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

Jihadists pledge loyalty to Islamic State in first public declaration in South America, weeks before Olympics

Jul 19, 2016 12:51 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Less than three weeks before the Olympics, a group of jihadists has declared its allegiance to the Islamic State. The most dangerous part of the threat posted on Instagram is this: “If the French police can not stop attacks on its territory, training given to the Brazilian police will not do anything.”

This is the first public declaration from such a group in South America, and it represents the continued threat of the Islamic State globally. No infidel is immune; they are relentless, they continue to attract young Muslims with their zeal, and indoctrinate them into a doctrine of death, feeding them lies about rewards in paradise and giving them a so-called purpose and a gold star of martyrdom.

The threat increases to Western innocents, yet every lame excuse is still provided by leftists to undercut the seriousness of this threat. Both stealth and violent jihadists work in tandem, and the West has been easy prey, even accepting of the jihadist terrorizing of the once-free West, as French Prime Minister declared: “France is going to have to live with terrorism”. Really?

Brazil--Olympics---jihad threat

“Brazil extremists declare loyalty to Isil in first public declaration in South America, weeks ahead of Olympics”, by Donna Bowater, The Telegraph, July 19, 2016:

A group of extremists in Brazil has apparently declared loyalty to the Islamic State (Isil) less than three weeks before the country hosts the 2016 Olympics.

A channel called “Ansar al-Khilafah Brazil” on messaging app Telegram pledged allegiance to Isil leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, according to US-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi networks.

One message reportedly said: “If the French police can not stop attacks on its territory, training given to the Brazilian police will not do anything.”

It is believed to be the first public declaration from a group in South America.

Rita Katz, director of SITE, said the timing was “intentional”.

“Pledge comes shortly before Olympics,” she tweeted. “Western-language ISIS channels (English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, etc) showing drastic increase in both quality and speed.”

The alert was raised earlier this month when Isil created a Portuguese channel on Telegram, indicating it was aiming propaganda at Brazil in the run-up to the Games.

Since then, security services in Brazil have issued reassurances that there has been no threat of an attack identified.

And security preparations have been ramped up in the wake of the Nice attack, which killed 84.

Last week, an inquiry into the Paris attacks revealed that a plot against the French Olympic delegation had been foiled ahead of the Games.

At the weekend, it also emerged that four people with known links to terrorism had been refused accreditation for Rio 2016.

Armed forces carried out a simulated attack training exercise at a train station near the Deodoro Games venue on Saturday and were due to take part in another at Rio’s international airport on Tuesday.

Over the weekend, 22,000 troops arrived in Rio amid final preparations and training exercises….

      Well, unlike Germany, the U.K., France and even Israel, Brasil has special military police units called BOPE. The unit based out of Rio has spent over 40 years fighting drag gangs and cartels in Rio’s favelas and has been labelled as a death squad. These BOPE operatives are like Rottweilers, they hunt and then they kill. If those ROP jihadis run into these boys, they are going to end up in pieces.

    Yeah, no, gonna have to stop you right there, moron. Are you aware of the Brazilian police track record? To put it mildly, they – allegedly, of course – are the trigger-happy, murderous entity BLM claims the American police is. You raise your voice a bit too high and you end up with your brains splattered on the wall. Oh, and that’s if the drug barons don’t get to you first – let the people running the favelas know your endgame involves killing people who use and deal in drugs and/or prostitution and all the police will need to do is show up to fill in a “missing person” report – they’ll never find the bodies…

      @Angenon,

      ”Oh, and that’s if the drug barons don’t get to you first ”

      I wont bet on the drug lords. They are scumbags and their loyalty is only to money.

      They can be easily won over with petro-dollars.

      Lives of ”Gringos” do not matter to them.

    I’m afraid a jihad attack at the games in Brazil is imminent. There are many negative signs.

    I was in Panama two weeks ago and got startled to notice several women donning full burkas and many wearing hijabs, also several men wearing robes and beards “a la Mohamed”. This is new. For several decades there has being a small Muslim community in Panama but they used to wear occidental clothes. I’m afraid Muslims in Panama are being influenced by Islamic fundamentalists.

