“Infidel Huthis should know that the soldiers of the Islamic State will not rest until they eradicate them… and cut off the arm of the Safavid (Iranian) plan in Yemen.” Is a large-scale Sunni-Shi’ite jihad all across the region looming?
An update on this story. “142 dead in Yemen mosque bombings claimed by IS,” AFP, March 20, 2015:
SANAA: Suicide bombings claimed by the Islamic State group killed at least 142 people Friday at mosques in the Yemeni capital, in an attack targeting Shia worshippers including Huthi militiamen.
The multiple blasts were among the deadliest attacks yet in Yemen, which is grappling with growing instability and divisions along sectarian lines.
They came a day after clashes between forces loyal to President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi and those allied with the Huthi Shia militia in the southern city of Aden, where the leader fled last month.
The suicide bombers targeted two mosques attended by Huthis, who have seized the capital Sanaa.
One struck inside Badr mosque in southern Sanaa while another targeted worshippers as they fled outside, witnesses said.
A third suicide bomber targeted Al Hashush mosque in northern Sanaa.
Nashwan al Atab, a member of the health ministry’s operations committee, told AFP that 142 people were killed and at least 351 were wounded.
The Huthi militia’s Al Massira television said hospitals in the capital had made urgent appeals for blood donations.
The imam of the Badr mosque was among the dead, a medical source said.
Footage aired by Al Massira showed bodies lying in pools of blood outside the mosques, as worshippers rushed the wounded to hospitals in pick-up trucks.
Another suicide bomber blew himself up outside a mosque in the northern Huthi stronghold of Saada, a source close to the militia said.
Only the assailant was killed in that explosion, and tight security at the mosque prevented the bomber from going inside, the source added.
In an online statement, the previously unknown Sanaa branch of IS claimed the bombings and said they were “just the tip of the iceberg”.
“Infidel Huthis should know that the soldiers of the Islamic State will not rest until they eradicate them… and cut off the arm of the Safavid (Iranian) plan in Yemen,” the statement said.
The Huthis are accused of receiving support from Iran.
IS, a radical Sunni Muslim organisation, considers Shias to be heretics.
It is the first time IS has claimed any attack in Yemen where al Qaeda remains the most prominent extremist group.
The Huthis overran Sanaa in September and have since tightened their grip on power….
Jay Boo says
Muslims must know. Islam is nothing but an excuse.
Followers of Islam might be brutalized in the most horrendous manner in the name of Allah to the point that they want to kill all of their despicable neighbors and local imam as well.
But the Qur’an has words that say a Muslim so brutalized must not kill a fellow Muslim.
Allah says so.
Those who are persecuting other Muslims in the name of Allah might decide to kill the one they are assaulting and their families in Allah’s name.
Islam condones killing to spread Islam.
Allah says so.
Islamic prayers are like chickens. They always come home to roost.
The Doctor says
Actually, they are consistent in their beliefs that Muslims must not kill fellow Muslims. They simply declare the ones with whom they disagree to be apostates or infidels so that the newly-declared apostates are now legal targets.
Shane says
That’s right. ISIS declares them to be blasphemers and they get the death penalty, as Muhammad used to do to blasphemers. If Muslims weren’t so busy killing each other, they would have conquered the world by now. Certainly, the liberals in the West will not fight Islamic jihad, unless the jihad is attacking them directly.
mortimer says
Allah seems to answer the prayer that Muslims kill their enemies. The greatest enemies they have are the opposing sects of Islam.
If nothing else causes Muslims to leave Islam, surely these sectarian killings will.
AJ Liberphile says
but if they leave pislam then they will be killed as apostates. ERG ERG ERG. Recursive death loop. Self-destruct initiated. BANG!

