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

Islamic State blows up natural gas pipeline in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula

Jun 1, 2015 8:44 am By Robert Spencer

gas pipeline explosionAnsar Beit al-Maqdis (Champions of Jerusalem) pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in November 2014.

“Militants blow up natural gas pipeline in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, security officials say,” Associated Press, May 31, 2015:

EL-ARISH, Egypt – Security officials in Egypt say suspected Islamic militants have blown up a natural gas pipeline outside el-Arish, the provincial capital of North Sinai.

The officials say authorities stopped the flow of the gas to extinguish the fire after the blast, which happened early Sunday morning.

No group immediately claimed the attack. However, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, or “Champions of Jerusalem,” a jihadi group based in the Sinai Peninsula, has claimed responsibility for more than a dozen similar bombings and attacks on security forces. It pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group late last year….

Egypt’s state news agency MENA said the pipeline supplies natural gas to a power station and homes in el-Arish.

    Closet Muslim Obama must be whooping with joy! This will make the Egyptian government look weak against ISIS, giving the Muslim Brotherhood more kudos.

      That wouldn’t surprise me one bit, Brian. Obama has left quite clear which side his bread is buttered on.

      For Muslims it is thrilling and fun to destroy things and kill people. The MSM and Obama like their style. This is all Islam has to offer to those who join with them other than sex with goats and slave women. They are totally inhuman worthless barbarians who offer the world nothing except death and destruction. Those who join them are the same.

        It’s all they can do: destroy & kill. They do not plant, manufacture or invent any single thing.

    Ansar Beit al-Maqdis? Well, you learn about a new groups of violent moslems misunderstanding Islam all them time, don’t you? Never heard of these people before. Notice they, for some reason, share the same misunderstanding of Islam that the Islamic State, which has nothing to do with Islam, does. What a strange coincidence!

    The way to handle the destructive, vicious and malice-filed thugs who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS is by the use of many very strong powers of military might. As Thomas Jefferson had so well stated “With every barbarous people…force is law.”

    Have you ever wondered why it’s OK to make jokes about Catholics, the Pope, Jews, Christians, the Irish, the Italians, the Polish, the Chinese, the French (including French Canadians), the elderly, bad golfers, men/women,blacks/whites, etc, but its ”insensitive” to make jokes about Muslims?

    Jeff Foxworthy on Muslims

    1. If you refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to liquor, You may be a Muslim.

    2. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can’t afford shoes, You may be a Muslim.

    3. If you have more wives than teeth, You may be a Muslim.

    4. If you wipe your butt with your bare hand but consider bacon to be unclean, You may be a Muslim.

    5. If you think vests come in two styles: Bullet-proof and suicide. You may be a Muslim.

    6. If you can’t think of anyone you haven’t declared jihad against, You may be a Muslim.

    7. If you consider television dangerous but routinely carry explosives in your clothing, You may be a Muslim.

    8. If you were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs, You may be a Muslim.

    9. If you have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four, You may be a Muslim.

    If you find this offensive and don’t forward it – you are part of the problem in America!
