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

Islamic State to Muslims in the Balkans: “Either join it here, or kill there”

Jun 5, 2015 8:58 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic StateHow did these misunderstanders of Islam get the crazy idea that jihad had something to do with killing? Every Western authority knows that the Islamic State has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam, but do any of them ever stop and ponder, even for a moment, why it is that the Islamic State appeals to Muslims on the basis of its understanding of Islam, confident that its appeal will find a receptive hearing among them? Whence this confidence in the appeal of what Western analysts assume to be a twisted and hijacked version of the religion?

“ISIL tells Balkan Muslims to ‘either join it here, or kill there,'” Balkans.com, June 5, 2015:

The Islamic State has published a propaganda video that threatens Balkan countries and calls on Muslims to either join it, or launch attacks in the Balkans.

The video, titled “Honor is in jihad, a message to the Balkans”, has been published by the Alhayat Media Center – a propaganda center established to reach audiences in the West with Islamic messages.

The video, that lasts a little over 22 minutes, has an English language narrator talking about the history of the Balkans, while showing historical footage, and about the Muslim communities in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania “and other countries in the region.”

Members of the Islamic State who came from the Balkans are shown, with several of them calling on other Muslims to go to Iraq and Syria, “where they can safely and with dignity live with their families.”

Among the identified Islamists are Abu Bilkis, aka Al Albani and Abu Mukatil, aka Al Kosovo, as well as Abu Muhammad al Bosni.

    Robert, with the recent FOIA Pentagon papers making the circle complete with Jimmy Carter’s Mujahadeen and ISIS, is it time to realize that the U.S. has historically targeted the Muslim world for subjugation? Being mindful of atrocities such as the Armenian Genocide, wasn’t WWI over oil, as were elements of WWII, and every subsequent mideast conflict spawned by the west?

    In light of this article, it would seem that Standard Oil is ISIS, with the admittedly brutal Islamic religion adherents’ unwitting actions being orchestrated by our Uberlords.

      I’m suprised that you would have such a left leaning, and still use “Rev”. It may come as a shock to you, but the world actually has an agenda of it’s own. it has experienced many wars and conflicts that had nothing to do with oil or even less to do with the US. We don’t need to go to war for oil, although it’s a good idea, because we have plenty here
      If I remember history correctly, our run-in with the barbery pirates and libya, had to do with them “pirate-ting” US shipping and enslaving the crews.
      WWI was a european conflict, and our alliance drew us into it later. The reality of it was that this was another in a series of unresolved euro-turkish-russia conflicts. I still can’t tell the diff between the Crimean wars and ww1. The axis powers were the ones who needed oil because they had no resources. I don’t remember when but it wasn’t until recently that we became dependent on me petroleum. We did get involved in denying axis’s posession of it.
      I do think it peculiar that with all the accusations of us usuing militarty force to “take oil” form everyone, we haven’t a drop of anyone’s yet! It would have been a great idea, but we ain’t that smart.
      As far as “subjugateing the mudslime world” why? They ain’t got nothing that we want. Mudslimes doen’t want the mudslime world! We didn’t know there was a mudslime world until WW2. We knew a little about turkey/attaturk, but that’s about it.
      Maybe you should stick to the history of the OT/NT. That study will simplify most of what is going on today.
      Quit spending so much time downing the US, there are plenty of other countries to express real grievances over..

      Have you ever heard of the “Battle of Tours”732AD? This is a great place to start.
      This is part of the mudslime never ending attempts to subjugate the west!

    Honor is in jihad

    Maybe, but you have to dig really deep to find any…Raping , robbing, murdering, beheading children and ravaging the land, is honorable if you are the devil or a pious Mahoundian…

    Does it tell of the brutality and bloodshed committed by pious muslims against the native people of the Balkans? I suspect not.

    What part of this is a global war against American imperialism
    Hell bent on keeping the muslim world poor, subjugated and in
    Constant, never ending conflict. The biggest tragedy is that muslims
    Can’t recognize this us – created ISIS for what it is. Real muslims
    Don’t kill innocent people or other muslims. What does that tell you?
    Imperialism and propaganda for dumbed down americans….

        Oh of course you said ”Muslims dont kill innocent people OR OTHER Muslims”. So as long as you have a scapegoat, you get to kill. Brilliant.

      The muslim world was poor, subjugated and wrapped in never ending conflict long before the US existed. And if not for innovations originating from the US, there would be no oil money into muslim countries and they’d still be living in the 7th century.

      “Real muslims
      Don’t kill innocent people or other muslims. What does that tell you?

      It tels me that you’re couldn’t be consistent up save your life. One day you openly support the islamic state, another day you revile them. I just can’t tell which of those days you took your meds.

The biggest tragedy is that muslims Can’t recognize this us – created ISIS for what it is. Real muslims Don’t kill innocent people or other muslims.”

      1) Americans ( CIA ) gave special weapons to the Afghan Taliban to destroy Russian tanks and helicopters. Americans also nailed Moammar Qaddafi, freeing the Libyans from totalitarian rule. Both countries became hellholes of Muslims killing other Muslims. But America freed Aghanistan and Libya from Russia and Qaddafi.

