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

Islamic State claims jihad massacre at Istanbul nightclub

Jan 2, 2017 3:36 am By Robert Spencer

“In continuation of the blessed operations that Islamic State is conducting against the protector of the cross, Turkey, a heroic soldier of the caliphate struck one of the most famous nightclubs where the Christians celebrate their apostate holiday.”

One might almost get the idea that this had something to do with religion, were it not for all the learned analysts telling us it isn’t so.

“ISIS claims it was behind New Year’s attack at Istanbul nightclub,” Reuters, January 2, 2017:

Islamic State claimed responsibility for a gun attack on an Istanbul nightclub which killed 39 people on Sunday, the group said in a statement on Monday.

“In continuation of the blessed operations that Islamic State is conducting against the protector of the cross, Turkey, a heroic soldier of the caliphate struck one of the most famous nightclubs where the Christians celebrate their apostate holiday,” the statement said.

      yup… Islam is behind, ahead, left and right …. they are in the West to “educate us”. Do not hesitate, terrorism is another tool of Islam. A Muslim community can live in a secular society … a secular community can not live in an Islamic society .From now on thousands of young Turks will not go to halls, cafes, bars, pubs … lovers will not go for the Street holding hands, sitting on a bench giving kisses .. that ended. In the most Muslim neighborhoods in the West, that is already happening … and will go to more. They will demand Islamic children’s programs, closing bars in the vicinity of mosques … creating Islamic neighborhoods, with calls to prayer and where the sect controls everything, where the few secular are leaving the neighborhood of their childhood selling their homes for little money. Islam is nothingness, it is the lack of joy, it is the inquisition .. it is pure evil, it gives shape to a society where the ignorant and fanatical take out chest proudly, where those who have not read a book in their life (only the Koran ) Are considered respectable members of society, to imitate by the rest.
      Islam is the tool of the ignorant, the immature, the mentally ill, the excuse of the assassins and fanatics who find in these teachings to support their sadistic practices. “Forgive them father because they do not know what they are doing” … those last words of Jesus that are part of the morality of the countries of Christian heritage are not part of Islam, Isa musulman did not say that … because he was not crucified Nor died for our sins. Can we forgive Islam for what it is doing? It is destroying us. Christianity has never existed to the same extent as Islam, medieval monarchies directed or controlled by the church are the closest thing. And I think we all agree that they were tyrannies, dictatorships. Muslims do not think the same about their past, they think that their tyrannies, dictatorships, Islamic theocracies were a kind of arcadia. They interpret history as a film of good and bad … Muslims are of course the victims and the good ones, the bad ones were non-Muslims … the isis is doing exactly the same thing as the Islamic conquerors of centuries ago with Their raids, battles, slaughters, subjugations, rapes … exactly the same. “Moderate” Muslims are theocratic people who aspire to Islam to be the law, that civil laws are based on the Koran.
      We mean nothing to Muslims, we are inferior, good Muslim people consider us wrong and want to educate us. There is no religious freedom in Islam, there is no freedom of thought, there is no debate. Islam only offers answers but do not admit questions or doubts. These answers are of course dogmatic … Islam is a theocratic system.

    Islam follows the tactics of “stick and carrot” … (if there is any carrot). We kill on the one hand and on the other give me everything I want so that my youth is not radical, let me control it as I want (mosques, money, education, television, aid, more Islamic immigration, than Muslims have a special status. ..) because otherwise they would go astray.

    ISLAM PROHIBITED KILLING INNOCENT :

    5: 32. Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. …
    17:33. and do not kill anyone which Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause. And whoever is killed (intentionally with hostility and oppression and not by mistake), We have given his heir the authority [(to demand Qisâs, Law of Equality in punishment or to forgive, or to take Diya (blood money)]. But let him not exceed limits in the matter of taking life (i.e he should not kill except the killer only). Verily, he is helped (by the Islamic law).
    Malik :: Book 21 : Hadith 21.3.10
    Do not kill women or children or an aged, weak person,Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees.Do not destroy an inhabited place. Do not slaughter sheep or camels except for food. Do not burn bees and do not scatter them. Do not steal from the booty,

    Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 159 ,160
    Ubaidullah b. Abu Bakr said: I heard Anas b. Malik saying: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) talked about the major sins, or he was asked about the major sins. Upon this he observed: Associating anyone with Allah, killing of a person…………(i. e. those who commit major sins and would be eternally doomed to Hell)
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 21
    Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
    The Prophet said, “The most hated persons to Allah are three: (1) A person who deviates from the right conduct, i.e., an evil doer, in the Haram (sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina); (2) a person who seeks that the traditions of the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance, should remain in Islam (3) and a person who seeks to shed somebody’s blood without any right.”
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 3
    Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
    One of the evil deeds with bad consequence from which there is no escape for the one who is involved in it is to kill someone unlawfully.

    KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE PROHIBITED ACCORDING TO ISLAMIC LAW,IF ANYONE DID IT ,HE WILL ETERNALLY DOOMED TO HELL,SO THESES TERRORIST ATTACK NOT FROM MUSLIM PEOPLE ,IT DID BY SOME NON MUSLIM PEOPLE FOR THEIR POLITICAL /ECONOMICAL EARNING,AND BLAMING AGAINST ISLAM ,THEY AND THEIR EMPLOYEE (TERRORIST) ALL OF THEM WILL TASTE THE FIRE OF HELL AFTER THEIR DEATH.

      Ibn Umar narrated that mohammed said: “I have been ordered to fight the people until they say la illaha illa allah’ For if they say that, THEN THEIR BLOOD AND PROPERTY ARE SAFE FROM ME, except with its rights and their account will be with allah. (this hadith is agreed-upon, sahih)

      In Sahih Bukhari mohammed said: “Whoever prays our prayer and faces our qiblah and eats from our slaughter, then that is a muslim WHO HAS THE PROTECTION OF ALLAH AND THE PROTECTION OF THE MESSENGER. So do not disobey Allah concerning his protection.”
      That is, those who aren’t moslem don’t have the protection.
      And islam has always been clear that the ‘kafir’ isn’t innocent and his blood is halal.

      And of course, this great JW article about the ISIS magazine “Rumiyah” (Rome): https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/09/islamic-state-invokes-quran-to-call-for-blood-of-infidel-youth-in-parks-killing-them-is-a-form-of-worship-to-allah

      “Allah did not only command the ‘fighting’ of disbelievers, as if to say He only wants us to conduct frontline operations against them. Rather, He has also ordered that they be slain wherever they may be – on or off the battlefield.”
      “…All of this becomes all the more apparent for those who have realized that the blood of a kafir is cheap, filthy, and permissible to shed.”
      “None of this should be surprising to any Muslim who has studied his religion, as this matter of a kafir’s blood being halal to shed is something upon which scholars have recorded consensus.”
      “Muslims currently living in Dar al-Kufr [land of the disbelievers] must be reminded that the blood of the disbelievers is halal, and killing them is a form of worship to Allah, the Lord, King, and God of mankind,” readers are told. “This includes the businessman riding to work in a taxicab, the young adults (post-pubescent ‘children’) engaged in sports activities in the park, and the old man waiting in line to buy a sandwich.”
      “Indeed, even the blood of the kafir street vendor selling flowers to those passing by is halal to shed – and striking terror into the hearts of all disbelievers is a Muslim’s duty. There is no shar’i requirement to target soldiers and policemen nor judges and politicians, but all kuffar who are not under the covenant of dhimmah are fair game. How can the disbelievers ever dream of safety and security while Muslims suffer anywhere in the world and while the rule of Allah is mockingly replaced by manmade monstrosities of democracy?”

        Guilty = one who transgresses Islamic laws. The thousands of people murdered for protesting the abuse of yizia were not innocent. They protested because they could not subsist, they did not even deny to pay the yizia, simply that they lowered it. They knew that if they did not pay they would kill them, they knew that if they fled to the Christian kingdoms they would be declared traitors and if they were captured again they would be killed. Without mercy … 5000 in a single day in Toledo. According to Islam today .. they are still guilty.
        According to Islam, the Muslims who killed these people are innocent and the Christians killed … they are still guilty.
        According to the Koran it would have been a sin to kill these assassins and it was perfectly legal to assassinate those who prosecuted for the yizia.

