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

U.S. Consulate in China warns Americans after jihad mass murder attack in Kunming railway station

Mar 2, 2014 1:45 pm By Robert Spencer

140302-china-knife-attack-street-1030a_2c340db8efa15a641d21cc6571b0259f.nbcnews-ux-960-700Because Islamic jihadists would love to have an opportunity to kill Americans, as so as the jihad in China steps up in ferocity, Americans there are all under threat — perhaps even more so than Infidels from other countries. “Consulate in China Warns Americans Following Mass Stabbing,” by Ed Flanagan for NBC News, March 2 (thanks to Kenneth):

A United States Consulate in China called Sunday for Americans in the area to be cautious after a group of ten knife-wielding assailants killed 29 victims and left 130 wounded on Saturday.

“The Consulate General recommends that U.S. citizens pay attention to their surroundings when traveling in China and report any concerns to the local police,” said a statement from the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu.

A total of 33 people were killed, including four of the attackers, at the main train station in Kunming, the capital of southwest China’s Yunnan Province. The group of ten attackers “indiscriminately” stabbed their victims, the consulate said.

Police shot and killed four of the culprits and captured one more, but five were still on the loose, according to the official Chinese news agency Xinhua.

China’s top police official, Politburo member Meng Jianzhu, called the incident a terrorist attack and Xinhua reported that the attack was carried out by “Xinjiang separatist forces.”

The far western region of Xinjiang is boiling with a rebellion of Chinese rule, led by members of the Muslim Uighur population.

    JIHAD! This was JIHAD!

    Frustrating how many news chains insist on WHITEWASHING it by calling it ‘REGIONAL’.

    This is JIHAD…warfare against the disbelievers in the CAUSE OF ALLAH…which is…Islamic supremacism and the imposition of Sharia law by FORCE and TERRORISM!

    How long before our self-deluded media realize what is happening?

    Be the murderous jihadists for Islam be members of a militant Islamic group in China or in any other country of the world engaging in their heinous evil. Be they members of al Qaeda, Ansar al Islam al Shabaab, Boko, Hezbollah, Hamas, PIJ,etc. they all put into practice the violence and killing of the militant jihadism of Islam., Sura 9:111,112, 47:4. Furthermore, if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruit of that tree are the many violent and deadly jihadist groups around the world. As some of those just mentioned. With this stated the Wisdom of the teaching of Jesus very much does apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thisles ? Even so every good tree bringth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a currupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By ytheir fruit ye shall know them. ” Matthew 7:16,17,18,10. [KJV]
    In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23.

      Be very, very careful here in any of your “warming”.

      This is a temporary and fluctuating variation of “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”, and it can work in several directions at once. Look at sectarian Syria, and sectarian Libya and sectarian Egypt.

      But we must be much more careful than we have been in the recent past. We’re gambling with our emotional Muslim enemy whose mood swings can, and have, abruptly backfired. Our current “administration” and State and Defense Departments are amateurishly gambling with Muslim fireballs.

      The likes of Hillary Clinton, Samantha Power and Susan Rice , that Jarrett “whisperer”….all are unmitigated disasters as advisors. We can go on and on. Kerry?

      Review Libya, specifically Benghazi. Review Egypt. We foolishly and prematurely sent aid there to a sect of Muslims fighting a different sect of Muslims and then repeated that inside that complicated Egyptian/Syrian hot tar pit; it’s a safe bet that in time that that materiel aid will be turned against us and used in the overall Muslim war against all things American. We must assume that all practicing Muslims are our enemy. They tell us this themselves, repeatedly.

      Roughly the same complicated mess is ripening within the southwestern and western Muslim areas versus Chinese. This is not new. Also, don’t ever warm too closely with the Communist Chinese on the Mainland. They’ve cost us lots of blood over the years. Review the Korean War. Just because most of Walmart’s inventory now comes from China doesn’t indicate much. They’re infiltrators just as are the Muslims.

      This is why my theme of containing all of Muslim Asia from the Dardanelles to the Muslim arc of Indonesia in the manner of our containment of the Soviet Empire with the Red Chinese is worth considering.

        China does not have a problem in its “southwestern areas” with Muslims, the attackers were all Uyghurs from northwest Xinjiang, and not Hui.

        Also review the Boxer Rebellion and Moro Rebellion in which your troops committed ugly imperialist aggresion- oh wait, only American blood matters.

        “This is why my theme of containing all of Muslim Asia from the Dardanelles to the Muslim arc of Indonesia in the manner of our containment of the Soviet Empire with the Red Chinese is worth considering.”

        And your containment will be a massive failure, as every single country on earth will continue to trade and have relations with each other.

      • Mazo says

        Mar 5, 2014 at 2:38 am

        I forgot to add – Muslim troops in the Chinese army fought against your imperialist invaders in the Boxer Rebellion, and the Moros who fought your imperialist invading army in Mindanao, which butchered and massacred countless numbers of innocent civilians.

      U.S. intelligence agencies recently confirmed China’s development of a new intermediate-range nuclear missile (IRBM) called the Dongfeng-26C (DF-26C), U.S. officials said.”…..end paste.

      Apparently this new missile can reach our Military on Guam.

        @Inchoate

        Your self pretentious claims to knowledge expose you for a clown- you didn’t realize China already had long range ICBMs which can hit the continental USA, for decades.

        China has had the capability of hitting the continental US with a nuclear warhead for over twenty years already.

