This banner is in line with supporters of the Islamic State taking photos of the Islamic State flag held in front of the White House and other landmarks. The objective is to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60) and to emphasize the desire of Islamic State jihadis to strike within the U.S. The fact that they have supporters here in the U.S. who can hold the banner in Missouri and the sign at the White House shows that such a strike is a very real possibility.
Meanwhile, not just the jihadis quoted here but Hamas-linked CAIR and other Islamic supremacists in the U.S. are trying to exploit the unrest in Ferguson to further their own victimhood narrative. It has carried them this far, why abandon it now?
“‘How is democracy treating you guys?’ ISIS militants take to social media to encourage Ferguson protesters to embrace Islamic extremism,” by John Hall, Daily Mail, August 19, 2014 (thanks to Bob):
ISIS militants and their supporters are using social media to encourage protesters in Ferguson to embrace radical Islam and fight against the U.S. government.
Jihadists in Syria and Iraq and their sympathisers in the West have taken to Twitter to send messages of support to hundreds of demonstrators taking part in a ninth night of angry protests in the U.S. city following the shooting by police of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.
The militants’ tweets denounce local officers for the way they have attempted to quell the violence, make reference to historic acts of police brutality, and even use the hashtag #FergusonUnderISIS in an attempt to get angry young men in the city to declare allegiance to the Islamist group.
The news comes as footage purportedly taken from the scene of the Ferguson protests appeared to show one demonstrator marching along a street holding a sign reading ‘ISIS is here’.
One ISIS sympathiser calling himself Mujahid Miski, who claims to be from Minneapolis–Saint Paul but suggests he is now based in ‘the horn of Africa’, has led the campaign to encourage those taking part in the protests to embrace radical Islam.
In one message he tweets: ‘So how is democracy treating you guys? #FergusonUnderIS #Ferguson.’
He adds: ‘I thought u guys back in #Ferguson were supposed to be Free & that u had equal rights. I’d really like to know what changed? #FergusonUnderIS’.
Miski goes on to retweet dozens of messages by a Twitter user with the handle @AmreekiWitness, who claims to monitor and support the growth of radical Islam in the U.S..
Amreeki Witness’ messages focus on the treatment of black people in the U.S., praise Malcolm X for embracing Islam and urge angry young black men to take up the religion as it means the police ‘will fear you’.
In one message Amreeki Witness mocks the curfew police have imposed in Ferguson to bring an end to the disorder, saying: ‘We IS guys hate you for your freedom, eh? Just like that freedom uplifting curfew in #Ferguson? Wake up, or they’ll never let you outside.’
As the social media campaign began to take hold, with dozens of radical Islamists commenting on the Ferguson protests, Amreeki Witness tweeted: ‘May be time to organize the Muslims in America upon haqq and mobilize to #Ferguson. Defend the oppressed, start jihad here.’
The message attracted a large response, with one Islamist calling himself Amarka Al-Ahlam responding: ‘Preach, brother. We must organize brigades in preparation for the oncoming storm. #FergusonUnderIS #JihadinFerguson.’
Amreeki Witness added: ‘They cower in fear of us whilst they massacre and oppress you! It’s time to strike fear into the hearts of the oppressors. #FergusonUnderIS’.
News of the militants’ campaign to encourage Ferguson demonstrators to embrace radical Islamism comes as footage purportedly from a CNN live stream of the protests appeared to show one young man holding a sign reading ‘ISIS is here.’
It is not known whether the banner – footage of which has not yet been independently verified – was in support of the militant group or, as seems more likely, it was an attempt to compare ISIS to the local police force or the U.S. government.
Nevertheless stills of the alleged CNN footage were embraced by jihadists who have claimed they prove jihadists are already playing their part in the protests.
Chilling images of the alleged ISIS banner being carried by demonstrators have been widely shared by ISIS sympathisers on social media, who have used them to encourage supporters based in America to travel to Ferguson to further stoke the violence in the city.
News of ISIS’ attempt to hijack the Ferguson protests come as Palestinian Twitter users sent messages of support to the demonstrators and gave advice on the best way to cope with the tear gas police are using to disperse crowds.
As images emerged of heavily armed police and armoured tanks on the streets of nearby St Louis, many Palestinian Twitter users expressed their solidarity with demonstrators.
The messages of support from Palestinians come amid reports that many of the Ferguson protesters were heard chanting ‘Gaza Strip’ as they marched through the heart of the city.

