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

Obama admin set to transfer up to 24 more jihadis from Gitmo

The jihad ranks need reinforcements.

Guantanamo

“Obama admin set to transfer up to 24 more detainees from Gitmo,” FoxNews.com, May 25, 2016:

The Obama administration is preparing to transfer up to 24 additional detainees out of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp this summer, Fox News has learned.

The move comes as President Obama continues to try to close the camp in the face of congressional resistance. The administration so far has reduced the population from 242 detainees to 80.

But one official said the detainees remaining at the camp represent the “worst of the worst.”

The official was not confident the countries ultimately receiving these terrorists would be up to the task of keeping them locked up or even tracking them. While an Obama administration task force found many detainees should remain in U.S. custody, a new review board in 2011 looked at the cases and reached a different conclusion, though much of the evidence was the same.

The White House still maintains that closing the camp makes the most sense.

“It’s a recruiting tool for those who wish to do us harm,” spokesman Eric Schultz said.

Still, the most recent issue of Al Qaeda’s propaganda magazine said it’s the Arab-Israeli conflict that drives Al Qaeda recruitment – not the detention center. The issue says: “Many have joined jihad because of the Palestinian ‘rhetoric’ compared to Guantanamo.”…

    It is a mistake to detain prisoners without trial. They need to be put before a court of law in the interests of justice and to avoid giving Islam something to use as propaganda and to avoid allowing grievances to build up in innocent prisoners (if there are any). One big failing of the camp is the prisoners’ being given the Quran, with the guards pussyfooting around their sensibilities. It would be far better to give them a copy of the New Testament. Savagery needs to be drawn out of prisoners mired in the violence of the Quran.

      @ Phil Horaia. I thought prisoners of war did not get a trial, unless they were war criminals. Islam is always at war, so if these are our Islamic terrorist enemies why would they not be there until Islamic terrorism is defeated. Prisoners of war are held until the war is over, or else they return to try to defeat us.

      Obama is a traitor to our nation to release Islamic terrorists who would harm us.

      If these men have committed war crimes, then a trial. If they are war prisoners, how do you justify a trial?

      During WW2 if captured enemy were not in uniform, weren’t they were considered spies and subject to execution?

      What you said it does not serve the freedom and the interests of US. You should go to Saudi and speak about human rights or women rights. People like you are destroying US and it serves as Trojan Horse in the heart of the Western World. You must be one of those socialist liberals or Bernie or Hillary.
      Trump will clean the house soon as the American people want.

    “It’s a recruiting tool for those who wish to do us harm,” spokesman Eric Schultz said.

    HA! Free speech against Islam and resisting sharia law are all the recruiting tools they need. Some small detention centre where they even get to practice their death cult rituals means shit to them!

      ————————————————————————-

      (It’s the anti-MO film)
      Hillary, Kerry, Obama disagree depending on the moment and whichever part of Islam’s butt has the most kissing need.

      Supporting the following plays into the hands of terrorists they claim.

      Free speech, Anti – sharia laws, opposing open door Muslim invasion, etc.

    Obama is in a mad rush to try and shut that place down for the very real fear that he might end up there after the investigations begin at the end of his regime.

    He doesn’t care if they go back to killing American soldiers. He hates American soldiers.

    “It’s a recruiting tool for those who wish to do us harm,” spokesman Eric Schultz said.

    It’ll continue to be after being shut down, and the prisoners will be out there waging jihad against America and the West in general.

    Thank you for this extremely important video.
    It makes sense. We should limit islam and contain it.

    Off topic……Many Black Americans will never understand that Obama was not our first Black POTUS. He is the first Muslim POTUS and sold out Blacks along with our men and women in uniform including our Police. The only thing he did for Blacks was invite the extremist group BLM to the white house.

    Hussein loves to release extreme Jihadist and he and his administration have pardoned 80,000 US felons during his tenure per FOXnews.com.
    People from other countries do not have the rights of a US citizen ad nauseum, let alone a lowly Jihadi POW.

    Ain’t that the truth! Courage arises in the face of fear and fear of failure.
