Jihad Watch

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

The ISIS death fatwa

May 14, 2015 11:44 am By Robert Spencer

Emwazi Jihadi JohnA message from Pamela Geller:

You know what happened in Garland, Texas. Two jihadists wanted to replicate and ramp up what happened in Paris, by murdering scores of patriotic Americans who were standing in defense of free speech. They were met with an utterly authentic response. The media has been waging jihad against the defenders of freedom, primarily me, but that’s only a device they are using to destroy anyone who speaks against the sharia and jihad. In the wake of our Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest, ISIS issued a death threat against me. They called me khanzaar — pig — which is the word Muhammad used of his victims before he slaughtered Jews. They threatened to murder also anyone associated with me, anyone who defends me, and anyone who supports our work.

In other words, they’ve declared war against America.

The media, on the other hand, is aligned with the jihad force. They’re cheering and agitating for my demise — some news outlets have even asked me for my posthumous remarks. They have been viciously attacking me and Robert Spencer, blaming us for the attack on us.

We did the right thing.

They are not going to win. We are not going to let them win. If we had a responsible media, it would report on the positive developments in light of this terrorist attack: the jihadists were killed. By drawing them out, we exposed their network, without getting anyone killed. The FBI is now going after sources. They are gleaning intel from their computers as we speak. We smoked out a terror structure. The FBI has put more American terror suspects under constant surveillance following the deadly attack. Every city across the U.S. has “subjects of concern” under heightened scrutiny, and the military is taking the threat seriously enough to raise the threat level to Bravo — the highest level since 9/11. The terror network that hit us has now expanded to include roots in Minneapolis.

People say we “provoked” the jihadis. But it has since come out that they were already looking for targets to hit. If they hadn’t hit us, they would have hit a much less protected target, as did the jihadist Amedy Coulibaly in the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket in Paris, and the jihadist Man Haron Monis in the Lindt Chocolat Cafe in Sydney, Australia. The jihadis in Garland weren’t provoked by us — they are already provoked. Our event just smoked them out. If we had not had such extensive security, many more people would have died — either at our event or somewhere else. Instead, the only dead were two jihadis, and a jihad network is exposed.

All that from one little art exhibit.

With just one small, relatively obscure presentation, America has been made aware that the threat is here. America has been made aware of the virulence of the war on free speech. Obama cannot ignore and excuse terrorism that is committed in the name of Islam, and we exposed the quislings and apologists for jihad terror among the political, cultural and media elites.

This has come with an enormous cost.

We are now marked. Marked for life. And we need to take extraordinary measures to protect ourselves, and above all, our work for freedom. This involves costs that are so far beyond astronomical, they take our breath away.

Yet this is not negotiable. The NYPD and our own security team have told us in no uncertain terms that specific measures must be taken.

We cannot rely on the Obama administration. The FBI has not even bothered to contact us. Clearly, if we held positions the administration favored, we would be under guard sent by the government right now. But we do not.

That means that it’s on us. And that means you, because we cannot do it without you. If you support our work, if you support the stand we have taken, we need your help now more than we ever did before. This is going to require a small army. And not just for the next month, but for the foreseeable future.

This is not just about protecting some people from being attacked and killed. This is about taking a stand and showing the world that violence, murder and threats will not win.

We need your help now more than ever. Now is the time. This is a gamechanger. This is a new era. Few have realized just how different everything is after Garland: now Americans will have to watch their back every time they do anything that Muslim fanatics think “offends Islam.”

Strike a blow against that. Strike a blow for freedom. Every dime will be used for security — nothing else. Send your tax-deductible donation via Paypal to americanfreedomdefense@aol.com — go here. Or send to:

    Muslims kill and threaten to kill people who challenge their facists ideology- and too many western leaders fold and give into Islamic demands.With a pro Jihadist in the White House (possibly an outright Muslim), and a weak pro Muslim it 10 Downing Street, dont expect any legislation in the near future to stand up to Islamofascism- if anything, brave people like Pamela Gellar, Robert Spennder, Geert Wolders and Pat Condell may find the weight of western law NOTused to to protect them, but to condemn them.
    What needs to happen is more people need to stand up and speak out. Muslims have ,made it clear- They WILL kill people. Will the west fall to its knees and give in ? Islam is the Naziism of our time, and the Nazis cannot be allowed to win

      Well said, Richie, but as far as I have read, Obummer IS Muslim. Did you see how he salutes his evil brothers… lifting one finger… and then the way he is sooo disrespectful of the flag and the constitution… this traitor is way too big for his boots…bought with the tax money of patriots – and then he betrays them.
      NO, there will be nothing about on your knees, Richie, in the US and here in England. IT IS VITAL THAT THE PEOPLE GET UP OFF THEIR KNEES! AND TAKE A STAND!! AND GET RID OF TRAITORS!! ASAP!!

