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

Blast at explosives factory in Syria kills 25 Islamic State fighters

Apr 30, 2015 6:25 am By Robert Spencer

Jihad Army Quneitra.30April2015Virgin eligibility unclear. Meanwhile, the Islamic State made gains in southern Syria for the first time. But don’t be concerned: the Pentagon says they’re losing!

“Blast at explosives factory in Syria kills 25 IS fighters, says monitor,” Middle East Eye, April 30, 2015:

Twenty-five fighters from the Islamic State group were killed when a powerful blast rocked an explosives manufacturing plant in Syria’s eastern Deir Ezzor province, a Syria monitor said late Wednesday.

It was not immediately clear whether the explosion was accidental or the result of a missile strike, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

“A strong explosion took place this evening in an IS explosives factory in the town of Al–Mayadeen in the province of Deir Ezzor,” the monitoring group said.

“Several other explosions followed, shaking the whole town. Twenty-five IS fighters were killed, around 20 others were injured,” it added.

The Islamic State group controls most of the oil-rich province of Deir Ezzor, which borders Iraq.

But government forces still hold parts of the provincial capital and small pockets of areas in the eastern part of the country of less strategic significance.

The militant group, which has blitzkrieged its way through much of the east and north of the country, has also made gains for the first time in southern Syria this week.

On Tuesday morning, Jihad Army, a group widely understood to be supportive of IS, fought against Free Syrian Army (FSA) and al-Nusra Front in the countryside of Quneitra, adjacent to border with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

This week has also seen questions raised about the strength of the Syrian government after rebels seized the city of Jisr al-Shughur Syria’s Idlib provice on Monday.

The fight in the northwestern province saw militias, often at odds with one another, cooperating and organising in the battle.

Some analysts have attributed the coordination between the groups to a change in Saudi Arabia’s foreign policy under King Salman….

    The talk of ISIS being pushed back is premature. The Assad regime is looking increasingly weak. While ISIS may loose territory in Iraq they are looking secure in
    Syria and the fall of the Assad government this year is possible.

    Bully insults used to be handled efficiently by throwing the insult back at the bully. For example: Bully says, “Your mother is fat and lazy”. The insultee would then say,”Your mother is fat and lazy too”. This was easy to do and both went on their way. Then somehow the bullies invented new terms to advance the science of bully verbal warfare. This led to the highly advanced term “racist” which it seems that everyone wants us to see as some kind of foul play to throw back at the bully when actually all that needs to be done is to throw the insult term “Racist”, back at the bully, the same as used to be done.

    I realize that academia and the MSM have gone to great lengths to convince everyone that it is unholy to throw the “Racist” comment back at the bully but we must realize that this is just propaganda perpetrated by the bullies and their friends. We should not listen to them. If we do, it is really our fault for taking them seriously when this is just another advancement in their bully warfare.

    I do realize that real racism has existed and may to a much lessor extent exist today. I do not wish to make light of that. However, how else are bullies to be handled in the verbal warfare game without resorting to the use of physical force? We should remember that the lack of adequate use of verbal warfare can easily lead to real physical war. Just saying.

      Excellent point. Simple. Wars are won at the lowest levels and with the most destructive weapons;

      WW1: Male Warriors/Trench Warfare/Machine Guns/Attrition/Propaganda

      WW2: Male Warriors/Automotive Mobility/Air Power/Atomic Bomb  /Propaganda

      WW3: (Current): Male Warriors/Propaganda/Annihilistic (I think I just invented the word) Weaponry

      The west has everything it needs but lacks the most CRITICAL ingredients The WILL and LEADERSHIP. The finger  is pointed directly at the muslim fraud and conman currently occupying the White House. The political WILL to use one’s most potent weapons derives from a powerful and ideologically committed military driving the issue unrelentingly with the civilian leadership. Successful prosecution of a war requires both in abundance. America, after a stuttering start, found it when it needed it the most during WW2; Henry Kaiser, Eisenhower, Patton.

