Then when they happen, we will be told that they have nothing to do with terrorism and that authorities are trying to determine the motive.
“ISIS Calls for Random Knife Attacks in Alleys, Forests, Beaches, ‘Quiet Neighborhoods,'” by Bridget Johnson, PJ Media, October 4, 2016
A new magazine issued by the Islamic State advises lone jihadists to get over any squeamishness about using knives and embrace sharp objects as “widely available” weapons of jihad in nighttime stabbing campaigns.
ISIS’ Al-Hayat Media Center issued the second issue of its magazine Rumiyah, meaning Rome, in English, Turkish, German, French, Indonesian, Russian, Arabic and Uyghur. The design of the magazine is more simple than ISIS’ English-language Dabiq. It’s also much shorter: 38 pages compared to the 82 pages in the last issue of Dabiq.
In the first issue of Rumiyah, which debuted a month ago, jihadists were advised to target teens playing sports after school or even flower sellers hawking blooms on the street.
In the new PDF issue distributed widely via social media and Google Drive, an article on terror tactics assures would-be jihadists that “one need not be a military expert or a martial arts master, or even own a gun or rifle in order to carry out a massacre or to kill and injure several disbelievers and terrorize an entire nation.”
A footnote in the article states that ISIS won’t be using the term “lone wolf,” but “just terror operations” — “just” as an adjective for “justice.” Al-Qaeda calls lone operations “open-source jihad.”
Hinting that the article is one in a forthcoming series about terror tactics, ISIS focused on the benefits of knives to help potential terrorists with the “ocean of thoughts” that “might pour into one’s mind” when considering an attack.
“Many people are often squeamish of the thought of plunging a sharp object into another person’s flesh. It is a discomfort caused by the untamed, inherent dislike for pain and death, especially after ‘modernization’ distanced males from partaking in the slaughtering of livestock for food and the striking of the enemy in war,” the unbylined article states. “However, any such squirms and discomforts are never an excuse for abandoning jihad.”
ISIS suggested a “campaign of knife attacks” in which the attacker “could dispose of his weapon after each use, finding no difficulty in acquiring another one.”
“It is explicitly advised not to use kitchen knives, as their basic structure is not designed to handle the kind of vigorous application used for assassinations and slaughter,” the article states, further advising “to avoid troublesome knives, those that can cause harm to the user because of poor manufacturing.”
Knife-wielding terrorists are advised to target smaller crowds or someone walking home from a night out or working the night shift, “or someone walking alone in a public park or rural forested area, or someone by himself in an alley close to a night club or another place of debauchery, or even someone out for a walk in a quiet neighborhood. One should consider canals, riversides, and beaches.” They further advise jihadists to carry an object like a baseball bat to inflict blunt-force trauma on victims before stabbing.
In gory detail, jihadists are encouraged to go for major organs, arteries or the neck, but not the skull as their knife blade may break. “It is advised to not necessarily attempt to fully detach the head, as the absence of technique can cause a person to spend a long time attempting to do so, that is, unless the individual’s circumstances and capabilities allow for such.”
“Lest the operation be mistaken for one of the many random acts of violence that plague the West, it is essential to leave some kind of evidence or insignia identifying the motive and allegiance to the Khalifah, even if it is something as simple as a note pinned or attached to the victim’s body,” the terror guide adds.
Jihadists are told to plan their attacks in such a way that they “attain a reasonable kill count,” and to bear in mind “the more gruesome the attack, the closer one comes to achieving the desired objective” of inflicting terror.
The magazine issue recognizes Dahir Adan for stabbing 10 people at a Minnesota mall last month “in response to the calls to target the citizens of the nations involved in the Crusader coalition.” ISIS mentioned nothing of Ahmad Rahami’s pressure-cooker bombs in New York and New Jersey that same weekend….

Be watchful people, without turning cynical.
These haters want people to engage in low intensity attacks that pass off as random crime — very devious and wicked.
Protect your loved ones, especially children, from this menace that is coming. I hope Robert Spencer takes care of his physical safety too. Bad times.
Angemon says
“These haters want people to engage in low intensity attacks that pass off as random crime ”
Huh, no, they don’t. That would defeat the whole purpose. According to the article (my emphasis):
What they want is to do so without getting caught so they can kill again – stabbing one person in a quiet street at late hours of the night instead of, for example, trying to mass stab people in a crowded mall, where they can be neutralized before doing much harm.
gravenimage says
Exactly–they *want* people to know that this is Jihad. Besides murder, their whole goal is to terrorize the “filthy Infidels”.
Shane says
Mo was the first muslim terrorist and there millions of young muslims in the West who want to be just like him. They are not extremists, they are good muslims.
ainu888 says
Thanks Angemon and gravenimage for correcting me.

