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

Syria: Islamic jihadists murder 102-year-old Alawite and his family

Jun 1, 2014 2:15 pm By Robert Spencer

SyriajihadistsA July 2012 fatwa by Muslim cleric Sheikh ‘Abdallah Khaled Al-’Adm (aka Abu ‘Ubayda), was entitled “Don’t consult with anyone [before] killing Alawites.” It called upon Sunnis in Syria to kill Alawites everywhere, without mercy, and said they were even greater Infidels than Christians and Jews.

“ISIL kills 102-year-old man, family in Syria,” AFP, June 1, 2014:

The most radical jihadist group fighting in Syria on Sunday killed a 102-year-old man along with his whole family in the heart of the country, a monitoring group said.

The 102-year-old was shot dead in his sleep, with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) also killing his son, his grandson, his great-granddaughter and her mother, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

All the victims were Alawites, members of the same offshoot of Shiite Islam as Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad.

Rooted in Al-Qaeda in Iraq, ISIL is the most extremist group fighting in Syria’s war.

Initially welcomed by rebels seeking Assad’s overthrow, their systematic abuses and quest for hegemony turned the rest of the opposition against them.

ISIL killed the family while attacking Zanuba village in Hama, said the Observatory.

“Some members of the family were burned alive, others killed in their sleep,” it added….

    “Islamic jihadists murder 102-year-old Alawite and his family”

    Muhammad killed a 120-year-old poet for writing verses criticizing him.
    Muhammad also killed the 90-year-old respectable Um Kerfa, she was split into two between two camels.
    Muhammad was an assassin, so are his followers.

    These same jihadists live near us in the West thanks to libtarded immigration policies that refuse to perceive our real enemies.

    Jihadists living in Western democracies (which they despise) are sleepers ready to do considerable damage and sabotage when called upon.

    Our Western politicians have a policy of CONTRIVED IGNORANCE, pretending not to see that the jihadist threat in the West is huge and growing and only held in check by armies of police and undercover agents working overtime with proper training to spot jihadists!

    How many sleepers are there?

    The Alawites have been ruling Syria for 100 hundred years with relative stability, but not perfect fairness. They are now dinosaurs, but the way forward is not simply to kill them off!

    Syrians may be ready to adopt greater democracy sometime in the next 10 years, but that cannot be forced on them. If they could stop the feuding, Syria could become prosperous like Israel.

      Syria and all muslim lands can NEVER have sustined prosperity. (Saudi Arabia depends on imported servant labor and finite oil to maintain their standard of living because hard physical work is beneath their dignity). The problem with Syria and all muslim dominate lands is the propensity for violence perpetrated in the name of Allah against those who are deemed less muslim or nonmuslim and this will not and cannot change as it is based on the neafrious work’s righteous theology of Islam. These counties will always be in termoil with violence.

        “These counties will always be in turmoil with violence.”

        Watch Israel shed lots of tears contemplating the violence, tyranny, and ingrained arab-on-arab suspicion, which infest her enemies to the point where they are impotent to wage a successful war on the Jews.

        We thank G-d who made our enemies cannibalize each other, within their societies and with their arab neighbors. Nice!
        Yes, we sure bemoan the fact that these morons are unable to unify into a cohesive front against Israel and the West.

      Really, mortimer, how can *any* islamic country ‘ stop the feuding’ ? This is normal islam.

      If there are no non-mohammedans around to murder, torture, humiliate, they turn on each other. Surely you can’ t have failed to notice this ?

      We don’t need to ‘kill them off’, they will do that themselves, without our assistance.

      I just hope that the *brave* of the West will leave them to it.

      Evil, in the end, eats itself.

      I disagree, Mortimer.

      One reason ( amongst many) that Israel is a thriving country– they (Jews-those in Israel and elsewhere) believe in education–INCLUDING FEMALES. Muslims do not (especially for females).

      Note-in Afghanistan (and Nigeria) the bombings and burnings of girls schools. (to a greater extent then schools- in general–other then Madress’es (perhaps spelled incorrectly) .
      And, the inability to integrate others-in Israel-there might be (this was told to me by an Israeli who worked in the pharmaceutical field) a person from Poland next to a person from France, next to———-.

      With Muslims–it seems, if you are not of my brand (of Islam) , I will kill you. (Personally, i would like to see more of that-Muslims killing Muslims).

      My views

    The GREAT SATAN America has brought these animals to power in Syria! And then you shake your heads in disbelief when we in the Muslim world proclaim our hatred towards your vile country!

    • Mirren10 says

      Jun 2, 2014 at 2:36 pm

      Who, exactly, are ‘these animals’ ? Assad, or the ‘Free Syrian Army’ ?

      It never ceases to amaze me, the way in which mohammedans never, ever, take responsibility for * anything* they do. Whatever transpires, it is always, ‘someone elses fault’. America, the wicked West, the evil Jooos, Zionist Israel, ‘islamophobes’, anything.

      in that respect, mohammedans are exactly like the abusive husband, who, after blackening his wife’s eye, says, ” look what you made me do “.

      What a bunch of spoilt little brats you are.

      So, If you are IN THE UNITED STATES (OR ANY WESTERN COUNTRY), AND DO NOT LIKE, IT, GET YOUR ASS OUT.

      You will NOT be missed–except perhaps by other Muslims. Take them with you.

    this is why I have always supported Assad. Not because I like him, not because he is a good guy but because, I don’t blame him for hanging on to power no matter what. Because if the Jihadis win all the alawites will be massacred, along with the drus and Christians, and Shiites. It is ridiculous that the west or anyone else should expect that Assad step aside so his people can be butchered like cattle. Look what the Muslims did in Lebanon the only Christian majority state in the middle east, well used to be. The European powers set it up so these minorities would be protected. But Europe has no balls anymore and the Muslims that used to respect and even tried to emulate them is many ways and when they had respect for Britain and France they gave a shit how they were seen in those countries. Now forget it. They don’t respect you for one reason. You are weak and Arabs hate weaklings. They respect power and that’s it. Something should have been done in Lebanon even if it meant going to war back in the 80s and things would be different today. We’ve lost our Faith, our nerve, and our gonads and Islam is rising and retrogressing rather than progressing as a result. But Assad, should never surrender or he and his people and the other minorities in Syria will be slaughtered and it’ll be the fault of the West.
