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

Islamic State kills at least 60 in jihadi suicide bombing in Yemen

Aug 29, 2016 7:12 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Islamic State’s Amaq news agency issued a statement: “Around 60 dead in a martyrdom operation by a fighter from Islamic State targeting a recruitment centre in Aden city,” in accordance with Qur’an 9:111:

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.”

Yemen is embroiled in civil war between its current internationally-recognized government and a Saudi-led coalition against the Shiite Houthi rebels (loyal to a former president).

“The fighting has allowed al-Qaeda and an IS affiliate to expand their reach, particularly in the south.”

Expansion into new territory is and has been a concrete operational goal of the Islamic State in increasing the caliphate.

In its most dangerous form IS has been described as a “counter-state” and “state breaker,” according to the Institute for the Study of War.

“Aden Attack: ISIS-Claimed Suicide Bombing in Yemen City Kills Dozens”, NBC News, August 29, 2016:

SANAA, Yemen — A suicide car bombing claimed by ISIS in Yemen’s southern city of Aden on Monday killed at least 54 pro-government recruits, officials said.

The men were at a staging area near two schools and a mosque when a pickup truck suddenly accelerated through the building’s gate as a food delivery arrived, exploding amid the crowd, witnesses said.

“Bodies and body parts are scattered all over the place,” said Mohammed Osman, a neighbor who rushed to the scene. “It was a massacre,” he said.

The death toll steadily rose through the day. By mid-afternoon, the director of Aden’s Health Ministry, Khidra Lasour, said 54 had died from the explosion. Almost 70 people were wounded, including 30 seriously, and were being treated in area hospitals.

Yemen is embroiled in a civil war pitting the internationally recognized government and a Saudi-led coalition against the Shiite Houthi rebels, who are allied with army units loyal to a former president. The fighting has allowed al-Qaeda and an IS affiliate to expand their reach, particularly in the south.

The recruits were signing up to join a new unit the Saudis hope will ultimately be made up of 5,000 fighters. After some training, the new force will deploy to the Saudi cities of Najran and Jizan, near the border with Yemen, the officials said. The Houthis control most of northern Yemen, including the border regions and the capital, Sanaa…

    Muslims killing Muslims- an area between two schools and a mosque.

    They don’t even care about children and THEIR “HOLY” PLACES OF WORSHIP. But dare an infidel place a piece of bacon on a mosque, the world gets diarrhea of the mouth (or, at least the leaders, media and intelligentsia, not real people).

    But, looking at the bright side- Muslims killing Muslims, not jews or Christians.

    I HAVE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE —

    BUT BECAUSE ROBERT CITES QUR’AN 9:111, HERE IS A FACTUAL BACKGROUND ON THE EXTREME IMPORTANCE OF SURA 9 FOR FULLY DEVOUT WORSHIPPERS OF BLOODTHIRSTY ALLAH:

    Go to the superb resource http://www.citizenwarrior.com. Type “The Qur’an’s last word on non-Muslims” into the search box. That will bring up an item about how this chapter is the last guidance of how Infidels should be subjugated or killed if they do not submit to Islam.

    For those who are not aware of “abrogation” — earlier peaceful commands can be replaced by later violent ones — take some undistracted time please to understand that. AND NOTE THAT THE TRADITIONAL CHAPTER ORDER IS ***** NOT ***** ARRANGED BY CHRONOLOGY.

    When a few spare minutes appear, pass that link (www.citizenwarrior.com) and its trove of knowledge on to your clueless family or friends. Here are several others I highly recommend: http://www.politicalislam.com / http://www.answeringmuslims.com / http://www.barenakedislam.com / http://www.thereligionofpeace.com.

      OOOPS ! ! ! This item was written by Robert’s superb colleague, Christine Williams, who has been posting at Jihad Watch for several months.

      Consider my error as a tribute to her — because she is just as excellent a writer on Islam and its pathological manifestations as he is.

    Don’t you get it Oliver? Islam is about war, anything that can be used in the prosecution of that war is justified.Allah takes responsibility, jihadis are just following orders, Now we heard that in the last world war, we’re going to hear a lot more of it.

    Those recruits were at least there to fight for their country, their place in the world, in their own civil war, and didn’t join ISIL. The evil IS cowardly assholes couldn’t stand that, so they sent out another deluded soul to kill their unarmed defenseless peers.

    Cowardly IS bastards.

      It’s not so much that the recruits were better people, LR. It’s that the government–such as it is–of Yemen has been taken over Shi’ite Houthi insurgents.

      This is classic Sunni/Shia bloodshed.

    I wonder if the Saudis can ferret out IS agents from those.

    Are the mahommedans all over the world cry out in protest over this barbaric act? I think not because it is moslems killing moslems. Not infidels killing moslems.

    • gravenimage says

      Exactly, Marina. Muslims seldom protest much against Muslim-on-Muslim savagery–but if an Infidel draws a cartoon criticizing Islam, watch out…
