Yeah, well, John Kerry and Joe Biden and David Cameron and Pope Francis and Bishop McManus and all the rest of them, they all know so much more about Islam than the caliph Ibrahim. This “caliph” is just a Misunderstander of Islam. Everyone knows that. The fact that his message is resonating with ever-increasing numbers of Muslims in the West — that is not a matter of concern to anyone. To wonder why that is happening would be “Islamophobic.”
“ISIS Leader: ‘Islam Is the Religion of War,’” by John Sexton, Breitbart, May 14, 2015:
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has released a call to arms which asks Muslims everywhere to physically join ISIS in the area it now controls or simply take up the struggle against unbelievers wherever they are.
The title of the message “March Forth Whether Heavy or Light” comes from a verse in the Koran which calls on believers to “strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah.” In Baghdadi’s view that striving is ISIS’s war against unbelievers.
“O Muslims, Islam was never for a day the religion of peace. Islam is the religion of war,” al-Baghdadi says, according to an English language transcript of the speech promoted by ISIS-affiliated social media accounts. The transcript, which was posted online at Downrange, portrays Islam’s Muhammad as a warrior:
Where are you in relation to your Prophet (peace be upon him), whom you claim to emulate, and who spent his whole life (peace be upon him) as a mujāhid for the cause of Allah, fighting His enemies? His lateral incisor tooth was broken in battle, his forehead was wounded, two rings from his chainmail cut his cheeks, his helmet was broken on his head, and blood ran down his face.
Baghdadi frames the necessity of war against unbelievers as a religious duty but also as a necessity, saying, “the Jews, the Christians, and the rest of the disbelievers will not approve of you nor abandon waging war against you until you follow their religion and apostatize from yours.” The only place of safety in this global war between Muslims and unbelievers, Baghdadi says, is with ISIS:
This war is only against you and against your religion. Has the time not come for you to return to your religion and your jihād and thereby bring back your glory, honor, rights, and leadership? Has the time not come for you to know that there is no might nor honor nor safety nor rights for you except in the shade of the Caliphate?… Therefore, O Muslims, seek shelter – after Allah – with the Islamic State.
The final pages of the letter are devoted to praise for the so-called “lions of the Caliphate” who are already fighting for ISIS around the world. In addition to numerous areas within Iraq and Syria, Baghdadi mentions fighters in Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Yemen, and West Africa.
Last month, sources claimed Baghdadi had been seriously injured by an airstrike in Iraq sometime in March. Baghdadi was reportedly recovering but unable to maintain daily control of the terrorist group, however, those reports were not confirmed by U.S. officials. The audio message released Thursday is being viewed by some analysts as proof that Baghdadi (injured or not) is still leading the group….

Jesus died for you, Mohammed kills for you.
Religion is a weird thing.
Peggy says
Jesus loved us so much he died for us while Mohammed demands that they die for him.
This is so simple and so many can’t see it. It’s obvious which one is pure love.
mortimer says
Islam is a slave cult and death cult.
Muslims get slaves for killing non-Muslims.
Muslims get eternal sex-slaves and brothels in the sky if they hunt non-Muslims to enslave and murder them.
This is the definition of psychopathy.

Well well, the Caliph has settled it. Now we have it from the horse’s mouth. In one sentence he has shut up half of Washington and even the Pope.

Yes, but what does the caliph know when compared, for example, with Barak Obama, or Pope Francis, or any given “pundit” in the MSM? Take, for example, Christopher Dickey

