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

Islamic State threatens to expose UK military secrets after publishing USAF hit list

May 1, 2016 11:51 am By Robert Spencer

“Islamic State terrorists have threatened to publish details of British military personnel after exposing a ‘hit-list’ of American drone pilots and urging fanatics to ‘kill them wherever they are.'”

“And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing.” (Qur’an 2:191)

“They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)

“And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Qur’an 9:5)

“Islamic State threatens to expose British military secrets after publishing US Air Force ‘hit list,'” by David Barrett, Telegraph, May 1, 2016:

Islamic State terrorists have threatened to publish details of British military personnel after exposing a “hit-list” of American drone pilots and urging fanatics to “kill them wherever they are”.

The jihadi extremists circulated the names, home addresses and photographs of 76 United States Air Force personnel and claimed it had also stolen “secret intelligence” from Britain’s Ministry of Defence.

The claims, which could not be verified, encouraged Islamist terrorists to find and “behead” the Americans, in imitation of the tactic used on the streets of London in 2013 by the murderers of Drummer Lee Rigby.

The group, which calls itself the “Islamic State Hacking Division”, said in its online posting: “In our next leak we may even disclose secret intelligence the Islamic State has just received from a source the brothers in the UK have spent some time acquiring from the Ministry of Defence in London as we slowly and secretly infiltrate England and the USA online and off.”

Publishing photographs and purported home addresses of the American military personnel it said: “Kill them wherever they are, knock on their doors and behead them, stab them, shoot them in the face or bomb them.”

However, scrutiny of the information showed it did not appear to be the result of a leak or genuine hack, The Sunday Times said.

In a development which may offer military chiefs some reassurance over the safety of their IT systems, the 76 names appeared to have been gleaned from news articles and military newsletters before being matched with publicly-available data on the internet, such as telephone records.

The terrorists’ hacking division was previously led by Junaid Hussain, a former computer hacker from Birmingham killed by a US drone strike in Syria last August.

His wife Sally Jones, a former punk rocker, mother-of-two and Muslim convert from Chatham, Kent, is still believed to be involved with the organisation.

The data was published by the terrorists on a Polish-based file-sharing site called JustPaste.it which boasts that it offers “secure content publishing that even NSA [the US National Security Agency]won’t be able to break”.

Among those named on the list are Lieutenant-General Sean MacFarland, the US commander leading the coalition against Isis in Syria and Iraq, whose identity is already in the public domain.

At least five British Isis fighters, including Hussain, 21, and Mohammed Emwazi, 27, the murderer from London known as Jihadi John, have been killed by the drone programme, which is mainly run from bases in Nevada and New Mexico.

Sally Jones met Hussain online and followed him to Syria in 2013 with Jojo, her 10-year-old son from a previous relationship.

After Hussain was killed she wrote on Twitter under the name Umm Hussain Britaniya: “I’m proud my husband was killed by the biggest enemy of Allah, may Allah be pleased with him, and I will never love anyone but him.

“The Crusaders think they win when they kill us. They don’t we win.”…

    “The Crusaders think they win when they kill us. They don’t we win.

    This is a true observation. Maybe being a convert from Infidelia brought her this keen perspective. We can’t we, and we don’t win then they win. For example, it’s a popular notion among presidential candidates and Fox RINO military analysts that we lack the will to bomb ISIS into oblivion. This is a fine sentiment, but omits the part about those bombs also wiping out the civilian population amongst which the New Caliphs are hiding for protection. Or that the population inherently supports ISIS. Or that the media will go crazy on the racist xenophobic religious bigotry mas murder killings of Moslem innocents. Or that this will increase ISIS recruiting and donations from thousands of Saudi princes. We’re stuck it a downward spiral. We’re caught in a Catch 22 and it ain’t gonna end well for us.

      About Mohammed’s evil doctrine, John Quincy Adams (a U.S. President) wrote: “he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust: to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and goodwill towards men.”

      I disagree with this, Islam is the religion of might makes right and the one thing Muslims do respect is strength. It is not outrage or resentment over our attacks against them, but opportunism in the face of our weakness that is the source of Muslim aggression. A convincing display by the West to the Islamic world that we are quite happy and prepared to evaporate, from the safety of drones and bombers, as many of them as it takes to get them to pipe down and start behaving, they would buck up their ideas very, very quickly.

      The only time we’ve ever had any peace with Muslims is in the aftermath of successful military offensives against them.

        Spot on, Oligarch

        Muslims work themselves up into such an Allahu Akbar frenzy when (Peace at any Cost) infidels get fearful and defensive.
        If we are ever to enjoy our Ham & Egg omelets in peace we might very well need to first crack open a few eggs.

        The evil Imam List
        The UK might need to publish a list of all potential anti-UK hate speech instigatiing jihadists.
        All UK imams would be an obvious choice.

        addendum
        I agree specifically with “Muslims do respect is strength” but not necessarily with wholesale bombing in particular. — tactical versus strategic

          While I wasn’t specifically recommending that as a course of action, I am ambivalent over the question of whether something like it will need to be done. The more times you let your boundaries be violated without a response the more drastic will be the action necessary to enforce them once again. I fear that with the truly sickening level of weakness and cowardice daily displayed by the West, in various forms, it actually will take some kind of horrifying bloodbath to get anybody to take us seriously ever again. It’s a shame as well, since we were until quite recently so overwhelmingly powerful we probably need never have fought again so long as everybody maintained the belief that we meant business.

