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

Islamic State: Shopkeepers must cut wifi during prayer times

Dec 12, 2014 1:25 pm By Robert Spencer

Egypt_Internet_CafeThe Islamic State, as is common for Islamic supremacists, is here enforcing piety at the point of a sword — which means that the result is not real piety and real virtue, but an empire of fear that will collapse as soon as the sword-point can somehow be evaded.

“Islamic State orders wifi cut during prayers: Syria monitor,” Reuters, December 11, 2014 (thanks to Block Ness):

BEIRUT (Reuters) – Islamic State militants have ordered shopkeepers to shut down their wireless Internet during prayer times in the eastern Syrian city of Deir al-Zor, a group monitoring the Syrian conflict said on Thursday….

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights cited an Islamic State document obtained by activists which said: “All shopkeepers must stop broadcasting wireless Internet during prayer times.” Muslim prayers are performed five times a day.

The document was issued by the self-declared authorities of Islamic State in the city that control public behavior, according to the Observatory, which tracks the war using a network of sources on the ground.

Islamic State controls most of Deir al-Zor province as well as Raqqa province to the northwest. In Raqqa it has outlawed music and images of people being posted in public and runs nearly everything from bakeries to schools, courts and mosques….

    The only thing that astonishes me is that they haven’t shut down completely. Must be because the people need to see those beheading videos …

    And if that is a photo of Deir al-Zor, what a sh*t hole. Isn’t islam wonderful !

      And Shut Down the Power Stations 5 times a day ?
      Isn’t Islam Wonderful !

      No shortage of similar shitholes in London, Birmingham and Manchester these days, Mirren. Must make the Muslims feel like they never left home—————

    Most Muslims will find everything to do with ISIS a total humiliation…because it exposes to the world the depraved absurdity of Islam.

    ISIS is the biggest wet dream of Muslims come true to haunt them.

    With 5 prayer sessions a day, what are the chances that any resident will ever be able to complete an uninterrupted download of the next Windows service pack??

    These IS zealots are so bent on complete control it would be laughable, but for all the atrocities.

    Five times a day doing anything is a lot. That’s a clue to the obsessive compulsions that are such an important part of Islamism. Prostrating oneself, on one’s knees, facing in one particular direction, endlessly repetition of how much greater their imaginary friend is over any other imaginary friend. The ritualistic ablutions, the theme of cleanliness and purity (despite all the hating and the rather messy beheading conducted intra-prayertime). The fear that any slacking from the rigid 5x a day schedule and complicated rules connotes unbeliever status… (and you know what that means).

    It strikes me as a serious effort to not think of anything else each day but Allah.

    Its also a rich description of what we in the West call classic Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD.

    Sometimes known colloquially as batshit crazy.

    What really happens during the Adhan (Islamic prayer time.)

    Narrated Abu Huraira:
    Allah’s Apostle said, “When the Adhan is pronounced Satan takes to his heels and passes wind with noise during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan.” (Bukhari 1.11.582)

    MUSLIMS, keep your heads down. The world has read your books and history. What a shame to be a Muslim!

    “in a complete void like we have gone back to the dark ages…
    there is no clean water, gas or fuel to cook our food.
    How can we continue living under this caliphate?”
