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

Islamic State: We will set up caliphate in Sinai, “first step towards the invasion of Jerusalem”

Nov 4, 2014 10:19 am By Robert Spencer

IslamicStatejihadis2If the mainstream narrative about the war against Israel were true, the Islamic State would have no interest in entering Jerusalem. The Islamic State knows what Barack Obama, John Kerry, Ban Ki-moon, and political leaders all over the West do not know, or pretend not to know: that the “Palestinian” war against Israel is a jihad. It is not about land. It is not about “settlements.” It is not about “occupation.” It is an act of obedience to the command to “drive them out from where they drove you out” (Qur’an 2:191) — the Qur’anic basis for the idea that any land that once was ruled by Muslims belongs by right to Islam forever.

Good questions from Pamela Geller: “Did the Israelis ‘steal the land’ belonging to the Islamic State? Is Israel ‘occupying’ the Islamic State? Is the Israeli government allowing Jews to build ‘settlements’ on land belonging to the Islamic State? Will the UN condemn Israel for oppressing the Islamic State and acting ‘disproportionately’ against it if it takes out any base the Islamic State establishes in Sinai?”

“ISIS ‘to set up Islamic Caliphate in Sinai,'” ANSAmed, November 3, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

(ANSAmed) – CAIRO, NOVEMBER 3 – The Islamic State (ISIS) has issued a statement saying that an Islamic Caliphate will be established in the Sinai, calling it the ”first step towards the invasion of Jerusalem”. The statement threatens Egyptian security forces, which were suffered an attack on October 24. ISIS urged jihadists in the region to ”destroy police checkpoints and stations, launch RPGs at their gatherings and show the world that the Rule of God must be imposed”.

    You have to ask yourself “do they mean what they say”? Is anyone in doubt ?

      The Morsi (Muslim Brotherhood) government filled Sinai with terrorists and gave them instant Egyptian passports.

      ISIS is the Muslim Brotherhood. They want to continue the program of filling Sinai with terrorists stopped by President Sisi.

        Alex you know nothing. IS does have the money and man power. The only hope is that Sisi will be ruthless.

    The Islamic State: transnational, pan-Islamic, and eternally expansionist.

    Israel has a ‘license’ from the United Nations, NATO and the main Great Powers to operate a democratic state between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.

    No Islamic doctrine can overthrow that right guaranteed by those political bodies.

    Israel is a political creation as are all modern states.

    The Palestinian Authority is a body based on theocratic fascism, rather than a modern democratic body based on rational thought and pluralism.

    The flag of ‘Palestine’ is the same as the flag of Jordan minus a star. Coincidence?

    First let’s clear up a common misperception reinforced by the groveling media.

    Jerusalem is NOT the third most sacred place of Sunni Islam.
    Let me repeat that again,
    “Jerusalem is not the third most sacred place of Sunni Islam”

    Muhammad murdered the Jews of Medina and turned his back on Jerusalem.
    The claim that Muhammad ascended to heaven in Jerusalem is just a pathetic attempt by his followers to invite themselves and their false prophet under the same roof of the book the they shamelessly corrupted.

    “Jerusalem is not the third most sacred place of Sunni Islam”
    If a dog pisses on your doorstep does that mean it owns your house????

    Yet Muslims lacking any shame still play their sordid game:
    http://www.islamic-awareness.org/History/Islam/Dome_Of_The_Rock/

    • mortimer says

      Nov 4, 2014 at 11:34 am

      Caliph Abd al Malik built the Dome of the Rock in AD 691–692 to become the center of his brand new Islamic state religion.

      Jerusalem was to be the home of the new religion, since it was obviously the site of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac on Mount Moriah and the site of the crucifixion. The caliph hoped to express the replacement of those two faiths with his brand new religion. The Arabs were used to going to Petra to the temple of Dhu Shara and didn’t buy into this innovation. The Dome of the Rock is practically irrelevant to Islam. As a result, a later caliph had to invent the cult of Mohammed in Mecca in a deserted place so far removed from anything that it would not affect the Holy Arab Empire in Damascus or Baghdad. The ploy worked and the qiblas (direction of prayer) prove this hoax because they do not face Mecca until AD 740…forty-nine years after the Dome of the Rock.

      Islam’s creation by Abd al Malik and others prove definitively that it is an elaborate hoax.

      “Abrahamic Religion” is another lie concocted by the followers of this Satanic religion to gain acceptability. No way can they trace decent from Abraham and Ishmael as the Jews can from Abraham and Isaac…2600 years of no written history from Abraham to Muhammad….just a false claim.

  5. mortimer says

    Nov 4, 2014 at 11:25 am

    ISIS realizes that MOST Muslims have a tremendous Jew hatred and that this form of genocidal rage against Israel will be very attractive to MOST Muslims and bring support for ISIS’s cause.

    ISIS is playing the ‘racist’ card, Mr. Affleck. Are you going to accuse ISIS of ‘racism’, Mr. Affleck?

