This ISIS video, once again slickly produced, features English-speaking jihadists calling Muslims to wage jihad, copiously quoting Qur’an and appealing to Islamic doctrine. It would be refreshing if Muslim spokesmen in the West who claim to reject this understanding of Islam explained how these Muslims were getting Islam wrong. But they won’t.
Note that the second speaker appeals to Muslims to read the Qur’an in order to discover the necessity of waging violent jihad. Note also that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is referred to as emir al-momineen, leader of the believers — that is, the caliph.
Video thanks to Benedict.
Rob says
Yeah and if they can’t get Muslims on board for jihad, they can still play the victim.

Not all Muslim women wear the hijab, so why is there a photo of 3 Muslim women wearing the hijab.
Is there a reason for the negative stereotyping?
So if you do not wear the hijab you are not a “good /devout Muslim?
Is that the message from these women and the reporter?
Why are they not wearing the niqab or burkah?
Alex says

This is the problem we face for allowing millions of Muslims into the West. All Western nations now have a fifth column of jihad-supporting Muslims in their midst. How foolish is it to allow the enemy to immigrate into your country?
Champ says
Once again we have devout muslims and islam being exposed for what it truly is: EVIL
Read the unholy quran and you’ll understand why these are devout muslims.
Saleem Smith says
More devout jihadi Muslims killing for Islam and the Shariah.
We ex-Muslims know that these English speaking jihadi Muslims killing for Islam in the “Islamic state of Iraq and Syria” are simply living out the instructions they find written in the Qur’an and Muhammad’s Sunnah.
But don’t anyone dare criticize Islamic theology…
Or you might get killed or be called an “Islamophobe” !
>>>>>
The 164 jihad verses in the Qur’an make jihad a central tenet of the Islamic creed. The hadiths and Muhammad’s sira are much worse.
At least 75% of the Sira (biographies of Muhammad and quotes attributed to him) is about jihad.
The largest part of the Islamic texts (the Qur’an, hadith and sira) relate to the treatment of unbelievers, kafirs. Approximately 67% of the Qur’an written in Mecca is about the unbelievers, or politics. Of the Qur’an of Medina, 51% is devoted to the unbelievers.
Mohammed preached his religion for 13 years and garnered only 150 followers. But when he turned to politics and war, in 10 years time he became the first ruler of Arabia by averaging an event of violence every 7 weeks for 9 years. His success did not come as a religious leader, but as a political leader.
Statistical analysis of the Bukhari hadith (considered by Muslims to be the most authentic of the hadith collections) show that Muhammad repeatedly speaks of jihad. In Bukhari, 97% of the jihad references are about war, and 3% are about the inner struggle. So the statistical answer is that jihad is 97% war and 3% inner struggle.
There are 146 references to Hell in the Qur’an. Only 6% of those in Hell are there for moral failings ” murder, theft, etc. The other 94% of the reasons for being in Hell are for the intellectual sin of disagreeing with Mohammed, a political crime.
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues,
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

Betty says
sounds just like obama doesn’t it?
CornHolio says
“sounds just like obama doesn’t it?”
——
What is your point? Are you defending Muhammad by saying that Obama is JUST AS EVIL as he is? That BOTH Muhammad and Obama are highway robbers, torturers, assassins, rapists, slavers, pedophiles, and murderers?
This is how you defend Muhammad?
Graham says
The ‘inner struggle’ I’ve something like that term before some thing Kamf i think written by some guy that went by the name is ‘Hitler’

Is this a hate video?
Robert Spencer is right that the Koran they read is the same Koran everyone reads everywhere.
Is the problem Koran or Islam?
These Muslims understanding of Islam is correct because it comes from the Koran and other Islamic sources.
Is the Koran a hate manual?
Yes it talks about hate,
and about the other things like inciting violence, insulting other religions, promoting religious enmity, disturbing public tranquility, promoting on ground of religion feelings of enmity- (see below)
One of the best books on understanding Islam and the Koran,which is what this Petition is about -to use court proceedings to ban it. Why read on.
http://voiceofdharma.org/books/tcqp/pref1.htm
The real issue raised by the Petition was not what Muslims believe about the Quran but what behaviour patterns the Quran inculcates in its votaries vis-à-vis the unbelievers.
