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

Islamic State hacks Michigan church website: “We will break your crosses and enslave your women by permission of Allah”

Apr 25, 2016 11:48 am By Robert Spencer

What did this church do to attract the jihadis’ attention? Did one of their clerics host a Muhammad cartoon contest? They must have provoked the poor dears in some way. Everyone knows that jihadis would all be stockbrokers if only we wouldn’t keep poking them in the eye. When will the churches learn to submit properly? Oh wait, the submission is already in full swing: “Attendance to the church’s next sermon was of only six people.” The West, especially the churches, appears to be populated almost entirely today by cowards and trimmers. Unless this changes, total surrender will not be long in coming.

“Church Website Defaced with Ominous Jihadi Message,” by Catalin Cimpanu, Softpedia, April 25, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Late Friday afternoon, pro-ISIS group the United Cyber Caliphate has defaced the website of the Lamont Christian Reformed Church in the city of Lamont, near Coopersville, Michigan.

A 15-year-old teenage girl discovered the website’s defacement while searching for the church’s phone number, according to local TV station FOX17.

The defacement consisted of a YouTube video and written Arabic text. The YouTube video is a famous ISIS recruitment material from Abu Muhammad al-Adnani al-Shami, the official spokesperson and a senior leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

The video was published many years ago, but it’s still ominous even today, with al-Shami saying “We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses and enslave your women by the permission of Allah, the Exalted. This is His promise to us, He is glorified and He does not fail in His promise.”

C.C.S. Technologies, the company in charge of the church’s website restored the site the following day. Attendance to the church’s next sermon was of only six people….

    Don’t know what the church has to complain of. This is simply what the Catholic bishops, including you, Bishop McManus, call “interfaith dialogue” with Muslims.

      The Pope must not disagree with the because the followers of Islam are doing exactly as they threaten to Catholics and Christians around the world. Yet the Pope cannot bring himself to fight for them. He mouths meaningless platitudes on rare occasions featuring extreme atrocities where his customary silence would be interpreted as tacit approval. He puts his and the vatican’s real emphasis on lobbying world leaders to end global warming, end free enterprise and the denial of individual human rights in favor of submission to the collective.

        One of the greatest missionaries to Muslims was Samuel Zwemer, a member of the Reformed Church.

        • Kepha says

          Apr 26, 2016 at 9:07 am

          It’s a grudge. A while before Zwemer’s time, at the end of the 17th century, a man named Melchior Leydekker, who was both a physician and a pastor, went to Java to serve the Dutch East India Company and produced the first Bible in Malay. Zwemer himself once observed that it probably took a bit of Dutch Calvinist stubbornness to engage in mission to Muslims. We haven’t reaped much in those fields, but I’m sure that the imams and ‘ulema have never forgiven us for poaching in their fields.

      Agreed! Hamtramic, Dearborn, Flint, Saginaw, Detroit, Lansing, Travers City, Grand Rapids etc all have huge populations of Muslims. All with their own little Arabia’s within the greater metro areas. I know, it’s my home State. 🙁

    The coward is Obama, not the American people. He has encouraged muslims, praised them, backed them instead of Americans. He could say that there’s no need to back anyone as there are no ‘sides’. He’d be wrong, American citizens ARE at war with ISIS regardless of what Obama thinks.
    Muslims hate all animals including the human animal. Muslims don’t even love each other or their children (at least in the middle east).
    Muslims are in a class all their own on this blessed/cursed earth and need to be eradicated.

  4. Jay Boo says

    What is Islam?
    Without threats of violence, what is left?
    — Nothing but bitter Muslims who cling to their guns and religion with unbridled raw vanity in a futile desperate hope of staving off the slow soul squeezing agony from the crushing cage wrought from Islam’s shallow emptiness.

    We will break your crosses and enslave your women by permission of Allah.

    Somebody get on the phone to the mayor of Cologne and fill her in on this. Apparently Allah says that women can be enslaved, which lends credibility to the idea that this God also says rape is alright.

    This sounds like some sort of bizarre personal vendetta thing. I can’t even find a population of the city of Lamont; the nearest city is Cooperville, which has 4,000 people. Which is a tiny community.

    My theory is that someone at the church “offended” a local Muslim, and this was their way of getting even.

    BTW, there is a Mosque in Grand Rapids, which isn’t too far away.

    • Jim says

      Apr 25, 2016 at 7:20 pm

      I would guess there are no “local” muslims in Lamont (Pop 100 or so) or Coopersville for that matter. Lamont is a nice homey place in the middle of farm country and the church is tiny.

      ….My theory is that someone at the church “offended” a local Muslim, and this was their way of getting even….

      ya, someone probably looked the wrong way at a young turk and he was offended, or, some other minor matter occurred and he was offended

      it must be easy to be offended when you’re spoiling for a fight.

      not knowing the law of YAHWEH (you shall not kill) and believing that the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) knows better, and; that you are a slave of the allah god and willing to prove your worthiness to it, it must be easy to be offended. given permission to work mayhem any way, it must be easy to be offended

      adherents to way of the allah god think they have much to teach they do not know that YAHWEH is offended and is able to kill the soul of such, especially should they continue in their ignorance and sin; condemnation will be what they hear at the End unless they repent, i.e,.change the way they think and act … something they won’t hear in the mosque.

