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

ISIS supporters hope to “inflame the dissension and troubles” in US over Trump victory

Nov 11, 2016 2:30 pm By Robert Spencer

The mainstream media would have you believe that the jihadis worldwide are happy that Trump won because they want you to believe that Clinton’s policy of appeasement and willful ignorance was more effective against the global jihad than Trump’s promised approach.

The reality? “They’re both tyrants and we just want to cut off their heads.”

In any case, the Leftist protesters who are raging and committing acts of violence in the U.S. because Trump won are playing into the hands of the jihadis — not that this fact would give them pause. “If we can inflame the dissension and troubles in their countries maybe they’ll withdraw” from the Islamic State caliphate.

“Extremist groups revel in Trump’s triumph,” AFP, November 11, 2016:

Extremist groups have responded to Donald Trump’s election victory with glee over his reputation as a loose cannon who has been openly hostile to Muslims.

The Islamic State (IS) militant group, which is being pummelled by a US-led military coalition in Iraq and Syria, had said ahead of the US presidential vote that there was no substantial difference between Trump and Hillary Clinton.

But as the results came in, the group’s supporters took to chat groups and accounts on the social media app Telegram to celebrate Trump’s win. “Rejoice, he will show America’s ugly face,” said one post.

“I am optimistic about Trump’s victory because he is a stupid, arrogant, hubristic bull who is dumber than (George W) Bush,” said another. “Trump’s vulgarity will embarrass (Arab) tyrants and enlarge the field of jihad,” one poster wrote on an Internet chat forum used by IS supporters.

They were apparently referring to Trump’s proposal during his campaign to ban Muslims from entering the United States, and to disparaging remarks on Saudi Arabia whose monarchy the extremists loathe. IS has not officially commented on Trump’s victory.

Both candidates, Trump and Clinton, had “committed themselves to the Jewish state and the war on Islam”, the group said in a pre-election English-language article released by its al-Hayat propaganda arm on social media.

However, Clinton was “more skilled in ‘political correctness’ giving her leverage in the sorcery of hypocrisy”. On the other hand, Trump — who has said he wants to “bomb the shit out of them” — was “impulsive and unpredictable”, the article said.

Some IS supporters found the whole idea of celebrating either candidate’s victory scandalous. “If Trump wins, it’s in our favour,” one wrote on a pro-IS chat group as the results were coming in, prompting condemnation from offended fellow extremists.

“They’re both tyrants and we just want to cut off their heads,” another useir [sic], whose account profile features a scimitar, responded. Extremists also celebrated news of anti-Trump protests in US cities.

“Praise God, may He increase this,” read one comment about a video apparently showing Trump opponents assaulting a supporter of the president-elect. Another IS supporter posted an appeal on a chat forum for fellow users to tweet “racist” pro and anti-Trump messages.

“If we can inflame the dissension and troubles in their countries maybe they’ll withdraw” from the self-styled IS caliphate in Iraq and Syria, he wrote….

    The protesters protesting against free elections the results of which don’t fit with their globo-socialist ideals are of course fecund soil for Moslem activists to plow. Ironically, they’re funded by George Soros, a capitalist and a Jew. Also lending a hand are the city leaders who uniformly decline to enforce laws against rioting. It all fits. Look for ISIS to make some headway by using these self-deluded suckers. If Keith Ellison takes over the DNC, that’ll help them even more.

    “America Without BS
    HQ of the People’s Republic of North America Government-in-Exile”

    A blog of an American leftist (Jim Kovpak), based in Moscow as ex-pat.

    Kovpak: “”Of course the harder the anti-Muslim and anti-refugee backlash, the better it is for ISIS. First the refugees. If they’re sent back en masse to Syria or bordering countries, they may join ISIS or other jihadist groups. They’ll have been disillusioned by the West and democracy, desperate with nowhere else to go “””

    roydahlin: – August 16, 2016 at 7:01 pm: What a load. They can go to Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Kuwait, Jordan, or any other relatively wealthy and orderly Muslim country. This BS idea that Europe and the U.S. are somehow obligated to bring in thousands of mostly young male Islamic militants is nothing but liberal ignorance

    Kovpak: “Good lord, this is one of the most hilarious, incoherent right-wing rants I’ve heard in recent years. It looks like something one’s elderly aunt would forward via email. … if I have time, I’ll be happy to turn this into a full-fledged post so you can learn exactly why you are a primitive-headed moron”

    (However, despite of his leftism, his blog gives true facts on Russia)

      “Kovpak: “Good lord, this is one of the most hilarious, incoherent right-wing rants I’ve heard in recent years. It looks like something one’s elderly aunt would forward via email. … ”

