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

Raymond Ibrahim: The Grand Lesson of the Paris Jihad

Nov 15, 2015 1:08 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Paris jihadWhat is the grand, take away lesson from yesterday’s jihadi/terrorist attack in Paris, that left 129 dead and hundreds injured?

Is it a result of the mass influx of Muslim migrants into Europe—including Islamic State operatives?

Is it yet another reflection of Islam’s unwavering Rule of Numbers, which holds that, wherever and whenever Muslims grow in numbers—and they make for a large minority in France—the same acts of “anti-infidel” violence that are endemic to the Islamic world grow with them?

For all who are uninformed, the above are certainly lessons associated with the Paris attack.  But they are not the grand lesson.

The grand lesson is that such attacks must and will continue to multiply in severity.  Why?  Because Western nations, their leaders and media talking heads continue to be shocked and dismayed.  As Judith Berman writes for the Gatestone Institute today:

One of the most surprising aspects of the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday night is how “deeply shocked” members of the European political establishment appeared to be.

Angela Merkel, David Cameron and the Pope all expressed their condolences — and “deep shock” — at the well-coordinated, citywide terror attacks in six different places across Paris…

Even “NBA players express shock, sympathy over Paris terrorist tragedy.”

What is truly shocking is that so many are still shocked.  When someone is shocked, they are essentially saying they have no idea how a specific event, in this case yesterday’s Paris attack, came to pass.

In turn, this means that all the factors that led up to such terrorist attacks—from an already large Muslim presence further engorged with more Muslim migraters, to an inability to speak honestly about Islam’s supremacist and violent teachings—will continue unabated.

And that means many more such attacks and worse will continue.  Count on it.

    The politicians have to pretend to be shocked. They want to keep their cushy gig, and keep the masses convinced that they are serving the needs of the people.

    They are not.

    The fact that they are inviting terrorists into their nations is proof that they are traitors.

    So really, the shock is all kabuki.

      One interesting thing is that the TV shows only French grief, not French anger. Candles, wreaths, flowers, people holding each other, etc. Puzzled, why no anger. Or is that the media is afraid of showing anger.

      On the other hand, when the Israeli police shoot dead a Palestinian stabber, a mob quickly gathers and begins to vent its rage. At the funerals for the dead Palestinians only rage and cries for revenge are witnessed.

        No anger because that would be racist, and above all, we in the West, are not racist. Of course, we _are_, according to the left, regardless of whether we roll over and piss in the air when attacked.

      I was not shocked by the Paris massacre, I was horrified. Of course, any knowledgeable person on Islam and jihad would know that an attack like this was coming. It will be harder for the jihadists to do this in the USA because so many of us have guns. I agree that those who continue to advocate bringing in more Muslim immigrants are traitors and we should stop all immigration from Muslim countries.

        “It will be harder for the jihadists to do this in the USA…”

        Harder, yes. But definitely not impossible. Get ready, because it is coming here.

    • mahghan says

      Nov 15, 2015 at 6:14 am

      Has Merkel ever heard of British Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone(1809-1898)–4 time British PM and Chancellor of the Exchequer? Smart man! He summed up Islam candidly:

      “Qur’an–an accursed book. So long as there is this book, there will be no peace in the world”.

      Or even Cameron. An Eton education is very expensive but what do they teach them there about British political history. This man talks about the day that Britain would gladly elect a Muslim PM.

      What I stealthy about it. This isn’t Jihad. This is submission.

    • Pong says

      Nov 15, 2015 at 4:04 pm

      Moslems don’t need 50% of votes to take over the country. They vote in block and less then 30% will be enough to turn Britain into an islamic country with sharia as a law of the land. Plus conversion rate will also excelerate (especially amongst the women). So, prediction is, that British califate will be established in less then 25 years. For Europe it will be a domino effect as well, meaning that smaller countries will need even smaller percent of population to became islamic. As usual, those countries will fight each other and Europe will decent into dark ages.