What really takes the biscuit and something you should think well on is that they believe they do the will of ALLAH to deliver our country to the holy state of sharia which the government appears to have accepted.

Exactly, Mirren–just what I was going to quote. This isn’t about modernity: even in dark ages Arabia–a violent and brutal place–at least some realized that there was something very wrong with unending Jihad against people who had done you no harm and represented no threat.
Islam has actually *sacralized* this barbarism. *Ugh*.
Walter Sieruk says
This above article is a powerful reminder of two facts of reality about the brutal and deadly jihad terror organization ISIS . First,the cruel ,vicious and murderous jihadists thugs who composes the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS are actually putting in to the practice ,with all their ruthless actions, the violence and killing that is part of the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam ,the Koran. Which contain the doctrine of extreme violent force for the advancement of Islam. As seen in the Koran, for example,2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. So in spite of the strong denials by many, ISIS is an actual Islamic organization. Likewise the malicious, bloodthirsty violence jihadists who make up ISIS are real Muslims. Nevertheless, there are some who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malice-filled ,unfeeling and deadly ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.
Second, one of the explanation as to how such totally unconscionable, ruthless, vicious actions and murderous are committed by the Muslim terrorists who compose the brutal and malicious jihad entity ISIS is answer in the following . The jihadists of ISIS are engaging in the Islamic doctrine of “Muruna” which is the dogma of Islam that teaches committing evil for the greater good is a noble part of the jihad for Islam. This is, in essence, the same type of “philosophy” that the communists had gone by in the twentieth century. That it’s a “good thing “ to commit many evils to obtain a “worker’s paradise.” Likewise, during World War II even the Nazis had this line of thinking.” To express, as in to illustrate this idea, even more, is by using a twenty-first century movie. Near the end of this movie, just before the final defeat of the super-arch –villain General Zod , that super villain said “No matter how brutal and deadly I was I did it for the greater good.” That is the common mindset of many villains including those of ISIS.
Jerry says
These calls to violence are a terrorist threat that even the left will admit. But when it comes to admitting the same of islamic doctrine they’re suddenly mum. Muslims’ most valued doctrines are built on a foundation of hate and murder for non-muslims, it’s an ideology of supremacy more deadly than Nazism as history shows all too well. But you’ll never hear obama or hillary address in any intellectual detail our argument that islam teaches and causes the violence muslims commit in its name. It’s always that we’re bigots that need to be more tolerant and multicultural toward those who want to destroy our freedoms and kill us.
As this report by Spencer shows, ISIS leaders are making an international appeal to muslims to join in their jihad and the result has been thousands responding to the call. They travel overseas, kill us at home, and conduct all manner of threats and subversion to achieve by less violent means the same goals as the terrorists. In their attempt to appease the muslim majority the left has ignored every evil tactic muslims use against us, instead they focus on the terrorists and decree them to be the sole nature of the problem. But we know that’s not true. The terrorists are the ones who kill us for sure, but it’s the average muslims’ participation and support for the islamic “faith” that bolsters their cause and aids their efforts. Further, it must be remembered that virtually all terrorists were at one time “moderate” until they no longer were. In other words, moderate muslims are the reason we have terrorism, why we have dangerous enclaves, why our kids and women are getting raped, and why there’s so much suffering under islam and sharia around the world. They are the ocean of discord that creates the poisonous clouds that hurt us all. It’s not that I want to hurt muslims. It’s that I want to protect my family and nation against their immoral schemes and desires for allah. I will never feel guilty for that.
No more muslims in our country. No more mosques spreading ignorant ideas of hate and murder. No more islam. Not until we know they’ve changed sufficiently for the better.
John Marst says
An argument you will never hear, because it will never be necessary:
“Well, there are always a few bad apples, but they don’t represent the whole religion. And suicide vests and sex slavery, that’s just a perversion of a beautiful and peaceful religion.
“The future must not belong to those who slander the founder of Buddhism.”

So true–no other faith has to continually claim it is the “religion of peace”.

