams, understood *exactly* what Islam was all about – and way back in 1829 he 1/ sided with the cause of the Christian Greeks who sought their freedom from Muslim oppression and he 2/ sympathised with *Russia* – non-Muslim Russia – over against the Muslim Turks of the Ottoman Empire.

    JOHN QUINCY ADAMS KNEW JIHAD

    I also encourage Russian Anglophones to go to “Amazon” and buy themselves copies of Australian scholar Mark Durie’s brilliant little book “The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom” and ex-Muslim Sam Solomon’s book “Al-Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”.

    Armed with those, you’ll know exactly what you are dealing with.

    Jesus has conquered Satan forever and ever. God will strike those evil people who call themselves jihadists. Their plans will never work. God bless RUSSIA and the USA and the world.
