Note that the quotations at the beginning and the end of the statement are from the Qur’an (59:2 and 63:8). Note also that the entire document couches the Paris massacres in the framework of a supposed war by France and its allies against Islam and Muslims. Yet Western analysts and the mainstream media, in studying and discussing this statement, will first discount Islam as having anything to do with the motive for the attack, and try to read into this statement other meanings.

ISIS IS ISLAM; ISLAM IS ISIS!! There are ‘no radicals, no moderates, no extremes’. Just ISLAM!!
Baider says
I am a Muslim and i say fuck ISIS, By the name of God in Islam the mercy and the lover we are against Isis and they are not presenting us i wish i was there to protect every child and every mother and father. Rest in peace to all of you long live Paris.
john spielman says
there are definitely good secular muslims, but the problem with islam, inherent from its tenets, is that it always morphs into the more violent form as people become more fundamental in their understanding of the ways and sayings of muhammed. the biggest problem is islam’s works righteous theology where good works must out balance sins to get one into paradise. A muslim can never be certain of paradise by this- except by dying in jihad against unbelievers, which is the ONLY way to your paradise
john spielman says
oops i meant to say that “dying in jihad is the only way to GUARANTEE entrance to your paradise”
bewick says
I’m sure that there are good muslims. They tend to say that the extremists/fundamentalists are misinterpreting the koran and hadith. The extremists say exactly the same about them. When push comes to shove though the “moderates” have, throughout history, followed the orders of the extremists through sheer fear. That has frequently ended in them slaughtering their former friends and neighbours because they were either non muslim or the wrong sect. On BBC radio 4 today there were people arguing that islam needed a reformation just as christianity once experienced. They seemed unaware (even muslims) that the koran itself forbids any word to be changed or “reinterpreted” because it is “the divine word of God”. The Bible makes no such claim.
Fred says
Your ancestors were probably Christians or Zoroastrians possibly polytheists that were forced or coerced to become Muslim. This is almost certain. It is true in the vast majority of cases.This is not to say anything bad about your ancestors. Staying alive and feeding a family is important. Looking at the Old Testament you can see that Victory in War is not necessarily a sign of God/Allah’s help. The chosen people were conquered by unbelievers not because God favored the unbelievers but because the chosen people had turned away from God. Although Islam has some good aspects does it not seem overall to you as just being the wolf hidden behind sheep’s clothing?
dlbrand says
Baider, with due respect, why do you state you are a Muslim?
I assume it is because you believe in the Qur’an; is that so?
mahghan says
All he has to say about Islam and Muhammad is “I renounce and denounce thee” 3 times. Maybe he doesn’t know that Muhammad was a child rapist, killer, and violent desert bandit. Once anyone knows that, how can they remain Muslim? Unless they themselves are as depraved mentally as Muhammad.

You appear to be literate. When you find the time to learn elementary Islam, and how evil it really is, I trust that you will reveal yourself to be an apostate all along.
Champ says
Well, Baider, ISIS are following mohammad’s example of mass-murder, and ISIS are doing what the quran instructs, as well. So they are truly *devout* muslims. And YOU are lying.
Jay Boo says
Yes,
ISIS is just Islam without the veil.
boakai ngombu says
go talk to IS, ISIS, ISIL, Baider, since they’re the ones in need of correction. wring your heartfelt grief out in their presence. and, good luck.
mortimer says
Baider wrote: “I am a Muslim.”
In what way is he a Muslim? Mohammed said that when Muslim “give up conducting jihad, Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your original religion. – Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455
Does he believe that it is a ‘disgrace’ to avoid jihad? If not, he is a ‘hypocrite’ (munafiq) who should be executed.

“I am a Muslim and i say fuck ISIS, By the name of God in Islam the mercy and the lover we are against Isis and they are not presenting us i wish i was there to protect every child and every mother and father. Rest in peace to all of you long live Paris.”
Do you mean, “by Allah”? How can that be? He’s the one who commands and condones jihad.
Can you explain this to me?

Sure enough, they claimed this as a “battle”, as Al Qaeda in Yemen did for the Charlie Hebdo murders. Wait for the Pope to explain that authentic islamic State and a proper reading of their manifesto are opposed to every form of violence.
Westman says
Already there is claptrap like this floating around on Facebook, claiming that the terrorism in France has nothing to do with Islam, and it’s all because of the West – and people I know are buying it!
AND NONE OF THEM HAVE READ THE QURAN! There is some kind of bias in the American mind that all religions are peaceful or they wouldn’t be called a “religion”. I thought the same until I read militant parts of the Quran and Hadith. The MSM is standing in the way of the truth about Islam, trying to sell a stale narrative that is getting a bitter taste. Imagine what would happen if they published Quran 9.
wildjew says
“Already there is claptrap like this floating around on Facebook, claiming that the terrorism in France has nothing to do with Islam, and it’s all because of the West…”
I got this claptrap from a progressive reader on Thehill.com this morning. When they pull this on me I always ask them who and what (what scholars, what authors, etc.) they have read since the 9/11/2001 attacks. I don’t think I have yet to get an answer. That is how I would advise handling these people. Ask them what they’ve read about Islam in the fourteen plus years after the September attacks. The truth is, they haven’t read anything. No Qur’an, nothing about the life of Muhammad.