    Huge fan of Ibrahim, but I think the big lesson is that we are deluding ourselves about who our enemy is. Until we grasp that it’s not Islamism but Islma itself that’s the problem we will get nowhere. Those terrorists were good Muslims doing precisely what the prophet of Islam tells them to do. Other more peacefully inclined Muslims always have difficulty denouncing the murderers because they know that the terrorists are the highest expression of Islam. Good piece on that called Imagine at

      Nov 15, 2015 at 8:45 am

      I agree. all muslims are prongs of the same theocratic fork. Some seek to further Islam peacefully, others use different methods; however they all meet under the sharia umbrella. What seems to elude people is that Islam itself is a political movement first and foremost, the religion part of it is just used for brainwashing.

  10. Iago says

    Nov 15, 2015 at 6:39 am

    What Raymond says about the shock of the leaders is right, but he is picking and choosing examples for his Rule of Numbers. Singapore has a 15% Muslim population and there has never been a single terrorism-related death in the entire 50 year history of the country. Kazakhstan has a 70% Muslim population coexisting with a 24% Christian Orthodox population and this kind of thing barely happens there. Another example is Malaysia. Although there are some minor (but still very regrettable) limitations on the freedom of Christians specially when it comes to proselytizing, they still live pretty much without fear and are free to practice their religion.

    • Andrew says

      Nov 15, 2015 at 8:40 am

      There will always be anomalies, and differences in how generalizations like the one he makes are applied.

      However their is a consistent pattern throughout mohamedism….. I mean, you were able to find 3 examples which I’m not gonna investigate, of supposed co-habitation; however Malaysia and Kazakhstan certainly have their muslim problems too. I could give you hundreds of examples to counter that.

    • Westman says

      Nov 15, 2015 at 11:26 am

      Dynamic systems change over time. While it’s true that no exact figures can support a “rule of numbers” it is also true that currently stable Muslim countries may not be so in the near future. The Islamic ideology does not support stability by choice and Muslim groups and countries have been fighting each other as well as Infidels since conception.

      We’ll have wait and see. People in Syria never thought their close friends and neighbors would try to kill them after living peacefully together for 30 years.

        Westman: Dynamic systems change over time:

        http://www.anonymousconservative.com/

        “Imagine every freshman in every political science class being told of this work, and reading the textbook on it, filled with scientific studies backing the premise. Imagine their first lesson being that Liberals are not logical or moral, but rather are narcissists, bent on pursuing selfish, hedonistic, rabbit-like behaviors destined to betray their own and destroy society. Imagine them being told that Liberalism is produced merely by a rabbit-like instincts, rather than intellect or morality. The simple and obvious association of political ideology with r/K Selection Theory would inoculate those students against any Liberal indoctrination in academia that they would be exposed to.”

    I also was wondering why everyone is so surprised and shocked and saying this is a crime against humanity. Of course it is a crime against humanity, the later violent writings in The Koran are a crime against humanity, the primary handbook for terror.

    As a result of agressive fundamentalist Islam, many of us closely follow the Muslim invasion, read The Koran, and take seriously the messages sent by Isis. “Know thy enemy”, name him, and we can be realistically prepared while our Leaders and other apologists cry out weakly in shock and dismay looking around for a few minutes before they put their heads back in a hole in the ground.

  12. RonW says

    Nov 15, 2015 at 7:21 am

    Surely the ‘grand lesson’ is that Brigitte Gabriel was right: the peaceful majority of muslims, even if a peaceful majority of them actually exists, are *irrelevant* .

  13. wildjew says

    Nov 15, 2015 at 7:29 am

    From the Gatestone piece: “The current generation of European political leaders has exhibited an irresponsibility and lack of leadership that is almost infantile….”

    European political leaders, Barack Hussein Obama, what is the difference?

    Nov 15, 2015 at 8:28 am

    All of this is insanity. Perhaps it really is time for our civilization to fall. We can’t even sustain our own population growth without the immigrants.

    I own a big house and have four male roommates all well over 30 years old, none of us have kids. I can’t find a woman that I both find attractive, and she wants to have a family.

    This all feels like some terrible nightmare…..the way average people and media react to terror, it’s insanity.

