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

Islamic State jihadi: “Do you think you’re at war with a small group of Mujahedeen in Iraq, Syria, Libya and other places?”

Jun 20, 2016 10:57 am By Robert Spencer

“Do you think you’re at war with a small group of Mujahedeen in Iraq, Syria, Libya and other places? You are sadly mistaken.” Al-Amriki means that there are many, many other Muslims worldwide who consider themselves to be part of the jihad against the U.S. and the free world in general. And indeed, while Muslim groups in the U.S. universally condemn the Islamic State, most of them are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is not actually a “moderate” group but one that also wishes to establish a caliphate — just not the one that the Islamic State has established. They’re competitors, not Muslim groups with any significant differences in their understanding of Islam.

Regarding Omar Mateen, al-Amriki says: “Omar Mateen, one of the soldiers of the [caliphate], was one of the few that was truthful to his lord. While having prepared his weapons and taken steps, while having trust and reliance upon Allah, it is through his hand that Allah punished his enemies.”

That’s a Qur’anic reference, not that anyone in the FBI will notice or care: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts.” (Qur’an 9:14-15) Why does that matter? Because if these men are patterning their actions after the Qur’an, then the Qur’an and Sunnah might provide more insight into their priorities, world view, and future plans. But that line of inquiry would, of course, be “Islamophobic.”

Abu Ismail al-Amriki

“Alleged American ISIS fighter praises Orlando gunman in new video,” Fox News, June 19, 2016:

An ISIS fighter identified as an American praised the Orlando gunman in a new video.

A man identified as an American ISIS fighter praised the Orlando nightclub gunman and urged more attacks on the U.S. in a video released by the terror group on Sunday – exactly one week after Omar Mateen slaughtered 49 people inside a Florida nightclub.

During Mateen’s massacre, which also wounded 53 people, he called a 911 operator to pledge allegiance to ISIS. The terror group quickly claimed credit for the attack; however, officials have said there was no direct guidance from the jihadist organization. Rather, it is believed Mateen was only inspired by ISIS to carry out his assault on Pulse, a gay nightclub.

But in the new video, identified by the non-governmental counterterrorism organization SITE, the American fighter urges other Muslims to be inspired by Mateen’s actions.

“Omar Mateen, one of the soldiers of the [caliphate], was one of the few that was truthful to his lord,” Abu Isma’il Al-Amriki says. “While having prepared his weapons and taken steps, while having trust and reliance upon Allah, it is through his hand that Allah punished his enemies.”…

One of the Islamists reference a “surprise” operation during the Euro 2016 tournament in France, NBC reported.

The slogan “You are not held responsible except for yourself” is also featured in the video, with an image of President Obama on one side, Mateen on the other and images of the Orlando slaughter in-between.

“Do you think you’re at war with a small group of Mujahedeen in Iraq, Syria, Libya and other places? You are sadly mistaken. And do you think you can defeat us by bombarding our homes with the help of your drones and F-16s [and government groups]? Then again, you have sadly made a great mistake,” Al-Amriki says. “Oh America, indeed you are at war with all the true and sincere Muslims around the world.”

    The families and relatives of these jihadists always act shocked when one of their own kills for islam. But if muslims can’t know their closest kin and friends are jihadists then how in the hell can we? We can’t. So the best response is to shut down muslim immigration.

    But of course they do know, they know their faith will produce killers like Omar. Muslims who act surprised when their members terrorize and kill are not sincere in their claims. These muslims are apathetic and obtuse with their claims of ignorance. “What? a muslim killed infidels for our religion that says kill the infidel? Shocking!” It’s an insult to our intelligence, as if they are totally unaware of the jihad obligation in their religion to kill or subjugate the infidel. Taqiyya, that’s all we get.

    If the world’s fight against Hitler’s Nazis had relied on the ability to discern “moderate” Germans from the “radical” we’d all be speaking German right now. If we think we can do that with muslims, know the “good” from the bad, then we’re kidding ourselves. We dealt with those Germans the only way we could, en masse. We need to do the same with muslims. They are going to continue to be “surprised” until the day they take over. It’s up to us to make sure that doesn’t happen.

      As we know, America debunked and dragged into the 20C, kicking & screaming, the notion of ‘Bushido’ and Imperial governance of Japan. It wasn’t easy but they did it. WW2 was a bloody affair. Can it be done with 7C Islam, which very few identify as a geopolitical fascist ideology?
      God Bless America.

    Yep. Even the ‘moderate’ muslima who apparently does nothing Islamic but wear a scarf is giving moral support to the jihadis. And if she visits the mosque and makes the zakat donations then she is almost certainly also giving monetary support.

    There are no innocent mohammedans.

    Yeah, that’s the elephant in the room – the islamic state urged muslims to carry out attacks on non-muslims and Mateen answered the call. Claiming that he had no direct guidance from the islamic state is a red herring meant to draw attention away from the chilling realization: how many more Mateens are out there?

    Satan’s
    people of the world , today are working against Christians of the world, with GOD as our leader. It seems that Satan has more soldiers that does GOD. Satan’s soldier are vicious and will do anything to win, GOD’S soldiers foll GOD and strive to be fair and follow HIS rules of love, and avoiding hatred for others. The only way to win and not destroy each other is to follow GOD’S rules, which the promote the continuing of life on this earth, while Satan’s rules are very destructive of all things good!!!.

    “Oh America, indeed you are at war with all the true and sincere Muslims around the world.”

    If only that were true, then

    Virtue against rage will take up arms

    And the battle will be short

    For that ancient valor in the American heart

    Is not yet dead.