Let it be realized by everybody concerned that India has always been and remains, the citadel of the most bigoted and bloodthirsty zealotry of Islam. The historical reasons for why it is so, are many. I do not have the time to detail them here. The main reason may be told. Islam in India has been what it has been because India has continued to stare at Islam as its greatest failure. Islam in India has never been able to relax, as it could do in countries which it converted completely. And it will not relax till Hindus learn to knock out its ideological fangs which are rooted in the Quran.
http://voiceofdharma.org/books/tcqp/chi1.htm
Muslims in India have often sought shelter under Sections 153A and 295A of the Indian Penal Code (I.P.C.) for preventing every public discussion of their creed in general and of their prophet in particular.
Quite a few publications which examine critically the sayings and doings of the Prophet or other idolized personalities of Islam, have been proscribed under Section 95 of the Criminal Procedure Code , as a result of pressure exerted by vociferous, very often violent Muslim protests.
(sounds familiar even today )
Little did they suspect that the same provisions of the law could be invoked for seeking a ban on their holy book, the Quran.
http://voiceofdharma.org/books/tcqp/
1. The petitioners are the citizens of India and are engaged in various types of social work.
2. The respondent is a public authority having in terms of Section 95 Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, read with Sections 153A and 295A Indian Penal Code, a public duty to forfeit to the Government every copy of a book which incites violence, disturbs public tranquility, promotes, on ground of religion, feelings of enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities and insults other religions or religious beliefs of other communities in India.
3. The Koran, also spelt as Quran, the so-called religious book of the Muslims the world over, written originally in the Arabic and available throughout India in the original Arabic or in its translation in Urdu, Bengali, Hindi, English, etc., is ex facie guilty of each one of the above offences.
4. The book has verses which preached cruelty, incited violence and disturbed public tranquility
For example,
in Surah 9, ayat 5, the book says, When the sacred months are over, slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them and lie in ambush everywhere for them.
In Surah 48, ayat 29, it says, Muhammad is Allahs apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another Through them Allah seeks to enrage the unbelievers.
In surah 49, ayat 15, it says, The true believers are those who have faith in Allah and His apostle and never doubt; and who fight for His cause with their wealth and persons.
In surah 8, ayat 39, it says, Make war on them (idol-worshippers) until idolatry is no more and Allahs religion reigns supreme.
In surah 2, ayat 193, it again says, Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allahs religion reigns supreme.
In surah 2, ayat 216, it has made fighting obligatory for every Muslim. In surah 9, ayat 41, it exhorts Muslims to march on and fight for the cause of Allah, whether unarmed or well-equipped.
In surah 9, ayat 123, exhorting Muslims to make war on infidels 16 who dwell around you, it says, Let them find harshness in you.
In surah 66, ayat 9, an exhortation is given to the prophet to make war on the unbelievers and deal sternly with them.
In surah 9, ayat 73, it again exhorts the prophet to make war on the unbelievers and to be harsh with them.
In surah 8, ayat 65, it asks the prophet to exhort the Muslims to fight, saying, If there are twenty steadfast men among you, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers. More or less the same thing is repeated in ayat 66 of the same surah 8.
In surah 47, ayats 4 to 15, the Koran calls upon the Muslims to strike off the heads of the non-Muslims when the two meet in the battlefield, without minding risking their own lives, for if any of them are killed fighting in the name of Allah they are assured of admission in the paradise.
In surah 8, ayat 12, the Koran exhorts the Muslims to strike off the heads of the non-Muslims and to maim them in every limb.
In surah 69, ayats 30 to 37, the Muslims are asked to capture non-Muslims and bum them in hell-fire after fastening them with chains.
In surah 8, ayats 15 to 18, the Muslims are exhorted not to run away while fighting the non-Muslims and thus incur the wrath of Allah.
In surah 25, ayat 52, the Muslims are exhorted not to yield to the non-Muslims but to fight them strenuously, while according to surah 9, ayat 39, if anybody does not fight, he will be punished by Allah sternly.
In surah 9, ayat 111, the Koran exhorts the Muslims to kill and be killed because, it says that Allah in exchange of promise of heavenly garden has already purchased the lives and the worldly belongings of the Muslims.
