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

Islamic jihadis murdered seven people every hour in November 2014

Dec 11, 2014 3:15 am By Robert Spencer

Car Bombing IraqThe victims were murdered by people who believed themselves to be acting in accord with the texts and teachings of Islam, at a time when Western leaders and mainstream media demand that everyone believe that this has nothing to do with Islam, and brands you a “bigot” and a “racist” if you dare think otherwise. This willful ignorance and complacency hinders our ability to deal with this problem realistically, which essentially ensures that we will one day look back on the carnage of November 2014 as the good old days when there was peace.

“Jihadist violence ‘killed 5,000 in November,'” BBC, December 11, 2014:

More than 5,000 people worldwide died in November as a result of jihadist violence, a BBC study has revealed.

The four worst-affected countries were Iraq, Nigeria, Afghanistan and Syria, accounting for 80% of all deaths.

The investigation – co-ordinated with the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) – recorded a total of 664 attacks in 14 countries.

It aims to quantify the human cost of jihadist violence in one month, and to offer a snapshot of a complex movement.

The investigation showed that nearly seven people died every hour in November as a result of violence attributed to al-Qaeda, its offshoots and groups that subscribe to a similar ideology.

The study recorded a daily average of 22 such attacks and 168 fatalities. Islamic State (IS) militants – operating in Iraq and Syria – were responsible for more than 2,000 deaths.

Of the 5,042 people killed in total, a majority – 2,079 – were civilians. Military personnel made up 1,723 deaths. Nearly 1,000 jihadis were reported killed during attacks.

Iraq was the single deadliest country, accounting for a third of all deaths and the highest number of attacks.

Nigeria was the second deadliest country, with Boko Haram blamed for the killings there.

Taliban violence made Afghanistan the third-deadliest country.

The report was conducted by the BBC World Service and ICSR, a non-profit non-governmental think tank based at Kings College, London….

    And DiFi worries about enema’s…Once upon a time, the US had common sense. That has now disappeared into the rabbit hole of leftist politics, and Islamic appeasements…Islam is a public health problem that should be treated like Ebola…Contain it, isolate it, squash it. Of course squashing it would be considered torture, so squashing is out of the question.

      Islam is a public health problem.

      That was the funniest thing I’ve read all day, and while still laughing about it I searched the web for “mental health public health”. Here’s the first hit:

      The Role of Public Health in Mental Health Promotion
      Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR),
      September 2, 2005 / 54(34);841-842
      http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5434a1.htm

      Mental illness contributes a substantial burden of disease worldwide. Globally, approximately 450 million [sic] persons suffer from mental disorders

      There’s no admission, however, that superstition, theism, Muhammadanism, etc. are mental disorders related to “Morbidity and Mortality”.

        Some researchers are looking for a link between inbreeding and Intermittent Explosive Personality Disorder which is normative in Islam. After 50 generations of inbreeding, we should expect there to be such personality disorders in the very inbred Muslim gene pool.

          Hello Mortimer ; in the Netherlands (where I live) a lot of research is done on mental disorders and one of the statistics coming out of that is that : about 7% of the male population of Moroccan and Turkish origin living in the Netherlands are suffering from schizophrenia . That’s a lot of people . The cause(s) ? : Ernie

    Not long now before “2016: Total Confrontation” in Al Qaeda’s plan, that will bring many many attacks on the West’s home ground.

    The BBC radio report about this thing called ‘jihad’, said that it had something to do with ideology.
    That is correct! The Left lean BBC has finally uncovered the (breaking news) that this may have something to do with IDEOLOGY,
    After reviewing the chart and statistics for any correlations, and performing further investigations and much hand wringing and consensus head nodding, BBC will likely come to the conclusion that this ideology could be none other than the ideology known by the name of ‘RADICALIZATION’

    On their news broadcast the tainted and compromised BBC limited their announcement of these findings to saying that more than 800 had been killed in Afghanistan, referring viewers to the website “for more information”. This is in the knowledge that many viewers will not be online. Shame on them.

    Thanks to all the Jihads, as a college student of the 60’s we believed in ZPG.

    Will BBC and rest of media now be able to move beyond this snapshot of Islamic jihad violence, and make clear the Islamic imperatives underlying such violence?

    • Michael Copeland says

      Dec 11, 2014 at 2:40 pm

      They can, but they don’t: they have an agenda of protecting Islam, and deflecting the reader’s attention away to some “-ism” or other that avoids mention of it.

    A conveyor belt of death.

    This Death Cult is Islam.

    “The investigation showed that nearly seven people died every hour in November as a result of violence attributed to al-Qaeda, its offshoots and groups that subscribe to a similar ideology.”

    This “ideology” has a name: JIHAD. It has a source: ISLAM.
    By practicing the political act of Jihad, Muhammad and his followers caused the death of about 270 million non-muslims.*

    *This rough estimate is based on the following references:

    -Thomas Sowell, Race and Culture, BasicBooks, 1994, p. 188
    -Woman’s Presbyterian Board of Missions, David Livingstone, p. 62, 1888

    If Christians did such a thing in the name of Christ, other Christians can easily point out that such actions are condemned in the New Testament. So why are other Muslims so silent? Because, as I read the Quran, it condones such violence. This is the dilemma: if one is a peaceful Muslim, one cannot speak out in fear of blasphemy–one has to omit a lot of the Quran!

    If there were this many persons killed by airplanes crashing in a single month, it would make front page news every where, panels would be formed, commissions would commission studies, and the air lines and the companies that make planes and the pilots that fly them would all be under microscopes and facing severe sanctions.
    islam gets a pass because…well, just because it’s islam.
    It is the beast and as a beast, it is protected. But, that, thankfully, will not last much longer.