Brace for mentall illness, non-Muslims.
dumbledoresarmy says
Got Muslims? Got jihad.
If there were no Muslim colonies inside majority-non-Muslim western – and non-western – countries, this deliberate incitement to ritual murder – to human sacrifice – would find no receptive ears on which to fall.
That is the long and the short of it.
The only reason that we have to worry about this incitement-to-murder is because there are Muslim fifth columnists in quite large numbers living in Australia, USA, Canada, UK, continental Europe, Israel, India…
If they weren’t there at all, no problem; all we’d have to do would be to focus on defending our borders against incursions made by Muslim countries next door.
dumbledoresarmy says
And identifiable Muslims – especially Muslimahs proudly and sneeringly wearing their Gang Colours – will whine and squawk and squeal and complain they’re being ‘persecuted’ because the more Islamoinformed among the filthy kuffar will be walking wide of them and giving them beady looks in the street and on public transport. When all it is, is people recognising a Threat and taking reasonable precautions.
The only Muslim you don’t need to worry about is the pre-verbal infant that can’t yet walk or hold a knife.
Muslim girls and women have carried out stabbing attacks – there have been many such in Israel, but not only in Israel, a UK MP was stabbed a few years ago by a young Muslim female who was smiling and holding his hand **as she shoved the knife into his stomach with her other hand**. Muslim *teenagers* – and I’m talking young teens, aged 11, 12, 13 – have carried out Stabbing Jihad attacks in Israel. Two very young Muslim teenagers in Jerusalem very nearly managed to kill a young Jewish boy about their own age.
What happens when some Muslim kid in Yr 6, 7, 8 , attending an infidel school in Canada, Australia, France, whevrever, takes a concealed knife to school and … sneaks up on one of their infidel schoolmates (most likely picking someone a lot younger and smaller than himself or herself) in the school toilets, or behind the bicycle shed, or even *in class*, and **stabs them to death in a frenzied attack whilst yowling allahu-akbar**???
Ashley says
This is indeed a chilling article.
“Lest the operation be mistaken for one of the many random acts of violence that plague the West, it is essential to leave some kind of evidence or insignia identifying the motive and allegiance to the Khalifah, even if it is something as simple as a note pinned or attached to the victim’s body,” the terror guide adds.
Just a thought that popped into my head…
This could be hell for law enforcement. Murderers need only attach such a note on their victims to throw off the scent of a drug deal gone bad, a robbery, revenge, gang wars, etc. Serial killers could have a field day…simply attach the note.
I expect to hear of a spike in “random knife attacks.” ISIS will be pleased, but I can easily visualize how this tactic could be exploited.
gravenimage says
I think we have more to fear from homicidal Jihadists themselves, Ashley, than Infidels trying to pin murders on Muslims.

Anyone who recognizes the danger islam poses to humans, should be prepared to increase the “squirms and discomforts” of those infested by the demons of islam.
Wellington says
What ISIS has called for here is Islam at its “best.”
If one misses this (and far too many still do), one misses a lot. Loads of people are missing a lot nowadays about Islam, both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Untold numbers actually.
And Islam profits by such ignorance. Fitting, since Islam has profited by ignorance from its outset. Indeed, it’s quite arguable that Islam’s greatest single ally over the centuries has been ignorance.
Ignorance and Islam. Perfect together.

Anne Smith says
An RAF man was attacked by “men of middle east appearance” while running in a quiet part of Suffolk. Fortunately he managed to fight them off, but there are reports that another serviceman has disappeared in Suffolk.
When are the authorities going to wake up?
It is time Mosques were searched and all preaching monitored. A moratorium on any new mosques. If they need a new mosque they can move to Saudi Arabia. There are plenty there.
al says
Searching a Mosque is not the answer, nor is any other form of appeasement. The answer is to remove all of those who are not American from our nation and control our borders… Remove all reminders of those who were here and never ever let another one into our Nation…Japan has the right idea….

That bit about “a place of debauchery” is gratuitous, as the other victims mentioned include people returning from work and taking quiet walks in scenic places. They hate us because *we are Infidels*, and for no other reason.

“Places of debauchery.”
So, it’s wrong just to have a couple of beers or a cocktail at a bar, say, but it’s perfectly all right to have anal intercourse with young boys, or to take non-Muslim/non-Daesh women and girls as sex slaves. Al Baghdadi himself has said so, has he not?

Praeceptor Maximus says
Two thousand years ago, the son of a carpenter walked the shores of Galilee to deliver the message of love. Six hundred years later, a barbarian from the Arabian Peninsula rose to deliver the message of hate. The former preached the Gospel; the latter preached the Quran. The former brought salvation; the latter brought sword. The former had missionaries; the later had mercenaries. And those mercenaries are still engaged in murder.
Bob says
Amen, Praeceptor, 100%!

And disgustingly, the mercenaries…aka murdering rapists…claim they worship the same God that the young Carpenter preached, and have the gall to condemn Christians and others as unclean liars and hypocrites, while they rape and murder those being maligned.

Carolyne says
Every time there is a terrorist attack in the US, the authorities at first say it has nothing to do with Islam and the name of the attacker is not released. Then they release the name of the perpetrator and it is usually “Mohamed” or a variation thereof. But it has nothing to do with “International” terrorism. Then a few days later, it is revealed that this Mohamed or variation thereof has recently started going to a mosque, but it has nothing to do with terrorism. Lastly, they are trying to determine the reason for the attack and it might have something to do with terrorism.
