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

Islamic State releases audio message purportedly from the caliph

May 14, 2015 4:24 pm By Robert Spencer

Abu-Bakr-al-BaghdadiThe Iraqi government says that the caliph was seriously injured in an airstrike. The Pentagon says he wasn’t. “ISIS releases audio message purportedly from leader,” CBS News, May 14, 2015:

BEIRUT — The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has released an audio message purportedly from its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who has not been seen or heard from in months.

The audio message posted on militant websites features a voice that sounds like al-Baghdadi’s exhorting all Muslims to take up arms and fight on behalf of the group’s self-styled caliphate. The speaker references the Saudi-led air campaign against Shiite rebels in Yemen, which began on March 26, and harshly criticizes the Saudi royal family.

It was not immediately possible to verify whether the voice was al-Baghdadi’s….

    Notice that it is a VOICE recording only. Even if it is al Bagdadi’s voice, it doesn’t rule out serious, debilitating injury. He could be bedridden with a catheter for all we know. If they wanted to make a point that the self-styled caliph is alive and well, don’t you think they’d show him standing up addressing a group of the faithful?

    Also note how the recording does not discuss more recent events. It could be an older recording that they decided to release to give the appearance that he’s OK.

      let’s hope they shove that catheter right up where the sun dont shine.

        Baghdadi limped very badly in his last video preaching in the mosque. We must assume he was injured or has changed his appearance in order to hide somewhere.

        With 7 million USD on his head, someone will turn him in.

    So much hatred directed at individual people rather that the cause of the evil, Islam. Christians should be praying for these misguided Muslims. Remember St Paul, as Saul of Tarsus, was dedicated to the persecution of Christians and we should remember that.

    Christianity teaches us nobody is beyond redemption. Nobody.

    I hate Islam with a vengeance…..but people are people…..they are ALL loved by God.

    Before anyone says anything, that does NOT mean we shouldn’t do what is necessary to defend ourselves from this vicious, satanic cult. Of course we should. But we should also pray for Muslim conversions to the Truth.

      ”I hate Islam with a vengeance…..but people are people…..they are ALL loved by God.”

      Including people like Jihadi John, and the bastards who sawed off little Hannah Fogle’s head ? Mera, who shot little Miriam Monsenego in the head ? The perpetrators of the Holocaust ? The vile murderers who slaughtered the children of Beslan ? The Tsarnaev brothers ? I could go on and on …

      If there is a God, I find it hard to believe He has so little discrimination.

      ”So much hatred directed at individual people rather that the cause of the evil, Islam. ”

      These ‘individual people’ **choose** to embrace this vile cult. islam by itself would be nothing without individual people who choose to act out its tenets.

        The Band “THE Byrds” Sang It ! And I’m not talking about MR. TAMBOURINE MAN . I’m talking about their song based on Ecclesiastes chapter three , in the Old Testament . Where the author : who many believe was King Solomon Wrote : VS one “To every thing there is a season,and a time to every purpose under the heaven .” After going through a list of times and seasons, he mentions in vs.eight ” A TIME TO LOVE,AND A TIME TO HATE; A TIME OF WAR ,AND A TIME OF PEACE .” During the Protestant Reformation , the so called Radical Reformers, ( Christians who Believed In SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE ) Were divided into TWO GROUPS , those who were COMPLETE PACIFISTS , and those who CARRIED THE SWORD and believed in JUST WAR . AT a time when EUROPE was in danger,of being invaded by the TURKS , it became an important issue . And leaving the AUGUSTINIAN JUST WAR DEFENSE aside . It became MORE OF AN ISSUE OF CONSCIENCE ! Mohammad was an INDIVIDUAL . And those who participate in his atrocities are INDIVIDUALS,including BAG OF SHIT DADDY! My PRAYER FOR HIM IS:ROT IN HELL, WITH THE REST OF THE BRAIN DEAD INDIVIDUALS who mindlessly follow the teachings of THE PEDOPHILE . PS . TO EVERYTHING TURN TURN : THE BYRDS .

      “, , , they are ALL loved by God.” This is merely a subjective claim, and has no way of being verified. God certainly was pissed off at the time of Noah’s ark, and he certainly didn’t love all the sinners that were drowned. Who are you to determine God’s moods? God is supposed to hate evil, yet most believe that ISIS—and Islam in general—is evil. To love evil people seems to be a case of cognitive dissonance.

