It could happen here. Harlem Suarez, a Florida convert to Islam implicated in an Islamic State WMD plot, worked in secure areas at Key West International Airport. Another airport worker, Tairod Nathan Webster Pugh, according to Heavy.com, “converted to Islam in 1998 while living in Texas and became radical in his beliefs, according to ABC News. In 2001, while Pugh was a mechanic for American Airlines, a coworker reported to the FBI that Pugh said he sympathized with Osama bin Laden and was expressing anti-American sentiment” Abdirahmaan Muhumed, a Muslim from Minnesota who was killed while waging jihad with the Islamic State, worked for Delta Airlines at the Minneapolis Airport. For its part, the TSA failed to identify 73 workers who were “linked to terrorism.”
“First on CNN: U.S. officials believe ISIS planted bomb on Russian plane,” by Barbara Starr, CNN, November 4, 2015:
(CNN)The latest U.S. intelligence suggests that the crash of a Russian passenger jet in the Sinai over the weekend was most likely caused by a bomb on the plane planted by ISIS or an ISIS affiliate, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter.
But the official stressed a formal conclusion has not been reached by the U.S. intelligence community.
“There is a definite feeling it was an explosive device planted in luggage or somewhere on the plane,” the official, who is familiar with the latest U.S. intelligence analysis of the crash, told CNN.
Other U.S. officials also told CNN that the analysis is pointing toward the cause being a bomb.
Based on the same intelligence, the U.S. belief is that ISIS or an ISIS-affiliated group is responsible for the attack, the official said.
The British government announced Wednesday that it had “become concerned that the plane may well have been brought down by an explosive device.”…

