Raymond Ibrahim: Turkey’s Latest Jihad on Christian Armenians

Mar 27, 2014 2:58 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Far from being repentant of the Armenian Genocide, Turkey, under the leadership of Prime Minister Erdogan, is again targeting Armenians; is again causing their death and dislocation.

In the early morning hours of March 21, al-Qaeda linked Islamic jihadis crossed into Syrian territory from the Turkish border and launched a jihad on the Christian/Armenian town of Kessab. Among other thing, “Snipers targeted the civilian population and launched mortar attacks on the town and the surrounding villages.”  Reportedly eighty people were killed.

The jihadis later made a video touring the devastated town. No translation is needed, as the main phrase shouted throughout is Islam’s triumphant war cry, “Allahu Akbar” (or, according to Sen. John McCain’s translation, “thank God”).[…]Nor are Armenians and others missing the significance of Turkey’s role.  In a written statement, the Armenian National Committee-International condemned Turkey’s active role in aiding and abetting Christian persecuting jihadi groups:

For months, we have warned the international community of the imminent threat posed by extremist foreign fighters against the Christian minority population in Syria.  These vicious and unprompted attacks against the Armenian-populated town and villages of Kessab are the latest examples of this violence, actively encouraged by neighboring Turkey. We call upon all states with any influence in the Syrian conflict to use all available means to stop these attacks against the peaceful civilian population of Kessab, to allow them to return to their homes in safety and security. In the last one hundred years, this is the third time that the Armenians are being forced to leave Kessab and in all three cases, Turkey is the aggressor or on the side of the aggressors [emphasis added].

On March 24,  Samvel Farmanyan, a member of the Armenian National Assembly, traveled to Syria to meet with Kessab’s dislocated Armenians: “I should say the impression was shocking,” he said.  “The situation is like the one we have read about in textbooks and literature about the Armenian Genocide, in the memories of Genocide survivors….  These are tragic events, which cannot but bring forth obvious parallels with the events of 100 years ago—the Armenian Genocide.”

Video interviews with the recently dislocated Armenians of Syria further document this sentiment.   One elderly man says “We’ve been here 97 years since they slaughtered us in Turkey.  These al-Qaeda ‘rebel’ groups are the grandsons of Abdul Hamid” (the Ottoman sultan who committed the first systematic genocide of Armenians)… Keep reading

    It makes me wanna puke when I see a cross. Those people are proud that they tortured and killed prophet Jesus (pbuh) and proudly display the torture device (cross) in their churches, wear it around their necks and have it even on their clothes.

    Mahdi will break the cross and kill the swine that has perpetrated this cross worship. Prophet Jesus (pbuh) taught Islam!

      Salafi, I m your Mahdi. U ll go to hell.Enjoy it.

    • ibn Muslim says

      Mar 27, 2014 at 5:31 pm

      I’m with you, Mr Salafi! If Mahdi is to break the cross and kill the swine, we must not allow the crusaders to freely roam Muslim countries with their filthy crosses around their necks.

      If they want to be safe from Hell, they have to accept the true religion of God. Again, there is a news article about pigs being on display in Germany – really, Mahdi will kill the swine!!!

        This is the true religion of God that allows wife beating and has several scientific and historical mistakes. It follows a man who used his religion to satisfy all his perverted sexual desires. Wake up and smell that coffee. Islam is straight from the pit of hell and Mohammed was a false prophet, a coward and a peodo.

