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

Al-Qaeda in Yemen urges more international jihad

Jan 10, 2015 11:56 pm By Robert Spencer

HyperCacher1They’re flushed with victory. They murdered twelve people who had insulted Muhammad, and got the Western media to agree voluntarily to refrain from insulting Muhammad and adopt Sharia blasphemy laws. And so now they will press on to their next victory.

“Al-Qaeda in Yemen urges more international jihad,” by Sarah El Deeb, Associated Press, January 10, 2015:

Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said it directed the attack against the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris “as revenge for the honor” of Prophet Mohammad.

The strike would be the Yemen-based branch’s first successful strike outside its home territory – and a triumph for its trademark double-strategy of waging jihad in Yemen to build its strength to strike abroad.

At least one of the two brothers involved in the attack on the weekly traveled to Yemen in 2011 and either received training from or fought alongside the group, authorities say. A U.S. intelligence assessment described to the Associated Press shows that 34-year-old Said Kouachi was trained in preparation to return home and carry out an attack.

Formed in 2009 as a merger between the terror group’s Yemeni and Saudi branches, AQAP has been blamed for a string of unsuccessful bomb plots against American targets.

These include a foiled plan to down a Detroit-bound airliner in 2009 using a new type of explosive hidden in the bomber’s underwear, and another attempt a year later to send mail bombs hidden in toner cartridges on planes bound to the U.S. from the Gulf.

The group’s lead bomb maker, Ibrahim al-Asiri, is believed to have created the explosives used in both foiled plots….

    Good morning Muzzies,

    It’s prayer time.
    Assume the ‘position’.
    Stare into your empty hands.
    Feel the vanity rush begin with an Islamic prayer.
    Stare into Islam’s emptiness. Nothing is there.
    This prayer is not meant to love or master hate.
    Islam’s vain emptiness wishes only to masturbate.
    It’s display time again at the mosque.
    Stare into Islam’s emptiness.
    Your soul is lost.

      Repeat the following heinous, hate-filled, supremacist prayer 17 times a day…every day:

      “Guide us on the straight path,
      the path of those who have received your grace;
      not the path of those who have brought down wrath (the Jews), nor of those who wander astray (the Christians).”

      After praying this prayer 17 times per day for several weeks, explain how it is not brainwashing.

    Is Yemen even considered an ally? Sooner or later the rope’s going to snap…

      Yemen cannot control its population and is a hide-out for Al Qaeda.

    I watched the French PM last night say “it has nothing to do with Islam, it is Jihad”

    Great stuff…

      Hollande is another cultural Marxist. He doesn’t realize that Sharia law is the basis of jihad. Sharia law is eternal and no Muslims can change it.

    Aren’t we sending some of the Gitmos back there? Let’s send Obama there too and then bomb the crap out of the place!

    One million Europeans marching in Paris will likely only encourage the Jihadists everywhere. Jihadists see the West as very weak. One million persons but with little or no common sense, still are weak. Without common sense, they cannot see that multiculticurism is a fantasy. All cultures are not equal. The Jihadists are well trained predators and they are a culture. A predator will always be attracted to the weak. It is unfortunate that there are so many in the West who are weak, have no common sense, and cannot see this for what it is. They are marching because they see something going awry with their Utopia but they don’t know what to do about it. Until they are ready to fight to the death against each and every Jihadist, there will be no resolution.

      I think the chief positive of 700,000 in the streets would be to let people who are concerned know that they are not alone. Maybe they’ll find strength in numbers.

      Hang in there, France – don’t let the politicians take away your wonderful country out of fear. Don’t let the jihadists get away with murder and still claim to be victims,

      Free speech as to Islam is an interesting issue, because as a politico-religious setup, if you can’t criticize Islam, the prohibition is to both politics and religion. Then the people are totally hamstrung to complain about Sharia(their future rule of law?) as well as the doctrine (such as it is) in Islam.

      You really can’t insult Mohammed’s ‘honor’. I believe it’s a true saying that “there is no honor among thieves”. No honor among slavers, rapists, child-marrying perverts, false prophets, and murderers, either. No prophet of God would behave like Mohammad. If God is like Allah, I’m out!

        I hope you are right.

    Oh yeah, strike while the iron is hot. The blood has barely cooled and they want more. And the media and pundits are (mostly) apologizing and wringing hands over the poor Muslims who “never get a break.”

    The West needs to wake up fast to what is happening as the number of muslims is growing rapidly every year. People think that as a lot of them are not violent they will never be able to take over but you only have to look at Afghanistan to see that is not true. It only takes a few dictators amongst them and the rest will just agree with everything they are told to do as they are to weak to stand up for themselves. Once these people get into government we are doomed if we do not start fighting back. Cameron thinks that because he stayed with a nice muslim family for a couple of days there is no threat from these people. How naïve can you be, and it is even worse as he is making decisions about our future based on that.
