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

“Love”: The Islamic State’s Source of Strength

Oct 2, 2014 5:03 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

ISIS3The Islamic State recently posted a message on social media addressed to U.S. president Obama and all Arab world leaders reportedly allied with the U.S. against the new “caliphate.”

Titled “The State of Love,” the message harangues fellow Muslims to come and fight alongside the Islamic State against the “infidels,” adding: “The Islamic State does not spend billions of dollars to win over the hearts of people.  Instead, it relies on the love of Islam that exists among the masses.  And this is the secret of its strength.”

The post also carries an image of Obama and other Arab state leaders on one side and a lone jihadi terrorist on the other, with the caption: “With us or with the Infidels?”  The word “us” appears in bold under the jihadi and the word “infidels” appears in bold under Obama et al.

    For some really eye-opening details about IS (aka ISIS / ISIL) from a Christian perspective by an expert on Islam and IS, I strongly recommend watching the following presentation –

    The Rise of ISIS & The Christian’s Response | Jay Smith | [52:10]

          I am thankful that there are always “the few” – “the remnant” – the truly converted CHRISTians that have “an heart to perceive”, “ears to hear”, and “eyes to see” – that are aware of the incredible danger of ‘spiritual deception, delusion and a falling away from truth’ that we are in –
          – TODAY – RIGHT NOW !!!

    Love and Hate, Islamic Style

    The Koran devotes over half of its words to how foul and evil the kafirs are. There is not one good or sympathetic word for the kafirs. If you don’t believe Mohammed, then Allah hates you:

    40:35 They who dispute the signs of Allah [kafirs] without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers.

    If Allah hates, then a Muslim should hate, as well. This hate is not due to moral failings. No, a kafir is hated for the simple reason that the kafir does not think that Mohammed is a prophet. [If Mohammed is not a prophet, then the Koran is fiction, and Islam is meaningless.] In the Sira we find that Islam destroys cultured, wise people of high moral standards because they do not believe Mohammed. It is not personal; it is simply Islam.

    While there are over 300 references in the Koran to Allah and fear, there are only 49 references to love. Of these love references, 39 are negative such as the 14 negative references to love of money, power, other gods and status.

    Three verses command humanity to love Allah and 2 verses are about how Allah loves a believer. There are 25 verses about how Allah does not love kafirs (unbelievers).

    This leaves 5 verses about love. Of these 5, 3 are about loving kin or a Muslim brother. One verse commands a Muslim to give for the love of Allah. This leaves only one quasi-universal verse about love: give what you love to charity and even this is contaminated by dualism since Muslim charity only goes to other Muslims. There are over 400 teachings of hate of all infidels: Jews, Christians, Idolaters Kafirs. So much for love. Hate and fear is what Allah demands.

      In other words, the ultimate counterfeit. You’d expect nothing less from the enemy of our souls, that vile erpent in the garden who is down but not out (yet).

      By contrast, there are 551 references to love in the Bible and, interestingly, 806 references to Jerusalem – the city that is not mentioned once in the Qur’an. Nor is it mentioned in Arabic as Al Quds.

      “So much for love. Hate and fear is what Allah demands.”

      Precisely!!! …that was very interesting, and thank you for posting this info, Mortimer!

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 2, 2014 at 11:47 pm

      Great post, Mortimer.

      And remember, further, that not only does “charity” in Islam go only to Muslims, but “Zakat”, though often translated as “charity”, can also be used *to fund violent JIhad”—so this often isn’t anything we would even recognize as charity to begin with.

    Oct 2, 2014 at 6:39 pm

    ‘Love does not kill to save, if it did, murder would be salvation’.

    But Allah never heard of that because to him , murder ‘is’ salvation. So, Allah loves to kill, almost as much as he loves to torture. Pious Mahoundians, as a condition of pious, are obligated to love what Allah loves and hate what he hates.
    Acting on that is salvation to submitters. Inshallah, or something like that.

    • Kathy Brown, Esq. says

      Oct 2, 2014 at 7:18 pm

      Oh, Duh-‘inshallah, or something like that’? You slay me!

      But we do need the occasional comic relief on these sites or we’d all just lie down and die. I mean how much can you take of severed heads…stoning women…crucifixions…etc. Ad infinitum, ad nauseam, ad tedium…

      So thank you Duh. God bless all here and, as we say in federal court every single day, ‘God Save These United States’.

    ISIS is such pure, uncut Islam that if it were heroine, it would be considered lethal. It is not a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but is rather an unabashed, naked wolf. To say that ISIS is not Islamic is to admit that one is deaf, dumb and blind when it comes to Islam, so at least we have a good test, courtesy of ISIS, as to who knows anything about Islam. Many prominent leaders have flunked.