Saleem Smith says
The devout Mohammedans of the Islamic State claim to have shot down an infidel airplane over Egypt. Likely the first of many. The Islamic texts are filled with hatred and calls to violence. But the religion must not be criticized.
We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty know that Islam is a deadly fraud and Muhammad the prophet of Islam a murderous madman.
Islam is no “religion of peace.” Islam is primarily a religion of “injustice, intolerance, hatred, and violence.” The fact is, if we non-Muslims were to say about Muslims what the Qur’an says about non-Muslims, we would be arrested for hate speech. The Qur’an largely preaches discrimination, death, and imposition of its dogma on everyone. Certainly some Muslims will be offended by such statements, but frankly, so what? Judaism and Christianity, the world’s two other major monotheistic religions, have had to face the harshest of scrutiny and criticism for several hundred years which continues to this day. Islam must not be granted any special privileges or be exempt from such treatment – the implications are of tremendous importance.
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues,
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”
patrick says
I totally agree, I am reading the quaran and no where do I see anything referring to jihad or spiritual cleansing of one’s self. It is a violent military indoctrination against any one who apposed.has nothing to do with God.
Aussie Infidel says
Patrick, There is more information about jihad in the ‘Reliance of the Traveller – a manual of sacred Islamic (Sharia) law’. It refers to the ‘greater’ and ‘lesser’ jihads, which most likely were transposed to fool ignorant kafirs, in accord with their doctrine of taqiyya. Nevertheless, almost all other references to jihad throughout the Islamic scriptures refer to the violent (lesser) version. With a criminal ideology such as Islam, Muslims with any sense of compassion, would have great difficulty trying to emulate the example of their psychopath prophet, due to the continual cognitive dissonance it would create.
The book is downloadable for free from the website below. But just in case anyone is having problems doing that and finding the relevant section, I’ve included it here.
“Jihad o9.0
http://www.islamicbulletin.org/free_downloads/…/reliance2_complete.pdf
o9.0 JIHAD
(0: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. As for the greater jihad, it is spiritual warfare against the
lower self(nafs), which is why the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said as he was returning from jihad, “We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad.”
The scriptural basis for jihad, prior to scholarly consensus (def: b7) is such Koranic verses as:
(1) “Fighting is prescribed for you” (Koran 2:216);
(2) “Slay them wherever you find them” (Koran 4:89);
(3) “Fight the idolators utterly” (Koran 9:36);
and such hadiths as the one related by Bukhari and Muslim that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
“I have been commanded to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and perform the prayer, and pay zakat. If they say it, they have saved their blood and possessions from me, except for the rights of Islam over them. And their final reckoning is with Allah”;
and the hadith reported by Muslim,
“To go forth in the morning or evening to fight in the path of Allah is better than the whole world and everything in it.”Details concerning jihad are found in the accounts of the military expeditions of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), including his own martial forays and those on which he dispatched others. The former consist of
o9.1 Justice
the ones he personally attended, some twentyseven (others say twenty-nine) of them. He fought in eight of them, and killed only one person with his noble hand, Ubayy ibn Khalaf, at the battle of UhuJ. On the latter expeditions he sent others to fight. himself remaining at Medina, and these were forty-seven in number.)
THE OBLIGATORY CHARACTER OF JIHAD
o9.1 Jihad is a communal obligation (def: c3.2). When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others (0: the evidence for which is the Prophet’s saying (Allah bless him and give him peace), “He who provides the equipment for a soldier in jihad has himself performed jihad,”
and Allah Most High having said:
“Those ofthe believers who are unhurt but sit behind are not equal to those who fight in Allah’s path with their property and lives. Allah has preferred those who fight with their property and lives a whole degree above those who sit behind. And to each. Allah has promised great good” (Koran 4:95).
If none of those concerned perform jihad, and it does not happen at all, then everyone who is aware that it is obligatory is guilty of sin, if there was a possibility of having performed it. In the time ofthe Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) jihad was a communal obligation after his emigration (hijra) to Medina. As for subsequent times, there are two possible states in respect to non-Muslims.
The first is when they are in their own countries, in which case jihad (def: 09.8) is a communal obligation, and this is what our author is speaking
of when he says, “Jihad is a communal obligation,” meaning upon the Muslims each year.
The second state is when non-Muslims invade a Muslim country or near to one, in which case jihad is personally obligatory (def: c3.2) upon the inhabitants of that country, who must repel the non-Muslims with whatever they can).
600
09.2 Jihad is personally obligatory upon all ‘those present in the battle lines (A: and to flee is an enormity (dis: pH)) (0: provided one is able to fight. If unable, because of illness or the death of one’s mount when not able to fight on foot, or because one no longer has a weapon, then one may leave. One may also leave if the opposing non-Muslim army is more than twice the size of the Muslim force).
09.3 Jihad is also (0: personally) obligatory for everyone (0: able to perform it, male or female, old or young) when the enemy has surrounded the Muslims (0: on every side, having entered our territory, even ifthe land consists of ruins, wilderness, or mountains, for non-Muslim forces entering Muslim lands is a weighty matter that cannot be ignored, but must be met with effort and struggle to repel them by every possible means. All ofwhich is if conditions permit gathering (A: the above-mentioned) people, provisioning them, and readying them for war. If conditions do not permit this, as when the enemy has overrun the Muslims such that they are unable to provision or prepare themselves for war, then whoever is found by a non-Muslim and knows he will be killed if captured is obliged to defend himself in whatever way possible. But if not certain that he will be killed, meaning that he might or might not be, as when he might merely be taken captive, and he knows he will be killed ifhe does notsurrender, then he may either surrender or fight. A woman too has a choice between fighting or surrendering if she is certain that she will not be subjected to an indecent act if captured. If uncertain that she will be safe from such an act, she is obliged to fight, and surrender is not permissible).
WHO IS OBLIGED TO FIGHT IN JIHAD
09.4 Those called upon (0: to perform jihad when it is a communal obligation) are every ablebodied man who has reached puberty and is sane.
o.9.5 Justice
o9.5 The following may not fight in jihad:
(1) Someone in debt, unless his creditor gives him leave:
(2) or someone with at least one Muslim parent. until they give their permission; unless the Muslims are surrounded by the enemy, in which case it is permissible for them to fight without permission.
09.6 It is offensive to conduct a military expedition against hostile non-Muslims without the Caliph’s permission (A: though if there is no Caliph (def: 025), no permission is required).
09.7 Muslims may not seek help from nonMuslim allies unless the Muslims are considerably outnumbered and the allies are of good will towards the Muslims.
THE OBJECTIVES OF JIHAD
o9.8 The caliph (025) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the nonMuslim poll tax (jizya, def: 01 L4)-which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself-while remaining in their ancestral religions) (0: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll
tax (0: in accordance with the word of Allah Most High, “Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden-who do not practice the religion oftruth, being of those who have been given the Book-until they pay the poll tax out ofhand and are humbled” (Koran 9:29), the time and place for which is before the final descent of Jesus (upon whom be peace). After his final coming, nothing but Islam will be accepted from them. for taking the poll tax is only effective until Jesus’ descent (upon him and our Prophet be peace), which is the divinely revealed law of Muhammad, The coming of Jesus does not entail a separate divinely revealed law, for he will rule by the law of Muhammad, As for the Prophet’s saying (Allah bless him and give him peace), “I am the last, there will be no prophet after me,” this does not contradict the final coming of Jesus (upon whom be peace), since he will not rule according to the Evangel, but as a follower of our Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace)).
09.9 The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (0: because they are not a people with a Book, nor honored as such, and are not permited to settle with paying the poll tax (iizya») (n: though according to the Hanafi school, peoples of all other religions, even idol worshippers, are permitted to live under the protection of the Islamic state if they either become Muslim or
agree to pay the poll tax, the sole exceptions to which are apostates from Islam and idol worshippers who are Arabs, neither of whom has any choice but becoming Muslim (al-Hidaya sharh Bidaya al-mubtadi’ (y21). 6.48–49)).”

