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

Islamic State declares caliphate in Yemen, vows to “cut throats of Houthis”

Apr 26, 2015 5:22 pm By Robert Spencer

Iraq and Syria, Libya, Yemen, Nigeria, the Philippines — but nothing to be concerned about: Obama and John Kerry and David Cameron and every other Western leader assures us that it has nothing to do with Islam. “ISIS Says It’s Established A Caliphate In Yemen,” by Jamie Tarabay, Vocativ, April 24, 2015:

Supporters of the Islamic State say they’ve declared a caliphate in the deserts of Yemen, where government forces are battling Shiite Houthi rebels, and Al Qaeda fighters are gaining ground amid the chaos.

In a nine minute video published online, the group calls itself Soldiers of the Caliphate in Yemen. They appear, all masked, in a desert landscape and number a dozen or so, bearing automatic rifles. They go through shooting exercises, and crawl through the sand on their elbows while carrying their weapons. In the end they face the camera and the man at the forefront sends his greetings to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-declared caliph of the Islamic State. The fighter and several others direct their threats to the Houthi rebels, who are reported to be backed by Iran, and have been fighting the Yemen government for years for greater political representation….

“Yemen: Isis in New Video Says ‘We have Arrived’ to ‘Cut the Throats of Houthis,'” by Johnlee Varghese, International Business Times, April 24, 2015:

Islamic State (Isis) in its first official announcement, declaring its presence in Yemen, has released a video in which it says that the “soldiers of the Caliphate” have arrived in the country to “cut the throats” of the Shiite Houthis.

In the 9-minute-20-second video recorded and edited in top-notch Hollywood style, dozens of Isis militants are seen walking across what is claimed to be the deserts close to Sanaa, the capital of Yemen. It also claims that the high-quality clip was produced by the Isis Media in Sanaa.

In the video, posted on Friday, the Isis militants are seen carrying out military drills armed with AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle. Then an Isis fighter, who appears to be the commander of the militants, thrusts an Isis flag into the ground and declares that he will “cut the throats of all Houthis.”

“We have come to Yemen, with men hungry for your blood to avenge the Sunnis and take back the land they have occupied,” the Isis commander said in the video. Then he appeals all Sunni men of fighting age in Yemen to join them for the cause.

The new video released by Isis has come just a day after a new group calling itself the Islamic State’s Green Brigade took responsibility for a bombing in Yemen that had allegedly killed five Shiite rebels.

In a message on Twitter, the Isis Green Brigade in Yemen claims that it had struck a vehicle of the Houthi rebels in Yarim in the central province of Ibb on Wednesday, AFP reported….

    Since we are fighting with the Sunni faction, we are helping to enable the Islamic State in Yemen. In Iraq, we are fighting the Islamic State on behalf of the Shiite faction, which is the Baghdad regime, and are helping Teheran. These absurdities point up the futility of trying to defeat jihadism by proxy, because neither faction can represent our interests and values. There is simply no alternative to permanent occupation and colonization and the setting aside of Islam-free zones. Of course, that requires acknowledging that it is Islam that is the problem instead of this or that faction of Islam. Meanwhile, the Muslims are colonizing the West at a rapid pace, and we are letting it happen.

      “… Acknowledging that it is Islam that is the problem instead of this or that faction of Islam”

      ———–
      That might require politicians and the news media to speak of Islam truthfully.
      The knee-jerk groveling reverence response toward Islam and Muhammad has become an entrenched addiction that is in desperate need of a Muhammad mock-fest intervention.

      This is where Islam is most vulnerable and is the real reason Muslims incite violence so easily at being called out on their evil buffoonery. They have no true defense of Muhammad’s idiotic pretense.

    I guess this might explain why so many Muslims own kebab and ‘Mediterranean’ sandwich shops.
    Experienced butchers

      More than butchers.

      It’s no coincidence that most of the slaughterers in abattoirs throughout the West are actually mohammedans.

      Cutting throats is a mohammedan speciality.

    I happened to be perusing this document produced by UK Salafis (i.e. those follow Muhammad’s “sunna” most closely), and could barely stop myself laughing when I came to the part where “Shi’ism” is, (surprise surprise) described as a “deviant sect” ESTABLISHED BY A JEWISH CONSPIRACY (what else?)

