Egypt: Islamic State jihadis murder six police in Sinai

Oct 2, 2016 8:14 pm By Robert Spencer

Nothing to be concerned about. Obama says they’re not Islamic and on the run.

“Suspected IS gunmen kill 6 police in Egypt’s restless Sinai,” by Ashraf Sweilam, Associated Press, October 2, 2016:

EL-ARISH, Egypt (AP) — Suspected Islamic State militants in Egypt’s turbulent Sinai Peninsula ambushed a taxi in which off-duty policemen were traveling back to their units on Saturday, killing five of them before fleeing, according to security and medical officials.

They said the incident took place just south of the coastal Sinai city of el-Arish.

The policemen were returning to duty from home leave.

Earlier on Saturday, a roadside bomb planted by suspected IS militants hit a police armored personnel carrier in northern Sinai, wounding nine inside, the local police headquarters said in a statement. One of the nine later died of his wounds in hospital.

A statement by the local police headquarters said the attack took place just outside the border town of Rafah.

The attacks are the latest in a war of attrition waged by militants led by the Islamic State’s affiliate in Sinai, where security forces have battled insurgents for years. The insurgency by the militants in Sinai grew more intense after the 2013 ouster of elected Islamist president Mohammed Morsi.

Also Saturday, police say the severed head of a man who had been abducted by suspected militants for his alleged cooperation with authorities turned up in Rafah.

Separately, security officials said suspected IS militants on Saturday kidnapped four clerics belonging to the mystic Sufi sect of Islam from their homes in the village of Nagaa Shabanah on the Egyptian-Israeli border south of Rafah. The four, according to the officials, had repeatedly spoken out in public against the killing by IS militants of local civilians suspected of links to security forces….

    ISIS is conducting proper jihad according to top Islam expert Caliph Abu Bakr al Baghdadi.

    Caliph Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi has obtained BA, MA and PhD degrees in Islamic studies from the Islamic University in Baghdad, has been condemned as a person who knows nothing about Islam, and as the head of an organization that has nothing to do with Islam. The professors from the Islamic University of Baghdad, however, do not agree. They taught the caliph and believe his credentials and doctrines are sound.
    “If a person who has a PhD in Islamic studies and does nothing but study the Islamic scriptures knows nothing about Islam, then who does?” questioned al-Baghdadi’s main teacher from the Islamic University, preferring to remain anonymous since the fatwa against ISIS and its chief puts his reputation into jeopardy.
    “The wine-sipping Muslims, those hedonistic adulterers will tell the world what true Islam is? Obama and Cameron know more about Islam than the faculty of Islamic studies at the Islamic University in Baghdad?” the professor bellowed with rage, while talking to a journalist.
    Another professor who had taught al-Baghdadi in BA said off the record that the Isis caliph was an ardent student.
    “He had this obsession with Islamic studies. I used to tell him to go out and have some fun sometimes. But his idea of fun wasn’t too human friendly,” the professor said. “In any case he was a top student. One of the best I’ve ever had. Had the entire syllabus on his finger tips – to be honest, he knew more about Islamic studies than most of the professors.”
    “While you can question whether they are humans or not, there is no doubt that ISIS, including Abu Bakr (al Baghdadi), are indeed bona fide Muslims,” concluded the ISIS caliph’s PhD professor.

    ISIS is real Islam.

    The jihad continues. I have no doubt we will see more of this in Egypt.

    The islamic State has made no secret of its disdain for General al-Sisi and it clearly wants to incorporate Egypt into its caliphate.

      Isn’t it sad and revealing of how retrograde islam is when that can be considered, by islamic orthodoxy standards, a step forward?

    May God give us Trump, otherwise we are all doomed. And I am talking about everywhere: west and east.

      Don’t you think that God could have done a much better than Trump if he had wanted to? It’s abundantly clear that the circumstances call for it, yet the contest is among Trump, Clinton, & Johnson.

      It’s time to recognize the fact that we are screwed, at least for the time being. This will free our minds somewhat from the shackles of longing for a hero to save us, and it should motivate each one of us to search for the reasons for our predicaments. To this end, let each of us think long and hard. Think back as far in time as possible. Recall every mistake of commission and every mistake of omission. Likewise, uproot every delusion, and fill in the gaps of fragmented knowledge.

      Meanwhile, Roma sarà una città islamica.

    Off topic, but lets see if Assange’s threat to release more info on Hillary gets him his pardon from Obama?
