Jihad Watch

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

LA Times discovers: “N.Y., Canada attacks appear inspired by Islamic State exhortation”

Oct 29, 2014 11:56 pm By Robert Spencer

ZehafBibeauReality is getting to be so unmistakeable that even the mainstream media can’t ignore or gloss over it as easily as it has done in the past. And so now even mainstream outlets have to acknowledge truths that they have excoriated Jihad Watch and other counter-jihad outlets as “Islamophobic” for noting in the past.

“N.Y., Canada attacks appear inspired by Islamic State exhortation,” by Raja Abdulrahim, Los Angeles Times, October 29, 2014:

A spate of terrorist attacks in Canada and New York City last week appears to have been inspired by calls from Islamic State and other militants to launch lone-wolf attacks that could signal the rise of a kind of DIY terrorism, sowing fear on a smaller but more pervasive scale.

Last month a spokesman for Islamic State urged followers to attack Western and Arab targets “from your place wherever you may be.” Eschewing the large and organized attacks that have characterized terrorism of the recent past, he instead recommended killing by any means.

“If you are not able to find an IED [improvised explosive device] or a bullet … smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him,” said the spokesman, Abu Muhammad Adnani. “If you are unable to do so, then burn his home, car or business. Or destroy his crops.”

That directive appears to have been underscored by the weapons used in last week’s attacks.

On Oct. 20 in Quebec, Martin Couture-Rouleau ran over two soldiers with his car, killing one. Two days later, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau fatally shot a soldier standing guard at the war memorial in Ottawa, using what police described as “an old and uncommon gun,” then drove to Parliament, where he was able to enter the building. The next day in New York City, Queens resident Zale Thompson attacked four police officers with an 18-inch hatchet, striking one in the arm and another in the head.

All three men were shot and killed during the attacks or soon after. Law enforcement and security officials have said the men acted alone and appeared to be self-radicalized….

        The reporter is a hijab’ed Muslimah. I don’t expect that she would be honest and admit that Islamic State’s ideology is thoroughly based on the normative texts of Islam.

      See Islam by Alfred Guillaume for his remarks that Islam has has had as many as four different Korans.

    “And so now even mainstream outlets have to acknowledge truths…”

    That’s why we must always be optimistic. The truths about Muhammad and Islam have been well hidden for 1400 years, now it’s over. No more hiding.
    Islam will be destroyed from within, from its own books, from its own teachings, by his own adherents.
    We must help Muslims better understand their religion, it’s not a big task, it won’t cost us any moneys. All we need to do is to FULLY implement the concept of free speech, especially on the MSM.
    Let people like Robert appear on a regular basis on every TV channel, let the world, and especially the Musim world, know what Islam is really about.
    Today we have a new ally in this war: ISIS!!!
    They’re doing a great job unveiling the filth of Muhammad’s teachings, the filth of the “Perfect Man” of Islam. Unfortunately, the price is heavy: a lot of innocent blood.

      “Today we have a new ally in this war: ISIS!!!” I agree: they’re making it more and more difficult for Cair , the mainstream media, and others to whitewash islam.

    @salah

    Must disagree with you, I do not see Islam being destroyed……at least not yet, Islam is to be used to fulfill biblical prophecy regarding the new temple to be built in Jerusalem and the rise of the false prophet, many Christians on JW would say the same I think .

    And coming across my news feed is this , the Australians have more children wanting to fight for the rising caliphate…….Scott Morrison is only partly right.

    Marine banned from daughter’s school after dispute over Islam homework assignment

    Posted: Oct 28, 2014 5:41 PM PST Updated: Oct 28, 2014 5:46 PM PST
    By Tom Fitzgerald, FOX 5 Reporter

    LA PLATA, Md. –

    A father and military veteran says he has been banned from a Charles County high school because he got into an argument with faculty over his child’s homework assignment.

    Kevin Wood received his no trespassing order on Tuesday. This all stems from a run-in between Wood and the vice principal at his daughter’s school.

    He says he challenged a history class assignment that had students list the benefits of Islam.

    The school says Wood crossed the line and threatened the vice principal.

    Both sides are talking, but they have very different versions of this assignment and the fallout that followed.

    “A lot of people do not understand where my husband is coming from,” said Melissa Wood.

    Melissa says her husband Kevin, a United States Marine and Iraq veteran, is the most patriotic person she has met. But now, he is banned from even stepping foot near their daughter’s high school.