    If we ( U.S.) ever allow a jew to be president it will be the end of the world. A jew president will give israel the green light for a war against Iran which will cause israel to use weapons of mass destruction. This will cause Mr. Putin to shoot back and then paul the president will target Mr. Putins russia and there you have it. Vote the end for the followers of the evil talmud

    • Jax Tolmen says

      What is wrong with you?
      Israel has abstained from using their arsenal of nuclear weapons up to this point – what makes you think they would need or consider using such weapons when the inevitable conflict with Iran begins?
      Israel has one of the most advanced and battle hardened militaries in the world – and certainly far more capable than anything else in the Middle East. They would smash Iran in any conventional engagement.
      The only scenario where Israel would use nuclear weapons is as a pre emptive strike against a nuclear armed Iran. Since the conflict would be started BEFORE that happens, there is no need for the usage of such weapons when they can annihilate Iran with the strength of their armed forces.

    Obviously this is no surprise, as it is simply following the Islamic blueprints of perpetual Islamic expansion and reclaiming of any and all former Islamic territories.

    Robert Spencer wrote a book on the shadowy, questionable origins and entire hoax that is Islam, that centres around a non-existent “prophet” Mohammad. Frankly, to me and anybody with a brain, it was all created to unify the expanding Arab empire under one ruling system which couldn’t be ruled properly with a half-dozen different religions and their own legal systems.

    And it’s not a surprise that their starting point deity was the moon god Ba’al disguised by the arab rulers, and they rewrote a bunch of Bible stories to “legitamize” their “holy book”. WIthout question, their scholar advisors merely had to look to Constantine for an example. What they did was much like Constantine whose scholars pieced together the Bible and imposed the state religion of Christianity to maintain homogeny and order over the vast Roman empire he inherited — without the massive military and financial might of his forebearers. However, unlike Constantine’s invention, Islam is extremely violent and oppressive, corrupt and brutish — reflecting the moral and ethical views of the arab warlords who created it.

      You claim – “Constantine whose scholars pieced together the Bible and imposed the state religion of Christianity to maintain homogeny and order over the vast Roman empire he inherited — without the massive military and financial might of his forebearers. However, unlike Constantine’s invention..”.

      Constantine did NOT “invent” Christianity.

      So-called ‘great church’ Christianity existed – with its canonical texts, exactly as in the New Testament you can buy from the bookshop – **three centuries** before Constantine, with its basic doctrines and practices already firmly in place.

      Christianity was NOT invented out of whole cloth as an act of historical fiction.

      Anyone who thinks that has never bothered to look at full textual history of the New Testament canon (whose exemplars *pre-date* Constantine, substantially; I’m not talking mere decades, either); nor has asked themselves the question about the existence – pre-Cosntantine – of completely recognisable Christian communities **outside of** the Roman Empire. Ethiopia. Armenia.

      Read David Bentley Hart, “Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies”, and also read Gerald Bray, “Creeds, Councils, and Christ”.

      And get a clue, please.

      I have HAD it with the airy assertions that Constantine “invented” Christianity.

      NOT TRUE. Not historically true. Not even *close*.

      Ever heard of Clement of Alexandria? Died circa 215 AD. BEFORE Constantine.

      His works include citations from all the main canonical texts of the New Testament as we have it today.

      • TruthWFree says

        Nov 5, 2014 at 10:45 pm

        Good comment. No doubt Don McKellar is an atheist with the “all religions are bad” complex. Malichi Martin wrote a book called the Fall of the Roman Church which blamed Constantine for the beginning of the secular demise of the Christian (Catholic/Universal) Church due to the Popes then having secular power. Before that, Christianity was heavily persecuted by the Romans from time to time during the first 300 years after Christ .

    How the land came under the rule of Muslims? During Islamic Conquest, the land was invaded and occupied. In the same way. Might is Right was the formula. Those who are mightier can take the land from the once Invaders.

    “..an Islamic Caliphate will be established in the Sinai..”

    Bring it on, bunch of cowards!
    If there is one man on this planet really serious about destroying these vermins, it would be Al Sisi, backed by 90 million Egyptians.
    As I’ve said before, ISIS is trying to do what the Muslim Brotherhood failed to do: ruling Egypt. It will never happen.
    The only way for the MB (ISIS) to win is for Obama to openly and publicly fight on their side.

    The Muslim Brotherhood = ISIS = Hamas = Al Nusra = Boko Haram = Obama.

    • Myxlplik says

      Nov 5, 2014 at 8:29 am

      Did you see that store room full of anti tank missiles Obama gave ISIS? It looked like a thousand boxes or so to me, now I don’t know exactly how many tanks Egypt and Israel has, but Obama essentially leveled the playing field for ISIS against any mechanized engagement. Seems like open support to me, because I don’t believe it wasn’t on purpose, they can’t be that stupid. I think the US government is essentially being lead by Brotherhood advisors, it’s pretty open.

    go ahead; between Israel and Egypt;; you will be annihilated… but then this is what they want.. a cauldron of hellish slaughter which will draw in millions of jihadists..get out the RAID… draw them into a specific are.. and fry them.

    Nov 4, 2014 at 2:53 pm

    Ezekiel 38-39 will be fulfilled. Gog…satan the devil…certainly is getting his hordes ready for that battle. Although these isis murderers seem to relish having a part, little do they realize what the final outcome will be.

  12. Myxlplik says

    Nov 4, 2014 at 3:53 pm

    I’m sure this is what that recent shipment of anti-tank missiles, which Obnazi sent ISIS is meant for. The left can’t wait for Israeli women to be sold off as sex slaves to the Mujahadin, like the Yazidi.

    • umbra says

      Nov 4, 2014 at 5:48 pm

      Unlike yazidi women, most adult Israeli women are combat trained and quite likely armed (and well supported). They will confront and kill jihadists on sight.
