Jihad Watch

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

Video: State Department refuses to label Islamic State beheading of second US journalist an “act of war”

Sep 2, 2014 4:03 pm By Robert Spencer

What would be? A jihad bomb obliterating the White House and Washington, DC?

Probably not even that.

    I wonder what Ms Moore would say after she is gang raped by ISIS thugs, and sold into slavery for $25 dollars is she going to avoid labels

    Face it, for over 1,000 years in general, and the last 13 in a special way, Islam has been at WAR with the WORLD.

    Obama isn’t a bellicose fool and grandstander like George Bush. It really frustrates the RUSH BIMBOs of this site– those superficial posters who idolize Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney and their ilk.

      Bellicosity has nothing to do with this. BHO is neither principled, nor well-spoken, nor a man of timely and effective action.

      You mean as opposed to those who idolize a dead muslim murderer also known as mohammed, pee be upon him?

      Mr. Obama is, simply, a fool. And I wouldn’t hold him aloft to be my idol, no sir.

      speak for yourself, Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin are not in power they have no influence at all they are well paid talking heads. Take you blame for the Bush administration and stick it where the sun don’t shine.

      @ Uri

      Anything to say on Islam and the Obama regime? Or just more, “But Bush!” nonsense and bigotry against non-leftists?

      We got the war on drugs, the war on women, the war on men, the war on poverty, the wars and battles of gay marriage, and the wars on abortion…We got all these wars, but we ain’t got no war on ISIS or Islam, and as long as Rasool Obama is in office, we won’t have one, It’s just not inshallah, not yet anyway.

        Obama will declare war on Infidels who spurt blood from their necks and soil pious Muslims. Each and every aid worker, journalist and diplomat will be issued special tax payer issued spatter proof bibs, to be deployed during Islamic ritual sacrifices.

        It will be known as the “War on Dirty Infidel Blood”, an Islamic outreach program so Muslims will like us, because we won’t rudely soil them while they behead us.

        The US gummint declares war on decency, lilberty, and economic productivity while coddling the Muslim Brotherhood. We bully Uganda for having sodomy laws on the books, but won’t say a thing about IS carrying out an anti-Christian genocide (and this not too long after the Ba’athis eradicated the Mizrahim).

          Saudi Arabia beheads people in public too.

      The witless Uri wrote:

      Obama isn’t a bellicose fool and grandstander like George Bush…
      ……………………….

      Note that Uri considers it “bellicose” to consider the beheading of American citizens an act of war.

      He apparently has no problem with the beheading of Americans as such at all. *Good God*.

      And his mention of Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and Dick Cheney as supposed Jihad Watch touchstones is extremely odd—I can’t recall anyone here referring to any of these individuals, certainly not over the past several years.

      But I suppose that Uri and those like him assume that if you are concerned over beheadings or genocide, that it must be because you have been ‘brainwashed’ by Rush Limbaugh’s radio show…

      After all, why would anyone care otherwise? sarc/off

        “Note that Uri considers it “bellicose” to consider the beheading of American citizens an act of war.”

        Well said! gravenimage.

        I noticed also. In fact, this happens a lot – with those who look for excuses – only because they have no denfense.

        Uri’s statement speaks volumes about the kind of heart that he/she has.
        Your point, gravenimage, is exactly what is needed every time someone comes forth trying to change the subject – instead of addressing the barbaric acts of devout muslims – who are doing what their koran commands of them.

    “Call for Bishop McManus. Call for Bishop McManus.

    “The State Dept’s on the line. They want your advice on conducting interfaith dialogue.

    “They say it’s urgent. Pick up on Line 2.”

  5. Soloview says

    The intelligent response from an SD of an administration that has a strategy to deal with the IS would be something like this: The beheadings are not “acts of war” because the US does not recognize IS as a sovereign state. We see it as a criminal racketeering and terrorist organization operating extra-territorially and its fighters as stateless belligerents. We consider its actions and political agenda as inimical not only to the United States of America but to all legitimate states in the world, that it potentially targets. The IS cannot be reconciled with the core principles of fairness, human dignity and justice to all, principles that lie at the core of modern statehood and indeed in the very notion of a civilized society. The government of the United States therefore declares the Islamic State an enemy of civilized humanity and it is pledged to its unconditional destruction.

    Was Sotloff sympathetic to Muhammad’s religion of brigandry and theocratic despotism?

    ” ‘Steve Sotloff lived in Yemen for years, spoke good Arabic, deeply loved the Islamic world.. for this he is threatened with beheading,’ friend Anne Marloe tweeted after the release of the first video. ”

    See http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2740998/ISIS-release-video-showing-beheading-American-journalist-Steven-Sotloff.html

    If the remarks of the “friend Anne Marloe” can be corroborated, then I would recommend the conclusion that Sotloff’s death is justice well served.

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 2, 2014 at 9:20 pm

      Do you think that these pious Muslims beheaded Sotloff because he was clueless or complicit—assuming this is the case?

      They beheaded him because he was an Infidel.

      They would gleefully do the same to any of us.

      • PRCS says

        Sep 2, 2014 at 10:13 pm

        “They would gleefully do the same to any of us.”

        Now, as that is becoming evermore obvious, our elected and appointed officials are hunkering even further down into a pit of denial about Islam’s true teachings and goals.
