Islamic State caliph al-Baghdadi: “Jews, soon you shall hear from us in Palestine which will become your grave”

Dec 26, 2015 12:04 pm By Robert Spencer

Meanwhile, however, opposition forces are getting so close to the caliphate’s capital that he might not have a chance to make good on his threats against Israel.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

“Islamic State leader Baghdadi goads West in rare audio statement,” by Josie Ensor, Telegraph, December 26, 2015:

The leader of Islamic State has released an alternative Christmas message goading the West, saying the do not dare send troops to their territory.

In a rare audio statement – his first in seven months – Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi said Western countries have “learned from” previous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Crusaders and Jews don’t dare to come on the ground because they were defeated in Iraq and Afghanistan,” he said in his 23-minute statement.

The leader, who has rarely been pictured and has not been heard from since he was believed to have been injured in an airstrike by Iraqi forces in October, Russian or US-led airstrikes had failed to weaken the group, which was only “expanding and getting stronger”.

“Be confident that God will grant victory to those who worship him, and hear the good news that our state is doing well. The more intense the war against it, the purer it becomes and the tougher it gets,” he said.

He also called on Saudi citizens – the biggest contributor to Isil ranks – to “rise up” against their government as he dimissed the kingdom’s newly formed Muslim coalition against the caliphate.

He also said Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) would soon be in Palestine to establish an Islamic state there. “Jews, soon you shall hear from us in Palestine which will become your grave,” the voice, purporting to be Baghdadi, is heard saying.

“The Jews thought we forgot Palestine and that they had distracted us from it,” he says in the recording. “Not at all, Jews. We did not forget Palestine for a moment. With the help of Allah, we will not forget it… The pioneers of the jihadist fighters will surround you on a day that you think is distant and we know is close. We are getting closer every day.”

Baghdadi had reportedly been seriously injured in a Iraqi airstrike in October.

The leader is thought to constantly move between Isil’s strongholds of Raqqa, northeastern Syria, and Mosul, in Iraq, in a bid to avoid airstrikes.

In the statement titled “Wait for we as well are waiting with you”, Bagdadi boasted that the group had fought off advances in both Syria and Iraq.

On Saturday, however, Isil suffered a major blow after a US-backed alliance of Syrian Kurds and Arab rebel groups, backed by coalition planes, captured a dam from its fighters, cutting a main supply route of the militants across the Euphrates.

Colonel Talal Selo said the rapid advance overnight by thousands of troops from the Democratic Forces of Syria had brought the dam, 15 miles upstream from the militants’ de facto capital Raqqa, under their control on Saturday afternoon.…

    Al Baghdadi

    Let me enlighten you with the following FACTS:

    1. As more and more Muslims continue slaughtering, terrorising and plundering none Muslims all over the globe, in the very near future (hopefully within the next three months) more and more Infidels/ Kuffar will remove their otherwise criminally negligent and Islam servile political leaders and replace them with nationalist ones who will be Politically Incorrect

    2. These new leaders will first stop all Muslims from coming to their countries. Secondly they will investigate ALL Islamic institutions (religious, charitable, educational etc) for acts of TREASON against their states

    3. They will prosecute the guilty and will remove all Muslims who prefer Sharia

    4. Israel is a NUCLEAR state who will turn every important city in the Middle East to GLASS if its survival is at stake

    5. As I am writing this, more countries in Europe are CLOSING their borders and more Europeans are scared to death from Muslims resulting in backlash that will increase weekly as more acts of Rape, Murder, Terror & Plunder will be committed by the so called ‘refugees’ from Muslim countries

    6. Baghdadi, long before ISIS arrives to the borders of Israel, you and your supporters will be EXTERMINATED by the Infidels/ Kuffar

    Let us wait and see whose predictions will come TRUE?

      In the case your prediction will materialize, that Al Baghdadi would have this one answer before being killed along with his jihadis: Inshallah! Because they believe that no matter what happens, good or bad, everything is totally controlled and “taken care” by allah, their moon-god, and that also includes their eventually destruction. Convenient excuse to have and always claim that it is (was) “god willing,” thus robbing them from any responsibility for anything they do!