    “I don’t force my religious views on them, so don’t force your religious views on me,” Kevin told us.

    This started when their eleventh grader came home from La Plata High School with a three-page assignment. It asked for explanations of Islam’s Five Pillars, Mecca and Muhammad.

    Kevin and Melissa didn’t like it and feel religion should not be taught in public schools. They say Islam should not get priority over Judaism or Christianity.

    “We cannot discuss our Ten Commandments in school, but they can discuss Islam’s Five Pillars?” said Melissa.

    Kevin went to the school to talk with a vice principal, but things got heated. Kevin would end up getting slapped with a notice banning him from the school property.

    “I have witnesses that have said I did not threaten anybody in any way shape or form,” said Kevin.

    “He was threatening to cause a disruption or possible disruption at the school,” said Katie O’Malley-Simpson, spokesperson for Charles County Public Schools.

    She says the high school was in its rights to ban Kevin from school property. They also that defended the assignment on Islam and say his objections are off base.

    “We’re not teaching religion,” said O’Malley-Simpson. “We’re teaching world history.”

    “None of us parents knew about this and they didn’t tell anybody,” Kevin said.

    For now, both the Woods and school officials have been talking about the dispute and hope to come to a resolution. But for Melissa, the hardest lesson of all has been hearing her husband described as something she says she knows he is not.

    “They’re making him sound like he’s some bad person,” she said. “He’s not a bad person. He fought for your country.”

    The Woods’ daughter has been allowed to go to the high school library during the class where the assignment was handed out.

      This is a big problem in our schools. Islamic indoctrination of kids starts in our school and then it continues in the universities(thanks to the Saudi money which we give them for oil/gas). No wonder by the time kids grow up and come into the adult world they have been thoroughly indoctrinated about Islam as a religion of peace and the continue this crap when they join the media.

      This has to be stopped or there will be nobody left to tell the real truth about Islam. Today’s NYTimes is writing about “persecution” of Rohingya (Muslim in Myanmar) and yet to date I have never seen them worrying about persecution of Hindus and Christians in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sudan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other ME countries which has been going on for last fifty to 1400 years. The writers are the same kids who learned the lies of Islam in schools and universities and now are the media spreading the same lies!! The media is hypocritic and has no shame just like the Muslims!!

      I would hope that the parents in this case will be able to get in touch with ACT For America…if they have not already done so.

      Because one of the main campaigns Act for America has been involved in, is to identify and challenge the Islamisation of education.

      My family home schools and uses K12 so we don’t traditionally homeschool we use an online charter. In the past, K12 has included a chapter on Islam and it has been brief and rather neutral. This year, however, the 6th grade history lesson on Islam glorifies it, talking about the significant contributions to math/science and medicine. Thee Five Pillars and every thing else. I am disgusted. I understand that this has to be included in a World History class but at the rate of evolution of the whitewashing of Islam over the years using K12, the texts by 8th grade ought to be unimaginable.

    If there is further contact, I hope Mr Woods has a recording device in operation.

    From the lameness of the charge: “He was threatening to cause a disruption or possible disruption at the school,” said Katie O’Malley-Simpson, spokesperson for Charles County Public Schools.” It sounds like he simply didn’t believe that listing the alleged benefits of islam was an appropriate question.

    Religion has played a huge part in history It might be appropriate to teach a entire class about that. But as an unbeliever, I don’t want my child subjected to the propaganda of ANY religion using history.as a pretense. It’s possible to recount the battles and the history involved without getting into the theology – or it’s possible to indoctrinate under the cloak of a history lesson. Supplementary materials with a thumbnail of each religion discussed should be sent home with each student to be discussed with parents. And listing the articles of faith of any religion should not have anything to do with the student’s grade, even if he or she thinks one or more of the prophets is the spawn of Satan. Requiring a recounting of some crazy ass prophet’s articles of faith is not inherent to the history. What he and his followers did to spread the faith and keep believers and unbelievers in line is solid history.

  6. IQ al Rassooli says

    Oct 30, 2014 at 4:26 am

    It is obvious that the school is stretching the idea of ‘teaching history’ when the assignment is the ‘five pillars of Islam’ which has absolutely NOTHING to do with history

    The father (a veteran marine) is absolutely right to question the DHIMMI (servile) mind set of the school authority sucking up to Islam while prohibiting Judeo- Christian teachings

    The TRAGEDY is that no other parents have had the backbone or the intellect to stand by him and FORCE the school to RECANT

    This spinelessness by so many American parents is the cause of the demise of educational excellence in the USA because most parents it seems do not give a damn what their children are indoctrinated with

      What it amounts to in US public schools, is that parents have little rights at all. This father is finding that out.

