    Who is “Prophet’s Khilafa” and where does this account originate from? Why hasn’t this Twitter account been suspended????

      “The Prohet’s Caliphate”–ISIS, that is, Ashley.

      Thought it would help.

          LOL! No problem, John!

          The Twitter account appears to be affiliated with some outfit called “Al-Battar Media.” They have some pretty messed up things posted on the internet.

          …………………………

          You may be wondering what “Al-Battar” means. The “Prophet” is supposed to have had nine swords, and the sick f*ck gave them all nicknames.

          Most of them were taken as booty from his enemies. “Al-Battar” was taken from the Banu Qaynuqa, a Jewish tribe Muhammed expelled from Medina after seizing all their property.

          Al-Battar is called the “sword of the prophets” and is inscribed in Arabic with the names of David, Solomon, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, Zechariah, John, Jesus, and Muhammad.

          Its first use was by David to behead Goliath.

          Notice the intense weirdness of Jesus having a sword…not that Mohammedans would care about that.

          The symbolism is obvious—Muhammed was supposed to be the direct “spiritual” descendant of Judaism and Christianity.

          There’s also a tradition where “Al-Battar” is used by Isa—the Muslim “Jesus”—to slay the Dajjal (devil or “anti-christ”, who is an Infidel and usually conceived of as Jewish) in the last days, so this is creepy millenarianist stuff here.

          This should not surprise, though—a lot of pious Muslims believe that the Caliphate will be reinstated before the last days—and you can see how these ugly Jihadists see their role.

          Whoa, graven. I had NO idea.

          Thank you…very much. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and doing so in such a gentle, kind and generous spirit.

          I’m trying to get my sea legs steady here at JW…and I’ve hit a few bumps. It REALLY is intimidating. My knowledge of Islam is dismal…my knowledge that we’re fucked Is sharp and keen.

          UGH!

          Again…thank you.

      Hi Ashley

      I saw your comment below and just wanted to give you a few words of encouragement. Almost exactly a year ago, I was in exactly the position you describe so eloquently — knowledge of Islam dismal, knowledge that we’re f***cked sharp and keen. Well, I still can’t cite chapter and verse of the Koran, but I understand the basic structure of where Islamic law comes from and things like what the Sunna, Sira and Hadith are, and what’s the difference between Sunni and Shi’ite. Getting a grip on the basic structure helps you feel oriented. I’ve been using Bill Warner’s materials — he has a downloadable audio lecture series about Islam that clears away a lot of the underbrush and gives you the main principles.

      I keep thinking we should have some kind of study group to help us all keep our spirits up as we learn more about what we’re up against. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I can relate to where you’re at — probably a lot of us here have been there.

        p.s. Goes without saying that reading Robert Spencer’s stuff is essential. But then you’re on this site so you no doubt know that. What I find helpful about Bill Warner is his focus on laying out the *overall* structure clearly and simply, so then you have a place to put the more specific facts of the kind that Robert Spencer tends to provide in abundance.

          Jun 28, 2014 at 11:26 am

          Bradamante,

          Thank you very much for your thoughtful comments. I appreciate the information. Looks like I’ve got some homework assignments to tackle!

          I’ve been taking in some of Robert’s news clips, videos, lectures and debates. His voice is easy on the ears and he speaks so eloquently. It is helping me to gain a firmer grasp of Islam.

          Again, thank you!

    Oh, the deafening silence of the mullahs, the ayatollahs, the leaders and parliamentarians of Islamic countries, CAIR, the leaders of OIC…ah, yes, Islam is peace, not beheading, not death threats, not mutilation, not misogyny, not supremacism, not enslavement, not extortion!

    Oh, the silence.

    Are the authorities aware of this?

    • Myxlplik says

      Yes & they say it has nothing to do with Islam, or religion

      I wouldn’t depend on the authorities. Maybe someone here can ID this goon and his location?

      FEAR NOT! it would seem as Israel has gotten their/our sword “al batter” back & has done some modifications /updates on it LOL!

      Of note, speaking to the Raid of the Jewish Medinian Banu Qaynuqa, Waqidi provides this narrative:

      When they came out and opened their fortress, it was Muhammad b. Maslama who expelled them and seized their possessions. The Prophet took from their weapons …. three swords: a Qala ‘i sword, a sword named Battar, and another sword….

      (The Life of Muhammad, Al-Waqidi’s Kitab al-Maghazi, Translated by Rizwi Faizer, Amal Ismail, and AbdulKader Tayob, Routledge; New York, NY, 1st Publication, 2011; P. 89.)

      Speaking on the “Accounts of the Swords of the Apostle of Allah,” ibn Sa’d, Waqidi’s scribe, provides these additions:

      Muhammad ibn ‘Umar [who is al-Waqidi] informed us: … on the authority of Marwan ibn Abi Sa ‘id Ibn al-Mu ‘alla; he said: The Apostle of Allah … got three swords from the weapons of Banu Qaynuqa, one sword Qala ‘i, second called battar (killing) and the third called al-hatf (death).

      (Ibn Sa’d’s Kitab Al-Tabaqat Al-Kabir, English Translation by, S. Moinul Haq, M.A, PH.D assisted by H.K. Ghazanfar, M.A., Kitab Bhavan, New Delhi-1 10002, V. I, p. 577.)

      Hence the central theme—Killing the “infidels and apostates”—at al-Battar Media.

    why, they are trying to evoke fear, our fear

    must be mighty sure of themselves

    gnaw, gnaw, gnawing at the comfort level

    twitter away, far away

    • mortimer says

      Jun 27, 2014 at 9:26 pm

      A constant gnawing away at the good will of American Leftards like the above will eventually undermine their confidence that ‘Islam is peace’.

      The truth will come home that ‘ISLAM IS TOTALITARIANISM’.

    #CalamityWillBefallUS

    Since they’re so afraid the US will join the fray, it should not be read as “Calamity Will Befall U.S.” but as “Calamity Will Befall US”.

    We already have calamity here in the US of A. Calamity Jane’ was reincarnated in 1961, and is now inhabiting the WH. That’s why nearly everything coming from there has Calamity’s autograph on it. Calamity economy, Calamity foreign policy, Calamity IRS policy, Calamity border policy, Calamity ACA…Calamity Jane rides again, and so far no one can stop it. Not the kings men, Not the Princes and Princesses of the royal court. Looks like we are in for at least two more years of Calamity.

      There was was the greatest calamity to ever befall the USA

    Obama is another bush, only does it the back door way like funding Syrian rebels for Qatar, Saudi pipeline.

    I just checked the Battar1_ISIS Twitter link posted above. The little prick tweeted ALLAHU AKBAR! about 35 minutes ago.

    Cute, eh?

    I sure hope that account is being monitored.