      2) President Obama supported the presidency of Islamist Morsi in Egypt. But Morsi’s incompetent Islamists started drawing down the treasury very quickly. Egypt would have gone broke within two years. The Egyptian military stepped in to prevent economic collapse and social upheaval. This anti-Islamist move was NOT American. Blame the Egyptians and the Muslims for taking out Morsi.

      3) Delusional Muslims in many parts of the world think the US “created Islamic State”. The US supported Taliban, not al-Qaeda or Islamic State. The US has always fought both these terror organizations. Muslims want desperately to think they are not in a huge Sunni vs. Shia civil war in Syria and Iraq. This is a Sunni vs. Shia war, and a Sunni vs the World war. Islamic State wants a chunk of Europe.

      4) The US didn’t kill people in Iran. The Ayatollah’s people slaughtered three to eight to fifteen thousand intellectuals when Shia Islam came to power. And the Iran / Iraq war may have cost up to a million lives. The US had nothing to do with it. It was Muslim vs. Muslim slaughter.

      5) The US broke the evil Baathist regime in Iraq in nothing flat, freeing the Iraqi people. But large sections of the Baathist regime loyalists joined with Islamic State. That’s why the Islamic State is a professional military organization. The bloodthirsty Baathists joined with the psychopathic Salafists.

      6) The Islamist Seleka in central Africa were only fifteen percent of the population in C.A.R. They tried to take over the military and the country last year. The Christians were fifty percent, and they fought back and won. They destroyed the mosques and drove out all the Muslims. This was self-defense and the US was never involved.

      7) The military and government of Buddhist Myanmar have forced out many tens of thousands of poor Muslim Rohingya. That was not US action. Buddhist Thailand is fighting Islamist insurgents in the south who attack police stations and kill schoolteachers. That is not US action.

      8) It is official Islamic Law ( Sharia ) that says apostates – those who leave Islam – must be killed. Under Islamic law they are traitors who always deserve death. Under impartial secular law, the apostates are innocent. Sharia law in Muslim countries like Egypt and Malaysia etc. basically always says that a person born into a Muslim family is required to be Muslim and cannot choose another faith or atheism. This is a life prison sentence. Islam is a prison, and the penalty for trying to leave the prison of Islamic fascism is death. Children ARE innocent from birth and circumstances of birth do not support this religious fascism where children have no freedom of speech or belief or freedom of association.

      9) Slavery and abduction of women and children has been a key part of Islam and jihad from the beginning. The 2014 Boko Haram abduction and enslavement of over 260 Christian girls in Chibok Nigeria is standard Islam, nothing new. All those fourteen year old girls were innocent. Now they are slaves to Islam, converted at gunpoint. Neither the US nor Islamic State created Boko Haram, but fascist psychopathic Boko Haram is now part of fascist psychopathic Islamic State. And both operational groups are big on killing and abduction and slavery and selling women and girls. That’s Islam. Always has been.

      Jihad Attacks: 262 Countries: 25 Allah Akbars: 44
      Dead Bodies: 3277 Critically Injured: 1798

      11) It took four hundred years to kick the Muslims out of Spain. This whole century will be a time of war between civilization and Islam. It is a new chapter in the long war. The global war of Islam to rule Africa, South Asia, Europe, central Asia, and begin to destroy civilization in the West by cultural jihad and Sharia community courts and gradually increasing terrorism.

    When the sh!t hits the fan in the Balkans again, just watch the US bomb the Serbs in order to protect the “innocent Muslims”.
    The sad thing is that many Americans will fall for it again and cheer NATO on. Actually it was the US planes painted as NATO which were used along with depleted uranium but who cares, right? It was only those “genocidal Serbs” and they deserved it.
    The only people who are prepared to stand between Islam and civilisation are Serbs.
    They always have but history can be changed by CNN and BBC.
    This time as more people in the west know the truth, we have to make sure that we get the word out that Muslims must be defeated. Christianity must prevail or the Balkans will become another Constantinople.

    What Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi is saying here is sheet or get off the pot. He’s not impressed by fancy dancy flush toilets and the modern miracle of toilet paper, he knows what Allah his left hand there for. So the Balk Moslems need to either start acting like Moslems or maybe they get a few bombings in their neighborhood… aimed at them, not the Infidels.

    Hell, the Balkans is the home of the world’s newest nation, a Moslem nation, Kosovo. I remember that Jewish Congressman, a nice elderly fellow whom as I recall was a victim of the Holocaust, openly weeping with joy on the floor of the House, weeping with joy, sobbing for the new found freedom and independence he a Jew helped deliver to Moslems. As I saw the Jewish Congressman weeping with joy at Moslems being set free, I too was weeping, but for different reasons.

    Al-Baghdadi is right: be a man of your convictions. You’re Kosovoan Moslems, for chrissakes, get it together and go out and do a few mass murder slaughter jobs on Infidels, preferably Serbs, they’ve always understood Moslems, so much so that Dhimmi ex-Prez Bill threw them under the train and bombed their capital… to defend Moslems.

    No more blurbs, Moslems, kill some Serbs. Let’s go!

    The reason the Islamic state appeals to so many muslims, is because so many of them are sick psychopaths, which comes from extensive reading of the Quran.