Unfortunately, Mortimer, Muslims have been slaughtering “other sect” Muslims for almost 1400 years now, and few have left Islam because of it. Instead, they just continue the bloody cycle of violence, against both their “heretic” coreligionists and against the “filthy” Infidel.
Spot On says
Jay Boo, When people have disregard for the truth, anything goes. If looking for truth, the last place to look is in the ME, home of Islam.
Jay Boo says
Yes, that is correct, Spot On
But, eventually Muslims will find the truth — or it will find them.
All we need do is look who crawled out of the desert darkness with the blood of thousands on his hands,
He dared to call himself a prophet.
Muslims would not need to constantly demand that Muhammad be treated with respect if Muhammad was at least deserving enough to have been a decent human being.
Demsci says
Justin, you treat the Muslims, who you know are not innocent, BUT the ones doing the killing of Christians and the oppression
as if hey were”children, or even apes” who have no choice, no responsibilities, no capabilites of change. That is your racism of lowered expectation of Muslimsand elevated expectation of Westerners, who are not innocent either, but not killing any Christians, and who are victims, cunningly duped by the Muslims, who promise them democracy and help, then betray them
Your are thus racist or you yourself are a cunningly deceiving Muslim. But anyway, your credibility here now is approaching zero.
The Doctor says
This reminds me of the war fought by the Cat people in “Red Dwarf” over the colour of the hats that they would wear in their version of paradise.
http://reddwarf.wikia.com/wiki/Cloister_the_Stupid
The differences between these various sects of Islam are about as significant.
(It is especially applicable because the cats fought over whether the hats were red or blue. Lister indented them to be green, thus neither side was right.)
Moshe Akiva says
Very good. As long as the savages murder each other they don’t have time for us.
Oliver says
Moshe, I agree.
In my view, better 142 dead Muslims in Yemen ( and also Pakistan, Afghanistan; Iraq; Iran & Syria, to name a few) then one murdered Jew in France or Belgium, or the US, Canada or Israel.
abad says
Exactly. Better if all Muslims kill off each other in the name of Allah rather than kill non-Muslims
Demsci says
Moshe, I agree too. It seems they somehow have fighting in their system, so let them fight each other, if they must. This is not our (West) war.
What is it that we Westerners want to ask Muslims? Me:
– Isn’t your goal Worldconquest for Islam?
– What is it worth if you win a few territories if you cannot remotely win all the world?
– What IF you defeat and conquer the West? Will that not only put you up against China, Russia, Brazil, Argentina and many other nations?
– Do you perhaps calculate that you have time on your side and so only should fight and have patience waiting for Allah to grant you victory, and not some crumbs either, but total victory? even with the superfast development of Artificial Intelligence and other game-changing technologies?
– Are you even sure Allah wants the Muslims to conquer the world? Considering how the conquest is progressing, or not?
Oooohhh, when are the smart Muslims finally to figure out that:
– They stand almost no chance to reach their real only worthwhile goal; world-domination?
– And that on top of that, what chances they have, they are not increasing with time and patience, but diminishing quickly?
– The West is only the most tolerant, reasonable enemy they have, even their protector and benefactor? Within the West the Muslims have countless friends, but with the West gone, they will have to face much more ruthless enemies; China and Russia?
– The Muslims cannot eradicate all mankind in one apocalypse, not even with nuclear weapons, so that they can commit suicide, but Islam will be heavily damaged but mankind will not be exterminated?
Yes, Muslims, we know you want world-domination, don’t deny THAT. But really, what chance do you have? And what good is the occasional victory if total victory is unrealistic?
Why don’t you give it up and try to co-exist, make peace with Israel and the West and do something moe constructive with your energy, resources and the astonishing new technologies.
Think about what you are doing to your children!
mortimer says
ISIS seems to be intent on making the entire world their enemies. It is them most complete form of suicide ever seen before.

To paraphrase a classic Twilight Zone ending:

Hey, Obama said Yemen was a success story. Unless he thinks Muslims committing genocide on their own religion is a success.
Just another middle east country spirilling out of control and into kaos.
And what about that 500 million dollars in arms they ‘can’t find’ in Yemen. That won’t come back to bite us, will it?
I pray for the innocent souls who died there today.