    First, ISIS has the intention of doing all those things “by the permission of Allah.” Maybe the god of Islam,Allah, has given ISIS “permission” to do evil Nevertheless is because the Islamic god not the God of the Bible. For example,in the Koran,the “holy book”this god of Islam teaches in 112 “He is God alone: God the eternal he begetteth not…” In great contrast the Scriptures of the God of the Bible. it teaches in John1:14. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory ,the glory as of the only begotten of the Father ,full of grace and truth.” Further, in John 316. It gives the important information that “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” So since the God of the Bible and the god of Islam is not the same,it might be that the vicious god of Islam has given ISIS permission to do evil. Second,the god of Islam likes it when non-Muslims [Kafirs] die. For example, the day after the London train bombing, on July 8, 2005 on Palestinian television Imam Suliman Satari said “Annihilate the Infidels
 Allah count them and kill them, to the last one and don’t leave even one.” Furthermore Imam Abu Hamza Al-Masri said “What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when Kafiers get killed. [1]
    As shown in an earlier posting the god of Islam is not the same god as the God of the Bible. The above words of these Imams reflect the example of Islam’s prophet and the teachings of the Quran. “Muhammad now fell upon them [the Jews] slew all the men, nine hundred of them
”[2]
    Moreover, the Quran reads “When ye encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads, until ye have made great slaughter among them. Verily if Allah pleased, He could take vengeance on them without your assistance, but He commandeth you to fight His Battles.” 47:4
    In short, these Imams and their murderous prophet with their bloody Quran show the world what Islam really is. After all, Jesus did teach “by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:20. [KJV]

      68 Een psalm van David. Een lied voor de koordirigent.

      2 Als God aantreedt, vluchten Zijn vijanden alle kanten uit; zij snellen weg om Hem niet te hoeven zien, alle mensen die Hem haten.

      3 U verdrijft hen. Zoals rook uit elkaar drijft en was in de warmte smelt, zo blijft van de ongelovigen niets over als God eraan komt.

      (The opening of Psalm 68 in Dutch)

        And here’s the 1566 metrical version, which the Sea Beggars sang as they raided Spanish shipping during the Eighty Years’ War. :

        Vers 1
        De HEER zal opstaan tot den strijd;
        Hij zal Zijn haters, wijd en zijd,
        Verjaagd, verstrooid, doen zuchten;
        Hoe trots Zijn vijand wezen moog’,
        Hij zal voor Zijn ontzagg’lijk oog,
        Al sidderende vluchten.
        Gij zult hen, daar G’ in glans verschijnt,
        Als rook en damp, die ras verdwijnt,
        Verdrijven en doen dolen.
        ‘t Godd’loze volk wordt haast tot as;
        ‘t Zal voor Uw oog vergaan, als was,
        Dat smelt voor gloĂȘnde kolen.

    Even the most casual observer will note that the Obama administration is pushing two policies very hard: Gun control and Muslim immigration. Obama is the most effective gun salesman in American history. Remington, Winchester, Colt, Garand, and Kalashnikov were all rank amateurs compared to Obama. Exercise your Second Amendment rights.

      To the ISIS people: Hear the words of the Risen and Glorified Jesus Christ:

      …Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp, two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in its strength. And when I [John the Apostle] saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not: I am the first and the last, and the living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades (Rev. 1:16-18).

      The two-edged sword proceeding from the mouth of the living and glorified Jesus is the Word of God, and it is far sharper than the sword of ‘Ali. You see that Jesus was dead (crucifixion–which was the atonement for our sins) and rose again from the dead. He is so glorious that one who knew him when alive fell at his feet as if dead on seeing him. Yet you know perfectly well that while Jesus, body and soul, is in Heaven, ruling until the day he will judge the living and the dead, Muhammad lies in a grave in Medina, awaiting the day when he will be one of those judged.

      Dear ISIS: your hope is in a book that simply asks us to trust it because of exaggerated claims by its author. You should turn and believe in a savior who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, and then rose from the dead, showing that he is indeed the Son of God. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him, should not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16).

    Apr 25, 2016 at 7:57 pm

    Well, the hacking has been curious. Maybe they are practicing. Awhile back the “Cyber Caliphate” led by Junaid Hussain (“Mr. Terror”) was more adroit, hacking names and addresses of U.S. servicemen for targeting, and getting himself killed in retaliation by a drone strike. The real hacker in that case, Ardit Ferizi of Kosovo, Hussain’s collaborator, was arrested (in Malaysia) and faces a long time in a U.S. prison. According to Softpedia.

    A few weeks ago this “United Cyber Caliphate” hacked some 20 small businesses in Australia, seemingly at random since they were mostly tire (tyre) and wheel shops, along with a Mexican food catering company and a natural herb website. Their message read “In the name of Allah, we are United Cyber Caliphate. Obey Islamic State. Your system is fail. Islamic State #rules.”

    They didn’t demand free tires (tyres). Or enchiladas.

    Then, more ominously, it posted a list of 3,602 prominent New Yorkers it wants dead, addresses included. Now a small church (137 members) in a small city in Michigan. 131 of whom need to be back in church this Sunday. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