      Like everything that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi writes, it is the last words of a would be caliph who has run out of options and has no where to go but HELL! He is at best a pompous PIG, who thinks of himself as of a great leader, but has forgotten that Salau-udin was a KURD leader of the Arabs in the time of the Crusades. Today, as the Kurds defeat ISIS, , it might just end up with the Kurds capturing and castrating Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, who will become the eunuch leader of ISIS.

      • IQ al Rassooli says

        Dec 26, 2015 at 4:58 pm

        Thank you Kenneth

        The greatest tragedy is that most of the Western Media, Politicians and Academics have not bothered to study the subjects of Muhammad, his Quran, his Sunna, Sharia etc and yet are criminally arrogant to the extent that they tell hundreds of millions of Europeans & Americans that they KNOW more about Islam than the Imams & Muslims!

        The FACT that Allah is NOT the same as the God of the Bible utterly and conclusively discredits Muhammad as a prophet and the alleged divine origin of his Quran because no god called Allah or angel called Jibril (Gabriel) ever revealed anything to Muhammad since every letter, word, verse and chapter in the Quran are the SOLE product of Muhammad’s imagination; the secretions of his warped mind, BUT cleverly projected into the unsuspecting mouths of Allah & Jibril to give them the aura of sanctity and divinity!

        Case CLOSED!

          @ IQ al Rassooli,
          I am definitely NOT knocking what you say about Mohammad but did you ever consider that he really did see something? Most certainly not beings from the light of the one true God in heaven (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) but that he was visited by demons sent from Satan himself?
          Like I said I am not poo-pooing your thoughts because that works too.
          Hope you had a Merry Christmas and may you and yours have a happy New Year.
          May you find peace, love and comfort in 2016.

      Well considering the fact that this man has been killed 4 times by the us maybe we should ask different questions like who is Isis why has ex CIA analyst Lopez stated we armed them as well as a speech to a college by biden.
      I think we must Del with our politicians first.

But thats Nothing !

      Re your comparison of Canada’s Starry-Eyed Turdeau to the American dhimmi leaders, Turdeau is literally an overgrown child who has been given the reins of the country. This is historically unprecedented. Even in old time monarchies, when a 5-year old inherited the throne, he had a group of adults around him making the decisions.

      I don’t know if this makes Childe Turdeau more or less dangerous than the adult dhimmis, but I suspect more.

      I’m in Canada right now, celticwarrior, a country that is my second favorite nation after my own, America, and I am as chagrined as you are that the young Trudeau is now head honcho here in the Dominion. Harper is a giant compared to Trudeau and foolish Canadians stupidly slayed the giant for the dwarf, thus emulating all those foolish Americans who voted for Obama for President, especially the ones who learned nothing after four years and who voted for the Anointed One a second time. Sadly and troublingly, fools abound both above and below the 49th degree of latitude.

      Best to you and yours. And may you have a memorable and Happy New Year.

By the way Big-daddy, whatever they call you, ISIS is on the way to diminish to another ‘Great’ chapter in the Islamic history.

    ISIS hasn’t confronted an experienced modern army on the field. They know better than anyone they would be slaughtered unless the world intercedes but Syria isn’t Lebanon boys and girls.

    I bet he doesn’t f*rt in bed without Mossad knowing it….

    I bet he sleeps *under* his bed with one eye and one ear open, surrounded by human shields, because he’s so sh*t scared of a walloping dose of Fire From Heaven blasting in through his ceiling. (and I bet that, like every other caliph or would-be caliph throughout Islamic history, he also has a permanent itch between his shoulder-blades and over his jugular vein because of the fear of being removed from his position by someone else playing the “I’m-More-Islamic-Than-Thou” game.)

    unfortunately Israeli’s hospitals treats IsIs terrorist who injured in the war and give them medicine free

    • Mike says

      Dec 26, 2015 at 10:28 pm

      Yeah, but they wouldn’t be so nice if a couple thousand of these guys were showing up at the, say, Jordanian border, intent on breaking border defences.

