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

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Free World Under Siege

Jan 19, 2015 9:25 am By Robert Spencer

islam will dominateThe state of the union. Over at FP:

Twelve cartoonists are dead in Paris for violating Islam’s blasphemy law. Four Jews are dead for being among the people that the Qur’an claims are “the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers” (5:82). Muslims have recently attacked and killed police officers in New York City, Canada, and France. And Thursday, Muslims fired on police who were raiding their terror operations, and two of the jihadis were killed. Europe is under siege. As is the free world.

Murderous jihad attacks are coming more frequently than ever, and there is no reason to think they’re going to slow down. In a new Islamic State video, a jihadi declares: “I say to all French people who think that the Islamic State won’t arrive in Europe, with God’s help, we will arrive in Europe. We will expand across all of Europe, to France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and also the USA. I say to all my brothers that cannot immigrate and join the Islamic caliphate, try to resist with all means, kill them, slaughter them, burn their cars and homes. I say to my brothers, if you see a police officer—kill him. Kill them all. Kill all infidels that you see in the streets.”

Regarding Belgium in particular, “three Islamic State militants threatened attacks on Belgium in a video broadcast on Wednesday, the Belga news agency reported.” And the next day jihadis carried through on their threats. “I heard a sort of explosion, followed by several gunshots,” said a witness. Another added that “machine guns were firing for about 10 minutes.” A third said he saw two North African men “dressed all in black carrying a bag of the same color.” Still another said: “I heard two explosions. I left, then I saw two young people run — Arab types between 25 and 30 — who hurtled down in the dark with woolly hats on their heads.”

Said Thierry Werts of the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office: “This operational cell of about ten people, some of whom had returned from Syria, was on the point of launching significant terrorist attacks in Belgium. During the search, certain suspects immediately opened fire at special forces of the police with automatic weapons. They opened fire for several minutes. Two suspects were killed and a third was arrested.” He added that “even after one of the suspects was lying on the ground injured, he continued to fire.”

They were, in other words, what Western authorities have shown no indication of being: determined and tenacious, even to the point of death. In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo jihad murders, there have been very few Western media outlets with the courage to stand up to the jihadis’ violent Sharia intimidation and demonstrate their commitment to defending the freedom of speech by republishing the Muhammad cartoons. Instead, most have given the jihadis exactly what they killed for: submission to Islamic laws forbidding criticism of Muhammad.

This submission heralds the death of free society. Once an idea – any idea — is established as beyond criticism, its adherents are free to exert their will on the larger population unchallenged. If that idea is Islam, it involves the imperative to kill or subjugate unbelievers that jihadis worldwide are acting upon. The shared objective of groups like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and of jihadis who kill cartoonists is to intimidate the West into criminalizing criticism of Islam, which will hinder or obliterate altogether the ability of Western officials to understand the motives and goals  of the jihadis. Then the jihad can proceed unopposed.

That’s why it isn’t just ill-judged, it is nothing short of disastrous that so many Western media outlets declined to reprint the cartoons, and that so many Western leaders have made statements assuring us that they believe in free expression, but of course within proper limits, and one should not offend people’s religious sensibilities. The free world is under siege. And its appointed guardians are swinging wide the gates.

    The most dangerous statement in Islam is the following:

    “There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593

    Sharia permits the murder of anyone who verbally opposes Islam, since they are at war with Islam and authorizes EVERY Muslim to be a vigilante executioner. That is the most serious problem with Islam.

    • Michael Copeland says

      Jan 19, 2015 at 10:30 am

      Indeed. Add to that that the same penalty-free vigilante style murder is instructed to happen to anyone leaving Islam (who thereby makes himself a kafir) because death is the penalty for leaving.
      Why is this criminally murderous ideology accorded the status of religion in the West, complete with tax advantages? This is a glaring injustice.

    kaffirs are completely free to express their thoughts, provided they are Sharia compliant and do not upset their Muslim masters.

    • Jay Boo says

      Jan 19, 2015 at 10:56 am

      Some kaffirs convert to Islam because Islam is irresistible to murderers, pedophiles, and thieves.