ISIS is pure evil! …and the guy holding the sign “ISIS Here” would probably get his head cut off by ISIS. What a dangerous fool to support such evil.

In the comments on an article by Daniel Greenfield, one that was purportedly from someone who lives very near there (and having no reason to doubt the person), said, “multiple muslim groups have descended on this little town.”
Evil tries to take advantage of every situation where it sees a weakness. When people are easily stirred up, evil people come in and throw oil on the fire in order to get the mob mentality to follow their voice and increase the evil deeds.
And in this age of technology, it seems there is no place jihad can’t reach in order to seduce and/or influence with taunts, bragging and threats.
jewdog says
I read that Iran’s leadership is also chiming in on Ferguson. Now there’s a real bunch of civil rights purists.
What people need to realize, is that despite the usual political stereotypes, Third World people like blacks, Arabs etc. are often far more bigoted than white people of European ancestry. The Ferguson riots, for example, are an expression of violent hatred towards white people that found a convenient excuse. A recent ADL worldwide survey on anti-Semitism showed that Muslims are by far the biggest Jew haters out there. It’s time we started treating people realistically and not idealizing them into preconceived pigeonholes.
Jay Boo says
Sometimes the news media rephrases black racism against other races into something else that is easier for the news media to discuss so that the something else becomes the only topic.
However all the same, black folks are no more inherently bigoted than white folks nor any less. Bigotry is a fundamental human (behavioral characteristic).
This behavioral characteristic tends to be self-fulfilling.

The Twilight Zone ‘The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street’ video above is the original black and white version.
There is a more recent remake, but topics like this tend to get PC preachy on newer remakes. I am not sure if the remake is good or bad so I posted what I was familiar with.

Firstly its been reported that the suspect police officer in the Ferguson case has a fractured super orbital at the eye compliments of one of these thugs. It isn’t getting much press because it isn’t in the playbook.
Whether or not IS is here or not has sympathizers; we certainly have plenty of both homegrown and adopted Islamists ready and willing to kill as many infidels as possible. If they every organize and act as a unit they will have a problem. Our law enforcement agencies that are supposed to protect us may find limitations of law but consider how many vets there are from Afghanistan Iraq and other places. Many of them have had it seeing their comrade in arms fall or crippled. Highly trained, highly motivated, I’d guess sufficiently armed or knowledgeable where to find it; they just might pop out of the woodwork. The most dangerous element is the Muslim Brotherhood. Read writings from Banna. There is no timeline for their success in the West. Their goal is to conquer from within by camouflage. They will become highly educated, find executive level positions in companies, rise to high grades and executive appointments within the Federal government. Slowing they will start making changes that at first are not noticeable. This group, I’m 10X worried about compared to the Street crowd that can be brought down by force.
Ralph Haglund says
Is Sisi the only one who can bring down the Muslim Brotherhood? Your Great Leader should ask him for help, but I doubt he will. He only brings down muslim terrorists when it is politically correct to do so.

Need I remind our African-American cousins that it was muslim Africans (black and arab) who were instrumental in the wholesale, lucrative ‘export’ of most their African-Americans ancestors.
Godfrey Kemal says
Expect a growing alliance with extreme left (communist/anarchist) and Radical Islam.
Unfortunately, this seems only the beginning and will be widespread and global before long.
Heaven help us. We all need to reach out across borders/ethnicities and unite if we are to have any successs ( left/right politically, Christians, Buddhists, Atheists, Hindus, Jews, etc.).
The problem in the world now is a massive amount of disunity but Radical Islam is so ugly and evil that it should act as a natural unifier for all of humanity to oppose it. For some reason that is not currently happening.
Jay says
*Yawn* Let them try to run wild through the streets burning cars etc. like in Europe. They will find out the harsh reality of the difference between a country of government controlled pacifists, and one that has the 2nd amendment. Were not hotheads, but if they are going to overwhelm the police, and think to have their way in our streets then welcome to – An American holding a gun behind every blade of grass – paraphrased. I think if it comes to that the main problem won’t be ISIS or Jihadist supporters running amok in our streets – it will be running out of body bags for them. I try to follow Roosevelt’s advice of talk softly but carry a big stick:
– Barrett .416 semi auto / Schmidt&Bender Scope 12 x 56
– POF .308 semi auto / Super Sniper Scope 10 x 42