      And then he rants about the lack of “Benghazi” and “Obummer” he expected on a “right-wing” “rant” without ever explaining why the “Syrian” “refugees” have to go to Europe or the US instead of sticking in Syria’s neighbours or any of the rich nations that are closer to Syria geographically, culturally, linguistically, climatically and religiously than the US or Europe will ever be, let alone addressing the points about blasphemy laws, “honour” killing, etc. And he calls the other guy “primitive-headed moron” and promises to “turn it into a fully-fledged post”, where presumably he’ll explain what’s wrong with the points brought up instead of implying that they’re so obviously wrong that they’re not even worth addressing and that anyone bringing them up deserves to be mocked, ridiculed and insulted.

      That’s one of the reasons why Hillary lost. The average people are sick and tired of ideologues in their ivory towers looking down their noses on them and treating them like retarded children who need to be told how to breath lest they die of lack of oxygen. They’re sick and tired of being called “racists”, “bigots” or “primitive-headed morons” by idiots who have their heads so far up their asses that they can re-chew their food on the way down.

        What an image! I’m still trying to pry it out of my mind.

        You are right on Angemon. Here is what Henry Kissinger said: “The Trump phenomenon is in large part a reaction of Middle America to attacks on its values by intellectual and academic communities. There are other reasons, but this is a significant one.”

        Even Henry knows the “idiots” are in rarefied, stinky, self-generated air.

      Look at what this posits–that if we don’t let in millions of military-aged Muslim men, that they will all turn to Jihad.

      What if let them all in, and they become “disillusioned” with the West anyway–maybe they don’t get a good paying job, a big welfare payout, or a slew of hot Infidel girlfriends immediately?

      • Westman says

        Nov 11, 2016 at 11:46 pm

        Yes, “Military-aged men” who won’t fight for their sandbox. It appears they are a bunch of disillusioned cowards that can only function as a mob on New Years Eve.

        They are actually apostate-thinking men who are questioning the real value of Islam or they would be fighting for “real” Islam. If you give them a safe oasis they will stop questioning the false beliefs and rebuild another generation of jihadists. They need to be kept out of the US until their Islam dies in the desert where it was born. According to the Bible the Children Of Israel wandered for 40 years to get rid of its rotten eggs. Sounds like a good solution.

        When did Democracy mean going to another country and demanding an un-earned handout while spitting on the host? There is no such thing as a country without borders and, frankly, these democracy-hating folks need to stay in the “desert”. President-elect Trump has the power to stop Muslim emigration without the approval of any other part of government. Let’s hope he uses it wisely.

    The lack of any major attacks on Western soil in the weeks leading up to the election I would have thought would have favored Clinton the preferred President of the muslim world.

    The worry is now can we expect major attacks given the election is over and Christmas is coming

    Islam is an equal opportunity hater. However it’s plot to takeover America will take a major hit when Obama’s MB appointees are replaced and they lost a major ally in Huma Abedin, thank God.

    Plus hopefully the handcuffs will be removed from the FBI regarding naming and investigating pro-Sharia pressure groups. I hear there is a positive reaction to Trump’s election among FBI agents.

    After putting up my flag for Veteran’s Day, some neighbors finally started putting theirs up. I had to drive to a rural location on business, and there were flags everywhere in that community!

    We had a little program and some treats with a card attached was handed out. This is what it said:

    It is the Veteran, not the preacher,
    Who has given us freedom of religion.

    It is the Veteran, not the reporter,
    Who has given us freedom of the press.

    It is the Veteran, not the community organizer,
    Who has given us freedom to assemble.

    It is the Veteran, not the lawyer,
    Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

    It is the Veteran, not the politician,
    Who has given us the right to vote.
    ——
    To you Veterans: The road for my life was paved by your sacrifice. I just talked to a veteran, today, who was shot multiple times defending my freedom. There is no way to thank you except to get the politicians off their butts and fix the VA – and at least tell you that we are proud of you!
    —–

    Try to be patient with the demonstrating youth. A leftist, Ralph Nader, identified this phenomenon as “Extended Adolescence”. They will grow up, though the 18yr old allowance to vote seems to be premature in this unaccountable age.
    —–

    And you ISIS creeps, dissention? – we’re coming for you without the gloves. Start thinking of a good epitaph that encapsulates your miserable lives.

    We freedom lovers must support Trump. Mayor Guliani hopefully will be in Trump’s team in some capacity and he is the man who knows about Islam. I hope Robert would also get a chance to educate the new Administration on Jihad somehow.

