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

Al-Qaeda praises Garland, Chattanooga jihadis, calls for more “lone jihad” attacks

Aug 5, 2015 4:42 am By Robert Spencer

If and when lone jihadis murder more Americans, law enforcement and government officials will once again gather around and scratch their heads, saying they have no earthly idea what the killer’s motive could possibly have been.

“Al Qaeda branch calls for new attacks against United States,” by Dugald McConnell and Brian Todd, CNN, August 4, 2015 (thanks to Paul):

Al Qaeda’s branch in Yemen, which officials have called the terror group’s most dangerous affiliate, has issued two threatening new communiques praising recent lone-wolf style attacks against the West and calling for more of them.

“We urge you to strike America in its own home and beyond,” says a letter attributed to Ibrahim al-Asiri, the master bomb-maker with al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

The letter, according to a translation by SITE Intelligence Group, states, “America is first.”

CNN is unable to independently verify that Asiri himself wrote it, but the letter has drawn the attention of terror trackers such as MEMRI, Flashpoint and SITE.

A U.S. counterterrorism official described the letter as “consistent with rhetoric the new leader stated upon taking over al Qaeda’s most active affiliate that is known to threaten Western interests.”…

Intelligence officials say Asiri was a key player in the 2009 Christmas Day bomb attempt in which a passenger from Africa almost managed to detonate a bomb aboard a Detroit-bound plane that he’d hidden in his underwear. Asiri was also behind the placing of bombs in printer cartridges aboard planes headed for the United States that were intercepted before they reached their targets.

He even designed a bomb to be carried on the body of his own brother, Abdullah al-Asiri, in attempt to kill Saudi Arabia’s counterterrorism chief in 2009. The bomb killed his brother, but the Saudi minister survived….

Another senior AQAP leader, Khalid Batarfi, is featured in a second threatening video.

He praises the July attack in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in which a gunman killed five American servicemen at a military installation, as “a blessed Jihadi operation.” And he also praises two gunmen who tried to mount an attack in Garland, Texas, in May for their “sacrifice and heroism.”

“Blood for blood,” Batarfi says in a speech posted online.

He then encourages further lone-wolf attacks against America and the West. “To the warriors of Lone Jihad: may Allah bless and guide your efforts,” he says.…

    Despite all of the humanity that I can muster within me, there is but one word that comes to mind when I force myself to look at this totally disgusting POS — FILTH! FILTH! FILTH! Oops, I guess that was three words!

    While al-Qaeda in Yemen has called for more attacks by lone-wolves in the United States, ISIS has done the same in its latest edition of “Dabiq,” its online magazine:

    “Thus we renew our call to the sincere Muslims around the world to march forth and wage war against the crusaders and apostates who seek to wipe out the Shari’ah. March forth, neither fearing the blame of the critics, nor seeking the pleasure of the people, for the hukm belongs to Allah, not the people.”

    “Dabiq,” edition 10, is entitled, “Ramadan.” There is, in its some 80 pages, a reference lauding the attacks at both Chattanooga and Garland. The majority of its content deals with the history of battle successes achieved by Muhammad during the Ramadan. Additional articles promote jihad, based on hadiths cited ad nauseam.

    All “Dabiq” editions (1-10) may be downloaded at following link:
    http://www.clarionproject.org/news/islamic-state-isis-isil-propaganda-magazine-dabiq#

    Notably, ISIS, in its latest edition, states that al-Qaeda’s leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has no power and Mullah Omar’s replacement [Mullah Akhtar Mansoor ] does not have the authority that is invested in Abu Bakr, the Caliph.

    With both al-Qaeda and ISIS calling for attacks in America, more lone-wolf attacks most assuredly will occur. When they do, we can save the investigators untold hours of tracking down leads on potential motives . . . a quick read of “Dabiq” should narrow the list immensely and promptly.

    “Al Qaeda branch calls for new attacks against United States,”

    Jihad is the standard, normative protocol for EXPANDING Islam.