Why didn’t that sign holder get his ass kicked?
Arjay says
I’m here in the St. Louis area. He didn’t get his ass kicked because there are CAIR supporters and Nation of Islam members ALL OVER the protest/riot areas.
Also, it is coming out there are plenty of anti-American, Muslim sympathizer activists from California, DC and New York all over the place here in St. Louis stirring things up.
Arjay says
Here in the St. Louis area the past two weeks have been chaos. And YES, muzz sewage is very much involved.
First, the Nation of Islam HAS BEEN ALL OVER exploiting this situation. When a local reporter was “live” reporting on who and what groups were around and involved in the protests (riots)… someone came up to him on camera and announced the Nation of Islam was there. Well, we already knew that.
CAIR St. Louis has also been active… BIG TIME going around comparing the treatment of Blacks with how Muslims in America are treated.
It has been insanity. Oh and on a side note…
6’4″ 300+ lb Michael Brown about 10-15 minutes before his confrontation with the Police… robbed a store. He shoved and beat up a small slender built Asian store clerk/owner. Most gruesome of all (and all this is on security footage)… was Brown LIFTING THE LITTLE OLD MAN UP BY THE THROAT OFF THE GROUND AS HE THREATENED AND TERRORIZED HIM).
Oh, and the theft? A certain brand of cigarellos, very popular with the drug using crowd. You remove the tobacco and insert your own stash. Brown was looking for some “altered states.” Will be REAL INTERESTING what the toxicology reports say about Brown.
Anyway… Brown leaves the store he just robbed; and the Officer does not know Brown is a suspect in that when he first encounters him… then the call comes in about the robbery.
More (Black) witnesses are coming forward to confirm the police officer’s account of being rushed by Brown- pushed back into his squad car… beaten; oh, his eye socket was fractured. It was only AFTER THIS AND BROWN TRYING TO GET HIS GUN THAT THE OFFICER FIRED.
More than one shot. Well, yes. The shots in limbs are usually attempted take a suspect down without fatality. Yet the over 6 ft 300+lb bull kept coming. Also, his wounds ARE NOT IN THE BACK AS HAD BEEN REPORTED. The shots in his body do not indicate being prostate on the ground or a “hands up” stance… it was one of moving forward (or as the black witnesses say) rushing the injured cop.
None of this is being stated by Sharpton and company. But then again with Tawana Brawley and the Lacrosse College Players… and of course how the Jewish-Hispanic-Black American George Zimmerman was treated….
are we surprised?
Any way… yes, Islam in different forms is very much involved in the riots and unrest here in the St. Louis area.

Yes—thanks, Arjay—both for the information on the case and the view on the ground.

Thank you Arjay for the information. Most helpful.

“ISIS here” banner in Ferguson, Missouri as jihadis try to exploit race conflict
……………………………..
Horrifying—but this should not surprise at all.
Here in Oakland, it has been the same core group involved in “Occupy”, in the Ferguson “solidarity” riots, and in the Hamas-supporting attempt to block an Israeli-owned ship from off-loading in the Port of Oakland.
We’ve had windows broken out all over downtown and surrounding neighborhoods scrawled with the “Anarchy” symbol—and also thugs concealing their faces with the Keffiyehs and waving “Palestinian” flags.
And this is popular with actual Muslims, with active supporters of Islamic savagery in Gaza and elsewhere, and with witless Leftists, Communists, and Anarchists who consider such trappings “cool”, just like t-shirts celebrating the brutal “Che”.
Never mind that these useful idiots would be liquidated by their Jihadist “allies” as soon as their usefulness was over—just as Iran liquidated the Communist Tudeh Party and related hard-Leftists in the wake of the “Islamic Revolution” there.
