Jihad Watch

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

Islamic State threatens Americans, but US not going to “defeat and decimate” it

Aug 9, 2014 4:06 am By Robert Spencer

The idea that the Maliki regime will include Sunnis in its government and that will trigger the defeat of the Islamic State by Iraqis is more Obama fantasy. And meanwhile: “#AmessagefromISIStoUS: Islamist militants tweet gruesome images of dead American soldiers and vow to blow up embassies after Obama launches airstrikes,” Daily Mail, August 8, 2014 (thanks to Beagle):

Supporters of the ISIS terror group tweeted thousands of messages on Friday bearing the hashtag #AmessagefromISIStoUS featuring gruesome photos and threats to U.S. soldiers and citizens after American airstrikes took out terrorist targets in Iraq for the first time.

Some tweeted photos depict dead U.S. Army soldiers, U.S. marines hung from bridges in Fallujah, decapitated men, human heads on spikes, and the twin towers in flames on September 11, 2001.

‘This is a message for every American citizen,’ read one message sent with the hashtag. ‘You are the target of every Muslim in the world wherever you are.’

Obama's decision Friday morning to launch strikes against ISIS artillery positions set off ISIS backers and triggered online propaganda

'We will make a barbecue party on you': Some of the threats came in broken English from accounts that mostly tweet in Arabic

‘US citizens will be a target for ISIS,’ another reads, ‘because of American airstrike[s] on Iraq.’

Another warned that ISIS is ‘ready to cut your heads Dear Americans O sons of bitches. Come quickly.’

That tweet also carried a second hashtag: #WarOnWhites. Others featured taunting captions to pictures of soldiers previously wounded or killed in Iraq, reminding Us commanders what happened last time there was a full scale invasion….

    In for a penny, in for a pound. The IS does not do politics, humanitarian gestures, restraint, or make idle threats. We are the only nation on earth capable of dealing with these, yes, savages.

    The world is watching and watching you, President Obama. You have given up the element of surprise, but fortunately overwhelming force from the air is still available.

    Thanks for the hat tip, and all you do, Mr. Spencer.

      Actually, ‘The Muslim World’ would gladly turn on ISIS if the news media did a full on blitzkrieg on assigning blame the atrocities where it most rightly belongs that is, not so much on ISIS but on the foul ideology of Islam itself.

      When Islam is rightly dragged through the mud Muslims squirm and take notice as proved by the recent Jihad Watch article.
      “WE ARE BEING BUTCHERED UNDER THE BANNER OF THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH”

          I think you misread my point
          It is not about “muslims protesting any thing the so called radicals do.”
          That is obvious the could care less

          My point was that self-serving Muslims don’t say a word UNTIL it brings undeniable shame on Islam.

        If there a Muslim air force capable of conducting precision airstrikes over what’s become a fairly sizable nation-state fighting a multi-front war, please feel free to help or even take over.

        I am concerned the Gulf Arab air forces are unsuitable for this job. If Abdullah sends out an airstrike, I fear the IS gains an air force.

        • Jay Boo says

          Aug 9, 2014 at 11:27 am

          Gulf Arab’s support the ideology until it either reveals Islam’s inherent shame or becomes a political threat.
          In spite of financial backing ISIS still needs the plausibility of Islamic support of to maintain an viable army.
          Muslims do not want ISIS to reveal the full extent of Islam’s filth and will turn against ISIS when there is no other face saving alternative.
          Islam (itself) is undeniable butchery.
          Yet the news media denies Islam is the problem.
          This enables Muslims to deny it.
          Reveal Islam, until every Muslim will have no other choice but to squirm with shame.

    ” war on whites”.
    It has long been an objective of the Muslims to turn the global Jihad against Islam into a race war.
    In the many years that I worked in the Middle East, I was frequently told by Muslims that ” Christianity was the white man´s religion and that all black and brown people should be Muslims”.
    I always countered that around 70% of the world´s Christians were brown or black people and that millions of “white people” were Muslims.

    You were going BBQ us sometime anyways, it just got moved up on the agenda.

    Lets just face the facts though, eventually all of the sex slavery and genocide will cause even your libtard allies to abandon you, but you’ll have to BBQ a lot of us, so the libtards understand what you are, so get on with it.

