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

Sunni mosques in Yemen call for jihad against Shi’ite Houthis: “Allahu akbar! Rise for jihad!”

Apr 8, 2015 9:37 am By Robert Spencer

YemenSunnisBut surely they mean an interior spiritual struggle, or getting the kids to school on time, right? After all, Hamas-linked CAIR said that’s what jihad is all about, and they wouldn’t lie to us, would they?

Anyway, as Lookmann, who sent this to me, “This cannot be. How can a “House of God,” a “House of Prayer,” give a call to kill fellow human beings? That too belonging to ‘The Religion Of Peace’!”

He also reminded me of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s quote: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers…”

“Fighting in central Aden, mosques call for jihad: residents,” Daily Star, April 8, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):

ADEN: Dozens of Yemeni Houthi fighters clashed with local militiamen in the central Aden district of Crater Wednesday and mosques broadcast calls for jihad to combat the Houthi forces trying to take over the southern Yemeni port city, residents said.

They said several houses were on fire after being hit by rockets, and families stayed indoors as fighting raged from street to street.

The Houthis, who are allied to soldiers loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, advanced into Crater Wednesday morning with a tank and two armoured vehicles, one resident said.

Mosques in Crater called on the population to wage holy war against the Houthis, their loudspeakers, usually reserved for sermons and the call to prayer, broadcasting: “God is the greatest! Rise for jihad!”

The battle in the old center of Aden came a day after fighters from the city said they had pushed the Houthis and allied troops from positions in northern Aden neighborhoods, which they said cut Houthi supply lines into the center.

One fighter, Yasser Mahmoud, said the Houthis had been pushed from the Dar Saad neighborhood at the northern approach to Aden. He said 22 Houthi fighters were killed when a tank and an armored vehicle were destroyed.

Three explosions shook northern areas of Aden Wednesday, in what residents said were airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition which is two weeks into a campaign to stem Houthi advances. They said the attacks appeared to target weapons depots.

    What “house of god” could give a call to kill fellow human beings?

    Well, that depends what god we’re talking about, from which house.

    It isn’t the god of the modern Christians. Or the Jews.

    It isn’t even the cow or rat or monkey gods of the Hindus.

    One might guess quite correctly that we’re talking about Aztec sun god human sacrifices.

    But we’re talking about a different god here. He was originally Ba’al the blood-thirsty moon god of ancient times. Then, when the arab warlords of old were trying to shore up and maintain control of their expanding violent empire they needed a plan. They came up with a one religion to rule them all — drawing inspiration from Constantine and what he pulled off. But their backgrounds and morality was far, far more cruel and dark, so they turned to Ba’al, stole a bunch of stuff from Christianity and the Jews, modified Ba’al’s name a little, created a crazy, raving “prophet”, and then enforced it all with the sword. And tah-dah — Islam! The House of Allah. Which is why on moslem flags, the little star is Mohammad and the crescent moon is Allah (Ba’al).

    Mho: Finding useful alternatives to oil soon and leaving this god damned region alone. Intercivilizational globalism should be overcome. Maybe our wealth will suffer a bit, but that is better than decline.

    Muslims should be deeply ashamed of what this religion essentially is: a DEATH CULT.

    Anyone who remains in Islam has killed the most precious thing in humans: the conscience!

    Robert,
    Brilliantly described as usual.

    But is anyone listening?

    And by “anyone”, I mean those in power in Europe and the US?

    A Win – Win for Allah
    No matter who wins, the mosque loudspeakers will declare Allah victorious even though the wimp Allah can never seem to fight his own battles.

    The dead jihadi wandered about lost in darkness until he came face to face with his dead ‘prophet’ of Islam, Muhammad.
    “Where are my 72 virgins in Paradise”, he asked Muhammad.

    “Paradise?” Muhammad asked and let out a devilish laugh.

    True, Lookman …the “religion of peace” slogan does NOT pertain to islam; only those gullible and/or lazy believe such rot.

    Let these heathen rage for their god. May they draw in their big brothers. Civil war in the umma, what could be better? Here’s wishing total victory for both = islamic annihilation by the hand of alla.

    As I have stated many times, my wet dream is to see these Sunnis
    and the Shias to fight a hot war. It will cull their surplus population, resulting
    in relief for the civilized world.

    is it me, or is this getting like Syria, where one needs a spreadsheet to keep track of the factions, and who is backing whom?

    I would hope that both sides kill each other.