      • Jaladhi says

        Jan 19, 2015 at 11:16 am

        Exactly!! Islam promises to forgive their previous crimes as kafirs and then asks them to commit the same crimes which are not crimes in Islam!! What a weird circular logic these morons use!!

      • Shane says

        Prisons are great recruiting places for the religion of jihad, as there are so many murderers, rapists, and pedophiles in prison. Islam gives men the right to rape and kill in the name of Allah, and men can marry and have sex with children, as Muhammad did.

    The Call to Islamic Victory Prayer

    It seems that before the victims of Paris were even buried that Muslim students were insisting that a call to prayer be allowed from Duke University Chapel. At first, it was granted but quickly rescinded and now the Dean of Duke wishes to have a ‘dialog’ with the Muslims students full of their Islamic entitlement to discuss the issue.

    Will Duke Muslim students be allowed to proselytize Islam from a chapel at Duke with their celebratory Victory Prayer?
    Will Muslims dance in the blood of the victims in Paris, France?

  4. Holy Prophet APF says

    Jan 19, 2015 at 11:48 am

    (Jews are) the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers.

    The state of the union is bad. Happily, there is more talk of the Islam on the TV now than any time since 9/11, and much more of the talk questions Prez Dubya’s famous lie that Islam is a religion of peace hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists blah blah blaaah.

    But two things are rock solid steady, reliable in their persitence.

    1) The Holy Ko-Ran itself is filled with lies. The Jews in Yathrib rescued a destitute Holy Prophet Mohammed and his Companions, who were broke and hungry when they rolled into town after having been evicted from Mecca. To me, giving a group free food and shelter is not animosity.

    2) The news entertainment industry, from TV to newspapers to classrooms, is stalwart in its disinterest in the actual contents of the Holy Ko-Ran, which they fallaciously insist are not a problem, and are even admirable.

    So reporting on the contents is not done, probably for lack of time necessary for such detail in this age of 24/7 news entertainment.

    Here’s a simple time efficient question that Sean or Bill or Greta over at Fox RINO should ask:

    Name all religions that in their scriptures declare war on other religions. Hint: there is only one.

      The Jews in Yathrib rescued a destitute Holy Prophet Mohammed and his Companions, who were broke and hungry when they rolled into town after having been evicted from Mecca.
      Muslims continue to follow the example of their “prophet” Mohammed ( PSUH) and bite the hands that feed, house and clothe them all over the Western Christian world.

    Another vehichle attack in Scotland

    Five people, including four Army personnel, have been injured after a car ploughed into a group of pedestrians in a Highland village.

    The collision happened in Ardersier, near Inverness, at around 9.20am on Monday.

    An air ambulance was dispatched to the village’s High Street, which carried one pedestrian to Raigmore Hospital by air. The others were transported by road ambulance.

    None of the victims, who are believed to include four personnel from nearby Fort George, are believed to have suffered life-threatening injuries.

    I wonder if the name of the driver will be witheld forever, as in th Glasgow bin lorry “incident”

      The driver in the Glasgow incident has been named — Harry Clarke.

    Mosque-a jihadist recruiting center-a Trojan Horse filled with Manchurian Candidates. All just waiting for the signal to strike terror in the heart of the free world-with cars, and knives, and axes, and guns, and bombs-and raping, and pillaging, and beheading, and murderous genocide.

    But please whatever you do, Do not look at mosques-do not “spy” on them, do not profile muslims, do not offend them! What a load of politically correct Crap!!

    “Freedom go to Hell – Islam is the Answer”
    +
    “Slaughter the Infidels”

    Slogans can be scary as well as ridiculous. This would qualify as true hate-speech.

    Many, (tho not all) Muslims are zombies just waiting for their marching orders.

    Excellent article published on site of leading French daily Le Monde today, by a young atheist in Paris who is a refugee from Palestine, where he was imprisoned for criticising Islam. He says a major debate needs to take place about how the Koran, especially the Medina verses, incites the kind of violence we have just seen in France. He says Muslims must undertake a profound reform of their faith. It’s by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walid_Husayin who has also started a “council of ex-Muslims of France”. I’d recommend liking their facebook!