    I was not optimistic about Trump winning and I was about to give up. I am animated again to continue to support Robert and other fighters of Islam.

    Islam should be destroyed to never resurface again. We can start the real fight now.

    “inflame the dissension and troubles”

    ….Yeah muslims accuse the “Infidel” of being hateful, racist bigots!!

    Clearly, as President-Elect Trump prepares to build a strong team of leadership, now is the time to drop to our knees and ask for God’s guidance, and wisdom……

    ”I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior…” -1 Timothy 2:1-3

      Good post, Gary. Isn’t it odd, that mean, misogynistic, homophobic, intolerant Paul is the guy who thinks life on this earth should be peaceful, quiet, godly, and holy (while also seeking peace with all, as much as it is up to us), while proto-liberal, enlightened Mo is the one who’s all about striking off heads, kidnaapping women, and divvying up loot?

      Forgive my sarcasm. I was brought up in the bosom of liberal religion, in which no effort was spared in distancing Jesus from Paul, as if the former didn’t know, after beating death and all the powers of Hell hollow, what he was doing when he knocked Saul of Tarsus to the ground on the road to Damascus.

        That “show” in Oakland was totally allowed. The Oakland police are famous for always over-reacting to the progressive protesters. Over-use of police force is like Manna for all the “pig” haters. Normally, they would have kettled the protesters, pepper-sprayed them in the eyes and taken them to Central California to book them and hold them without their rights for two days and charge them fines. Then they could go on kpfa.org out of Berkeley and tell the whole World how terrible American police are and how they must be stopped!!

    The media was worried about Trump’s sore losers getting out their muskets. Instead we have Hillary’s sore losers smashing everything in sight, even without any vote rigging allegations.

    It’s called a democracy and it’s basis is fair play.

    So isis thinks that it has willing partners and can find common ground among the increasingly domestic terrorist left.

    But of course, the left created isis so it should be no surprise that isis is reaching out to the left.

    It seems similar to the Stalin Hitler pact of steel but we all know how that worked out, those two obviously don’t.

    There is proof that the protests which have been taking place in major U.S. cities are organized by globalist George Soros and his multiple foundations and organización with which he has been causing trouble around the world including promoting chaos in Europe. It is clear that his Open Society Foundation presented the blueprint for Merkel’s disastrous immigration policy. He also gives some of his ill-gotten money to the false refugees. It is urgent to bring him down and have him eventually jailed as he is probably the greatest danger to peace and liberty in the world today. He is called the Puppet Master and the one who is behind the shadow government. There is no doubt that Hillary is a puppet of his. Putin has expelled his foundations from Russia. He is the one who orchestrated the chaos in Ukraine and many thousands have died.
    He should be hunted down and brought to justice for conspiracy, treason, and many other crimes. Jail is too good for someone of his ilk. He ought to be sent to Guantanamo and his foundations shut down for the good of humanaty.

    Of course!

    Because of the onerous nature of war, there will be a “defeatist” camp on both sides.

    It is the object of both sides to arouse this defeatist camp in the other in order to degrade his opponent’s will.

    Karl von Clausewitz.

    Ho Chi Minh did the same thing. So did the Soviets and Mao.

    The Allies did the same thing via propaganda in both world wars and so did the Central Powers and the Axis.

    Who doesn’t?

    It’s so predictable.

    The one thing that is significant, however, is that Democrats use this foreign propaganda in their own campaigns and, even worse, incorporate it into their own policy.

    They’ve been doing this since WW2 : the Bolsheviks were just Russians doing the American thing the Russian way.

    That’s why the Democrat Party has become a bunch of Latter Day Bolsheviks and why we’ve lost wars like Viet Nam or traded off our military victories for political defeat.

    The proper view of any foreign propaganda is to view it as just that and ask, “What does the foreign power want?”

    Israel does this too. They want an alliance.

    Well, of course they do. So, the question is, “What’s in such an alliance for America?”

    (like an adult, maybe?)

    And take it from there, rather than get upset about any of this foreign propaganda because it’s always been there and will always be there.

    And let’s certainly not take any of it at face value!

    Come on!

    Why did Britain cut the Trans-Atlantic Cable in 1914?

    Why did the “Democracies” of WW2 suddenly rehabilitate the hated Bolsheviks after Dunkirk?

    They needed an ally!

    The Big Trick to all this, is to see it for what is and plan accordingly so you don’t get stuck with nothing but lousy options.

    Notice, also, how IS wins no matter which candidate was elected?

    Well, of course!

    IS is undefeatable.

    And it actually is, in a sense, until it is defeated..