        Mr Salafi It is time for you to escape MUHAMMAD”S DISGRACE

        Exodus from Medina
        Desert spirits spoke in twisted verse, a dance of words to recite, to recite.
        Medina’s false prophet this rehearsed in a cave near Mecca veiled by night.
        But the angel Gabriel saw his descent, and said “Pawn of Satan turn, repent, repent.”
        But, sharia’s verse planted its infected creed fertilized by this false prophet’s made-up dream.
        A vain attempt to partner with God almighty was dredged up from the lowest pit of his vanity.
        Bloodied hands are now washed before prayers that incite
        as hate speech is masked as devotion to recite, to recite.
        Along Medina’s “fastest growing” path straight to hell
        “Nine Eleven” admirers grovel beneath Satan’s will.
        Jihadists then bow not to God but to Islam’s unholy weapon,
        as false humility makes its pilgrimage to Satan’s deception.
        True infidels, they use God’s name as a deadly curse.
        Blasphemy crawls from sharia’s stockpile of vile, veiled verse.
        This cult intimidates then hides behind the “cloak of religion”
        aided by willful ignorance of liars with shameless intentions.

      Violence and brutality is the normative Islam that Salafi and ibn Muslim preach. Islam has no intellectual justification, just violence. There is no Golden Rule in Islam, because slavery abolishes the Golden Rule. Islam is enslavement of thought to violence.

      Mr. Salafi, were your parents and grandparents first cousins?

      “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” — 1 Corinthians 1:18

      Mr. Salafi, you believe in an “uncreated” Qur’an. So, you are a bitheist.

      According to your religion Mr Salafi, Jesus did not die on the cross. Your concept of God is of a war god. The Christian concept is of a god who dies to show three things: 1. to follow through your mission under very difficult circumstances. 2. To put your own life aside because of love for others – to show them the way to God. He atoned for our sins, at the same time showing the serious consequences that sin brings – death. 3. To prove that he had the power of life over death – to die and to be brought back to life in a physical body. Then there is the concept of free will – freedom to chose what religion or rules to follow (apart from the common law). Freedom to choose – something Muslims do not understand.

      Mar 28, 2014 at 8:11 am

      How can you be so full of hate with so little understanding, oh I forgot, you’re a Muslim
      FYI, Jesus overcame death on the cross and God raised him to life. It’s not the Cross itself Christians celebrate, but Jesus victory over it.
      One day Jesus himself will judge you as he will all men, be careful on that day that hate has not consumed you from within, because hate can only lead to hell, there is no tolerance and no compassion in it. This is a warning to you.

      You and your savage Jihadists and government are savage. Yous religion is based on the triple moon goddess Ishtar. You plagiarized the Torah Talmud and the four first books of the Christian Bible and rewrote the Christian book of Revelation to your own requirements under the authority of Imam Whabbi 300 years ago. You are savages and finally your 72 virgins come straight out of the Viking myths of Odin/Wotan. You dismissed Pork because that is straight out of the Talmud as is circumcision. Your prophet is the False Prophet spoken of in the book of Revelation the Christian Bible. You are worse than the snake who imbibed the carnal knowledge to man. You will all finish in death by the sword because you live by the sword Salafi. You disgust me your IQ is 70 on and below on average. You believe you are winning but you won’t because you are evil and evil never ever over comes good in the long run.

      When Mr Salafi and ibn Muslim make reference that the Madhi and “Jesus” (really, the Muslim “Isa”) will “break the cross and kill the pigs”, this is what they mean—that “Jesus” will return in the last days and offer Christians a single stark choice: convert to Islam or be killed.

      So *that* is the role of “Jesus” in Islam: to *kill Christians*.

      Also, notice Mr. Salafi’s grotesque implication that it was Jesus’ own followers who tortured and killed him. *Ugh*.

    Orthodox Jews say at every occasion “שמע ישראל אדוני אלוהיך אדוני אחד” which means “Hearken (listen) Israel, your God is only one”, unlike the Muslims who follow a Desert Warlord, Caravan Robber and Plunderer, Murderer, Rapist and Paedophile who falsely proclaimed himself as a prophet, and a last and final one, thus behaving as though God abdicated and appointed the Plunderer for Profit to spread his invented falshoods in substitution for God’s word.

    Furthermore, the Muslims, following the decree of the Plunderer for Profit, prostrate themselves five times a day and worship a stone idol – a piece of a meteorite situated in Mecca in what used to be a polytheistic pagan shrine.