        @ prman413

        Yes it is hard to believe that ALL people are loved by GOD.GOD loves the sinner but hates the sin and wishes that no man should perish(go to hell). This is not a “mood” of GOD, just love. If you wantonly choose not to love GOD this is your free will to do so. Don’t expect however to get into heaven when you die. You made your choice to shun GOD and want nothing to do with him so don’t expect HIM to welcome you with open arms. Even the most vile sinner if he/she truly repents while they are still alive, asks JESUS into their heart and changes their ways they WILL be forgiven and their name is written in the book of life.
        Many bad things happen here on Earth because man chooses to follow their lusts and listens to their “evil” hearts desires.

        John 3:16King James Version (KJV)
        16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

        Acts 5:30-32King James Version (KJV)
        30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
        31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
        32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

        No man can fully grasp the love that our precious Lord JESUS CHRIST has for man. No man can fully comprehend what JESUS did for us when he conquered death I am humbled by this very fact and at the same time full of joy to have such a Creator.

          PRman,

          Even an atheist can subscribe to the Golden Rule. It feels good to be benevolent.

          It is a virtue to help those who are suffering…all Muslims are suffering.

          We help the suffering, while deploring the evil philosophy that deludes them and causes much of their pain.

    I hope Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is now a “good” follower is Islam.
    In other words……….
    I hope he is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD……………….and then DEAD some more

    If he is not DEAD I hope he has PAIN, PAIN, PAIN…..I hope his PAIN has PAIN

    • mortimer says

      May 14, 2015 at 11:32 pm

      Al Baghdadi will have pain. Everyone around him is going to die, including his family. He will watch them die and be unable to help. He will drag everyone down with him and thoroughly discredit Islam in the minds of the world.

      We need to see the positive…it’s making ordinary people learn how evil this Death Cult is.

      Even David Cameron and Obama said the words ‘Death Cult’. I almost fell over.

      We must tell Muslims to leave their Death Cult whenever we get the chance.

    What’s the first thing out of his mouth? He “exhorts all Muslims to take up arms and fight”. Typical Islamist.

    • mortimer says

      May 14, 2015 at 11:36 pm

      There are hundreds of loyal jihadists in all Western countries…over a thousand in the US, over a thousand in UK and certainly several thousands in France and Germany.

      They will attack those countries when they figure out how to do it.

      All Western nations have to get real about the importing Muslims…they are deadly enemies.

      • Tequila Not Taqiyya says

        May 15, 2015 at 2:15 am

        Agree mortimer, should deport instead of import and we need to get serious about that. But the left has their morals in this issue inverted. Now Anjem Choudary is Ghandi. That kind of vile stupidly emboldens the enemy 100 fold.

    “‘Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting,’ he [Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi] said”

    He’s more honest about this than our own politicians!

    Not one to lead by example, eh?

    • mortimer says

      May 14, 2015 at 11:18 pm

      The last time a caliph asked all Muslims to go on a rampage was in the 1915 Universal Fatwa to the People of Islam. Almost none heeded the fatwa.

    • Joseph says

      May 14, 2015 at 11:49 pm

      EXAMPLE????
      I heard Islam used to have hundreds of instructors on how to use and work the suicide vests….now they just print the instructions out.

    Big question – why don’t you guys stop persecuting Black Christians in the U.S., and focus on the real enemy?

    • Ernie says

      May 15, 2015 at 3:20 am

      3QtrLib , I don’t understand what you are talking about . Who is persecuting Black Christians in the U.S. ? And who is the real enemy you are talking/writing about ?

      • Joseph says

        May 15, 2015 at 3:29 am

          Hi Joseph , thank you , yes ,I’m feeling a little bit better now ( still tired ). Thank you for your prayers my friend , I appreciate that very much ! I hope you’re fine now after that emotional rollercoaster yesterday . Have a great day my friend , enjoy !

      Where are you coming from?.

      THIS IS A TYPICAL BAIT QUESTION THAT COMES FROM MUSLIMS

      • 3QtrLib says

        May 20, 2015 at 7:20 pm

        Think about your Black brother in Christ, who only wants a good job, a nice house, and a girlfriend. Let him fully integrate into society. Don’t move out of your neighborhood when he moves in. Let him have access to fair wages. If not, he becomes ripe for Islamic conversion and recruitment. Sadly, it is happening everyday.