    “The Islamic State does not spend billions of dollars to win over the hearts of people. Instead, it relies on the love of Islam that exists among the masses. And this is the secret of its strength.”
    ——————————————-
    No. The secret of its strength is intergenerational brain washing and the power of evil Islamic teachings to appeal to the most depraved members of society.

    Note: not love of God, not love of all humanity, not love of virtue. No. Love of Islam.

    When as a boy I read in the newspapers hippies talking about Free Love, I snickered and thought there is no free lunch, especially where *that* comes in. Well, in the same way, with the Moslems there is no free Jihad. Somebody’s got to pay, and Love ain’t a legal tender in dealings with this crew.

  13. Wellington says

    Oct 2, 2014 at 9:36 pm

    Islam knows nothing of real love. Domination, yes. Submission, yes. Love, no way in hell.

    Islam is the S&M religion among the major faiths of the world (the sadism element is realized by Muslims dominating non-Muslims; the masochism element is realized by Muslims being slaves to Allah and, by extension, to Mohammed). And so love, true love, simply cannot exist in Muslimland, in Islamworld, in Muslimthink. Not at all. The S&M mentality replete in Islam precludes this.

    • Jay Boo says

      Oct 2, 2014 at 10:38 pm

      Yes, Wellington
      I would even say their is a parallel to an abused spouse who responds to the abuser by accepting the blame and attempting to prove they are worthy by offering submission as appeasement to their unknowable Allah when they should just kick Allah to the curb and toss him in the garbage can of Islamic filth.

      Love of Allah is mandatory in Islam.

      One would think that Muslims would easily see through this contradiction.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 3, 2014 at 12:10 am

      So true, Wellington.

      There is no love in Islam—no real fellow-feeling, no caring for the vulnerable, no love and protection of children, no romantic love, nothing.

      Only “love” for the thuggish “Prophet” and the bloody mad god Allah.

      Islam is an entirely loveless creed.

    I’m curious Islam-Is-Death.

    Your handle states that you understand the horrors of Is-Slime. So why take issue with my comment?

    But no, no. God be thanked: I’m not in court because I’m ‘on trial’. Tho’ in a way, whenever one represents a client, certainly the lawyer is also being tested…

    Muslims, ask of yourselves not what your self-serving sorcerer false prophet of Islam can do for you as you prove that you are worthy of the spiteful best of deceivers and unknowable Allah but ask what you can do for Allah and his creator sociopathic Muhammad the Serpent of Satan that slithers beneath all human decency.

    Well they seem to love their swords and they love hating, killing and suppressing others.

      Now Dave, you’re right. Let’s give credit where it’s due.

      They also love raping little girls and little boys. And having sex-slaves. Hmmm…what else…

      C’mon folks. Chime in here! Now that Dave’s got the ball rolling, we do want to be honest and admit the things Mu-Slimes ‘love’…

    “Love”: The Islamic State’s Source of Strength
    …………………………..

    Well, why the hell not? If waging violent Jihad against every non-Muslim on earth—as well as their “heretical” and “apostate” coreligionists—can constitute “peace”, then why can’t pressing women into sex slavery, committing genocide, stoning women to death in the streets, beheading journalists and aid workers, and cutting off baby’s heads constitutes “love”.

    Of course, the only “love” on display here is love of Islam—which necessitates a homicidal hatred of everything else on earth.

    Remember—Muslims use words differently than we do…

  18. Kathy Brown, Esq. says

    Oct 3, 2014 at 12:41 am

    Thanks for responding Islam Is.

    But honestly, even the most elemental love, that of a mother for her child? Even that’s trodden underfoot in this most disgusting of all ‘religions’. I mean: Mothers want their boys to DIE. So not only do these unnatural ‘people’ love horrible stuff; they fail to love what normal people can’t help but love, and love unswervingly…

    I’ll never get over that one. Never.

    And another thing-and this is doubtless a lawyerly pet peeve: But whassup with the Islamic penal code? I mean it’s a total throwback to Dickensian times, OK? Where EVERYTHING GETS YOU CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. You know: Pickpocket? You hang! Murder? You hang!

    Now the West reformed the penal code; but man alive! It’d be SO EASY to be a prosecutor in an Islamic state. You wouldn’t have to fool with Class A, B, C felonies and their respective sentences! IT’S ALL DEATH PENALTY SUCKER!

    It must be love, because the jihadists say in the name of Allah the merciful the benevolent, as they bring the blade down on the necks of the infidel.