No wonder all these Islamic barbarians are angry all the time…All these people on MSM and in Washington are constantly telling lies about their religion every day by calling it a “Religion of Peace”. Any self respecting savage would take offense to that. Now the caliph, himself no less, is finally trying to call them on it.
Don McKellar says
“O Muslims, Islam was never for a day the religion of peace. Islam is the religion of war.”
The Caliph of the Islamic State, with a PhD in Islamic Studies, has spoken. AND HE IS IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT WITH ROBERT SPENCER! What part doesn’t anybody get? Only a complete retard wouldn’t understand, after all we’ve experienced, at the point we’re at.
Jack Diamond says
The extended quote: “Islam was never for a day the religion of peace. Islam is the religion of war. Your Prophet (peace be upon him) was dispatched with the sword as a mercy to the creation. He was ordered with war until Allah is worshipped alone. He (peace be upon him) said to the polytheists of his people, “I came to you with slaughter.” He fought both the Arabs and non-Arabs in all their various colors. He himself left to fight and took part in dozens of battles. He never for a day grew tired of war. He (peace be upon him) passed away during the period he was preparing the expedition of Usāmah (may Allah be pleased with him). And from his last instructions – peace be upon him – was, “Dispatch the expedition of Usāmah.”
His companions after him and their followers carried on similarly. They did not soften and abandon war, until they possessed the Earth, conquered the East and the West, the nations submitted to them, and the lands yielded to them, by the edge of the sword. And similarly, this will remain the condition of those who follow them until the Day of Recompense. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) has informed us of the Malāhim (bloody battles) near the end of time.”

Please forward to anyone in the media who still insists Islam is a religion of peace. Please ask them to note the copious quotes from the Quran, and ask them to explain why they think they are right and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is wrong.
This also reminds me of Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” post 9/11, in which he also explains why he did it with reference to the Quran:

I can’t figure out what kind of mind one must have so that this sick stuff attracts one.
Grumpyoldguy says
Thanks, Robert. More truth to power that sadly, will not sway the limp wristed so called leaders in the West one iota. Obama is their ringleader, and America is being mislead and lied to about Islam almost daily.
It’s as if they WILL NOT see the facts of Islam’s true nature. If more people would simply pick up the Qu’ran and read it for themselves, they would know that its sick, twisted ideology cannot coexist (pun not intended) with freedom.
God bless you, and the work you do. Never give up or give in.
Kasey says
War and sexual exploitation are the key elements of Islam…so it’s no wonder so many men are to be seen at every mosque, with women hardly ever seen enough to be noticed.
Jaladhi says
When will the Western leaders, our media and academia teach this guy the “real” Islam !! LOL…. Of course the Western leaders’ Islam is the mythical imaginary Islam whereas Baghdadi is only bringing back the Islam of Mo.allah!! No wonder Muslims are heeding to Baghdadi’s call.

Gabriel appeared with dust on his face and ordered Mahound back into the battle. Mahound complied and here’s what happened…
‘His lateral incisor tooth was broken in battle, his forehead was wounded, two rings from his chainmail cut his cheeks, his helmet was broken on his head, and blood ran down his face’.
After that, he thought it better if others went to battle while he stayed home and guarded the perimeter, and the woman…
Holy Prophet APF says
I propose a televised debate between the New Caliph Abu and ex-Prez Dubya. The former says it’s a religion of war, the latter says it’s a religion of peace. They disagree violently on this vital question upon which hundreds of millions of lives depend. Let them fight it out, and may the best man win.
I also propose that Alarmed Pig Farmer serve as moderator of this debate. I love that guy.
Arkanthus says
No, caliph, is that true ???
Peter says
The loopy left continues to drink the kool-aid while ignoring the facts.
abu bakr al-baghdadi is not an extremist, nor a radical muslim. He is, in fact, a ‘normal’ muslim and highly educated in its tenets: “According to a biography that circulated on jihadist internet forums in July 2013, he obtained a BA, MA, and PhD in Islamic studies from the Islamic University of Baghdad.”
Now perhaps all the muslim apologists could explain to us how it is possible that this ‘person’ does not understand islam, or is getting it so very wrong, when he is so highly educated about it?
Godwin says
Yes, a religion of war n they keep fighting each others in all over the ME. Who wins ? The Western weapon sellers. The losers are these morons who kill each other mercilessly. The winners are laughing all the way to the banks n the losers are crying for the lost of loved ones, homes, incomes, etc., etc..
