“The best acts that bring you closer to God are jihad, so hurry to it and make sure to carry out the invasion this holy month and be exposed to martyrdom in it,” Adnani said. Perhaps some moderate Muslim spokesman in the West will kindly explain how Adnani and the Islamic State are getting jihad and Ramadan all wrong. But I won’t be holding my breath.
“IS calls for jihad, martyrdom during Ramadan,” AFP, June 24, 2015:
Baghdad – Islamic State group spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani called on Tuesday for Muslims to engage in jihad and become martyrs during the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
Adnani also announced an amnesty for people who fought against IS in Iraq’s Anbar province, and called on residents who had fled violence there to return home.
“The best acts that bring you closer to God are jihad, so hurry to it and make sure to carry out the invasion this holy month and be exposed to martyrdom in it,” Adnani said in an audio message posted online.
“These are your weapons and this is Ramadan.”
Ramadan, which began last week, is the holy month in the Muslim calendar during which believers observe a fast from dawn to sunset every day.
Adnani repeated a call by IS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi for those who fled Anbar, where IS seized provincial capital Ramadi last month, to return.
“Oh people of Anbar, return to your homes and go back to your people,” he said.
According to the International Organization for Migration, more than 275,000 people fled the Ramadi area between April and mid-June.
Adnani also announced a “last chance” for tribesmen, soldiers and police, calling on them to “repent” and surrender their weapons as a sign of good faith.
He singled out the Jughaifa tribe that is besieged in the town of Haditha, saying it faces utter destruction if it does not surrender.
If they do not “repent”, then “for generations those passing Haditha will say: ‘The Jughaifa were here, and their houses’.”…

We call on Abu Mohammed al-Adnani to lead myrtyrdom by example. No real leader asks others to do what he has not done.
mortimer says
I second that.
Most Muslims want someone else to participate in jihad, because their faith in Islam is weak.

Came to say this. thanks, gents.
TheBuffster says
It would be very foolish to take these snakes at their word. Besides, why would anyone want to go back and live under the tyranny that IS represents?
They just want slaves to keep their Islamic state functioning.

I wouldn’t hold my breath as there is no such thing as a moderate muslim,they all read from the same book of hell,and if isis was wiped out the other muslims would take their place,it is a waste of time thinking you can compromise with muslims as you carnt,the only way to get out of this mess is to ban Islam in all but Islamic country’s.Why do they come here claiming asylum too get away from the sharia courts and caliphates,when they want the same here,it is an invasion,but the powers that be are too thick to notice,although there could always be a bigger picture,but personally i do not think Islam has any positive role to play in the UK so should be banned!

Ramadan is a time for piety. What better way to show devotion to allah than engaging in jihad?
BC says
Ramadan is a huge con and farce. It is supposed to give them the experience of being poor and hungry.
In fact they gorge before sunrise and gorge after sunset. Most of them put on weight during Ramadan
so they are not experiencing poverty in the least. Yes there may be a few who follow it sincerely but I suspect they are the minority.

This statement is very consistance with teachings of Islam. If a Muslim, who is observing Ramadan dies due to any reason in this month goes to heaven directly by-passing judgement day. Muhammad said ” during Ramadan gates of hell are closed and gates of heaven are open. If you combine death in this month in combination with Jihad, you just can’t go wrong. This is the reason many Muslims don’t take any medications during this month.
Got to give to Khaifa Baghdadi he is a phd in Islam

Islamic State spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani: “The best acts that bring you closer to God are jihad.”
That’s what makes Islam a Death Cult.
The problem is Islam per se. Muslims are in a massive denial of how bad Islam really is.
Islam is ISIS. ISIS is Islam.

The statement is important that it should be reiterated. Which is that the evil and madness of suicide/homicide attacks which the jihadists in their strong delusion call a “martyrdom operations” is the outcome of the weird and nonsensical Islamic doctrine from the Koran, 44:54. 5:56. 78:31. of a sex-filled-paradise with many virgins,houris, in it for the male Muslim who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam as a “martyr.” This strange ,bizarre and far-fetched Koranic doctrine of a sex filled place with virgins had inspired much murder and mayhem. In other words this odd and outlandish Islamic doctrine has causes a lot of murderous chaos. The French philosopher, Voltaire, had explained things well when he wrote that “As long as men continue to believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.”
Michael Copeland says
Jihad? Yes. A recording made in a Bangladesh mosque explains Jihad, and shows why we non-Muslims are NOT ALLOWED IN to hear the sermons:
“Here we teach jihad. Those, who have the correct knowledge of jihad, are best Muslims. We teach how to stab one with a knife, how to make bombs and grenades, how to operate pistols and guns and how to kill one by cutting his veins. Jihad is not possible without this knowledge. We teach holy terror, divine terror and terror for entering Allah’s paradise.”

It is interesting to read the comment by Moses in Deuteronomy 17:3 because it relates well to what is currently happening with Islam. In this verse, he takes a fierce stance against worship around the stars,
threatening the Jews with death if they do it. What he is doing with the Jews would not be fair unless doing this practice of worship around the stars is in reality treason for a Jew because those who do it are much more violent against the Jews then those who don’t worship around the stars. When these star worshipers murder at a much higher rate then those who don’t, they are not really defeating the Bible, in fact they are fulfilling it and proving Moses right.

Islamic State group spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani is not practicing what he is preaching.
I am waiting for his martyrdom.
