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

Islamic State mag hails Muhammad cartoon jihadis as “martyrs”

May 21, 2015 10:09 pm By Robert Spencer

Dabiq SimpsonDabiq SoofiThe Islamic State’s Dabiq magazine hails the Muslims who tried to commit jihad mass murder at our free speech event in Garland, Texas as “martyrs.” If only we hadn’t “provoked” them, they’d be enrolled in business school today!

In reality, these jihadis in particular, and Islamic jihadists in general, are already “provoked.”

Ibrahim Simpson wasn’t “radicalized” by our cartoon contest.

Long before it took place, he was in touch with jihad terrorists who encouraged him to carry out a jihad attack. If he hadn’t opted to attack our heavily guarded event, he might have chosen a softer target, as did his fellow jihadists Amedy Coulibaly, who murdered four Jews in a kosher supermarket in January, and Man Haron Monis, who took hostages (of who two were subsequently killed) in the Lindt Chocolat Café in Sydney, Australia last December.

What’s more, the Islamic State, to whom Simpson pledged allegiance before his attack, is already “provoked.”

On September 21, 2014, long before our event was scheduled or even thought of, Islamic State spokesman Abu Muhammad Adnani issued a lengthy and remarkable statement calling Muslims in the West to jihad.

In it, he said that the West was not as strong as it seemed to be: It was, rather:

… a conceited and brash encampment of falsehood, which demonstrates itself to be powerful, and subduing, one that no conqueror can dominate nor any defender withstand. But the reality is they are fearful and terrified, humiliated and left with a weak plan, shaken and defeated, despite their uninhibited movement throughout the lands.

He declared that the warriors of jihad would overcome this weak force:

We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women, by the permission of Allah, the Exalted. This is His promise to us; He is glorified and He does not fail in His promise. If we do not reach that time, then our children and grandchildren will reach it, and they will sell your sons as slaves at the slave market.

He called for jihadis to commit mass murder:

If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be …

The weapon didn’t matter, only the outcome:

If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him. Do not lack. Do not be contemptible. Let your slogan be, “May I not be saved if the cross worshipper and taghut (ruler ruling by manmade laws) patron survives.” If you are unable to do so, then burn his home, car, or business. Or destroy his crops.

If you are unable to do so, then spit in his face. If your self refuses to do so, while your brothers are being bombarded and killed, and while their blood and wealth everywhere is deemed lawful by their enemies, then review your religion. You are in a dangerous condition because the religion cannot be established without wala’ [loyalty to believers] and bara’ [disavowal of unbelievers].

An Islamic State e-book, Black Flags for Rome, sketches out a scenario in which Islamic State partisans sow murder and mayhem on the streets of Europe and America. It contains advice on how to obtain weapons and instructions on how to build bombs.

In the face of this threat, which is only growing, is not being “provocative” really going to accomplish anything?

When the Islamic State boasts of the West’s societal and cultural weakness, is it really wise to give them another example of it?

    In the words of Chris Kyle, “They are savages.” Such have they always have been; such shall they remain. Should provocation of any sort cease to exist, they will remain savages.

      Indeed. I have personally observed a group of Islamic men training at the Garland Public Shooting range,. They did not interact with other shooters as Is the culture at American shooting ranges. They spoke only Arabic and grimly bent over their military pattern rifles unti they had them properly sighted in. I also heard that a former Garland city councilman who is very outspoken about the danger of empowered Islam ran off the road after losing a wheel from his car last week. It was found that all the lug nuts had been loosened on all 4 wheels of his car. This former official lives only a couple of blocks from the Culwell Center and participated in the protests against Stand With the Prophet back in January.

    The Quran convinces them to die for “the cause” so they can gain “paradise”.

    Why are people so easily fooled by “religious” leaders and books like the Quran?

    Anyone who seriously believes the Quran is a sandwich short of a picnic.

    “Islamic State mag hails Muhammad cartoon jihadis as “martyrs” – If only we hadn’t “provoked” them, they’d be enrolled in business school today!”.

    Islam and Muslims – always ready to “Pass the Buck”, and Blame someone or something else for THEIR OWN CHOSEN Bloody Butchery.

    “Business School ?”, like in “Jobs for Jihadis ?”, like in Islam’s Bloody Butchering “Terrorist Business ?” – uh ATTENTION – Islam IS ALREADY in that Business, Islam HAS BEEN in that “Business” since near the 7th Century, and STILL IS in that “Business” in the 21st Century.

    Islam and Muslims withit’s “Cult of HATE”- INCESSANTLY Whining, Complaining, and Playing the “Victim Card” – finding ever new ways to exercise their Rallying Cry of “Death to the Infidel”, “Death to the Unbeliever”.

    verily, verily the Allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) incites its slaves to violence.

    Here’s the sobering news: The U.S. is apparently already surrendering itself to dhimmitude status.

    Majority Of Democrats Okay With Violating First Amendment

    A poll released Wednesday by the online pollster YouGov has found that a plurality of the American public, as well as a majority of Democrats, support limiting the First Amendment to allow a ban on hate speech.

    Of course the Muslim propaganda machine cries victory. The jihad attack in Garland was a huge success from their point of view. Two Muslims died, but look at what they got for that.

    The western press attacks Ms. Geller. Even right wing media see a “fault line–however thin–” http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/gellerhypocrite/ . This line will get bigger and bigger of course until Kelley Vlahos sees a very thin line from inside her burka.

    The mayor (or was it the sheriff? In the Netherlands the mayor is the commander and chief of the police) handed a weapon against Ms. Geller to the terrorists by allowing her to pay for police protection. The jihadis did real (financial) damage to her. Of course they will do that again. Far from doing what he claims he did : “But at the end of the day, we did our jobs,” he added. “We protected her freedoms and her life.” http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/douglas-athas-garland-pam-geller-shooting, he undermined her freedom and rewarded the terrorists for threatening her. Needless to say there will be more threats.

    If the west wants to win the war, it must stop the “There is a line that is crossed if you attack someone’s religion,” nonsense. Islam wants to cut your head off when you don’t accept its rule so who started it?
    And the media have to learn to think. This was about cartoons. Did we stop traveling by plane? Did we stop building skyscrapers? It is perfectly legal to draw a picture and claim it is Mohammad so why stop doing that?

    The problem with the people who peddle the “the cartoon exhibit was a provocation” propaganda is that they think they’re smart. And they think they’re smarter than everyone else. And since they’re so smart, then whatever it is they believe in must be the truth, so all the peons and miscreants need to do is shut up and do as they say. Any attempt of discussing their ideas is met with scorn, derision and hostility – why bother to discuss? They’re smart, therefore whatever it is they believe in is right, and whoever disagrees with them has to be punished.

    There’s people like that in all walks of life. At best, they’re buffoons and nuisances. At worst, they’re zealots and, in this specific matter (islam) they must be regarded as a fifth column.