      • Norger says

        Jan 3, 2017 at 12:18 am

        Exactly. As has been observed, the good news is that Islam forbids the killing of “innocents.” The bad news is that we don’t qualify.

          Yes, we must be guilty of something otherwise Allah wouldn’t have condemned us to an eternity of torture. He wouldn’t have done it for nothing since we know he is a just and compassionate god.

Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. …”

      Lets read that very slowly – 5.32 …. for the Chlidren of Israel …
      Are you focused ? You can go and check the history book, who were the Chlidren of Israel – they were Jews.
      It is so obvious that 5.32 was for the people of Israel, who were Jews. There were no frigging Muzzies in Israel then.

      What does Mo say about non-Muslims… go and kill them where ever you find them. Do you which sub-para is that ? Of course you know it, Sham-on-you-deceiver.

      Again denying reality. The message of Christ is about peace, brotherhood, empathy and forgiveness. Was it not the fault of the church and of “Christian” civilization that the massacres that were made in Europe in the name of God? The same in America .. or even in the Crusades .. all in the name of God, with the permission of the church. Of course it is part of the past of the church, of Christianity and of our history. All of them contradicted Jesus’ message and carried his symbol. No murderer, tyrant of the past respected the mensjae of Jesus … and they were indidably Christian.
      The Muslims did the same with their conquests, raids, robberies, assassinations, slavery, rapes, submission of infidels ….. they denied the message of mahoma and the Koran? …
       Are you willing to call anti-Islamic all the kalifas, sultans and Islamic heroes of the past even to Mohammed with his conquests? Nothing will change if the Muslims do not change the model of your societies .. which are theocracies.
      Muhammad was as much a tyrant as any “Christian” feudal despot. Above he invented a new religion to justify his outrages. To deny that terrorists are Muslims is to deny that there has been Islam in the past … because Islam in the past used terrorism … and Christianity as well.
      Islam continues today as it did in the time of Muhammad .. in the plan of conquest. Christianity has been transformed over the centuries into a religion, Islam remains the same, being a way of life, the law. Open your eyes, there is another way to live and learn history. If there is a god there can not be one who is constantly watching if you eat pork, if you drink a glass of wine if you pray 4 or 5 times a day .. that on Sunday you go to Mass … You can be a good person without dogams Religious, without imposing anything on anyone, without forbidding what he considers a religion sin. Islam is theocracy..islam is dictatorship.

      Were the Mozarabs of Toledo (Christians) guilty when Muslims killed five thousand in one day? They protested the abuse of the yizia .. and they killed them all .. that was anti islamic? NO, according to Islam they were guilty, they were not innocent because they broke the covenant of submission.
      Were the Jews of Granada innocent when the Muslims killed them all? 4000 in a single day.
      Were the inhabitants of Cordoba guilty or innocent when the Muslim troops entered and expelled many of them to the north of Africa and enslaved them?
      All these things happened in the “wonderful alandalus”, example of “coexistence”. The Christian kingdoms of the north did similar barbarities as they reconquered the lands of the south of the peninsula.
      Example like those there are thousands, were Janenzaros innocents when their parents had been assassinated and they enslaved and taken to the caliphate?
      Are all of these examples part of Islam or not?

      Sahih Bukhari
      Volumn 004, Book 052, Hadith Number 256.

      Narated By As-Sab bin Jaththama : The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, “They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans).”

      And of course, from thereligionofpeace.com:
      The Myth: Muhammad Never Killed a Woman
      “Our Prophet (peace be upon him) always forbade the mistreatment of women.”

      The Truth:
      Muhammad ordered the murder of several women in his time. After he captured Mecca in 630, for example, he demanded that two female slaves be put to death along with their master, merely because they had mocked Muhammad in song (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 819, Abu Dawud 2684).

      The brutal death of Umm Qirfa also refutes this myth. So do the women who were killed in battle (Bukhari 52:257), when Muhammad’s men attacked a town or tribe – although his preference was that women be captured for sexual servitude rather than killed.