      Oct 30, 2014 at 12:06 pm

      They are afraid of being called ‘racist’. But you are also right in assessing the rather large number of ‘no-religion’ parents who don’t have a clue about the meaning of religion in general. They are aging potheads.

    I read a portion of the hand out to students..it called Muhammad a kind and wise man who changed the world. I threw up a bit in my mouth. How about including the beheading of the surrendered men of the Jewish tribe..or the raping and enslaving women and children..the ordering of assassination of simple poets who opposed him..was Genghis Khan described as wise and kind? This is nothing more than a white wash of history. YEAH..Muhammad was sympathetic to widows and orphans..but he made a lot of them as well.

    After a while you can’t ignore reality. While most of the useful idiot kuffar, still talk about Islam wrongly (pull the punches), they are at least talking about it. They all use the word, ‘radical’ now, It has been generalized into the population.
    I looked in the yellow pages for ‘The Church of Radical Islam’, but there is no listing for it.

    Within a few years the journalism faction of the nuance fellowship will announce its original discovery that the Islamic State is, indeed, true Islam inspired by the Koran. Bobbleheads onTV will proclaim their great surprise and congratulate theirselves for their investigative prowess.

    Still, don’t let yourself, Bob, become too excited when that happens. They will soon after get down to a public comparison of the Koran and Tanakh. They will fret and wring their hands for few years more, but then they will announce that they’ve made another shocking discovery:

    Islam is Submission, and Submission is Judaism misspelled and with tweaks.

    P.S. There are good reasons to believe that Islam is morally nihilistic. After all, as in Torah, there is no teaching about morality being objective, immutable, and beyond the willpower of the god to control. Oh, no. It’s always the god prohibits one behavior and the god requires another behavior. To have included any hint that the god is the prisoner of objective morality would flirt to closely with the truth that correct religion doesn’t need the god or His human mouthpieces at all to know the common law of existence.

      It appears many more journalists are losing their patience with the taqiyya artists.

      As journalists discovery the PEW surveys (revealing over 60% support for Sharia and Caliphate), they will realize that ‘extremism’ is actually normative Islam.

      • mortimer says

        Oct 30, 2014 at 12:00 pm

        I am deeply offended that you say Judaism is nihilistic. Judaism is the interpretations of Biblical texts as well as its traditions and its development. Judaism does not have nearly the flexibility that Islam has in morality. A Jew who practiced the offensive twaddle you are preaching would be thrown out of the synagogue.

    Since the America and the great West have long forsakent the true and only GOD,JEHOVAH and HIS SON,JESUS,the LIGHT of the world,why would not they suffer the consequences ?
    In the last 7yrs America has been suffering under Obama that had tricked them as a christian along with his wife when almost 3/4 of his African extended family are chronic muslim and that made him the first muslim and black man at helm of affairs in the hallowed White House ! And Saudi’s oils money is doing a lot on both soils of America and UKs.
    If you go to America,UK or some parts in Europe you will see the degree to which the once ago missionary countries have turned away from the true GOD their fathers have once shown the world. On Sundays only few people come to serve GOD and listen to touching sermons and teachings in the Bible that can change their lives and edify their feet in the ways of the LORD,they use the sundays now partying,clubbing and or funseeking about,then the so called fake doctrines and islamic (nicolatan) teaching come and sweep the areas away systematically.
    World evangelists and great preachers have forewarned your leaders and people but they yielded not!
    Now,thank GOD you all can quickly readjust unlike the one way *zombies * arabs. Go back with your children and children’s children to seek the one and true GOD,JEHOVAH father of LIGHT. Love Jerusalem and support Israel,so that the promised biblical peace be yours forever. Tell the bloody cave dwellers and their boodthirsty allah and its religion to dwell forever in their dry land of their rebellion against the one and only true GOD,JEHOVAH if they reject the good peaceful call of JESUS gospel. Send back to their evil and horrible suicidal countries before they send you all to their hell where mohammed their perfect murderer,rapist,paedophile,ursurper,impostor,disdainful and discord sower prophet languishes.