    Homeland Security better look into a protocol for deprogramming Muslims from the standard, normative JIHAD DOCTRINE of Islam.

    Islam per se is the problem.

    Saudi Arabia’s Salafist theology created these monsters, so Saudi Arabia should clean them up.

    This is where cognitive dissonance must become intense! Saudi Arabia created a Frankenstein and now is being forced to kill it.

    If they have to kill their own offspring, WHERE DID THE SAUDI SALAFIST THEOLOGY GO WRONG?

    What is wrong with the Islamic doctrine of vigilante jihad that derives from Mohammed himself?

    Of course it’s the same old story the motive for killing infidels is jihad. Muzzie supremacists want to rule the world. But our idiotic politicians in Europe and the U.S. turn a blind eye. It can’t go on like that we’ve got to get rid of the scum

    Some Muslims may be attracted to lone wolfism for glamour by infamy, or should i say glamour by murder.
    Muslims must be proper brainwashed to do that, and are obviously victims of the Islamic entity.
    They are victims of a life that has less compassion than a tiger killing a monkey.
    To kill a person, because of some outdated book, is to propagate evil that from whence it comes someone must know.

    There is ample evidence that the obama administration is totally islamophilic and even tho muslims are barely 2% of the population there are so many of them that are heavily funded by the wealthy islamists of the middle east that they can spin propaganda all day long while we anti jihadists have to scrape and beg to fund our efforts to fend of islam. The fact that the saudi prince alWaleed is going to donate his 32billion$ ( we infidels help make him rich !) to spread islamic propaganda and hasten the islamization of america and canada and the west should alarm everyone……however i betcha majority of the public is still clueless or comastose when it comes to the true nature of the beast – islam !

    Hello everyone who loves freedom,

    please share and make go viral via internet, social media , twitter etc, this article or at east the link by the Q society of australia. I find this article very succinct and tells everything about islam in a nutshell, we need everyone and their brother and their dogs ( and cats 🙂 to read this . We need to wake up the clueless and comatose public in the west ! thank you and may the force be with us all !

    WHY WE OPPOSE ISLAM !

    PLEASE SHARE AND ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO ENGAGE IN A CONSTANT LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN TO ALL NEWS MEDIA, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, OP ED, EDITORIAL ETC OF LOCAL,REGIONAL, STATE, NATIONAL AND EVEN INTERNATIONAL NEWS MEDIA

    ADDRESS THE THREAT OF ISLAM AND SHARIAH TO THE WELL BEING OF ALL FREE SOCIETIES.., THE IMPORTATION OF SHARIAH AND THE destruction of free societies consequent to uncontrolled muslim immigration.

    use the following material as composed by the Q society of australia . I think they say it all in a nutshell ( substitute american for australian , there is no copy-right to this information so i think one can reproduce it and share or publicize the contents or else use or incorporate the basic points mentioned in this article )

    http://qsociety.org.au/opposin… WHY WE OPPOSE ISLAM !

    Why We Oppose Islam
    So much more than just another religion

    Islam is not just a religion. It is also a political, legal, financial, social and military doctrine which extends to all facets of Muslim life, the cultural and legal landscape of where Muslims live and how to treat non-Muslims. Islam makes it obligatory for observant Muslims to assist in extending the rule of Islam across the world.

    For too long Islam has enjoyed immunity from necessary analysis, due criticism and debate because of its status as ‘just a religion’. Unfortunately, if we continue to tolerate Islam without understanding it, Australia /America as a free, secular democracy will be lost. How so?