That’s an amazing comment to share. I always appreciate hearing from ex-muslims. Thank you for your comment. Let’s hope that more muslims continue to see the light.

I am sure that Hitler must have admired Muhammad because Hitler preferred Islam to Christianity. Hitler knew that it would be much easier to motivate Muslims to slaughter people than it would be for Christians.

This is no surprise as there are too many ISIS sympathisers among the Egyptian population, even in the army.

Would al Baghdadi and the boys be that dumb?

They could not care less as long as they can get the white men’s blood. Just like the Palestinians stabbing the Israelis, they could not be bother if they are shot at.

“So, would al Baghdadi and the boys be that dumb?”
Dumb? Well, if one considers that their claim on the legitimacy of their caliphate relies on military victories to prove that allah is on their side, I’d say no, they’re not dumb, they simply didn’t have a choice. If the Russian bombings were actually working, they couldn’t sit on their thumbs – the other groups aspirating to a caliphate of their own would certainly capitalize on it.
Saleem Smith says
Vladimir Putin likely knows the horrendous contents of Islamic theology (the koran, hadith and sira) and that the Mohammedan jihadis are knocking at the door of Russia’s borders with Sharia law and worse in mind. Destroying the Islamic State makes a whole lot of sense if the nation(s) and non-Muslims want to survive. the perfect religion of peace
Dave J says
If they did blow up the plane and it’s 224 passengers it would have been an expression of their faith and quite excusable as part of their culture.
Who are we to judge this ideology of hatred? That would be bigotry, racism and Islamophobia.
JBubs says
Sarcasm duly noted.
Charli Main says
London Heathrow and London Gatwick are awash with Muslim employees ( as I´m sure, are other British airports). The Burqa brigade infest the immigration and security check departments and thousands work behind the scenes. I have seen ” Asian” baggage handlers loading the luggage bays of aircraft. The only thing that surprises me, is that aircraft flying out of Britain haven´t been blown up.
underbed cat says
Airports…..diversity in employment, leads to diversity in taxi driver? Baggage handlers? Pilots? Maintenance crews and management? Food handlers? So how do we keep the ideology out? Trust but verify, if only we could, how do you get into the minds unless you know what is center in their life.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Last night one of the bleach blonde lawyers on Fox RINO, Greta I think, pointed out the mistakedness of attacking Putin, who only claimed to be fighting ISIS as a cover for fighting al-Nusra to shore up his client Assad. What she missed is that Putin has taken the Shia side of what is essentially a sectarian Jihad conflict. There should be a law against having lawyers discuss Islam, their minds are programmed in law school to process deductive simplisms without accounting for breakdowns in logic.
Yeah, Putin can send his Sukhois out dive bombing ISIS strongholds in retaliation, but will face the same quandary the US military does: to defeat ISIS mass collateral damage must be accepted in course, because the host population is to a large degree in concert with the Caliphs. They’ll hide amidst the population until Putin (or the Americans) pull back. This tactic is inherent to Jihad, one of the best examples is the Hizbullah in southern Lebanon to wait out defensive air and artillery strikes by the IDF.
Westman says
What if our assumption that Putin will avoid massive collateral damage, like the US, is misplaced? It strikes me that he may have been waiting for the event that would justify a full effort. The willingness to be involved at all, after the Afghanistan experience, seems to point to confidence in some adequate strategy that was already mapped out.
Westman says
If this is indeed an ISIS bombing, I suspect John Bolton is correct: Putin will respond massively with a scorched earth policy and perhaps even test some FOAB bombs on ISIS.
The Russian device has 4 times the yield of the US MOAB. These bombs have the power of tactical nukes without the radiation products, the Russian FOAB having a yield of 44 tons of TNT.
Putin’s first order of business will be confirming that ISIS/Daesh is responsible. If they are, as Bolton said, it will be the worst mistake they ever made. Learning from the Afghanistan experience it’s doubtful that Putin will use partial measures.
JIMJFOX says
I SO hope you are right!
JBubs says

Jihad Watch is quoting CNN.
Baucent says
If ISIS was behind the aircraft downing, and if that is proven, then Putin will be under domestic pressure to strike back. Unlike his Western counterparts, Putin with his state controlled media, and high approval rating is almost immune from domestic criticism.
That could give him the freedom to really dish out some payback if he was inclined.
William says
Any non-Muslim, particularly white westerners, traveling into or out of a Mohammedan majority country, Egypt for example, is playing a very high risk game of chance with their lives. Permitting Mohammedans to come into and to remain in the West also will guarantee murder and mayhem committed by followers of that “religion” in the West.
Michael Copeland says
This seems to be another Lockerbie.
awake says
This may or may not be true. This could simply be a leak by the administration to thumb the eye of Putin. Logically, it would make little sense, since if true, it is likely that Putin’s would be merciless and swift.
gravenimage says
Awake, ISIS is already claiming responsibility for this. This is not just some post-cold war jockeying between the US and Russia. By the way, the British Prime Minister is saying the same thing–so this not just about the US.
“Isis releases audio message claiming it downed Russian plane in Sinai”