      The islamic caliphate spearheaded by ISIS has all the ingredients except for the Annihilistic Weaponry (at least at the time of this writing). That can change quickly. Iran will have them soon (if they don’t already) and in the Wild West of things that the MENA has become; don’t put it past the capability and resources of these savages to acquire them from Pakistan (voluntarily or involuntarily) or worst case scenario by simply overwhelming Israel. Israel is surrounded by these animals.

      America is largely suffering from national delusion. She is less prepared and more lacking in threat comprehension, vision and commitment than Europe and America was in the 10-year run-up to WW2. Her militarily leadership has been stripped of its ballz and the remaining toadies like Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, kiss Barry Soetoro’s arse to protect their pensions rather than to deliver on their sworn oath to protect America and Americans. And it is my firm belief that their most important obligation is to protect the same from traitors of the ilk that populate the current administration. Our Male Warriors are being replaced by women and gays and transgenders.
      America has a f*****g muslim conman community organizer as president; a f*****g coward and traitor as Secretary of State; a f*****g lying con artist kleptocrat running for the next Presidency on the basis of being a woman; a f*****g moslim revert as head of the CIA; a likely f*****g moslim born in Iran advising the f*****g moslim pretend President on everything from socialistic anarchy to negotiating with the mullah thugocracy IN Iran and the Mayors of America’s burning cities.

      America is filled with fifth columnists and traitors and jihad sleeper cells just itching to bust loose (many of them already have and we are just scratching the surface with many more infiltrating through the southern border and via mass moslim ‘refugee’ resettlement/relocation) and moslem brotherhood operatives embedded at the highest levels of its security infrastructure/apparatus.

      America’s cities are increasingly aflame; arranged thus by cretins like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and Eric Holder and any other high-ranking Democrat of colour you wish to name. And less we think it is only the DemocRATS undermining the greatest experiment in human freedom, take a look at the RHINOS like McConnell and Graham in Congress and moslim moles like Grover Norquist (with a first name like Grover we should have automatically been suspicious). We are in serious trouble folks.
      This war, WW3, is by orders of magnitude more calamitous than its WWx predecessors. And Barry heads to the links for a round after smoking a spliff or 2. We will need firing squads to deliver justice to the American people.

      Help us Oh Lord!

    Incompetent nincompoops will increasingly be in charge of ISIS as the leaders are taken out one by one.

    The nincompoops have no idea what they are doing. They’re well-meaning college kids with an attitude of invincibility egged on by Islamic proof texts.

    ISIS is will run out of supplies and personnel soon and illness will soon lay many low. This will make them more and more vulnerable and lead to big captures and surrenders.

    Crikey! While doing some other research, I ran across this article on Hal & Al’s “72 Virgins” wine, used to raise funds by Australia’s anti-Jihad Q Society. This Daily Mail is grimly frowning in its approach, but that can’t hide the fact that this is *hilarious*. In fact, the dhimmified tsk-tsk tone may make it even funnier:

    I don’t drink much, but if I ever run across this product, you can bet I’m picking up a bottle!

    The more Muslims killed the better ?? What of those good mannered Muslims that are suffering even from the jihadists;those good Muslims that have known the TRUTH and are willingly seeking to come and serve the TRUTH but are still held under fear of the bestial jihadist.
    Am telling you and this is a handwriting on the wall,islam will soon shrink back to nothing,its ugly end is near.
    Either islam,muslims or Allah wants it or not,islam can not spread by killing or violence, people are no wise,they read quran,they know the bestiality,brutality and the ruthlessness it preaches and we should take note that the number of devout Christian faithfuls they killed can not add to their Muslim numbers,though the number is simultaneously deducted from devout Christian faithfuls also.
    Iran vs S/Arabia,the Alawites,Wahabites,Shiites,Sunnis and so on versus each other,then the end of mecca/Medina and finally, end of cultic islam.

      The olnly way Islam has ever spread has been by war, pillage, massacres and genocide. It has 1400 years of experience at it and now has about a quarter of humanity under its hoof.

    Massive blasts? How can ANYONE know how many people were killed? I mean, the pieces must have been VERY small, or vaporized.

    Only twenty-five? Still can’t see the downside.