    The left totally misses the point about Islam, They seem obvlivious or willfully ignorant to the fact Islam is a supremacist religion that openly condones oppression of others and the use of violence, plus demands a superior status over all other religions. What happened to Rushdie, Gellar, Wilders and Spencer is a taste of what happens when you stand up to Islam. You are threatened with murder. Yet the left just brushes it aside- When will leftists (such as pro gay liberals) see that Muslims will have no problem killing them too? NOTHING will change untill an open public discussion about Islam is held. If we are not even willing to name the enemy, then we have already lost the war

    “Why Won’t Pamela Geller Shut Up?”

    Basically BECAUSE Pamela Geller has the “Chutzpah” to Speak out and EXPOSE Islam for what it IS, and the Islamists and the Radical Mainstream apparent “Muslim Pandering” Media doesn’t like that.

    THEY want to “Ban” and “Criminalize” it as “Blasphemy, “Islamophobia” and “Hate Speech”.

    However THEY have NO problems when ANY other Non Islamic Faith or Belief IS “Blasphemed” and “Demeaned” with ISLAMIC “Slurs” and “Hate Speech”.

    THEY prefer ONLY “Pro Islam” Speech that advances the cause Islam, such as Taqiyya and Kitman, Islamic Qur’an condoned, Lying and Deception, which is really by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them, with Islam’s “Grand Deception” Lies.

      May 14, 2015 at 12:22 pm

      Respect is a one way street with Islam. because Muslims feel islam is superior to all other religions, Muslims see nothing wrong with speaking ill of all other religions. But Muslims are intollerant of any criticism of Islam. And criticism of Islam is not name calling , its often pointing out relalities that Islam advocates and carry out violence and promotes oppression of women. They dont like people to question them in any way.

      People seem to miss the irony that Muslims usually react to claims that Islam is a violent and oppressive religion by threatening to kill and oppress the people who make such claims

    Well if we can’t have 100% free speech why bother with 100% multiculturalism. Simply allow only cultures that actually believe in that concept. Islam certainly does not and in fact simply uses it’s freedoms to further the cause of Islam.

    • abad says

      May 14, 2015 at 6:07 pm

      Mainly because Islam has nothing to do with multiculturalism. Therein lies the problem not only for the United States of America, but western Europe, too (and Eastern Europe), Asia, everywhere else in the world………

    “We cannot rely on the Obama administration. The FBI has not even bothered to contact us. Clearly, if we held positions the administration favored, we would be under guard sent by the government right now. But we do not.”

    To Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and anyone else who is affected by this death fatwa-

    Security is expensive. So expensive that you can go broke and then end up having no security at all. You probably already know this but I suggest anyway that you budget monies towards security and only buy the security that the budget allows.

    Also, petition the courts for security. The Govt has to provide security to citizens who are in physical danger because of their exercising the rights guaranteed by the US Constitution. This is what we the people pay taxes for! Hence, please consult legal experts.

    Ordinary Americans have to make a choice: Pamela or John the Jihadist. It isn’t funny now.

    If Muslims won’t support freedom, they are incompatible with free countries.

    May 15, 2015 at 6:22 pm

    Things like this are not only ignorant and arrogant but…impotent to bring about anything positive, as was pointed out here:

    http://theyflyblog.com/2015/05/11/the-dangerous-arrogance-and-ignorance-of-pamela-geller/

    Think about it this way, if because of even the recent abuses of children and the bombing of abortion clinics, killing of doctors, etc., some group was to go and do a comparable cartoon exhibit defaming “Jesus Christ”, the imaginary savior of the Christian religions, would it stop either the abusers in the Church or the radical Christian killers? Of course not.

    But it would inflame lots of innocent Christians. And while people would like to say that the degenerate radical fundamentalist Islamic terrorists are worse, the plain fact is that more children (and women) have been abused by the Catholic Church, right here in this country, than by Islam.

    So while all the would-be Rambos salivate at the opportunity to shoot off their mouths as well as their guns, such foolhardiness as Ms. Geller encourages not only increases her as a target but also any and all other people, innocent people who’d happen to be around when the next batch of killers shows up…and probably not just a couple of incompetents with rifles.

