The Islamic State is angry at McCain because they think he spearheaded the invasion of Iraq. In any case, note their grounding of their actions in Islam: “Until we return to the correct state of Islamic affairs, it’s upon us all to work together to eradicate the principle of ‘free choice’ and to not deceive the people in an attempt to seek their pleasure, neither by calling to ‘free choice’ directly, nor by alluding to it indirectly. Rather, we must confront them with the fact that they’ve turned away from the religion, while we hold onto it, grasping its purity, its clarity, its comprehensiveness, without any blemishes due to shirk, misguidance, or heresy.” They are presenting themselves as the exponents of true Islam, and directly confronting those who see Islam differently as apostates and heretics. It would be refreshing for some Muslim spokesman in the West to show why their view of Islam is false on Islamic grounds. But they never do this — everyone in government, law enforcement and mainstream media assume they have done it already, so why bother doing the actual work?
“New ISIL Mag Touts Ethics of Execution, Targets Sen. McCain,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, July 28, 2014:
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) promotes the stoning of women, targets “the enemy” Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.), and vows to bring its violent campaign to Israel in the latest issue of its propaganda magazine, Dabiq.
As ISIL continues to wage war across Iraq and forcefully promulgate its extremist version of Islam, the group’s public relations arms is making an effort to justify the terror group’s violent campaign and bloody public executions.
The magazine, published by the Al-Hayat Media Center, ISIL’s PR wing, mandates the forced conversion to Islam for people across the globe and demands that all Muslims pledge allegiance to ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who has announced that he is the caliph, or leader, of the new Muslim state in Iraq.
The latest issue—which contains photos of those ISIL has executed and of the new arms the group has seized—comes as the Obama administration is pushing Congress to repeal the U.S. war authorization in Iraq, a move that would assure U.S. troops do not intervene in the conflict.
ISIL leaders offer public comments on the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians and vow to expand the terror group’s reach to “Palestine,” where it will “fight the barbaric Jews.”
“As for the massacres taking place in Gaza against the Muslim men, women, and children, then the Islamic State will do everything within its means to continue striking down every apostate who stands as an obstacle on its path towards Palestine,” one article states.
“It is not the manner of the Islamic State to throw empty, dry, and hypocritical words of condemnation and condolences like the [Arab nation] do in the [United Nations] and Arab League,” the article continues. “Rather, its actions speak louder than its words and it is only a matter of time and patience before it reaches Palestine to fight the barbaric Jews and kill those of them hiding behind the Gharqad trees—the trees of the Jews.”
ISIL also brags about the “numerous weapons” it took from a group of Kurdish fighters that it killed, including assault rifles, machine guns, rocket propelled grenade launchers (RPG), sniper rifles, and night vision goggles.
The magazine also features a photo spread of ISIL’s execution campaign and recent stoning of women who committed adultery.
“The hadd [punishment] of stoning is carried out on a woman for committing adultery,” reads a caption above the pictures.
Also featured is a picture of dead pro-Iraq government fighter that ISIL claims to have executed in Iraq.
“The mujahidin executed a captured member of the Rāfidī “Badr” militia,” or Iraqi army, the caption reads. “Just days before, “Badr fighters were killed in clashes with the Islamic State in the town of Bashīriyyah.”
The magazine includes a two-page spread on “the enemy” and “crusader” McCain, who ISIL accuses of spearheading the “invasion of Iraq.”
Additionally, the magazine includes a long feature piece that attempts to justify the forced and violent conversion of people to Islam.
“Until we return to the correct state of Islamic affairs, it’s upon us all to work together to eradicate the principle of ‘free choice’ and to not deceive the people in an attempt to seek their pleasure, neither by calling to ‘free choice’ directly, nor by alluding to it indirectly,” the article states.
“Rather, we must confront them with the fact that they’ve turned away from the religion, while we hold onto it, grasping its purity, its clarity, its comprehensiveness, without any blemishes due to shirk, misguidance, or heresy,” the article reads.
“We’re completely ready to stand in the face of anyone who attempts to divert us from our commitment to making the religion of Allah triumphant over all other religions, and that we will continue to fight the people of deviation and misguidance until we die trying to make the religion triumphant,” it says.
Muslims from around the world are instructed to join the Islamic state in Iraq and devote allegiance to ISIL leader al-Baghdadi.
Tradewinds says
Look at the Islamic barbarians and their false “religion!”
Michael Copeland says
The Islamic State “mandates the forced conversion to Islam for people across the globe.”
When Robert Spencer described Islam as a “system that mandates warfare against unbelievers” the Home Secretary claimed that “that may foster hatred”, entitling her to bar him from entry “under the Unacceptable Behaviour policy”, as being “not conducive to the public good”.
Keeping the public in the dark, therefore, must be “conducive to the public good”.
Jeff says
Haha, what a joke– murdering Muslims are calling Jews “barabaric.” What mindless beasts they are!
Jose Allen says
I do not know why we don’t sit quietly… and make them VERY afraid. Does anyone remember the cold war weapon…umbrellas which fired deadly poison wrapped in pigs fat ? Does anyone remember the many assassins who tried to kill President de Gaulle ? Forsyth not only wrote the book about them he also interviewed many of them..scary.
. With silence and secrecy we could begin to frighten the leaders and clerics who are so intent on undermining our civilization… or what they have left of it… not loudly with bombs… but with quiet and sinister intent.

I downloaded the mag. It makes interesting reading over breakfast.
I am thinking of posting copies of it to local politicians as examples of “pious Islamic thought”.

Pornography for pious sadists.
Advertising the Religion of Cruelty.
gravenimage says
Pornography is *exactly* what this is, DDA. And the nastiest pornography is clean and life-affirming compared to *this*.
I remember the first time this comparison really occurred to me—some years ago here, when a Muslim “youth” in Britain declared that watching beheading videos was the “best use of cell phones”.
Not looking up pictures of cute starlets in the buff, but watching innocent victims choke and bleed. *Ugh*.

New Islamic State mag promotes stoning women, targets “the enemy” Sen. McCain and vows to “fight the barbaric Jews”
……………………………
Of course, the well-meaning but often clueless John McCain has also *supported* ISIS’ fellow Sunni Jihadists in Syria, in the mistaken belief that they are “freedom fighters”.
But none of that makes any difference—he is an Infidel, and has been a soldier for the “Great Satan” America, and so they target him as a “Crusader”.

……………………………
This has *nothing* to do with the Jews being “barbaric”, and nothing to do with modern Israel—Muslims believe that the “last days” won’t come until savage Mohammedans mass murder all of the Jews.
Here’s my painting supporting Jews in the face of Muslim genocide: “I Am a Gharkad Tree”:

A glossy photo spread on a vicious, Dark Ages punishment. *Ugh*.
Hadd punishments are considered “claims of God (Allah)”—crimes so heinous that they are considered affronts to Allah.
And what are these crimes? Murder? Rape? Pedophilia?
Of course not.
These include “Zina”—often translated as “adultery”, but also encompassing such “crimes” as chatting with a member of the opposite sex and even being *a victim* of rape; petty theft; consumption of alcohol; and apostasy—and they call for the most hideous of punishments.
God, I hate Islam.