    “……Abdullah Ibn Saba–the founder of Shi’ism–is laughing in his grave right now because he
    duped such a large portion of the Muslims, getting them to curse the very Ahlel Bayt that they
    claim to revere. Ibn Saba was a Jewish Rabbi who pretended to convert to Islam in order to
    start this deviant sect with the express intent of not only dividing the Ummah but to hurt the
    Prophet and his family specifically”

    http://www.calltoislam.com/all_articles/Deviant%20sects/Shia%20&%20Ahlul%20Bayt.pdf

    Yup. It was the Jews’ fault all along.
    I recommend linking the document to any Shia muslims you may come in contact with, and explain why their Sunni “brothers” hate them so much……….

    As always with Islam, both tragic yet hilarious…………

      Dear Peter , just a minor thing here . When somewhere is stated : ” a Jewish Rabbi ” , I’m really amazed . Have you ever heard about other than Jewish rabbi’s ? Amazing ! Besides , Thanks for the indeed very interesting information you’re reveiling here !

    In the video:
    A gust of desert wind tosses grains of sand into the air and two dozen jihadis take aim at the pile of sand.
    The jihadis emerge victorious against the unarmed sand pile.

    Edited from the film clip was the jihadi who peed his pants after a grain of sand grazed his eyelid.

    MOM I am homesick.
    Please send me some more Coco Puffs.

    Let me guess….these US trained, funded, and supported mercenary savages
    Are the result of islam….no smarty pants here…just an intelligent, well
    Traveled American who still can think…i don’t get my information from
    Racist ads on the sides of buses in San francisco either…here is the solution:
    All American military personnel get the hell out of muslim countries…yes, they
    Do hate the American government and it’s military.
    2. Stop giving over $5 billion a year to countries like Pakistan and egypt…it ends
    Up the same place as American weapons in libya, syria, iraq and Somalia did.
    3. Both false governments in Iraq and Afghanistan were put in power by
    America…no dispute here at the deadly opposite of the will of the native citizens…
    This group is just the beginnig…america will lose in the middle east…American lose
    Badly as it should….

      Sabri
      The Qur’an is a killing manual.
      Why aren’t you doing your killing jihad.
      Negligence to Allah
      Allah needs a helping bloodstained hand.
      Don’t you believe in doing Allah’s duty doo doo for him?

    • Linde Barrera says

      Apr 26, 2015 at 8:14 pm

      To Sabri S- You didn’t give all the facts, as usual. The USA always gets invited to intervene in the middle east. It is part of the ISLAMIST PLAN (regardless of country or leader) to get as many American soldiers as possible killed, and to bankrupt the USA. Makes diabolical sense to me. Also have you ever watched the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest?” with Jack Nicholson? I can see various Islamist leaders in the role that Jack Nicholson portrays.

      @Sabri
      I can’t believe I’m in agreement with you Sabri, except for the bus ads.
      U.S. foreign policy is convoluted and feckless in matters with the Middle East or any Islamic nation for that matter. The U.S. is directly responsible for the birth of ISIS and our politicians in both parties take Saudi bribe money which sells our national interests down the tiolet. Can anyone name one Islamic nation we invaded and then left as a success story!?
      Saudi Arabia should be deemed by the U.S. State Department as “Enemy Number One”.
      The U.S. should also be working with India, Russia and China to crush Islamic terrorism and expansion and the only U.S. military hardware a Muslim should see is an exploding one.

    Invited?!?…lol….who the hell in history invites occupation and systematic
    Murder?? Wow, you all are really lost in an immoral, god less world….
    I suppose you think america has to kill and murder everyone, so they don’t
    Come over here…ridiculous sheep you all are

      Sabri S…You renounce Allah and Mahound, and I will give you credit…as long as you don’t do that, and come here and spew propaganda, your posts are worthless…

    Sabri,

    Why don’t you defend your Allah in a rational way instead of making up stories. ISIS is a caliphate they are coming for you also just like your prophet wants. You will not be able to escape your religion of peace also. We do not cut people’s throats, honor kill little girls, hang gays and wrap bombs around children to send them to Allah and than brag about it. You do it as your religion dictates. You see it right or maybe you are the clueless one.

    Pimply, anonymous youths in half mast trousers fire bullets in an empty desert. Nobody knows why…

    What a sad bunch of muppets.

    I wish someone would’ve nicked their cars while they weren’t looking. I bet they left the keys in them.
