Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, the Koch brothers, Larry Ellison, Sheldon Adelson: none of them have done a thing to “provoke” this. They are not part of the U.S. government or military. They did not draw cartoons of Muhammad. Yet all too many people in the U.S. still believe that if they just do nothing to offend the Muslims, they will be spared. In reality, the jihadis are targeting everyone, without exception, and it is never justified to live on one’s knees.
“Al Qaeda Mag Urges Attack on Koch Brothers, Buffett, Bloomberg,” by Robert Windrem and Tracy Connor, NBC News, September 9, 2015:
A notorious al Qaeda magazine is encouraging lone-wolf terrorist attacks on U.S. economic leaders, including Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg and Warren Buffett.
The list in Inspire magazine also included industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch, internet entrepreneur Larry Ellison, and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. A prominent economist was also on the list but asked that his name be withheld. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke was named, though not Janet Yellen, who succeeded him.
Also pictured was Jim Walton, one of the heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune, although he was misidentified in the caption as his late father, Sam Walton. Several other names on the list were misspelled.
The slickly produced magazine article begins with a photo illustration showing blood-spattered pictures of several of the leaders next to a dripping gun. Its stated goal is to derail the “revival of the America Economy.”
The article says the “economic personalities” and “wealthy entrepreneurs” can get off the list by withdrawing their money from U.S. banks, investing their wealth outside American soil, and denouncing support for Israel….
Inspire magazine is published online by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and was once edited by American-raised jihadi Samir Khan, who was killed in 2011 drone attack along with cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
It’s best known for an article titled, “How To Make A Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom,” which provided a recipe for explosives….

Angemon says
Do as the followers of the “religion of peace” say and set yourself up for further, even more outrageous demands, or else…
somehistory says
I read the names to someone, and the reply, “Sounds like all the wealthiest people.”
Maybe they think these guys will try to buy themselves off the list. Money is needed by everyone, even those seeking death for all others and pretending they too wish to bite the dust. Money buys a lot of ammo and weapons and they also have to eat. Can’t get it all from selling illegal drugs or from selling slaves.
The beast of islam, satan’s child, has cravings.
Jay Boo says
These people would be wise to fund anti-jihad

Funny, I don’t see Bill Gates’ Four Seasons Hotel partner Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal’s name on the list; he of the: Saudi Prince Threatens Payback for Giuliani Snub (posted 10/12/01 … FAME

Oct 12, 2001 – … Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s refusal to accept his $10 million dollar check for the Twin Tower … Upon hearing about the bin Talal’s press release, Giuliani condemned the …. Yep, return his check, then freeze his assets in the USA.

I had so much respect for Giuliani’s anti-dhimmi actions.

So the crocodile isn’t going to eat the traitorous appeasers last, after all.

The article says the “economic personalities” and “wealthy entrepreneurs” can get off the list by withdrawing their money from U.S. banks, investing their wealth outside American soil, and denouncing support for Israel….
In other words: Divestment from the evil American capitalist system, spreading the wealth around to other countries (AKA social justice), and lastly, boycotting and divestment from Israel.
Tell me again, how is mainstream leftism different than any of these positions, exactly?
fido says
Well… Bill Gates alone could finance an army powerful enough to pistol whip these islamo-clowns into hell. Pooling their funding altogether this group could easily finance the paying off of one half of the al qaeda azzholes who are into it only for the power and loot to shoot the other half and then retire themselves on the beach with 70 virgins apiece. Perhaps the greatest advantage the rest of the world has against the islamo-scourge is the inherent rot at the core of the whole satan inspired ideology. Death becomes them.

“…In reality, the jihadis are targeting everyone, without exception, and it is never justified to live on one’s knees…”
Too, too true.

I’m interested in the other articles on that magazine cover. I wonder what “The Blacks in America” article is about? Given the history of Muslim and Arab slave trading of black people up to the present day, I would imagine it’s nothing pretty.
Paul Ashley says
It would see that al-qaeda is seeking to garner sympathy from the American Left by targeting those the latter despises. They know that the Left are nothing if no useful idiots.
DiMu says
Funding anti-jihad is a total waste of time as Muslims are encouraged to lie. And look where funding bin Laden got us!
Jay Boo says
If you buy Robert spencer’s latest book you will be funding anti-jihad.
To imply that bin Laden is anti jihad is ridiculous.
You need to do a better job with your thought transitions.

Good post, Jay Boo.
Mirren10 says
DiMu, I think ‘funding anti-jihad’ refers to doing things like buying Mr Spencer’s and Miss Geller’s books, donating to JW, ActforAmerica, etc.
It doesn’t have anything to do with, for example, donating to nonsensical schemes purporting to ‘de-radicalise’ muslims, who, as you truly note, always lie. * That * funding is being done for you, through your taxes !
Is there any evidence that the US government funded bin laden ?
underbed cat says
I have a question, does the FBI call the people that are on the list? How do they get notified that they may have a serious safety problem?
Robert says
Al-Qaeda stated two decades ago, before 9/11, that its main mission is to kill as many Westerners as possible. Civilians, not the military, is their main target. Robert at OSINT News: http://www.osintdaily.blogspot.com

So true.
Threesixteen says
Some people think that if they don’t say anything against Islam, they are safe. They are deluded. Quran commands Muslims to war against non-Muslims. Non-Muslims are regarded as filth.
daniel sebold says
Gee. They have already taken their wealth out America and put it into China, so let them off the hook
