“The greatest answer to this question is in the Qur’an, where Allah speaks about the nearby enemy – those Muslims who have become infidels – as they are more dangerous than those which were already infidels.” When are the moderate Muslim spokesmen in the U.S. going to deign to explain to us how the Islamic State is misusing and misunderstanding the Qur’an? We all have to believe that on pain of charges of “Islamophobia,” so can’t we get them to explain how it is so even once?
“ISIS: Fighting ‘Infidels’ Takes Precedence Over Fighting Israel,” by Elad Benari, Arutz Sheva, July 8, 2014:
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), which is now known as the “Islamic State” after declaring an Islamic caliphate, says it won’t fight Israel – for the time being.
According to Israel’s Channel 2 News, an ISIS spokesman said Monday on Twitter, in response to questions about the organization’s intentions with regards to Israel, that ISIS first has to deal with “Muslims who have become infidels”.
“The greatest answer to this question is in the Qur’an, where Allah speaks about the nearby enemy – those Muslims who have become infidels – as they are more dangerous than those which were already infidels,” the spokesman tweeted, according to Channel 2 News.
“There is another answer that gives priority to fighting those who have become disbelievers over conquest of Jerusalem,” continued the spokesman.
“Jerusalem will not be freed until we get rid of the idolaters, such as the wealthy families and the players appointed by the colonial government and who control the fate of the Islamic world,” he was quoted as having said.
In Syria, ISIS fighters already control large swathes of territory in Deir Ezzor near the Iraq border, Raqa in the north, as well as parts of neighboring Aleppo province.
In Iraq, they have spearheaded a lightning offensive, capturing sizeable territories in the north and west of the conflict-torn country.
Former National Security Council director Yaakov Amidror warned last week against ISIS moving in on Jordan and posing a threat to Israel, adding that if Jordan requested Israeli assistance in preventing its border with Iraq from being overrun by ISIS, Israel would have little choice but to help.
A video released last week showed members of ISIS parading some of the advanced weaponry it has captured in its blitz conquest of Iraq to Syria, including long-range Scud missiles which could threaten Israel, as they have been fired at Israel in the past from Iraq during the Gulf war.

Well is not for the ISIS army fighting Israel is fighting a non-Muslim nation?
Bradamante says
Why do I get the sense that this is just typical bully behavior — that what they mean is that they’ll continue to “fight” people who are lightly or barely armed and execute soldiers who have already surrendered, and issue grandiose proclamations against other Muslims, but not go head-to-head against one enemy who probably has the strength to take them out — Israel.

Killing and beheading non-practicing or torpid Muslims seems to be the priority of al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed caliph.
He is forcing Muslims to reconsider their faith and decide between savagery and modernity.
Which side will they choose? The Egyptians have chosen modernity.
mortimer says
Al-Baghdadi has targeted all the ruling families of the Middle East for EXTERMINATION.
Jack Diamond says
yes and there are enough potential rebels in Jordan and Saudi for genuine insurrection worries. The fat (and unpretty) Saudi royals are especially targeted and especially despised (in spite of financing jihad). Muslims will just have to work out which side is part of the “Zionist/CIA” conspiracy and which one is the good guys. Very confusing, inshallah, Allah will sort it out.
haske says
I guess Israel shouldn’t wait for Jordan to demand any assistance. Preemptive attack at any convenient time is the best.
jewdog says
The Koran has it right in this case. Fight those bad Muslims first. Welcome to the Islamic Inquisition.

There is absolutely no comparison between Islamic jihad and the Inquisition. I am not defeding the Inquisition, but everything about it has been so exaggerated that it has very little similarity with reality. While the Inquisition was trying to eliminate heresy in Spain, the Protestants who were the ones who began the civil wars of the time provoked the death of a third of the population of Germany. In what is now Holland, how did the Calvinists begin their war on Catholics? By burning 80 churches. Nothing like that happened in Spain, thanks precisely to the Inquisition. Besides it carried out its investigations with tremendous seriousness leaving behind documents about each case. An with, for instance, would have been much better off being tried by the Inquisition that a civil court. It doesn’t seem that Mahommed ordered that any judicial enquiry be made before massacring his victims.

Pst! The Spanish Inquisition was started by the secular monarchs in the Reconquista to root out hidden or ‘occulted’ muslims pretending to be Christians.

So the Agency and da Mossad really know what their doin and directin Obama to have the Muslims fight and kill each other? I highly doubt it and still believe they want WWIII for Satan and wipe clean the ENTIRE ME.

If it weren’t for so much bloodshed it would be hilarious. Kinda like Reagan supportin Iran and Iraq!
Uncle Vladdi says
So al-Quaeda’s jihadis finally popped out of their caves, pretending to be a real army, and wannabe muslim caliph B. Hussein Obsama did NOTHING about it.
His most recently-quoted assertions are that the Iraqis are on their own, because “They’ll have to learn to take care of them selves eventually anyway, and they should try to find a ‘political solution!'” (to those heavily-armed criminals attacking them)!
How long has it been, since 9/11? How much money (trillions) and how many lives have been sacrificed to allah so far, (especially since, by giving them a sharia-based ‘constitution,’ Iraq has remained safely beyond any rehabilitation)?
And now he just GIVES IT ALL AWAY?!
And why hasn’t THIS happened on his watch:

The pseudo-American IMPOSTUS has committed supreme dereliction of duty, criminal negligence, and outright TREASON.

I’d like to see the actual tweet.
william penn says
How many beheadings in America before Imam Obama’s cabal decides to issue a comment on them? I’m guessing 25-30, then we’ll be given another stern lecture on jumping to conclusions and the peace of Islam. Oh, yeah, and why we should be disarmed.