    Islam tells Muslims not to integrate into non-Islamic countries

    Many world leaders are now resigned to this fact. Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew publicly stated “we can’t integrate Muslims”. British Prime Minister Cameron, French President Sarkozy and German Chancellor Merkel have also stated that multiculturalism has failed in respect to Muslims. This is because Islam teaches Muslims to avoid friendship or integration with non-Muslims (who are ‘infidel’ or ‘kafir’), leading to demands for Muslim-only lavatories, swimming pool sessions and prayer rooms in public building. Then there are demands for separate laws, separate food, separate finance, separate schools and much more. This is apartheid and shows contempt for America’s/Australia’s values of respect, tolerance and equality. While some nominal Muslims do integrate, they are rejecting key tenets of Islam by doing so. For many others, choosing American/ Australian values over Islam is simply not possible; their loyalty is to Islam and the worldwide Muslim community first, their country second.

    Islamic culture is forced on the host nation

    History has shown that many Muslims will not embrace other cultures or join a ‘melting pot’. The culture of a host country must be suppressed or replaced, eventually becoming known as ‘the time of ignorance’. We already see Government, workplaces and schools recognising Islamic holidays, daily prayer times and special leave for hajj pilgrimage, amongst a myriad of other demands. Incrementally, halal food is imposed on everybody, sexes are segregated and huge mosques and their minarets built as a show of Islamic supremacy. Aspects of the dominant religion are sidelined or deemed ‘offensive’, anti-Semitism increases and history books are rewritten to favour Islam and denigrate the host country’s heritage. Slowly but surely our Judaeo-Christian values, ethics and customs are being replaced.

    Islam demands that Muslims obey and implement sharia law

    Islam is a totalitarian ideology that does not separate its law from its religious entity. As a consequence, Islamic sharia or ‘divine’ law undermines the separation of powers and the rule of law, concepts that are fundamental to our values and democracy and which cannot be compromised by erroneous ‘human rights’ or ‘freedom of religion’ claims.

    Moreover, it is an obligation of all Muslims to impose sharia law as the political and legal system of the state. The call for it to govern only Muslims is just a first step.

    Sharia law includes:Polygamy, with up to four wives and an unlimited number of concubines;

    Child marriage, as Mohammed (the ‘perfect example’ of mankind) married a 6 year old;

    Slavery, as agreed by all four schools of Sunni jurisprudence;

    Killing of those who leave Islam, adulterers, blasphemers, critics of Islam and homosexuals;

    Women and non-Muslims being second-class citizens and men can legally beat their wives;

    Parents going unpunished if they kill their children, making ‘honour killing’ legal;

    Punishments such as beheading, whipping, stoning, cutting off hands and throwing off buildings;

    The imposition of a humiliating tax on all non-Muslims to support the Islamic ruling class; and

    enforcement of Sharia being a right of each Muslim, encouraging vigilante street ‘justice’.

    Q Society ( we US citizens) reject/s any aspect of sharia law in America/Australia. Sharia law is a medieval and unchangeable legal code which reflects the seventh-century, Arabian desert-living practices of Mohammed. Sharia is the anathema to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    P.S.
    try to educate your retiree community about islam and the danger it poses to free society . Volunteer to give a talk to retirement communities, reach out to them in their local newspapers, be inventive and engaging, Volunteer to give a pep talk, many of the retired folks have children or relatives who may be connected to the miliitary .They may be conservative or liberal, it doesnt matter this involves everyone, Islam is an equal opportunity killer. The retirees are a formidable army at our disposat…many have good income and free time to engage in frequent letter writing and online campaign in social media to spread the word and organize for the defense of the republic. Recommend to them BNI and others such as

    http://www.barenakedislam.com
    http://www.actforamerica.com
    http://www.citizenwarror.com
    http://www.thereligionofpeace.com ……………….all this for starters

    you will be suprised how energetic retired folks can be ! lol
    Remember there are also a sizeabe % of retirees who were in the military and who fought off prior enemies of the US and defended the judeo -christisn, greco-roman, secular humanist civilization of today . We are currently faced with an imminent ancient foe that is awakening and attempting to devour us and our elected officials are still slumbering or running around in circles ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlvWXtDNnG4 )