    The wheels are off the cart……it all started with political correctness, feminism, the lefty machine…excetera. People are too lazy to actually research anything, they form strongly held opinions on BS. What is wrong with everyone. God, or actually since I’m atheist…something help us, we can’t help ourselves.

    I’m glad our forefathers, and founders; past leaders aren’t around to see this………After they fought so hard for us.

  17. brunokraiske says

    Nov 15, 2015 at 10:12 am

    The French are stupid cowards, they haven’t learned anything from Charlie Hebdo, and there will be no lessons learned now. My guess is, they will come up with another idiotic slogan like ” JES SUI PARIS ” , sing some songs, and forget about it till another attack.

  18. Angemon says

    Nov 15, 2015 at 10:13 am

    And that means many more such attacks and worse will continue. Count on it.

    As certain as death and taxes. Or should I say, as certain as jihadi attacks and taxes?

  19. William says

    Nov 15, 2015 at 10:47 am

    I must admit that David Cameron is one of the rare politicians who defended unwavering the right to offend after the Charlie Hebdo massacre. In contrast to many of his contemporaries, including the Pope, he did not equivocate on the right to publish images of Mohammed. And then there are his impotent multiple expressions of shock and outrage after every act of barbarism by Mohammedans. There were the beheading of Lee Rigby, the beheadings by ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the Charlie Hebdo massacre, and now the massacre in the streets of Paris. Cameron’s expressions of shock and outrage are beginning to wear thin, like his verbal defense of freedom of speech. His expressions are mere words, not conviction. He does not back them up with the force of his authority.

    MEDIA DENIES MIGRANT FLOOD AND THEY WONT BE FIXING IT

    Reports from Serbia on Sunday said the authorities there had identified the holder of a Syrian passport found near one of the attackers in Paris. Responding to requests from French officials, Greece and Serbia confirmed that the holder of the passport had passed through their countries last month along with tens of thousands of migrants fleeing Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

    The Serbian newspaper Blic published a photograph of a passport page that identified its holder as Ahmad al-Mohammad, 25, a native of Idlib, Syria. Serbian officials said he had been registered at the town of Presevo, on the border with Macedonia, on Oct. 7 as part of the migrant flow. Greek officials have confirmed that the same man passed through the island of Leros on Oct. 3.

    IMMEDIATELY NYT ADDS-

    It was not clear, however, if the passport was authentic; there is an active black market for forged Syrian passports.

    wow!

    But the guy came via that route among ‘refugees’ isnt it?

    Here is another Deflection from Migrants flood-

    Mr. Sarkozy, who has been known to be tough on immigrants during his tenure as president, cautioned against linking the refugee crisis with the terrorist attacks, but added: “We need, together, to rein in the wave of migration ensuing from the Syrian situation.

    So its official- the mega goofup of opening borders to muslim migarnts didnt lead to this bloody messup.

    So Raymond is very prophetic and anybody can be prophetic that the show has only just begun.

    Coming to a neighborhood near you…..real soon …..thousands of so called refugees.

    I know many of them are fleeing for their life but mixed in with them are the real bad guys.
    If these people had did their utmost to stop the bad guys in the beginning then maybe they would not be running…Anyway…this should not be our problem…stop them from entering NOW…NO Visas….no entrance whatsoever…Sorry bout that…Don’t need anymore Muslim…got enough !!!, Send some that’s here backif !!! Support any legislation that intends to stop the influx if any politicians has the guts to propose such. Seems like one Texas politico has put up a bill hope all the others pile on
    .
    GOD SAVE THE U S A !!!!!

    However, I spoke with some relatives today about this and they are 100% certain it has nothing to do with Islam and I was just shocked to see this ignorance.
    They even claimed the usual stuff that the Quran has no saying about violence and all is a question of interpretation. I’m getting tired of arguing to such boneheads, honestly.

  24. Wellington says

    Nov 15, 2015 at 6:12 pm

    Any adult in the West shocked by what happened in Paris the other day is most definitely part of the problem and not part of the solution. In fact, a clearer delineation between “problem” and “solution” would be hard to find.