    “Fitnah is worse than killing.” (Qur’an 2:191)

    This verse gives all Muslims the right to commit vigilante murder of critics of Islam or apostates. The hadiths make it clear that such murders are approved and praised by Mohammed. The Koran and Sunna of the prophet agree that vigilante murder is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

    All Muslims know this and lie with they pretend they don’t. All Muslims are forced to become skillful liars, especially to each other.

      Very Wrong about one thing

      “All Muslims are forced” — to do nothing.
      Islam is a choice.

      Islam is also a shabby shameless excuse.

    I am just sick of hearing/reading these daily threats from a group of insane psycopath! Why they haven’t yet been squashed like the cockroaches they are is an incomprehensible mystery!
    If our deranged leaders could just display the guts/backbone of a feisty 9 year old boy scout, this problem would have been dealt with LONG AGO!
    My 80 year old granny shows more guts living in the forest alone! There has to be a special place in he’ll reserved for these psycopaths and every “leader” who sat on his/her hands doing nothing to stop them!

    One of the explanation as to how such totally unconscionable, ruthless, vicious actions and murderous are committed by the Muslim terrorists who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS is answer in the following . The jihadists of ISIS are engaging in the Islamic doctrine of “Muruna” which is the dogma of Islam that teaches committing evil for the greater good is a noble part of the jihad for Islam. This is, in essence, the same type of “philosophy” that the communists had gone by in the twentieth century. That it’s a “good thing “ to commit many evils to obtain a “worker’s paradise.” Likewise, during World War II even the Nazis had this line of thinking.” To express, as in to illustrate this idea, even more, is by using a twenty-first century movie. Near the end of this movie, just before the final defeat of the super-arch –villain General Zod , that super villain said “No matter how brutal and deadly I was I did it for the greater good.” That is the common mindset of many villains including those of ISIS.

    About that brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS. Most people know that the head and chief of that is a man who goes by the name of al Baghdadi By contrast, what few people seem to know is that al Baghdadi is just a figurehead and a puppet rulers of ISIS. That the actual and real head and chief of that heinous and dangerous jihad organization is someone else. Who that “someone else” has been exposed in the book entitled THE ISIS CRISIS by Charles Dyer. For on page 166 the author explains that “The ultimate commander of ISIS remains unseen by most of his followers, but he is not unknown. This commander is Satan himself… Satan moves across the earth ‘like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.’ [First Peter 5:8.] Therefore, the vicious jihadist thugs who compose ISIS are, in realty, vicious, malicious and deluded fools who are being use by Satan, as his stooges and tools, to inflict demonic murderous harm on humankind. So must so that those violent wicked and insanely deluded jihad savages who make up ISIS are like those callous characters described in the Bible in Ecclesiastes 9:3. That teaches “The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterwards they join the dead.” In addition, those malice-filled fiendish jihadists of ISIS are so very bloodthirstily, ruinous dangerous and murderous that they are similar to, in character, the hideous villains described in the Bible. Which reads “Their feet are swift to shed blood: ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know.” Romans 3:15-17. [N.I.V.]

    Am I the only one outraged that this sensitive information is even out there to be hacked?

    I’m sorry…I realize we live in a technological age, but military secrets, strategy and personal information regarding military personnel should NOT be posted on-line.

    “The Crusaders think they win when they kill us. They don’t we win.

    Hmmmmm. That’s in line with what Trudeau said (“if you kill your enemies, they win”). I wonder if the shiny pony and Sally Jones are having an e-fling?…

      Deviating somewhat from the main drive here, I’m tired of the musclemen using the term ‘Crusader’ so easily. After all, the crusades were a reaction to at least four hundred years of muslim mayhem!

    I don’t know about the UK, but here on our Yankee side of the pond, it is clear that the only secret we can keep is the academic record of the supposedly most brilliant POTUS ever–and one of those who has aided and abetted the hemorrhaging of our national secrets is our former SecState, who will in all likelihood be the first female President of the USA–the loud whooppees and huzzahs come not only from the predictable liberal crowd in the USA, but from the analysts in Chinese and Russian intelligence services as well.

    They didn’t “hack” these sites – their muslim employees already have full access.

    Short and brief. England enemies vary but mark this down, the chief head of the snake body is the SAUDI. They control all your mosques and had total control of who, when and where to attack through Satellite communication. The Saudi is the one who gives order to the USA drone commander who, when, how to attack their set target. Through traitor in the Whitehouse they manage to control vast areas of our military which will stop when Trump enter and purge these noxious culture entry. Please you English smart people need to stand up and cast out those filthy lying Palestinians who breath to lie and live to kill Jews. They are nothing but walking human excrement of filth and lies. Do not let them spread anymore lies in your universities. Majority of you English are aware they are nothing but Liars which everything is contorted to hurting the Jew. Remove these evil filth out of your nation and the sun will shine again.