In surah 3, ayats 157 and 158 a believer is told that if he is killed while fighting the unbelievers, he will get Allahs mercy all the more.
In surah 8, ayats 59 and 60, the believers are told to muster all the men and the entire cavalry against the unbelievers so that it may strike terror into non-believers.
In surah 9, ayats 2 and 3, the believers are exhorted to proclaim a woeful punishment to the unbelievers.
In surah 9, ayat 29, the Muslims are exhorted to fight the Christians and the Jews until they embrace the true faith, that is, Islam.
In surah 4, ayat 66, it is stated that the prophet does not take people captives; he simply kills them.
In surah 4, ayat 84, the believers are roused to fight. In surah 29, ayat 6, it says, He that fights for Allahs cause fights for himself.
In surah 9, ayat 14, it exhorts the believers to fight them. Allah will chastise them at your hands, and He will lay them low and give you victory over them
In surah 9, ayats 20 and 21, the believers are assured that those that have embraced the faith and fled their homes and fought for Allahs cause with their wealth and their persons are held in higher regard by Allah. It is they who shall triumph. Their Lord has promised them joy and mercy, and gardens of eternal pleasure where they shall dwell for ever.
In surah 3, ayat 142, a dangerous statement is made in the interrogative, Did you suppose that you would enter paradise before Allah has proved the men who fought for him and endured with fortitude?
5. The book promotes religious enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities in India.
For example,
in surah 60, ayat 4, it says, We renounce you (i.e. idol-worshippers); enmity and hate shall reign between us until you believe in Allah only.
In surah 58, ayat 22, it says, You shall find no believers in Allah and the Last Day on friendly terms with those who oppose Allah and His apostle, even though they may be their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or their nearest kindred.
In surah 9, ayat 23, it says Believers! do not befriend your fathers or your brothers, if they choose unbelief in preference to faith. Wrong-doers are those that befriend them.
In surah 3, ayat 28, it says, Let believers not make friends with infidels in preference to the faithful; he that does this has nothing to hope for from Allah.
In surah 3, ayat 118, it says, Believers! do not make friends with any men other than your own people.
In surah 4, ayat 144, it says, Believers! do not choose the infidels rather than the faithful for your friends. Would you give Allah a clear proof against yourself?
In surah 9, ayat 7, it says, Allah and His apostle repose no trust in idolaters. In surah 8, ayat 55, It says, The basest creatures in the sight of Allah are the faithless who will not believe.
In surah 25, ayat 55, it says, Yet the unbelievers worship idols which can neither help nor harm them. Surely the unbeliever is his Lords enemy.
In surah 5, ayat 72, it says, He that worships other Gods besides Allah shall be forbidden Paradise and shall be cast into the fire of Hell. None shall help the evil-doers.
In surah 9, ayat 28, it says, Believers! know that the idolaters are unclean.
In surah 5, ayat 14, it says, Therefore, we stirred among them (i.e. the Christians) enmity and hatred, which shall endure till the Day of Resurrection
In surah 5, ayat 64, it says, That which Allah has revealed to you will surely
increase the wickedness and unbelief of many of them (i.e. the Jews). We have stirred among them, (i.e. the Christians) enmity and hatred, which shall endure till the Day of Resurrection
In surah 5, ayat 18, it says. The Jews and the Christians say, We are the children of Allah and His loved ones. Say, Why then does He punish you for your sins
In surah 5, ayat 51, it says, Believers! take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their members. Allah does not guide the wrong-doers.
6. The book insults other religions or religious beliefs of other communities in India.
For example,
in surah 5 ayat 17, it says, Unbelievers are those who declare, Allah is the Messiah (i.e. the Christ), the son of Mary. Say, Who could prevent Allah from destroying the Messiah, the son of Mary, together with his mother and all the people of the earth?
In surah 4, ayat 157, it says, They denied the truth and uttered a monstrous falsehood against Mary. They declared, We have put to death the Messiah Jesus, the son of Mary, the apostle of Allah. They did not kill him nor did they crucify him but they thought they did.
In surah 98, ayat 6, it says, Me unbelievers among the people of the Book (i.e. the Christians and the Jews) and the pagans shall bum for ever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures.
