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

Jordan arrests 11 members of Islamic State over jihad terror plot

Sep 21, 2014 4:17 pm By Robert Spencer

ISIS-MapJordan is included among the countries that the Islamic State has stated it wants to conquer first — before it continues to expand to the rest of the world, of course. “Jordan arrests 11 alleged IS members over terrorist plot,” AFP-JIJI, September 22, 2014:

AMMAN – Jordan has arrested 11 members of the Islamic State (IS) group who it said confessed to planning “terrorist operations” in the kingdom, a security official said on Sunday.

IS jihadists have seized swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria, both of which border Jordan, declaring a caliphate and imposing a brutal interpretation of Islamic law.

The 11 alleged IS members “admitted their links to the leadership of the Daesh organisation in Syria and that they were charged with carrying out terrorist operations in Jordan targeting a number of vital interests,” the official said, using the IS group’s Arabic acronym.

Security forces were continuing their investigation into the group, the source added in comments published by state news agency Petra.

Washington has drummed up support for an international coalition, which includes Jordan and Saudi Arabia, to tackle the IS group in Syria and Iraq.

The jihadists’ advances have raised fears that they could gain ground in neighboring Jordan, which is struggling to deal with an influx of 600,000 Syrian refugees and to contain local Islamist groups.

    The map is not accurate. Tatarstan – which is smack in the middle of European Russia – is a Muslim land too.

      That explains the obsession of Obama and his puppet NPR over eastern Ukraine.

    They left out France up to Tours, once conquered fair and square, however temporarily, by Islam. Once they plant the black flag of jihad it’s theirs for all time according to Islam. Not to mention Dearborn or parts of Tennessee and Minnesota. Or for that matter, big chunks near here.

      fair and square?

      I am not a historian but Muslims no doubt had spies on the inside following along the old trade routes.
      Probably Muslims posing as Muslim’s ancient Middle East neighbor enemies or using them as information dhimmis. It is what it is.

      War is deceit

        Yeah, “fair and square” “according to Islam” in the next sentence. I am willing to let Islam keep the territory they stole from the Jews of Arabia in Mecca and Media, I guess. Islam is one big occupation of stolen land.

    What name does a Muslim from the heart of the Middle East call a fellow Muslim who does not wish to pray five times a day with a heart filled with hate.
    — an non-practicing unreligious Extremist

    My, what a big chunk of that map is labeled ‘Kordistan’. There isn’t much left of Persia. Turkey is noticeably smaller. Do you suppose someone is making a serious offer to the Kurds? The Caliphate’s diplomacy with the Turks has been quite successful.

    How come the state of Al-Bartania is still not shown in black on
    the map? I visited Londonistan last year, and it looked like a Muslim
    slum, just short of hens running on street and folks slaughtering
    halaal their goats in full public view.
    I now understand why the Scots wanted to secede. They do no not want to
    be swamped by Mussalmen in the very near future.

      You are so right. London and so many of our cities are swamped with anti-social aggressive muslims. There can only be one outcome.
