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

Spain: Muslim arrested for spreading Islamic State propaganda

Jul 5, 2015 8:03 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic State 12“The messages posted by the Moroccan invited those who could travel to join the caliphate, while urging those not able to come to Syria or Iraq to commit terrorist activities in the countries of their residence.” This will increasingly be a fact of life in the West.

“Spain Arrests Moroccan for Spreading ISIL Propaganda,” Sputnik International, July 4, 2015 (thanks to Jay):

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Spanish police arrested a Moroccan national on Saturday in the eastern municipality of Badalona for distributing jihadist propaganda and launching Islamic State (ISIL)-affiliated accounts in the internet, the Spanish Interior Ministry said on its website.

“The detained made his propaganda activities among his encirclement his major goal in order to increase the number of followers and potential ‘fighters.’ His activities aimed at demonstrating the IS’ operative capacity in the conflict zones, as well as their technical qualifications,” the statement read.

The messages posted by the Moroccan invited those who could travel to join the caliphate, while urging those not able to come to Syria or Iraq to commit terrorist activities in the countries of their residence.

The IS, in control of large swathes of Syrian and Iraqi territory, has recruited thousands of foreigners. The group’s propaganda on social networking websites especially targets young people.

At least 20,000 foreign fighters have joined ISIL so far, according to the US National Counterterrorism Center estimates.

In February, Spain’s Interior Ministry stated that police had arrested four people suspected of spreading Islamist propaganda. The following month, Spanish police detained eight suspected members of a jihadist cell, who selected people to be sent to Syria and Iraq.

    Spanish police arrested a Moroccan national

    Morocco is not that far off – find out whom he talked to, let him swim back and make sure to let the Moroccan authorities know he’s coming.

    For Spain and Portugal it would be a good idea to repeat the policy which was used after the Reconquista: Kick all the Muslims out from Andalusia – and this time: Once and for all!

    Un mundo sin Cruz sería un mundo sin esperanza, un mundo en el que la tortura y la brutalidad no tendrían límite, donde el débil sería subyugado y la codicia tendría la última palabra. Sin la Cruz la inhumanidad del hombre hacia el hombre se manifestaría de modo todavía más horrible, y el círculo vicioso de la violencia no tendría fin. Sólo la Cruz puede poner fin a todo ello. El Camino de la Cruz, que es el Camino del Amor, del perderse y del entregarse. Jesús es verdaderamente el Rey; que lo es precisamente porque permaneció en la Cruz. Pope BXVI

      Translation:

      A world without the Cross would be a world without hope, a world where torture and brutality would have no limit, where the feeble would be subjugated and greed would have the final word. Without the Cross, man’s inhumanity towards his fellow man would manifest itself in the most horrible way, and the vicious circle of violence would be endless. Only the Cross can put an end to all this. The path of the cross, which is the Path of Love, of losing oneself and giving oneself. Jesus is truly he King; which is precisely why he stayed in the Cross. Pope BXVI

        To Angemon- Thank you so much for translating what LA PEREGRINA wrote in Spanish. And in my opinion, for whatever it is worth, it is true, 100%. Life isn’t worth living without Jesus, God Incarnate.

    My idea is to let them go!!

    The so-called anti-Islamophobia movement was always built on a false premise. Muslims knew this – because those are things which only Muslims are supposed to know.

    The Islamic commandments to kill, fight against or subjugate the non-believer – how can any non-Muslim view that in a respectful way. And the idea behind claiming those who repeat these Koran sayings – are committing acts of racism – was that they were hoping – the image of Islam would remain untarnished – in the hopes of one day establishing – an Islamic state in the west.

    Baseless? Simply count the number of prominent Islamic organisations – in Europe and the US/ Australia & Canada – who have openly requested / stated that they wished for Sharia law – over free laws.

    For example – you would not hear Anjem Choudary talking about Islamophobia. For the purist it’s a silly game. He straight forwardly says – when this place finally becomes Islamic – if you don’t join Islam – you would not enjoy the same rights – and you will have to pay a tax.

    Muslims know – with all the chants of respect for this or that about Islam – the chances of a western nation becoming an Islamic state are slim. Anti-racism campaigns can only advance sharia so far.

    So when an Islamic State presents itself – with Caliphate and all – for some the choice is clear.

    Moderate Islam is a western creation – like a newborn baby – and many of the non-Muslim faithful – can be very protective of it.

    Muslims are getting the call to travel to the Islamic State and live the real Islam.

    Their migration – will actually remove some of the pressure off Europe in parts.

    Many Muslims might think – why fight for some moderate or watered down Islamic state here – when we can go and join a fundamentalist purist one over there.

    ::

    Given that they are allowed to leave – we must do like Australia and Canada and revoke some passports.

    With respect – they don’t want to be here!

    And those who are forced to remain – the chances of a violent attack is greatly increased.