In surah 68, ayats 10 to 13, it says, Give no heed to the disbelievers; they desire you to overlook their doings that they may overlook yours. Nor yield to the wretch of many oaths, the mischief-making slanderer, the opponent of good, the wicked transgressor, the bully who is of doubtful birth to boot.
In surah 22, ayats 19 to 22, it says. Garments of fire have been prepared for unbelievers. Scalding water shall be poured upon their heads, melting their skins and that which is in their bellies. They shall be lashed with rods of iron.
In surah 22, ayats 56 and 57, it says, Those that have embraced the true faith and done good work shall enter the gardens of delight, but the unbelievers who have denied Our revelations shall receive an ignominious punishment.
In surah 5, ayats 36 and 37, it says, As for the unbelievers, if they offered all that the earth contains and as much besides to redeem themselves from the torment of the Day of Resurrection, it shall not be accepted from them. Theirs shall be a woeful punishment.
In surah 15, ayat 2, it says, The day will surely come when the unbelievers will wish that they were Muslims.
In surah 72, ayats 14 and 15, it says, Some of us are Muslims and some are wrong-doers. Those that embrace Islam pursue the right path, but those that do wrong shall become the fuel of fire.
In surah 41, ayat 33, it says. And who speaks better than he who calls others to the service of Allah, does what is right, and says, I am a Muslim?
In surah 4, ayat 125, it says, And who has a nobler religion than the one who surrenders himself to Allah?
In surah 3, ayat 85, it says, He that chooses a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and in the world to come, he will be one of the last.
In surah 8, ayat 38, it says, Tell the unbelievers that if they mend their ways (i.e. embrace Islam) their past will be forgiven but if they persist in sin (i.e. idol-worshipping) let them reflect upon the fate of their forefathers.
In surah 31, ayat 13, it says, Luqman admonished his son. My son, he said, serve no other God instead of Allah, for idolatry is an abominable sin.
In surah 29, ayat 41, it says, The false Gods which the idolaters serve besides Allah may be compared to the spiders cobweb. Surely the spiders is the frailest of all dwellings if they but know it.
In surah 37, ayats 22 to 25, it says, But We shall say, Call the sinners, their wives and the idols which they worshipped besides Allah, and lead them to the path of Hell. Keep them there for questioning – But what has come over you that you cannot help one another?
In surah 7, ayat 173, it makes the Muslims say, Our forefathers were indeed idol-worshippers, but will you destroy us, their descendants, on account of what the followers of falsehood did?
In surah 21, ayats 66 and 67, it says, He answered, Would you then worship that, instead of Allah, which can neither help nor harm you? Shame on you and on your idols! Have you no sense?
In surah 21, ayats 98 to 100, it says, You and all your idols shall be the fuel of Hell; therein you shall all go down. Were they true Gods, your idols would not go there; but in it they shall abide for ever. They shall groan with pain and be bereft of hearing.
In surah 6, ayats 22 and 23, it says. On that day when We gather them all together, We shall say to the idolaters: Where are your idols now, those whom you supposed to be your Gods? They will not argue, but will say, By Allah, our Lord, we have never worshipped idols.
In surah 6, ayats 40 and 41, it makes the believers say, Say, When Allahs scourge smites you and the Hour of Doom suddenly overtakes you, will you call on any but Allah to help you? Answer me, if you are men of truth. No, on Him alone you will call, and if He pleases, He will relieve your affliction. Then you will forget your idols.
In surah 6, ayat 149 it says, The idolaters will say, Had Allah pleased, neither we nor our fathers would have served other Gods besides Him.
In surah 2, ayat 221, it says, You shall not wed pagan women, unless they embrace the faith. A believing slave-girl is better than an idolatress, although she may please you. Nor shall you wed idolaters, unless they embrace the faith. A believing slave is better than an idolater, although he may please you. These call you to Hell-fire, but Allah calls you, by His will, to Paradise and to forgiveness.
In surah 24, ayat 3, it says, The adulterer may marry only an adulteress or an idolatress, and the adulteress may marry an adulterer or an idolater.
