Warning: the video is graphic. It shows beheadings. For the Islamic State, that is not repulsive — it is a recruitment tool. It signals to Muslims that they are heeding the Qur’anic injunction: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4).
“New Islamic State Video Calls for Attacks on the American Homeland, Promises Another 9/11,” by Patrick Poole, PJ Media, April 11, 2015:
The Islamic State has released a new 11-minute video called “We Will Burn America” that calls for supporters to attack the American homeland and promises another 9/11….
At this juncture I would note the New York Times’front page article on December 29 that described how America’s top war fighters, namely Special Operations Command, freely admit that they don’t understand the ideology driving ISIS and other Islamic terror groups:WASHINGTON — Maj. Gen. Michael K. Nagata, commander of American Special Operations forces in the Middle East, sought help this summer in solving an urgent problem for the American military: What makes the Islamic State so dangerous?
…“We do not understand the movement, and until we do, we are not going to defeat it,” he said, according to the confidential minutes of a conference call he held with the experts. “We have not defeated the idea. We do not even understand the idea.”…
You can call in all the marketing executives and Harvard academics all you like, but when the Obama administration — meaning the entire U.S. government – as a matter of established policy refuses to acknowledge the ideology and intentions that our enemy publishes IN ENGLISH in the form of videos, audio recordings and magazines, and actively prohibits anyone in a government department or agency from discussing or speaking about said ideology, you really are beyond hope. And so is America.
He is right.

What! Do these people not know how to read the koran or the history of this death cult? Enough of this, BAN islam now. This is not a religion but a cult a very big evil death cult. These savages have lost the right to live.
Linde Barrera says
To Susan- This video shows the full force and power of evil. I am in total agreement with you.

Yep. For highly paid individuals who are so high-up on the “food chain”, this is absolutely inexcusable. ( And pardon me, but practically ALL members of the U.S. State Dept. fit into this category.)
How many people who may have stumbled across Robert Spencer’s site here, or Pamela Geller’s site, or even Bill Warner’s site have become motivated enough to learn more about izlam? It isn’t hard. It only takes a willingness to learn, whether or not you have been forbidden from doing it. But that may make being a highly paid schmuck – especially in this administration – a bit difficult to hold on to.
Papa Whiskey says
In reality, you are really only beyond hope when you give up in your heart. The Continental Army did not give up at Valley Forge, the Army of the Potomac dd not give up after the terrible butchery at Fredericksburg, the U.S. Navy did not give up after Pearl Harbor, and the American people — the American people — are not about to give up now.We will get our necks out from under the heel of Barry Hussein and his loathsome legion of leftist lickspittles and we will endure and we will win. Deus lo volt!

While such beheadings may strike fear into the hearts of good decent folks, we must never forget that Islam at its core is a laughable pig bath full of Muslims rolling in the slime trail left by Muhammad.
Muslims commit beheadings because they are way too ashamed to admit to themselves what a total evil buffoon their Serpent of Satan was with his Quran toilet paper posing as a holy book.
If Muslims are so sensitive at being mocked and laughed at they should just FLUSH Muhammad down the toilet with the rest of his poop and move on.
BTW to Muslims,
I mean that in a nice way. I don’t want to cause any offence.
Nimrod says
The problem for most Muslims is that they’re too ashamed to admit that their entire “religion” is based on the fraudulent claims of a fundamentally evil individual known as Mohammed. The shame of admitting this to themselves would be impossible to deal with.
I mean, imagine that your whole culture and society was based around the reverence and worship of a murderous lying psychopath who you were expected to believe to be the most perfect moral role model. How well would you be able to come to terms with that?
Maybe a psychologist could tell us how such intense shame and denial could be dealt with.
Jay Airahs says
@Nimrod
I find it very strange that defenders of Islam like Shabeer never seem to dare attempt their cut and paste long paragraph distractions in an effort to challenge comments dealing with this particular (Achilles’ heel) aspect of Islam knowing full well that they risk a follow-up with flood load of more of the same.
Linde Barrera says
To Jay Airahs- You are on the money, with the way that Muslims give those long winded explanations that never explain, only deflect. Isn’t there an old saying: “If you can’t dazzle them with disclaimers, baffle them with bull.”

Before 9/11 Osama Bin Laden threatened the US too, and nobody listened….
Lee says
Every time I see images of 9/11, I think of our (Australian) Grand Mufti’s public praise of the mass-murder of 3,000 innocent random strangers, proving Islam is a murderous, criminal, death-cult.
“September 11 is Allah’s work against oppressors,” said the Grand Mufti of Australia in 2004. “…if we ask the giant that fell: ‘Who humiliated you?’ Or if we ask the president: ‘Who made you cry?’ Allah is the answer.”
Sheikh Hilaly declared there was a “war on infidels” around the world, spoke of an “Islamic revolution”, and told his audience not to be surprised if one day a muezzin called out “Allah is Great!” from the “top of the White House”.
See http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/02/28/1077677014393.html (note translators substitute “God” in place of the correct “Allah”).
The enemy declared itself, and our traitorous politicians proceeded to import more of these depraved killers, rapists, and abettors, so we now have even more mosques, more madrassas, more Islam, more Muslims, and more Islamic terrorism than after the Sheikh’s considered comments of 2004.
However, I believe treason trials are coming, select politicians will be spending the rest of their lives in jail, those who follow the Jihad ideology will be banned from entering the country, and the preaching of Jihad and capital punishment for Sharia infractions will be banned for criminal incitement.
Keith says
What are you being paid for? What do you mean we don’t understand the movement and can’t fight or defeat those that we don’t understand? Did anybody understand Nazism during the second world war? What makes the Islamic State so dangerous is the willingness to stand by and watch them grow. I forget who said it, but it goes something like this “Evil prevails when good men do nothing”. The fact that we have leaders like that general is what is scary, if our laws allowed us as citizens to independently react to the Islamic threat as it shows up in our communities, then any fears we may have would quickly dissolve. Having the opportunity to deal with these coward thugs under the same light they carry out their evil mission I would find satisfying, ridding the world of such vermin would be an honorable cause. And of course the favorable by-product of preserving our freedoms, values and general way of life. I fail to understand why the Islamic State members are so keen to demonstrate against Obama, the position he has taken he’s like their best buddy, it is almost as if they finally got one of their own in the White House. If this was a football game, we would just be going into the second half and Team Isis would be in the lead. Make no mistake about it, in most countries that can be counted as the free world the invasion is well established, fear the consequences of their rule.

That’s bullshit. They understand the idea alright. They just PRETEND not to understand it.
FredvanH says
How could they not understand? I mean seriously. These people are no idiots. They wouldn’t hold the positions they hold if they were.
Waldo says
The video is no longer available online. Does anyone have a copy that they can put out on Jihadwatch.org
