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

Malaysia: Muslim cleric among 15 Muslims arrested for plotting jihad mass murder attacks for the Islamic State

Mar 25, 2016 6:37 am By Robert Spencer

A “mosque cleric” was arrested plotting jihad mass murder for the Islamic State? Doesn’t he know that Islam teaches peace and that the Islamic State has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam? Will Obama and John Kerry and Pope Francis and David Cameron travel to Malaysia to teach this imam the true, peaceful Islam? They won’t? Why not? And why don’t we see the apologists for Islam in the West — John Esposito, Karen Armstrong, Reza Aslan, Tariq Ramadan, etc. — making this trip themselves? Why is the peaceful Islam that is so obvious to them so hard for them to communicate to Muslims who have somehow misunderstood their religion as to think it exhorts them to commit acts of violence?

“15 Suspected ISIS Members Planning Terror Attacks Have Been Arrested in Malaysia,” by Simon Lewis, Associated Press, March 24, 2016:

…Malaysian authorities say they have foiled a plot involving at least 15 people, including a police officer and an airplane technician, who were allegedly attempting to obtain bombmaking materials and launch terrorist attacks in the Southeast Asian country.

Citing a statement from police on Thursday night, the Associated Press reports that 15 people suspected to be members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) were arrested over three days beginning on Tuesday, the day of multiple bomb attacks in Brussels that have been claimed by the group.

Malaysia’s national police chief, Khalid Abu Bakar, said in the statement that the suspects — ages between 22 and 49 — include a mosque cleric, a student, the police officer and technician, and four women believed to be planning to travel to Syria to join ISIS.

A Malaysian man fighting with the group in Syria had ordered those arrested this week to carry out attacks on Malaysian soil, AP said….Malaysia has detained more than 160 people allegedly linked to ISIS in the past two years.

    So this is where the “hijack” starts! right inside the mosques! Here all this time I thought it was way out in the desert someplace, away from all those moderate muslims. Gosh, this comes as such a surprise. :~()

    I’ve grown so weary of being told islam is a peaceful religion. The Koran and Hadith are dripping with the blood of centuries, commands of murder and slavery abound in those pages:

    “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing… ”

    “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”

    “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”

    …just as an example, there’s plenty more violence in between those covers. And did you notice the part about “disbelief,” and “those who reject the faith”? This is their divine revelation, folks. This is their god talking, it’s unchanging, eternal. An “unbeliever” back then is no different from an unbeliever now. I’m an agnostic who has yet to discover a sure path to god. I shouldn’t have to pay a jizya or be put to death because of my rational rejection of religious delusion. But islam is that and more. It’s delusion, violence, hate and bigotry, and the worst kind of ignorance claiming to be divine revelation. It’s not even good commonsense let alone divine wisdom. And what little good there is in it could be found in a garbage can.

    There’s far too much evil in islam to be called a “religion of peace.” I’m not part of that lie, nor should you be.

      And one more thing. Any religion that calls for the death or subjugation of unbelievers shouldn’t even be called a “religion.” It’s a political fascism and a conspiracy to commit murder and war. I don’t want that crap in my neighborhood. Anyone who defends this is a traitor to their country, humanity, and any good god that might exist.

      Happy Friday!

      I wonder why were they got arrested. They are practicing good Muslims, doing What Allah had ordered . Why ? Why ? Why ? They were brainwashed from very young age to to the good work of Allah. So this is a disappointing end for them.

    Muslims real “Struggle”…….

    In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.
    Ephesians 1:7

    …….They can’t acknowledge God’s love.

      They can only acknowledge one god, allah. And that god is about arrogance and supremacy, murder and submission. It’s a fake, evil god made up by a warlord, pedophile, torturer. If it’s a “religion” then it’s a religion of darkness, and their god is the devil.

    John Kerry will go and teach “ISIL” a lesson about their religion … HIHILISM …

    John Kerry: ‘We will not rest until we have eliminated nihilistic beliefs and cowardice’

    What???

      NIHILISM: the belief that traditional morals, ideas, beliefs, etc., have no worth or value

      John Kerry thinks our enemy is Nihilism.

    A police officer, an airplane technician and a mosque cleric? B-b-but, disenfranchisement, poverty and lack of knowledge of islam!!!…

    what continues to astound me is that these morons leading us have obviously *never* looked into the actual religion. those who claim to be christian should know that a christian is supposed to get close to those to whom he is trying to witness, which means forming personal relationships. if U’re reaching out to a muslim, U must learn about his religion to learn about his thinking. this proves that at best they are the “country club” flavor of christian, who can’t really be bothered to care about others. those leaders who are atheists are more honest, because they believe that all religions are equally stupid, but the unfortunate side effect of this attitude is that, again, they learn nothing of islam.

    all these “leaders” are supposed to be highly educated. bam bam even claims to be a scholar of history, but he must have skipped the basics and gone straight for the specialty of the history of navel-gazing, because he obviously knows nothing of islam. no matter how U slice it, these people are either incompetent or traitors.

      Those positions are unavailable to non-morons. So you see, there is madness to the method. Which explains the symbiosis.

    Poor Mohammed didn’t understand that islam is a religion of peace, even he was confused… ( sarc.)

    Malaysia will be a very interesting country to watch in relation to its response and containment of current violent politically active expressions of Islam. The Malaysian State is strong and has a successful, though now increasingly distant, experience in the containment and routing of the Malaysian Communist Party, which was once a very powerful terrorist insurgency. Very few Malaysians would make the claim that Jihadist Terrorism had nothing to do with Islam, which places them squarely within the parameters of the real world in contrast to the multicultural fantasies that dominate political discourse and analysis in the U.S., Canada and Western Europe.