It is criminal negligence that our leaders have not learned about the JIHAD DOCTRINE in the last 14 years.

It’s very unlikely and too fantastic. Learning the jihad doctrine is a mind-blowing revelation that transforms a person’s life. One sees that Islam is systematically conspiratorial, supremacist and totalitarian by nature.
Apparently, you don’t know the jihad doctrine either.
Mo says
@ Westman
“AND NONE OF THEM HAVE READ THE QURAN! ”
This is what infuriates me the most! They have the nerve to lecture everyone about what this ideology teaches, but none of them have ever cracked open its texts. I don’t know about you, but I would be embarrassed to yammer on in public about a book I’ve never read, or some other topic about which I KNOW that I know nothing. I’d be terrified that someone would be there who has knowledge about it and I would be made to look like the complete jackass that I am. Isn’t it a normal human trait to not want to look stupid in front of others? Most people will do anything to avoid that!
But not even that bothers these people. I have called people on it – over and over again – and it doesn’t matter to them. They still have the freaking nerve to tell me what Islam does and does not teach, even after I’ve demonstrated that I have read the Quran, and even after they’ve admitted they have not.
Worse, yet, they REFUSE to read it. I’ve even heard some people say that outright. “I don’t HAVE to read it!” Where do you even go from there? It doesn’t make sense on a logical level, regardless of the topic at hand.
It would be like me going up to Ben Carson and telling him how to do brain surgery, after admitting that my medical training consists of watching old M*A*S*H and ER reruns. He’d probably schedule me to literally get my head examined!
Dan says

They try to divide the opposition by blaming their attack on what France did. This gives the appeasers among us the excuse to condemn France’s actions. Every jihad attack is blamed on the victim. The weak-minded left-wing French will think France shouldn’t have provoked ISIS. The weak-minded left-wing Israelis think Israel shouldn’t have provoked Hamas. The weak-minded left-wing Americans think the USA shouldn’t have attacked in the mid-East. The weak-minded left-wing Hindus think India shouldn’t have antagonized the Pakistanis. The list goes on and on.
Their playbook is so simple and so effective. In every country and group attacked by Islam there are weak-minded people who can’t bear to see the truth that Islam has declared world war against everyone else, and these weak-minded people make it unable for the rest of the world to combine forces and deal with Islam as it should.
bernie says
Even if France had never dropped a single bomb on I.S. targets in Syria, France is an officially secular country (church and state are separate, despite the “no-go” Sharia Muslim zones), and most French are Christian (mainly Catholic, but also Protestant, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, Eastern Orthodox, and so on) or Jewish, or Buddhist, or moderate Muslim, or Hindu, or atheist, etc. That in and of itself is an unpardonable offense to the Islamofascist thugs of I.S. They well find *any* pretext to hate and oppress any who doesn’t agree 100% with their warped, evil point of view.
mahghan says
The point i s that Islam since its inception has always been an aggressive and expansive religion/ideology. It was always at war with the kuffar/infidel world. It’s goal has ALWAYS been to win the world for Allah. Consider all its invasions in the NAME of Islam–whether Europe, Africa or Asia.
What put Islam into a period of quiescence is the rise of science in the West. This is what led to the defeat of the Turkish Empire and the European colonization of West Asia. When Britain and France won WW I–that gave birth to the Middle East and nation states such as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq–and most importantly, Israel.
All this showed up the technological weakness of Islam. But with petrodollars flowing to the region since WW II and the U.S. boost to traditional Islam in its war against the Soviets by way of Afghanistan, Islam is now resurgent. Its vehement and violent opposition to the state of Israel on conquered Arab/Muslim lands and its aggressive terrorism means that Islam has unfinished business to attend to.
All Western leaders and people are very naive about Islam and just have no idea how Islam was viewed by clear-eyed thinkers in the past.
Note the following:
Muhammad Razi(865-925 AD, Persian Scholar)
“If people of this religion, Islam, are asked about the soundness of their religion, they flare up, get angry and SPILL THE BLOOD of whoever confronts them with that question. They forbid RATIONAL speculation and STRIVE TO KILL THEIR ADVERSARIES. This is why TRUTH became thoroughly silenced and concealed.
Manuel II Palailogos(1391–1425, Byzantine Emperor)
Show just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will things only EVIL an INHUMAN, such as his command to SPREAD BY THE SWORD, the faith he preached.
Anthony Flew(1923-2010, British philosopher)
I would never regard Islam with anything but HORROR and FEAR because it is committed to CONQUERING THE WORLD FOR ISLAM.
Alexis de Tocqueville(1805-59, Author of Democracy in America)
I studied the Qur’an a great deal. I came away with the conviction that by and large there have been FEW RELIGIONS in the world as DEADLY TO MEN AS THAT OF MUHAMMAD.
Bertrand Russell(1872-1970, British mathematician and philosopher)
Bolshevism is to be reckoned with Mohammedanism rather than with Christianity and Buddhism. Christianity and Buddhism are primarily personal religions, with mystical doctrines and a love of contemplation.
Mohammedanism and Bolshevism are practical, social, unspirational–concerned to WIN THE EMPIRE OF THE WORLD.

