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

Islamic State’s “sternly worded warning to each of those nations involved with America”: “their local and international interests will be legitimate targets”

Sep 16, 2014 11:17 am By Robert Spencer

ISISWhiteHouse2A “sternly worded warning” from a supporter of the Islamic State may just be an attempt to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah,” but with its photos in front of the White House and elsewhere in the U.S., the Islamic State seems intent on communicating that it can strike in the U.S. If it can, it certainly will.

“Islamic State supporter warns of attacks against U.S.: SITE,” Reuters, September 16, 2014:

BEIRUT (Reuters) – A supporter of Islamic State militants has warned of attacks on the United States and its allies if they continue to carry out military action against the group that has seized large parts of Iraq and Syria, the SITE monitoring service said.

The message on a well-known militant Islamist online forum is one of the few responses from supporters of Islamic State to Washington’s announcement last week that it was prepared to extend airstrikes against the group into Syria.

The posting on the Minbar Jihadi Media website condemned “intervention in the affairs of other peoples” and said it would trigger an equal response, SITE said late on Monday.

“It will lead to an equal reaction of the same strength in targeting the American depth and also the nations allied to it and in all aspects,” the message said in a translation from Arabic, according to SITE, which tracks militant forums.

The United States has stepped up its military response to the hardline group, which has beheaded several Western hostages.

On Sunday Islamic State released a video that it said showed the beheading of a British aid worker.

U.S. President Barack Obama is calling for a coalition of Western and Middle Eastern countries to fight Islamic State.

“I direct a sternly worded warning to each of those nations involved with America, or that are allied with it in their war against the Islamic Caliphate, that their local and international interests will be legitimate targets,” the posting by a supporter referred to as “Amir al-Thul” said.

The posting used religious language and said the author was speaking from a “blessed pulpit” but it was not clear what influence he had on the actions of Islamic State.

The message called on the public in the United States and its allies to oppose government actions against the group.

    The rotten fruit of the Arab Spring have distilled into poison that is ISIS. Of course, the long-time readers of Jihad Watch saw this coming a long, long, long time ago.

      The Arab “Spring” itself is the rotten fruit of the W.H.’s masters: the Muslim Brotherhood.
      I hope this stupid administration will wake up and rid itself of these vermins.

        The Obama Administration, Salah, I predict will never wake up. Obama will essentially do the minimum against ISIS for form’s sake and that will be about it.

        Obama is a fool and a ditherer and America has more than two years yet of this joker as President. Should ISIS hit the American homeland, it is possible that Obama at that point would give carte blanche to the American military and be, in effect, a figurehead, but even this isn’t a given, so entrenched is Obama in a fantasy view of the world.

          “The Obama Administration, Salah, I predict will never wake up. Obama will essentially do the minimum against ISIS for form’s sake and that will be about it. ”

          I’m afraid you’re right on this one, Wellington.

          “Obama is a fool and a ditherer and America has more than two years yet of this joker as President.”

          I’m afraid you’re wrong on this one, my friend. It’s more, much more than two years. The next president will ALSO be a fool. That is unless the American and all Western peoples wake up and put an end to this politically correct farce.

        • Wellington says

          Sep 16, 2014 at 4:29 pm

          Two plus more years of Obama, Salah. Then he’s out. As for what comes after him, yes, you could be very well be right it could be as bad (or even worse, God forbid) after him. No Democrat will be what America and the West needs and many Republicans would be pretty much useless too, though almost certainly none as bad as Obama. A person like Allen West would be optimal but the problem is such a person is probably not electable. Damn shame.

          Hope you and yours are doing well. Take care.

      The Arab Spring is an attempt to hide Islam’s emptiness.

      Instead of worrying about which foot to use to enter a bathroom and how not to piss off Allah yet again while Muslim neighbors spy on each other, these Muslims should learn to come face to face with Islam’s emptiness.
      Muslims cannot escape Islam’s bitter emptiness.
      All Muslims feel its menacing presence every day of the year.
      There are no exceptions whatsoever.
      Every Muslim experiences Islam’s emptiness.
      Every Muslim.

      Did I forget to mention that:
      All Muslims suffer Islam’s bitter emptiness?

    So ISIS shows up and shouts to the whole world “WE AR GUNNA GIT U CUZ JIHAD MOTHERF***ERS”. Some countries say “That sounds bad. We better do something”. Said countries actually do something (even though it’s clearly not enough). ISIS then says “STOP DOIN DAT OR WE AR GUNNA GIT U”.

    Howl at the moon, Muslims

    The Islamic State Muslims likes to pretend that, were it not for outside interference by the West and Israel their dream of an (Islamic Caliphate) would flourish like roses in a cool misty springtime breeze.
    They ignore the fact that Islam has many more thorns than flowers and that Islam’s worst enemy comes from within and Muslims will gladly butcher other Muslims to satisfy their self-righteous bloodlust to an ideology that is as barren as Earth’s two-faced lifeless moon that stalks earth at night yet hides away in daylight while at all times keeping one face hidden from our view.

    With the winding down of American intervention in Afghanistan the U.S.military were hoping to get back to their preferred war scenarios, meaning conventional warfare. However, now that Obama has, albeit lukewarmly decided to do something agianst ISIS, the military cannot put aside the knowhow they have achieved over the years in fighting jihad in Iraq an Afghanistan. However, they are not teaching anti-insurgency in the Military Academies. The top brass seem to think that they can choose the kind of war they might have to get involved in. The reality is that these days the what they have to fight is jihad and not the Russians or the Chinese or other potential conventional forces. The Russians have their own jihad problems. Now that the Ukaine conflict is winding down, the only conflicts going on in the world are jihad and that is only going to continue and increase over the whole century until some President comes and gets a dose of reality abandoning the fantasy land in which the likes of Obam and Camerron are living.
    The NSA, instead of snooping on regular Americans, should be looking at ways to nuertralize the jihadi propaganda via Internet.

    Islamic State’s “sternly worded warning to each of those nations involved with America”: “their local and international interests will be legitimate targets”
    …………………………….

    The US is the new “Rum”—Rome or Byzantium—whether she wants to be or not.

    Of course, too few Westerners understand what this is about.

    In the last weeks watching ISIS wax and Zero wane I’ve had a lovely, secret hope.

    That Zero’s handling of the war v. Islam will be so disastrous that, come election time, we-the-people will know we need a true military man. And then, we will elect Col. Allen West. With Ben Carson as VP of course.

    My heart is so much in this I hesitated to speak it aloud. I know it’s too good to be true.

    But I can dream…

      I am hoping for West also, but with Perry as VP