          That’s right, any religious murder/rape/kidnapping pogroms the Islamists tried here would come to a very quick end. It would be a shock to Islam’s system when they see what the American citizen is made of if they tried it. They are pretty used to running roughshod over the citizenry everywhere else. Here would be a different story, entirely. It ALMOST make you wish they would try it.

      You bring up an interesting subject. I have long wondered if the child marriage, wife beating, sex slavery and whatnot is (deep down) viewed as a feature or a bug by Islam’s many supporters on the Left. I hope and assume many of them are simply ignorant of all of it or consider it ‘winger’ propaganda.

    Making a threat, and carrying it out are two different things. Certainly terrorists can do damage, but they will never take over.

    I think we’re doing the right thing in rescuing the minorities trapped by ISIS but not trying to decimate them. ISIS has done a useful job of limiting Iranian influence in Syria and Iraq. Now the challenge is to encourage them to move into Iran, but stay away from Jordan. We can do that by helping Jordan beef up their eastern border to dissuade ISIS from going in that direction while hoping that ISIS marches further eastward.
    People may hate ISIS, but let’s learn something from their success. The fact is, they have a highly coherent ideology that motivates their followers. If we are to effectively counter them, we will need a similarly inspiring vision and a way to show how their vision fails in comparison. That is an impossible task without the ability to constructively criticize Islam, which is why we are losing the ideas war.
    By the way, did you notice that stocks rallied Friday when we announced our bombing campaign? I think investor confidence was boosted by the sense that we are asserting more control in the world. I wish we would do more for Ukraine, however.

    That tweet also carried a second hashtag: #WarOnWhites.

    No surprise there. Islam is a vehicle for arab supremacy. But remember: resisting this “WarOnWhites”, or even hinting it exist is “racist” and “islamophobic”. Are photos of the killing made by IS members #WarOnArabs? Are photos of hamas terror acts #WarOnJews? Of course not, it doesn’t fit the narrative. Whites are always the oppressor and non-whites are always the oppressed. If you’re white and you disagree with it you’re labeled a racist, facts be damned. If you’re not white and you disagree with it then you’re labeled either as a sell-out or as an ignorant idiot who doesn’t know your own history, facts be damned.

    In any case, muslims in the Caucasus are about as white as they come. They’re Caucasian, for God’s sake. Is ISIS at war with the Caucasus Emirate too?

    As Mr. Spencer posts “will the islamophobia never end”. Who do these fools think they are? Americans are the target of every moslem in the veld? Any moment now Cair or perhaps Qatar, or some other civil rights or humanitarian organization, will publish a hotly worded denial to the effect that no one can lump all moslems into a single collective. “Not all moslems are terrorists,” yeah, just jihadis are, and who make up the jihadis?

    The IS needs to be taken out. They are a direct threat to the US and need to be stopped in their tracks. And the Israelis need to take out Hamas in Gaza. Pull the troops out of Afghanistan, they are not our friends, and take care of the IS.

    I hear so much unbelievable nonsense coming out of Washington that it is unbelievable. Qatar isn’t our friend. Saudi Arabia isn’t our friend. The Afghans aren’t our friends.

    We need to focus on US interests and direct threats to the US and Israel. I’m all for helping the Christian refugees get to a place of safety. But other than that, we need to realize that islam is at war with the rest of the world and the rest of the world better start taking it seriously.

      Yes, there is an urgent need for all the non Muslim leaders across the globe, to come together to fight this Satan called ISIS /Islam. If we think that the fire which has engulfed the next house, does not affect us, then we are fools..It will certainly engulf our house also..So better to take care and put out the fire before it spreads..

    Listening to Josh Earnest talk about how the present Iraqi government has made progress sounds very familiar to statements by members of LBJ’s Administration, including LBJ himself, that the South Vietnamese government under Thieu was making progress in dealing with the Viet Cong and the NVA. Also, the decrepitness of the present Iraqi military reminds me of the woeful ARVN. A la Yogi Berra, it’s deja vu all over again.

    Too few have learned the lessons of history. Josh Earnest certainly hasn’t nor has his boss.

    This president needs to step down and we need a strong military man in place. One who understands warfare and what the cost really is and how to overcome an enemy. How about Allen West??? I vote for him. The so called president we have does not know a thing about the army and or war. These are real Americans dying and it seems to be in vain. All the while our enemy is sitting back laughing at the bafoon in chief!!!