    Strategically, tactically…effectively, this false bravado is worse than useless, it only guarantees more bloodshed.

  18. underbed cat says

    May 16, 2015 at 9:46 am

    m horn…..Think about it this way, Islamic Sharia law is for muslims….your arrogance is showing. Who really salivates for terror? Just so you know the word “hate” means to dislike not to kill. A religious obligation to kill the person who offends will never be peaceful or trustworthy, so I guess when they get the “sudden jihad” they might find sudden opposition.

    • Michael Horn says

      May 16, 2015 at 12:54 pm

      uc,

      Please she me exactly what real good, what real effect against terrorism this idiocy produces.

      One certainly doesn’t have to agree with or support Sharia law or any aspects of any religions. But what is the real, actual, positive effect of simply offending and defaming ALL of the people of a given belief system?

      It’s an obviously impotent, ineffective means of doing anything except venting anger, making more people targets, recruiting more terrorists, etc.

      • Angemon says

        May 16, 2015 at 1:40 pm

        Michael Horn posted:

        “Please she me exactly what real good, what real effect against terrorism this idiocy produces.”

        According to Michael Horn, bringing the subject of freedom of expression and raising awareness of what’s being taught to muslims in America is “idiocy”. Why is it idiocy? Well, because Michael Horn, who barged in, insulted almost everyone (if not everyone) he came in contact with and refused to have a rational discussion on the subject (I believe he might disagree with that assertion but I stand by my words: insulting people and repeating the same inane bullet points over and over does not constitute rational discussion) says so. And we should believe him, or else he’ll insult us under the most laughably flimsy excuses (like the username one posts under), just to drive his point home.

        Let’s apply Michael’s “logic” to other scenarios.

        Hosting a cartoon exhibit about cigarettes causing cancer, and including several speakers well informed on the subject, is “idiocy because it does nothing to stop cigarettes from causing cancer.

        Hosting a cartoon exhibit about how drunk driving kills people, and including several speakers well informed on the subject, is “idiocy” because it does nothing to stop people from driving drunk.

        Hosting a cartoon exhibit about excessive exposure to sun and skin cancer, and including several speakers well informed on the subject, is “idiocy” because it does nothing to stop excessive exposure to sun from causing skin cancer.

        Having a former drug addict speaking in a high school about how drugs ruined his life is “idiocy” because it does not prevent drugs from ruining people’s lives.

        Having a fireman running a training seminar on how to avoid fire hazards in one’s house is “idiocy” because it doesn’t prevent houses from burning down.

        Having a large sign saying “Beware of pickpockets” in a heavily tourist-frequented area is “idiocy” because it doesn’t prevent pickpockets from pickpocketing tourists.

        I could go on and on, but I believe my point is proved – Michael Horn is just another run-of-the-mill dhimmi tripping over himself to please the people who would stab him in the neck (per quran 47:4). Why, indeed, would one bring attention to the subject of islamic supremacy creeping in America? What’s there to be gained from it, right?

        It’s obvious that Michael has a problem with freedom of expression, and no qualms about using thuggish tactics to bully and try to silence whoever doesn’t conform by what his vision of the world should be.

        Well, Michael, if the exhibit caused at least one people in America to become aware of the connection between islam and terrorism, I’d say it was more than worth it to have the exhibit. And, of course, there’s the matter of the two dead terrorists – those two muslim losers will never go jihadi on a Jewish supermarket, like happened in France. But let me guess: having a Jewish supermarket is “idiocy” because not only it does nothing to fight terrorism, it also enrages the terrorists.

        “But what is the real, actual, positive effect of simply offending and defaming ALL of the people of a given belief system?”

        I believe I asked you this in the other topic and got no answer. Exactly, how are they “defaming” ALL muslims? Yes, I said muslims. Not “ALL of the people of a given belief system” but “muslims”. That’s who we’re talking about here. Explain to me how Pamela or Robert, while hosting an exhibit in America about ONE person who, as far as we know, probably didn’t even exist (and even if he did, he’s long dead and decomposed), insulted or defamed, for example, all those people in Afghanistan who will never know that the exhibit took place.

        “It’s an obviously impotent, ineffective means of doing anything except venting anger, making more people targets, recruiting more terrorists, etc.”

        Right, I bet that if the exhibit didn’t took place those two dead muslim losers would continue being model citizens and paragons of tolerance, wiling to lay their lives, fortunes and sacred honor in the defense of freedom of speech in America…