    The attackers were Muslims alright – they were obeying the Koranic injunction to “strike at their necks”.

    See here:

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-03-03/china-vows-to-find-perpetrators-of-stabbing-attack/5293842

    “…Witnesses to the attack have recalled moments of fear and chaos after the group of knife-wielding terrorists, who were dressed in black, descended on the train station.

    “Standing near shops about 50 metres from the site, a parking attendant surnamed Chen said he could not believe what was happening when he saw the attackers.
    “I walked out and I saw a person with a knife this big, Mr Chen said, spreading his arms wide.
    “Then I saw five or six of them. They all had knives and they were stabbing people madly over by the first and second ticket offices,” he said.

    “A 20-year-old university student, Wu Yuheng, says the attackers tried to target people’s heads.

    ‘One had swiped his long knife and just nicked him on the scalp.

    “I was terrified … they attacked us like crazy swordsmen, **and mostly they went for the head and the shoulders, those parts of the body to kill** {my emphasis – dda},” he said, laying on a hospital bed in a hallway close to the elevators….”.

    • Mazo says

      Mar 2, 2014 at 7:44 pm

      Or are you implying that non-Muslim killers who wield knives, would be stupid not to try to stab at the neck, and that only Muslim killers stab at necks, not because its the most obvious place to cause a fatal wound, but just because a verse was found in the Qur’an?

      • Mazo says

        Mar 2, 2014 at 7:53 pm

        dumbledoresarmy was just enlightening us on the history of Yunnan and Tibet in the other topic. Let me enlighten you even more.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Tibetan_War

        “The Sino-Tibetan War began in 1930 when the Tibetan army under the 13th Dalai Lama invaded Xikang and Yushu in Qinghai in a dispute over monasteries. Ma clique warlord Ma Bufang secretly sent a telegram to Sichuan warlord Liu Wenhui and the leader of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek, suggesting a joint attack on the Tibetan forces. Their armies rapidly overwhelmed and defeated the Tibetan army.”

        “When the ceasefire negotiated by Tang failed Tibet expanded the war in 1932, attempting to capture parts of southern Qinghai province following a dispute in Yushu, Qinghai, over a monastery. Ma Bufang and Liu saw this as an opportunity to retake Xikang for China.[6] Under Gen. Ma the 9th Division (Kokonor)–composed entirely of Muslim troops—prepared for an offensive against the Tibetans (Kokonor is another name for Qinghai).[7][8] The army of Ma Bufang vanquished the Tibetan armies and recaptured several counties in Xikang province. Shiqu, Dengke and other counties were retaken from the Tibetans.[3][9][10] The Tibetans were pushed back to the other side of the Jinsha River.[11][12] The Qinghai army recaptured counties that had fallen into the hands of the Tibetan army since 1919. Ma and Liu warned Tibetan officials not to cross the Jinsha River again.[13]”

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1905_Tibetan_Rebellion

        “Under pressure from foreigners, the Qing Dynasty government allowed Christian missionaries into Tibetan Buddhist areas in Yunnan province. The Tibetan Lamas had long defied the rule of the Qing authorities and officials, and the Qing dynasty fought against a rebellion of the Lamas around 1905. The Tibetan Buddhist Lamas attacked and murdered Chinese officials, French Roman Catholic Priests from Paris Foreign Missions Society such as Jean-André Soulié or Jules Dubernard, and Christian converts in the area, in retaliation for the missionaries’ success at converting the natives to Catholicism. The Buddhist Gelug (Yellow) Sect was primarily responsible for the revolt and deaths.”

        http://www.maristmessenger.co.nz/2013/05/01/missionary-audacity-the-mission-to-tibet/

        “In south-west China, Fr Charles Renou established the first mission in Tibetan territory. while near the frontier of Sichuan and Yunnan the little missions that were set up were constantly threatened by troops from the Tibetan monasteries. The lives of these missionaries were filled with exiles, destruction and reconstruction, and, during the rebellion against Chinese control in the Tibetan borderlands in 1905, violent and cruel murders.

        Blessed Maurice Tornay
        And we recall here Fr Maurice Tornay, a canon–regular of Grand St Bernard, assassinated by lamas on August 11, 1949, on the frontier of independent Tibet, and who was beatified by Pope John-Paul II in 1993. His crime was to have penetrated into the interior of Tibet in order to plead with the government of Lhasa for Christians, who were forbidden the right to exist in their own country. Well, Blessed Maurice was the eleventh and most recent of Tibet’s missionary martyrs. But, from 1854 to 1940 ten MEP missionaries had suffered the same fate in similar circumstances. Perhaps people forgot to beatify them?”

    For those trolls trying to link Hui Muslims to this attack, it was a Hui born in Yunnan, Ma Shaowu, who fought Uyghur separatists in Kashgar from 1933-1934. So shut it and shove your nonsense back where it belongs.

    Muzzo-
    Muslims were the murderers–al shabab, boko haram, taliban, al qaeda- stop splitting hairs with your windy lectures on narrow ethnic group. No one here is enlightened.

    Muslims kill, maim, torture, and destroy for your Satan Allah, and it is a worldwide fact.

    Mar 3, 2014 at 11:48 am

    Again, Mazo made some very salient points about the ethnic and political diversity of Muslims in China. And as someone who knows something about the subject, I respect his insight into this, even if he thinks me a “banana” or something like that.

    As for the US Consulate warning Americans about travel, that’s part of its job. When I was in the US Foreign Service, I had to make a couple of calls like that, too.