Don McKellar says
“Is a large-scale Sunni-Shi’ite jihad all across the region looming?”
Frankly, I am all for it. But ONLY if the advanced, non-moslem, modern countries stay completely out of it — except to sell arms to both sides for top dollar.
The bubbling cauldron of Islamic sewage that is the Middle East coming to a frothy boil would be a good thing for the rest of the world — as then they’d have to turn their oil money towards slaughtering each other rather than spreading the black tentacles of evil around the globe. Just create a virtual wall around them as best we can, and let them go at it!
AJ Liberphile says
Don, right on, but we must be absolutely fair and non-discriminatory to minorities. We must sell lethal arms ONLY to the losing side and ONLY with GPS locks so that they only work within a diminishing area of Muslim influence. That’s only fair.
AJ Liberphile says
So is that 10,224 virgins? Where do all the virgins come from?
It was definately Carlsberg.
Oliver says
RE: Where do all the virgins come from. I once ( this goes back a few decades — long before all this jihad stuff) asked a friend of the family, when i read about the 72 virgins. (I think i was 15 or 16 or so).
he said, they take the used women, and send them, in turn (or a % to each-don’t quite remember exactly) to the US & BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, to be recycled.
I thought as good an answer as any.
gravenimage says
Seriously, AJ and Oliver, I have never gotten a straight answer as to where these “Houris” come from. Are they human women who want to be abused by “Mujahideen” for eternity? Are they non-human, and just created specially for each Jihadist as he hits “Jannah”?
I believe the reason I’ve never gotten a straight answer is that Mohammedans don’t particularly care where their eternal sex slaves comes from. Why would they? It’s not as though they much care about women and girls here on earth, except for keeping them in line through intimidation and violence.
Oliver says
Graven–
One story (for want of a better word) that i heard about the virgins has to do with THE ASSASSINS. These were a violent group of criminals (in-i believe what is now Iran, but could have been Arabia), who specialized in smoking dope (hashish); and robbing caravans.
To recruit, they used (as Saddam Hussein and other tyrants have done) gone (or sent their emissaries) to poor villages,m and offered money for parents to sell their sons..
They took boys in or approaching puberty; trained them. now boys in puberty have frequent erections.
then, when the boys were ready to go out, they gave them a lavish meal, laced 9in the food) hashish; and wine to drink.
When the boys were 9 modern term) stoned, they brought them to prostitutes, to sexually entertain the boys 9not sure if blow jobs and screwing or just screwing(-their have been discovered in Europe-i believe France- cave drawings supposed to be 1,000+ years old, showing women sucking guys off) (off topic, I know); .
When the boys recovered from (came down from the stoned-modern term- state, they were asked how they liked the meal.
They told the story of sex and wine.
The ‘teachers” ( cannot think of a better term) told them that their dream was a glimpse of heaven. That if they died fighting the good fight (and robbing caravans, etc) they will go to heaven, get 72 virgins; and all the wine that they can drink.
I read this a few years ago, not sure where.
but, using puberty/adolescent age boys and giving them sex- can see the result- would want to repeat the ecstasy of their dream, and, being illiterate-even by the standards of the day, could see why they would have little value for their life. Was pretty bad, anyhow. Now, at least, their families had some money.

“worshippers rushed the wounded to hospitals in pick-up trucks.”
I thought hospitals and Western medicine were kufr?

Trucks are also kufr, don’t forget.
john spielman says
YEP no doubt about it, muslims LOVE DEATH more than we love life!
Bezelel says
Which side gets to claim martyrdom? Does that mean something else to be settled by killing? Endless loop.
Wellington says
I feel nothing about this. Castigate me if you will, but Muslims killing Muslims no longer registers with me other than how it might (and it hardly will in this case) affect the non-Muslim world.
Oliver says
Wellington, You might be a bit off.
how this might affect the Non-Muslim world.
Just think 150 or more ( possibly 500 range- with the 350+ injured-last numbers i saw) LESS POTENTIAL TERRORISTS.
And, if dead, cannot reproduce.
So, the world is a little bit safer.
Bezelel says
Only a billion plus more to go. Minus sincere apostates of course.
John says
Al Baghdadi has massive scope for recruiting from Al Qeda. Its safe to assume any nation with Al Qeda in its mist will soon find itself confronting the horrors of ISIS.
Look out Eygpt its coming your way sooner rather than later I suspect. You guys have the mother load of Muslim Brotherhood supporters.
God help the poor Copts, they are facing genocide if things turn ugly.
Unfortunately for the Copts this seems likely the case at present. There are 200,000 Coptic Christian workers trapped in Libya, 21 have been beheaded trying to leave already and many others have disappeared trying to escape.
Its worth considering the motivation of ISIS to block the escape of all of these hardworking non Muslims.
Their chief motivation is obviously wholesale ethnic genocide. A genocide they wish to perform the world over, upon all that will not bow the knee to their bloodthirsty credo.
Agent of Liberty says
Complete human madness! The bottom line is the koran and it’s author Mohummy! It all starts with the words on paper in the koran. You have to eliminate the source where this violence comes from. It will never happen though, so more humans have to die. Mr. President can you please explain where all the violence comes from?

“Islamic State claims suicide attacks in Sana’a mosques”
[Excerpt]:-
“The suicide assault, or coordinated attack using one or more suicide bombers and an assault team, is a tactic frequently used by jihadist groups, including the Islamic State, its rival, al Qaeda, and al Qaeda allies such as the Afghan Taliban, the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. Suicide assaults are commonly executed by jihadist groups in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Nigeria.”

Oliver says
It is the first time IS has claimed any attack in Yemen where al Qaeda remains the most prominent extremist group.
Why that phraseology?
Why not call these groups what they are?
TERRORISTS.

Islamic State claims Yemen mosque bombings, death toll now 142
……………………………
This is what the “Peace of Islam” looks like, once a place—like Yemen, Afghanistan, or Somalia—becomes 100% Islamic. The pious Muslims just turn on each other in a frenzy of bloodletting.
God, I hate Islam.