Coming to city near you! A must read is William Fortchen’s excellent book: Day of Wrath. It lays out, almost to the letter, an attack on the U.S. which ends with the collapse of our nation by only 50 or so isis demons. Dare to curse the prophet? We have not been given a spirit of fear, but a Spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. The LORD rebuke you isis

I believe Robert may be issuing a quiz:

Where have we seen this before? Why the Explanatory Memorandum, of course:
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM, Page 7 of 8:
“The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and —–“sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions”—–

As I stated last night here, this is a declaration of war made clear from IS to all nations who oppose and fight against it.
This is their declaring, in this war, they will be guided by what guides them daily and that only: the guidance of the “Book of Allah,” the guidance of the life of the “Messenger of Allah,” the lessons written on the endless pages of Islamic history with the blood from the “Sword of Allah”– the sword of “His Messenger.”
Which is the sword usurped by Abu Bakr. Wielded by him and the Shahaba against all who opposed the rule and ascendency of Islam. Wielded today, openly or covertly, personally or by support, by every Qur’an-believing, Allah-obeying, thus Muhammad-emulating believer.
Geneva Convention rules of warfare don’t mean diddly to this war-fighters.
What guides them is what makes them, what defines them. That is, as stated, all in the “Book of Allah,” all provided in the sunnah of “Allah’s Messenger.”
We can pretend this declaration is not so, we can pretend this hit was against France and that nation only; pretense notwithstanding, the facts of this declaration remain, stand firm and proven.
It is, in brief, a declaration or war against all inhabitants of all nations that fight against the soldiers of IS, the soldiers of the nation/state that rules by the Shariah of Islam.
Therefore, world, take heed. We are forewarned.
Walter Sieruk says
There may very possibly be a number of jihad minded Muslims who may or not be ISIS members who were actually glad that those vicious and deadly jihad terror attacks that occurred on November 13, 2015 in different places in the city of Paris in France.. As for the who have such a warped sick Islamic mindset to be glad at the tragic and terrible things that happened to the people in Paris because of those jihad attacks. Shame on them. The Bible teaches “He who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished” Proverbs 17:5. [N.K.J.V.]

800,000 migrants are flooding Europe I believe it was, and someone here posted a comment that like even if one out of every so thousand that would still be like 500 or so terrorists. Eight cowards did this. Imagine what would happen with even say just 100 how many would die? How many more innocent people have to die before the world sees Islam for what it really is and gang bangs ISIS?
Also side note, not that this deliberate quoting of Islamic text has anything to do with Islam

Understanding Taqiyya ― Islamic Principle of Lying for the Sake of Allah
by Warner MacKenzie
30 April, 2007
Lying and cheating in the Arab world is not really a moral matter but a method of safeguarding honor and status, avoiding shame, and at all times exploiting possibilities, for those with the wits for it, deftly and expeditiously to convert shame into honor on their own account and vice versa for their opponents. If honor so demands, lies and cheating may become absolute imperatives.” [David Pryce-Jones, “The Closed Circle” An interpretation of the Arabs, p4]
“No dishonor attaches to such primary transactions as selling short weight, deceiving anyone about quality, quantity or kind of goods, cheating at gambling, and bearing false witness. The doer of these things is merely quicker off the mark than the next fellow; owing him nothing, he is not to be blamed for taking what he can.” [David Pryce-Jones, “The Closed Circle”, p38]
The word “Taqiyya” literally means: “Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one’s beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims.
Falsehoods told to prevent the denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned in the Qur’an and Sunna, including lying under oath in testimony before a court, deceiving by making distorted statements to the media such as the claim that Islam is a “religion of peace”. A Muslim is even permitted to deny or denounce his faith if, in so doing, he protects or furthers the interests of Islam, so long as he remains faithful to Islam in his heart. (See endnotes)
Like many Islamic practices, taqiyya was formed within the context of the culture of Arab tribalism, expansionary warfare, Bedouin raiding and inter-tribal conflict. Taqiyya has been used by Muslims since the 7th century to confuse, confound and divide ‘the enemy’.
A favoured tactic was ‘deceptive triangulation’; used to persuade the enemy that preparations for a raid were not aimed at them but at another tribe altogether. The fate in store for the deceived enemy target was an unexpected plunderous raid, enslavement of the women and death to the post-pubescent males.
The core foundation of hyper-masculine Arab culture is bound up in perceptions of “honour and shame”. At all times, he (it’s usually a male) must avoid having his face “blackened” by words or actions which are a slight upon, a challenge or affront to, his status in the family or broader social / tribal group. To be open, frank and forthright or to make self-damning admissions in his dealings (particularly with the infidel enemy) is to leave himself open and vulnerable to humiliating shame and to the subsequent disrespect from his peers. Tongues will wag in the bazaar’s coffee shops and rumours will rapidly spread that so-and-so has lost his “manliness” and status. In short, he is no longer worthy of deferential respect; to an Arab, this is worse than death itself.