    Let’s not forget Hugo Chaves romance with Iran. There were rumors that Chaves had allowed Hezbollah cells and training camps to establish in Venezuela.

    Also in the last few years there has been a big influx of illegal immigrants from Syria, Somalia, etc entering south America.

    Brazil is already a very violent country with entire communities ruled by narco gangs armed with heavy weapons. Goes without saying that Brazilian police is incompetent and corrupt.

    I don’t want to sound negative but current circumstances are the recipe for a disaster. If advanced countries with powerful intelligence agencies can not stop terrorists what can we expect from Brazil?

    Very worrying.

    Let’s hope the heavily armed Narco gangs running the Favellas decide to cleanse Brazil of these Mohamaden vermin. They will soon get a taste of their own medicine when the Narco gangs start dismembering these bearded filth whilst they scream for their lives. I hope the Narco gangs film every second of it, and post it on ISIS websites around the world.
    It is time for the Christian population of Brazil to launch a Crusade against the vile Islamic invaders and rid their nation of these vile scum.
    I can see Thomas De Tourqmada books flying from book stores across Brazil “101 ways to disembowel a Jihadist”

    ………………………………..

    Well, this is terrifying–but then, it is intended to be.

    More:

    A channel called “Ansar al-Khilafah Brazil”
    ………………………………..

    This translates to the “helpers of the Caliphate in Brazil”. “Helpers” does not give the full, ugly sense of the term–the “Ansari” were converts in Medina who fanatically enabled Muhammed to take over there.

    These Jihadists want to slaughter Infidels, and turn Brazil into another Muslim sh*thole.

    There has been a joke circulating in Brazil ever since the attacks of 9/11 in the USA.

    The story goes that Al Qaeda sent some mujahedins to take down that big statue of Christ Redemptor in Rio de Janeiro. When they landed at the airport they discovered their bags had been sent on to Paraguay by mistake They grabbed cab that turned out to be a pirate cab (fake) that took them down a dark alley where they were robbed. Later, with money hidden away in a pouch in their belt, they managed to buy some food but got a bad case of food poisoning and ended up in the hospital where they weren’t attended for 6 hours. After they got out they got beaten up… The story just goes on and on as they stumble through one disaster after another, each illuminating the kind of frustrations the average citizen often goes through. In the end they had no choice but to give up. I always loved that joke, but it has grown much too long to translate and present here. Perhaps with Google Translate you will get the idea… http://piadascontadas.blogspot.ca/p/as-operacoes-da-al-qaeda-no-brasil.html

    Just who decided to let the Olympics be held in Brazil, a totally corrupt 3rd world nation that cannot even feed itself.? It is sheer insanity and well as economic irresponsibility.

    As for law & order, perhaps the most reassuring aspect is that the Brazilian police are trigger happy. I understand that they have no problems in shooting feral street kids. Will the real criminals be interested in the games? Who knows but for small time criminals tourists are simply easy targets.

    As for a Islamic terror attack, these games will be a real target, hopefully the brute force of the Brazilian police and military will prevent it from happening.

    I was told that in the area of the Iguaçu Falls people see women in full black abaya…theres a big muslime community in the region.
    I’ve seen some in the local shopping mall…and other places in the US where I live… very troubling. The religion freedom of the west will be its doom.

      I am from that area (the Triple Border). There are zero Muslims at the Iguazu waterfalls. At least I have never seen one and I have been to that place many times. All of the Muslims live in Paraguay. They are Shiites with possible connections to Hezbollah. Muslims represent 0.02% of the Brazilian population.

    If the west wants to survive, it needs to stop the muslim invasion, plus, anyone who joins ISIS shoul get the immediate death penalty. The muslim dress , veils, beard should be forbidden.. I ship all of them back to the hell hole they came from.But we have to have people with a set of b—- to do it.

    Jul 21, 2016 at 10:03 am

    Muslims represent 0.02% of the Brazilian population, which is overwhelmingly Christian (86,8%). I would like to see those Muslims try something against BOPE. BOPE, the Brazilian special forces police, will slowly torture them to death. No, it is not a joke nor an exaggeration. Even drug dealers pee their pants when they see a BOPE operative.