    And if I mention this sort of thing to people, the reflex reply, now, seems to be not, “But whatabout the Crusades!”, but “what about the Central African Republic, where the Christians are killing the Muslims”??

    That happened to me just the other day. I was speaking to an Anglican priest (who is, actually, in other respects a nice, intellligent guy who preaches a good sermon) and I mentioned one of our most recent Christian martyrs – the Kenyan priest who was just shot dead by Somali Muslim jihadis who attacked his church in Kenya.

    And *immediately* this priest came back at me – “but what about all the Christians who are killing Muslims in the Central African Republic?”

    Instantaneous, mindless moral equivalence.

    I tried to tell him that in the Central African Republic the Christians are *responding* to massive Muslim violence, in a desperate attempt at self-defence; but he had so totally swallowed the moral equivalence (or, worse, “the Muslims are the real and only victims”) representation of that conflict that has been peddled in our media, that I could not shake his bland moral equivalence.

    As far as he was concerned, evil Christian fanatics of whom we should be ashamed were killing poor innocent defenceless Muslims in the Central African Republic…and that therefore I ought not so much as to even breathe a suggestion that Islam as such might have anything to do with a Muslim murder of a Christian pastor in Kenya.

      Satan and His Muslim disciples are terrified of the Cross. They desperately try to destroy and prevent the display of the Cross because every time they see the Cross, they are reminded of their sure and certain doom and destruction by the servants of Jesus of Nazareth.

      • citycat says

        Mar 28, 2014 at 11:49 pm

        I’m not so sure that the reference of the cross to Jesus is why they do not like the cross.

        If they came across a Satanic building that displayed a reverse pentacle then their reaction would be the same.

        Destroy

        If it’s not Islamic then any symbol is wrong to the non-infidels

        It is an excuse to moan to knock down any opposition to the idea of Islam

    Reading this stuff is interesting. I am not sure how much genetics/ biblical teaching comes into play here.

    1. Think about how many children Mohammed (rape and pillage be upon him) fathered. There must now be many Arabs who unknowingly have Prophet Peodo in their family tree.

    2. The Bible does talk about sins of the fathers being revisited on the children. Genetics also reveals family traits.

    3. Psychologically Muslims inherit their prophets narcissistic personality.

    Ismail – I don’t really care who you insult but I would advise a bit more research here. There are many Christians I wouldn’t give the time of day to but beware the messenger and message. Science has not proven the big bang.

    Raymond Ibrahim: Turkey’s Latest Jihad on Christian Armenians

    Far from being repentant of the Armenian Genocide, Turkey, under the leadership of Prime Minister Erdogan, is again targeting Armenians; is again causing their death and dislocation.
    …………………………………..

    This is horrifying, but should not surprise us. A century ago, Muslims in Turkey slaughtered not just Armenian Christians, but also Jews and Greek and Levantine Christians.

    There were between a million and a million and a half victims. Only a small handful of Armenian Christians remained in the aftermath, mostly in eastern Turkey and Istanbul—and there was another horrific pogrom against the Armenians in Istanbul in the 1950s.

    More:

    In the early morning hours of March 21, al-Qaeda linked Islamic jihadis crossed into Syrian territory from the Turkish border and launched a jihad on the Christian/Armenian town of Kessab. Among other thing, “Snipers targeted the civilian population and launched mortar attacks on the town and the surrounding villages.” Reportedly eighty people were killed.
    …………………………………..

    And why not? Jihadists are butchering Christians in Syria.

    Will Erdogan’s “Islamist” government do anything to protect these Christians? I wouldn’t count on it…

    More:

    One elderly man says “We’ve been here 97 years since they slaughtered us in Turkey. These al-Qaeda ‘rebel’ groups are the grandsons of Abdul Hamid” (the Ottoman sultan who committed the first systematic genocide of Armenians)…
    …………………………………..

    Yes—the savagery of Islam *never stops*.

    Will anyone in the West decry this abetting of barbarism from a “NATO ally”? Again, I won’t be holding my breath…