In surah 5, ayats 116 to 118, there is given this imaginary dialogue between Allah and Jesus Christ, which is highly insulting to the Christians: Then Allah will say, Jesus, son of Mary, did you ever say to mankind, worship me and my mother as Gods besides Allah? Glory to You, he will answer, How could I say that to which I have no right? If I had ever said so, You would have surely known it. You know what is in my mind, but I cannot tell what is in Yours. You alone know what is hidden. I spoke to them of nothing except what You bade me. I say, Serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I watched over them whilst living in their midst, and ever since You took me to You, You Yourself have been watching over them. You are the witness of all things. They are Your own bondsmen. It is for You to punish or to forgive them. You are the Mighty, the Wise one.
In surah 25, ayats 17 to 19, there is given another imaginary conversation, this time between Allah, the idols and the idol-worshippers, which is highly insulting to Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, etc. On the day when He assembles them with all their idols, He will say: Was it you who misled My servants, or did they wilfully go astray? They will answer: Allah forbid that we should choose other guardians besides You. You gave them and their fathers the good things of life, so that they forgot Your warnings and thus incurred destruction. Then to the idolaters Allah will say: Your idols have denied your charges. They cannot avert your doom, nor can they help you. Those of you who have done wrong shall be sternly punished.
7 While the Koran abounds with saying which incite violence, insult the religious beliefs of other communities and even exhort the Muslims to kill and murder non-Muslims, the problem is aggravated by yet another fact which has been true in the past and is universally true in our own times that unlike other communities Muslims are, and even fresh converts tend to become, highly orthodox people and follow the sayings of the book with a fanatical zeal with the result that whichever country has their sizable number amongst its population can never have peace on its soil.
(This was said in 1985 and it is still true today 2014!)
8. The offending expressions contained in the Koran and quoted in paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 above are not so offensive in their translation in which they are so quoted as they are in the original verses in Arabic or in Urdu, the very sound of whose inimitable symphony not only sends the Muslims to tears and ecstasy but arouses in them the worst communal passions and religious fanaticism which have manifested themselves in murder, slaughter, loot, arson, rape and destruction or desecration of holy places in historical times as also in contemporary period not only in India but almost all over the world.
sidney penny says
Note:
“……..in historical times as also in contemporary period not only in India but almost all over the world.”
What a summary!
Why are Muslim leaders, not only in the west but all over the world, not confronting these people to say that Islam is a peaceful religion and you are wrong in your understanding of the Koran and other Islamic texts.
Vapourking says
Authorities are worried these individuals leaving our shores to wage Jihad might become radicalised, thus pose a threat upon their return.
Hmmm…. Just a shot in the dark here and I know this will probably sound crazy, but is there chance just by wanting to go
these fine outstanding members of our societies are already radicalised?
Why stand in their way the more the merrier I say, I’ll even pay their airfares.
Chances are they’ll get killed anyway, if they don’t, and succeed in creating the Caliphate, why would they won’t to come back? Returning defeats the purpose of going.

Veil for Sale
This AS-IS vehicle is GUARANTEED to drive you straight to hell.
Built on a poorly designed (reversed engineered) platform that blames its defects on “infidels.”
Its is FUELED by vanity disguised as “honor” and well lubricated with slick lies.
No side-by-side comparisons are allowed with this WRECK. Dare you asked why?
Medina’s best salesman will try to entice, intimidate then obligate you to take a test drive.
He wants you to run over Infidels without a trace of shame while calling out God’s name.
He will try to justify his reckless road-rage behind the pretense of “honor.”
Murder, kidnap, and rape of non-Muslims is what Muhammad calls faith.
His “SALES MANUAL”will promise you sex with 72 slightly-used virgins.
He will jealously burn down all other dealerships in his neighborhood if given the chance.
His “fastest growing dealership” is growing on a fragile CRIMINAL base. (Quantity not quality)
Apostates with BUYER’S REMORSE will (literally “die”) for wanting to drive something better.
Buyers, you must escape this vehicle fueled by vanity and hate.
Truth will soon send this junk to its scrap heap of fate.
BUYER BEWARE whenever…his blasphemy (name drops) “yes God is great”
then sleazes in with “Oh and by the way this is what (I say) in God’s name.”
IT IS TIME FOR A TRADE-IN,
Behind Muhammad’s lies and Sharia’s disgrace,
Muslims who attack others will veil their shameful face.
Repent and be free. It is time for a change.
Satan expects obligation but is owed nothing. He speaks from his “seat.” His dogma is a diaper.
