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

Islamic State kidnaps over 300 Syrian workers

Apr 7, 2016 11:17 am By Robert Spencer

The Syrian cement company workers must have done something to provoke the poor dears, right? Maybe they drew Muhammad in the cement? Surely they must have done something to poke them in the eye. Or is the West going to have to admit at some point that the Islamic State wants to terrorize non-Muslims for reasons of its own (based on Islamic texts and teachings), and no amount of appeasement or willful ignorance is going to change that? “ISIS kidnaps more than 300 Syrian workers, state TV reports,” Fox News, April 7, 2016:

The Islamic State terror group has kidnapped more than 300 workers at a Syrian cement company, state TV reported Thursday.

The al-Badia Cement Company reportedly has its headquarters northeast of Damascus, where ISIS had launched a surprise attack on government troops earlier this week.

Syrian officials said the employer lost all contact with the workers and contractors. They said the kidnapping unfolded near the town of Dumeir, some 25 miles outside Syria’s capital….

    This situation has gone beyond rediculou. And our ggovernment continues to bring in these beastly creatures by the tens of thousands?
    When will the voice of the people yell so loud that it can no longer be ignored? How many more innocent men, women and babies must die in the name of islam (SATAN WORSHIP) before our useless drones in Washington are forced to take action? This is just beyond unacceptable. And it seems to always be getting worse, not better. Due to inaction.
    A big part of the problem is that most of our citizens are no atheists or agnostic. Very few of us really have any solid spiritual believes anymore.
    One they can view this as more then a simple Social issue we might stand a chance. Until then this is only going to worsen.

      David wrote that the lack of traditional religion in the USA results in more Muslim immigration. It doesn’t.

      The gaping lacuna of ignorance about the jihad doctrine is the problem.

      Pope Francis, John Kerry and David Cameron are among thousands of Western elites who have not taken the time to read the Islamic foundational source texts. They are culpably negligent in their duty as leaders.

      It is impossible to make sensible policy about Islam without knowing Islam from its own writings.

        I’m sorry. It was early and I didn’t get my message through. My point was, these muslims are doing all this EVIL in the name of their god and obscene prophet. The while question is a spiritual one and not one if culture or migration. There ate multiple facits to this whole issue.
        Following the dark Prince is just THE MAJOR ONE.
        But if more of the citizens of the civilized world had any sort of spiritual base to their thinking, this would have been recognized for what is really is from the very start! And this huge force for EVIL, islam would have never been let out of its cage!

          Hello again David. Islam left the cage of the Arabian desert 1400 years ago.

          Naïve Western elites are inviting large numbers of Islamic supremacists and misogynists into the West under the mistaken belief that Islam’s true beliefs are benign and that the West can assimilate Muslims easily.

          Voluntary assimilation of Muslims has never occurred in the history of Islam. Western elites don’t know Islamic history…that includes leaders in the churches, as well as those in the pew. They make assumptions about Islam, they make guesses about Islam. Their guesses are having deadly consequences for the West even at the insertion stage of Islam.

          The lack of knowledge about jihad is the deadly vulnerability of the West. Robert Spencer’s books are excellent sources of knowledge about jihad. They translate the findings of scholars for the lay person. I recommend you read Robert Spencer’s books for further information.

          No, but wrong is wrong and intelligent and moral persons of all belief systems would easily recognize that Islam is founded on plagiarized writings from the Jewish religion mixed in with brutal and savage Arabian culture.

          For the rational objective mind, Islam is founded on myths and immoral principles. One does not have to have any particular ideological background to see clearly that Islam is very wrong, very immoral, very totalitarian, very cruel, very contradictory, very primitive, and founded on silly myths and general stupidities.

        Exactly. Who will give them the islam viewpoint of the world ? There is not so much

        things to know .

        One , muslims are superior to everybody on earth because they have the

        right god , Allah, so the right book, Coran , the right messenger, Mohamed.

        Since muslims are superior human beings, they can and must lie , despise,

        rob , rape , injured, enslave and kill any non-muslim .

        The end of times will be near when mostly all men will be muslims.

        Every muslim task is to convert non -muslims. Become a martyr is a

        blessing for a muslim.

        In islam, the aim is the only thing that’s matters . Never trust a muslim

        too much . He might fool you a long time to get what he wants.

        A muslim is born muslim or converted. Once you are muslim you can’t apostise.

        Non -muslims if they convert are considered people coming back to their religion

        they didn’t knew they were in .

    They’re going to force them to build Trump-styled walls to crush gays under.

    “Maybe they drew Muhammad in the cement?”

    and turned him into a hardened criminal.

    and ISIS did not like that.

    How does one hide 300 people?

      By now , they rule over 80,000 square kilometers. They used to have 120,000.

      Th e 80,0000 sqare kilometers is about 1 /7 of France ( 550,000 sqare km).

    It seems ISIS will do cement in the next days . I don’t know what they want to build.

    Islam is not a great builder, usuallly.

    One issue too is that the general public does not read very much except nonsense posts on silly sites like Facebook and play dumbly on their so-called “smart phones”. Thus, they are too lazy to down load facts or purchase texts on Islam.

    The fact too that Islam claims to be a religion with the same supreme being as Judaism and Christianity, fools many naive people into believing that it cannot be less than good. Such people refuse to accept its intrinsic savage cruelty.

    Many Muslims say that they respect the Bible. Well , It seems that this claim, of respecting the Bible, is all talk. .As in all lip service and empty words and nothing more. As shown by the actions of those Muslims who are kidnappers. For the Bible strongly condemns the sin and crime of kidnapping For the Bible in reads “He who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall surely be put to death.” Exodus 21:16. [N.K.J.V.]