      In such an event, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they were killed in a most decisive and vicious way, for example by being napalmed or gassed.

      Israelis are basically decent people who won’t do that unless their back is to the wall, but these groups will be in for quite a surprise if the day ever comes, which they’d better hope it doesn’t.

    Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi repeatedly raped US hostage Kayla Mueller and turned Yazidi girls into personal sex slaves. That this guy is a religious icon and role model for many Muslims worldwide (just like the oversexed paedophile Mohammed), says a lot about this sick and depraved religion and its followers.

    • IQ al Rassooli says

      Dec 27, 2015 at 3:41 am

      Singh

      Will you (and ALL those commenting) please refrain from calling Islam a RELIGION?

      Islam is a CULT belief system: the CULT of Muhammad because ALL Muslims must emulate Muhammad’s Sunna hence they have been and continue to be Psycho-pathological CLONES of their mentor Muhammad

      Calling Islam PEACEFUL or a RELIGION rank as two of the most egregious LIES that have ever been insinuated into the human consciousness

        That is not correct. Islam is a dualistic system [ http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=297 ] so the answer to the question of whether it is a “religion” or a “political ideology” of for that matter “a cult” can never be a simple “yes” or a “no” answer. It is in fact all of the above. The proper answer to a dualistic system must always be a statistical answer. But don’t just take my word for it, or expert Bill Warner’s word for it – here is what Bosch Fawstin, winner of the Draw Muhammad contest in Garland, Texas has to say on the matter:

        Interviewer Craig Biddle of The Objective Standard: “As you and others—including Muslims who take Islam seriously—have repeatedly shown, Islam is not a religion of peace. But some people claim that Islam is not a religion at all—because it calls for murder and other evils. The idea here is that religion is inherently a good thing, Islam calls for moral atrocities, so Islam doesn’t fit the bill. What are your thoughts on this?”

        Bosch Fawstin: I reject this fanciful myth that religionists are hell-bent to push. Islam is religion; it is also a political ideology—it’s a fusion of the two, and it uses its religious identity as both its shield and sword. 9/11 was an act of faith, or else Mohammad Atta and his fellow savages would never have flown those planes into the Twin Towers. They believed with everything they had that they were flying into paradise. When Bush uttered the America-crippling lie, “Islam means peace,” what he was really saying was “religion means peace.” He was a born-again Christian who was so beholden to religion that he gave a pass to Islam for religious reasons. And we’ve all paid a deadly price for it. And still to this day, there are those who bite their tongue about Islam, lest they suffer scrutiny for their own religion.

    Fortunately, Israel has lots of guys like this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yooup-4OAAo

    who, really, are probably the West’s best hope, at this point. Guys who are willing to make fun of ISIS threats and tell them to come and play with the big boys.

    Jews, unlike Europeans, have a very recent memory of what an ISIS takeover would look like, and will go to ANY length to avoid it. If Israelis were to end up with their back to the wall, it would end ugly for the guys on the other side, guaranteed.

    Has anyone found the transcript of this speech?

    None of the news actually sources it.

    So who knows what the guy with the big wristwatch (on his right wrist) said.
    On a side issued I am predicting Jan/Feb 2016 for the Jihadi uprising in Europe. They need to gain the surprise element again after all the bad press on Ramadi and Raqqa.
    Their main recruitment model is the backing of Allah and the proof is success.They must show they are in control.

    I bet that not having Western troops in their territory scares him more than a troop surge that would make Bush’s look like a scout party. Nuclear is always an option when there are not boots on the ground – not under Obama, certainly, but 2016 is coming.

    Look at him standing behind those microphones. I always find it interesting that these 7th century idiots are finding their power behind modern, western inventions.

    Why are we supporting their electrical power distribution systems, water treatment plants, etc? If they want their caliphate and want nothing to do with us, we should build the walls and stop trading with them. Let allah provide for them.