quotha raven says
Well, I won’t go so far as to say “it’s all falling into place” but this morning on Fox radio news I heard some DOD expert say that one realistic possibility for the cause of the plane crash over Egypt with all the Russians was an inside job involving an airport worker, who could have placed a bomb with a timer on the plane before it took off. He supported what this JW article sez about airport workers being improperly screened of simply not screened at all. And as I recall, the Saudi-funded 9/11 bombers were Egyptian, non?
The DOD spokesman on the radio news this morning mentioned Muslim Brotherhood specifically as possibly working with/for ISIS, and said MB has infiltrated the Egyptian government and other strategic venues (airlines, airports, for example, where middle easterners seem to shine). Let’s not forget Obama supported the MB for the reinvented government of Egypt but was immediately beaten down by the Egyptian people, who preferred the military to be in charge. Putin recognizes MB as a terrorist group. Obama loves and supports them and has them in the white house constantly. Putin has done some very showy elimination of the (muslim brotherhood backed?) “rebels/moderates” we are supporting in Syria. And a good argument can be made that we in the USA actually created ISIS and funded and armed them..via Benghazi….whether purposefully or not…and. as we have seen so many times, jihadists are a slippery, name-changing lot with no loyalty to any specific formal jihadist organization, as long as it expands the global caliphate it seeks to establish..
But a new interesting development within the past few days is the news that the USA has now sent to Syria some military planes specifically designed to engage in air fights with other war planes….Russia’s?
Clearly, I’m no military expert, just a JW reader of ordinary intelligence who cares a lot and who is looking at the (very ugly) “big picture”, such as I see it.
I don’t think O has the balls, but it does appear that we are ramping up some kind of military engagement with Russia in Syria.Personally, I don’t accept oil as the primary motivator, while it certainly has a role in ME war and politics. I believe jihadis are primarily motivated by their holy book and a desire to create a global caliphate.
I’d be so happy to see my vision trashed by JW commenters better informed and smarter than I am.
Cheers!

Charli Main says
No true JW commentator would ” trash” your vision/opinions quotha raven. Someone disagreeing with you, will present a counter argument, without resorting to insults and abuse. The ability to agree to disagree, without resorting to verbal or physical violence is called democracy and free speech, tenets that do not exist in the Muslim mind set.
quotha raven says
to Charli Main – Perhaps I should have said I’d be happy to have my vision “exploded” by those better informed than I am here at JW. I’m not happy with my conclusions and would be relieved to see arguments that make me change my mind. I don’t anticipate rude or insulting responses, although they occasionally appear here. Thank you for your support! Cheers! qr
quotha raven says
So, if Muslim Brotherhood is Sunni and ISIS is Shia (although the lines are not, in my opinion, clearly drawn, but that means little), and if Putin favors and supports Shia and Obama favors and supports Sunni, where does that leave us? Would Russia not bomb MB supporters, to Obama’s chagrin…O has little other than chagrin going for him, given his utter lack of guts or commitment to the West or the USA. Cheers! qr
Cecilia Ellis says
Quotha, I believe the Islamic State is Sunni, which makes them an enemy of Iran and the Shia. While I might be wrong, I suspect that Putin would be delighted to bomb the Islamic State anywhere . . . especially now, if the Islamic State did have a bomb placed aboard that Russian flight. I, like you, also believe that Putin would target Muslim Brotherhood supporters.
By the way, your comments on this and other threads are valuable contributions. Keep them coming.

Hi, Quotha.
Actually, ISIS is Sunni as well, *not* Shia–the Islamic State, in fact, has been murdering and driving out Shi’ites, whom they regard as “heretics”:
“Islamic State calls on Muslims to ‘kill enemies of Islam, especially Shi’ites’”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/05/islamic-state-calls-on-muslims-to-kill-enemies-of-islam-especially-shiites

August_West says
I smell a rat. Sure seems like Obama and Cameron are in a big.rush to blame Islamic State for the bombing.
Maybe they want to make it seem like Putin should not be involved is Syria?
I’ll believe it when Putin says it.
gravenimage says
I’m trying to follow your logic–you believe that the US and Britain would falsely confirm that ISIS downed that plane, even though this would likely give Putin *more* reasons to oppose the Islamic State?
Jay Boo says
I see your point. If it is a bomb, it could possibly lead to Russian public opinion softening on Syria just as the bombings in Spain did.
However, it could also be used by Putin to justify more reasons to attack the Islamic State as gravenimage stated.