SECT MUSLIM-MUSLIM RELATIONSHIP
49:9. And if two parties or groups among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both, but if one of them rebels against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that which rebels till it complies with the Command of Allâh; then if it complies, then make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allâh loves those who are equitable.
49: 10. The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islâmic religion). So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allâh, that you may receive mercy.
49: 11. O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it, to insult one’s brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: “O sinner”, or “O wicked”, etc.]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.).
6: 159. Verily, those who divide their religion and break up into sects (all kinds of religious sects), you (O Muhammad SAW) have no concern in them in the least. Their affair is only with Allâh, Who then will tell them what they used to do.
30: 32. Of those who split up their religion (i.e. who left the true Islâmic Monotheism), and became sects, [i.e. they invented new things in the religion (Bid’ah), and followed their vain desires], each sect rejoicing in that which is with it.
43: 65. But the sects from among themselves differed. So woe to those who do wrong (by ascribing things to ‘Isa (Jesus) that are not true) from the torment of a painful Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)!
3: 103. And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allâh (i.e. this Qur’ân), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allâh’s Favor on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islâmic Faith), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allâh makes His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.,) clear to you, that you may be guided.
3: 104. Let their arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islâm), enjoining Al-Ma’rûf and forbidding Al-Munkar. And it is they who are the successful.
3: 105. And be not as those who divided and differed among themselves after the clear proofs had come to them. It is they for whom there is an awful torment.
4:92. It is not for a believer to kill a believer except (that it be) by mistake, and whosoever kills a believer by mistake, (it is ordained that) he must set free a believing slave and a compensation (blood money, i.e Diya) be given to the deceased’s family, unless they remit it. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you and he was a believer; the freeing of a believing slave (is prescribed), and if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, compensation (blood money – Diya) must be paid to his family, and a believing slave must be freed. And whoso finds this (the penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two consecutive months in order to seek repentance from Allâh. And Allâh is Ever All-knowing, All Wise
9:71. The believers, men and women, are Auliyâ’ (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma’rûf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islâm has forbidden); they perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât) and give the Zakât, and obey Allâh and His Messenger. Allâh will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
4:93. And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of Allâh are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him.
5: 32. Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allâh by committing the major sins) in the land!.
42: 14. And they divided not till after knowledge had come to them, through selfish transgression between themselves. And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord for an appointed term, the matter would have been settled between them. And verily, those who were made to inherit the Scripture [i.e. the Taurâh (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] after them (i.e. Jews and Christians) are in grave doubt concerning it (i.e. Allâh’s true religion Islâm or the Qur’ân).
45: 17. And gave them clear proofs in matters [by revealing to them the Taurât (Torah)]. And they differed not until after the knowledge came to them, through envy among themselves. Verily, Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they used to differ.
85:10. Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance, (to Allâh), will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire.
8: 46. And obey Allâh and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allâh is with those who are As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.)
28: 4. Verily, Fir’aun (Pharaoh) exalted himself in the land and made its people sects, weakening (oppressing) a group (i.e. Children of Israel) among them, killing their sons, and letting their females live. Verily, he was of the Mufsidûn (i.e. those who commit great sins and crimes, oppressors, tyrants, etc.)
30: 32. Of those who split up their religion (i.e. who left the true Islâmic Monotheism), and became sects, [i.e. they invented new things in the religion (Bid’ah), and followed their vain desires], each sect rejoicing in that which is with it.
42: 13. He (Allâh) has ordained for you the same religion (Islâm) which He ordained for Nûh (Noah), and that which We have inspired in you (O Muhammad SAW), and that which We ordained for Ibrahim (Abraham), Mûsa (Mosesý) and ‘Isa (Jesus) saying you should establish religion (i.e. to do what it orders you to do practically), and make no divisions in it (religion) (i.e. various sects in religion). Intolerable for the Mushrikûn , is that to which you (O Muhammad SAW) call them. Allâh chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides unto Himself who turns to Him in repentance and in obedience.
14. And they divided not till after knowledge had come to them, through selfish transgression between themselves. And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord for an appointed term, the matter would have been settled between them. And verily, those who were made to inherit the Scripture [i.e. the Taurâh (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] after them (i.e. Jews and Christians) are in grave doubt concerning it (i.e. Allâh’s true religion Islâm or the Qur’ân).
45: 17. And gave them clear proofs in matters [by revealing to them the Taurât (Torah)]. And they differed not until after the knowledge came to them, through envy among themselves. Verily, Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they used to differ.
59: 10. And those who came after them say: “Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful.+

Once the Prophet brought out Al-Hasan and took him up the pulpit along with him and said, “This son of mine is a Saiyid (i.e. chief) and I hope that Allah will help him bring about reconciliation between two Muslim groups.”
