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

Al-Qaeda calls for jihad murder of U.S. business leaders

May 16, 2016 4:15 pm By Robert Spencer

“We will never put down our weapons until we fulfill what Allah wants from us. We are determined to keep fighting and striking Americans with operations by organized jihadi groups and by Lone Jihad, pursuing America in its homeland — by the will of Allah.” Watch for much more jihad violence inside the U.S. — because, you know, doing anything effective to prevent it such as halting Muslim immigration or monitoring mosques would be “Islamophobic.”

Inspire AQ targeted assassinations

“Al Qaeda magazine calls for targeting American business leaders,” Fox News, May 16, 2016:

The latest issue of Al Qaeda’s online magazine Inspire released Saturday calls on would-be jihadis to undermine the American economy by targeting business leaders and entrepreneurs, according to analysts who monitor web chatter from the jihadist organization.

The newest edition obtained by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) features a cover with the headline “Professional Assassinations” and the subhead “Home Assassinations,” which the depiction of a hooded killer watching an upscale home from the outside.

Additional photos include in the issue include one of Microsoft founder Bill Gates splatted in blood with a pistol nearby. The magazine is published by Al Qaeda’s main affiliate located in Yemen, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

MEMRI quotes Inspire’s editor, Yahya Ibrahim, as opening the issue by saying “assassination is an effective toll in warfare,” and notes that “The prophet ordered the killing of many criminal leaders using this method … And here we are, following the footsteps of the prophet on how he dealt with his enemies and friends.”

Ibrahim adds in this issue that the focus of the previous issue of Inspire was what he called “workplace” assassinations, and hopes to expand on the same topic in the current issue, which AQAP hopes will lead to training and preparing a more “professional” type of lone wolves.

“We will never put down our weapons until we fulfill what Allah wants from us. We are determined to keep fighting and striking Americans with operations by organized jihadi groups and by Lone Jihad, [and] pursuing America in its homeland — by the will of Allah,” MEMRI quotes Ibrahim as saying….

    Sounds like more and more of this violence is coming to America. As I posted on another topic, where I live our Christian radio stations are playing an ad for a Security company offering to train selected Members of a Church’s Congregation in the use of firearms for security reasons. Although they don’t name who/what the threat is,…..we all know what is coming.

    Is it time to form “Christian Militia’s” yet? (Think Lebanon in the 1970’s)

      The town I was born in was founded in 1638, and the earliest records note that all male members has to bring their muskets to church. Bandits, pirates and hostile Pequots imperiled their lives at the time. Devout muslms are likely to attack where they expect the most defenseless to congregate, brave (not so) souls that they are .

        The church’s major holy days are the main targets: Christmas and Easter. The jihadists want major casualties. These are the days when armed defenders should be sitting near the rear doors especially of large churches.

          Muslims know better than to pull that crap on church’s major holy days in the US where they are far out numbered and out gunned.

          Muslim themselves are too easy a target whenever they bend over to kiss their carpets.

      Let’s hope it works out better for us than for the Lebanese Christians.

      Of course, there are not so many Mohammedans here–not yet, any way.

      To be effective with firearms against an adversary I requires a certain resolve and training to use the weapon. I am not an American but I am glad that Americans bear arms to protect the first anendment which affects everyone. I would say take the training.

    Well, this reveals ONE thing at the very least.

    ISIS has absolutely NO idea how America operates, or even of its sheer size and scale.

    How many “business leaders” would you have to assasinate in order to have ANY effect on the US economy ? Thousands ? Tens of thousands ?

    Is it conceivable that they don’t understand this, and they think the USA has a population the size of Belgium, and could be so easily assaulted ? Don’t they realise that there are 10 times more USA enforcement officials than the entire membership of ISIS ?

    Is this just the usual empty Arab bluster, or are they TRULY that insular and ignorant ?

      It’s not just about size. Muslims have no idea how innovation and productive labor work in general.

        Hi Graven,

        Wow! ‘Muslims’, ‘innovation’, ‘productive’, ‘labor’ & ‘work’.

        All in one sentence, how did you do that?

    • Polk1970 says

      Not that there’s a difference,but this one is Al-Queda

        Actually.. that’s a good point Polk1970… my bad.
        Even so, would I not be right in thinking that NO Islamic terrorist organisation – Al Quada, Islamic Jihad, the PLO etc…. has had ANY success at “targeted assassinations” in the USA. All they can do is random attacks against crowds ?

    Bill Gates: Politely ask some truly independent, senior people with world-wide experience to research Hillary’s international and domestic record going back at least to 1963.

    Then ask them to predict whether Hillary would STICK to any deal that your people could make with her for your and your family’s protection. Can anyone trust her?

    Didn’t think so, either.

    These at not from Mohammad’s commands, they come straight from Satan!!!

    • abad says

      May 16, 2016 at 8:47 pm

      Mohammad is the mouthpiece for Satan.

      Muslims really need to stop killing people in the name of Allah if they ever want to get any respect from the non-Muslim world.

      My guess is that is not going to happen any time soon.

    They are threatening to execute these people, for wotever reason.
    Really, they have already decided that they will kill all infidels eventually.
    It has already begun, before your very eyes, enjoy the show.
    This threat of murder is the bullying already in operation, before your very eyes, enjoy the show.
    If a bully starts on a weaker defenceless person, then the friends of that weaker defenceless person rally round to help their friend.
    “He that is thy friend indeed
    He will help thee in thy need”
    Oh, we can’t have these infidels being friends with each other, let’s divide them up, get them to be displeased with each other.
    Where’s the unity?
    Where’s the community?
    Islam is not divided.
    Infidels are divided by reason upon reason upon reason.
    To be polite.

      Um, it appears to me that the Jihadi’s are getting their butt’s kicked, by each other and by the coalition forces and haven’t done much at all but squawk like chickens “allah-akhbar allah-akhbar”… Maybe allah is getting too old and is hard of hearing, so the Jihadi’s need to squawk louder. 🙂

    This is the old good jihadi/bad jihadi trick.

    Bad jihadi walks in and says “We’re gonna kill your business leaders”.

    And while your’re deciding whether to hate or hurt him, his smiley buddy walks in and says:-

    “Bill Gates is first”.

    So you shrug and think: ‘Oh well…’

  13. R Cole says

    It has been reported that some of these business leaders travel with protection that’s better than the secret service.

    Yet many lecture that others should not worry about threats of terrorism coming from Islam. [If not they fund the political campaigns and activists groups who tell us – pointing out that such safety concerns are ‘racist’, ‘xenophobic’ and ‘hateful’.]

    Similarly western leaders who have grown accused to high levels of protection – seem to be equally nonchalant about public safety vis a vis Islam.

    Obama said – Americans are more likely to die from slipping in the bathtub – than be killed in a terrorist attack.

    In Belgium – some Muslims had the head of the nuclear power plant tagged – his movements watched.

    In the UK – a British Navy officer defected and traveled to join ISIS.

    With the focus on this so-called ‘Islamophobia’ [such things that offend Islam] over security – it is only a matter of time before the unthinkable occurs.

      It wasn’t a British Naval officer – he was just a merchant seaman with no knowledge of the military.

      Still pretty embarrassing though.

    Weapon production requires a business plan, cost control, revenue and sales and marketing. Wipe these out and you have no weapons to put down ,you ignorant barbatrians.

    Jun 2, 2016 at 6:43 am

    Somehow, I doubt that ISIS uses American-made weapons ? I would have thought Pakistani copies of a Chinese copy of a Slovakian copy of an AK-47 would be more their style ?