      One account not only speaks of the killing of a defenseless woman, but also refutes the broader misconception that Islam is against attacking others for reasons other than self-defense:
      We went with the apostle on the raid of Dhatu’l-Riqa of Nakhl and a man killed the wife of one of the polytheists. When the apostle was on his way back, her husband, who had been away, returned and heard the news of her death. He swore that he would not rest until he had taken vengeance. (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 665)
      Muhammad ordered a Jewish woman put to death for literally losing her mind while the male members of her family were being beheaded (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 691). There were also several women that the prophet of Islam ordered killed for adultery. One example:
      He went to her in the morning and she made a confession. And Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) made pronouncement about her and she was stoned to death. (Sahih Muslim 4209)
      There are other examples as well, but perhaps the story from Muhammad’s biography that best lays to rest the silly idea that he never approved of harming women is the assassination of Asma bint Marwan, a poet and mother of five. For the crime of “displaying disaffection” at the Muslim murder of an elderly man (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 995), the “apostle” ordered her executed in the dead of night.

      The brutal murder of this woman by an assassin – who had to remove a suckling infant before plunging the knife into her breast – is recounted here, as is Muhammad’s glee on hearing that his order had been successfully carried out.

      Muslims who don’t deny the story outright (as some are prone to do) usually claim that Asma posed a threat to Muhammad, since she urged the Medinan community to put and end to the Muslim reign of terror before it was too late. Such fervent believers never appear to question why a man claiming to be Allah’s mouthpiece would find it necessary to respond to a woman’s dissention with violence rather than logical argument, particularly if he had done nothing wrong to begin with.

      It is also interesting to note that even when Muhammad forbade the killing of non-combatants in war, he took no action against the most brutal abusers from among his ranks. In addition to the account of Umm Qirfa (noted above) there is the fate of an unknown woman “whom Khalid bin Walid had killed” in front of the other Muslims (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 856). Although not approving of the woman’s murder, Muhammad took no punitive measures against Khalid, who was left in charge and went on to lead the military conquest of Christian and Persian lands. (This was not even the first time that Khalid bin Walid had slaughtered innocent people, including women – see Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 834-838 for a more graphic event).

      Finally, it is worth mentioning that sparing the lives of captured women (and children) had less to do with compassion and more to do with the fact that they were considered property.

      • eur says

        Jan 2, 2017 at 6:46 am

        Any critique or interpretation other than Islam is interpreted (from Muhammad’s time) as an attack, “inciting people to rise up to fight and kill the Muslim population” or simply anti-Islamic … so anyone who criticizes any aspect of Or life of Mohammed is an enemy of Islam and Muslims will be acting in self-defense.
        Guilty = who does not comply with Islamic laws
        Legitimate defense = kill whoever criticizes any aspect of the koran or sunnah.
        Fascism? Theocratic authoritarianism? No … just Islam. And Islam is peace. We can check it daily.

    • bernie says

      Jan 2, 2017 at 6:36 am

      The clause or phrase “Except for murder or mischief in the land” is a major loophole which jihadist terrorists use.

      The mere fact that there are people in the world who don’t wish to subscribe to Islam or Shariah Law, or in the case of moderate or secular Muslims, extreme Wahabism or Shiism, is enough to constitute “mischief in the land” according to groups such as Daesh, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, al-Shabab, Jemaah Islamiah, Hezbollah, etc.

      Also, since civilians in non-Muslim countries are part of countries which may oppose said extremist groups, and their nations may even take military action against such Islamist groups out of sheer necessity and self-defense, those Islamist groups will then play the victim, and say that they are being “murdered.” For example, when the Italian police killed the Berlin truck terrorist-murderer in self-defense.

Your definition of innocent is not the same as ours. The kafir is NOT innocent in your Koran and hadiths. The kafir is an enemy of God, and it is your duty, is it not, to kill the enemies of God. In fact, the killer receives the highest place of honor in heaven for killing an enemy of God (kafir). Yes, I have read your evil book. You are a deceiver, shabeer, a liar.

    I’m reading that the club had “security” which was unarmed. My take on that: We have the same thing here in the US, in fact, most guards are unarmed, which is to say they can’t guard you so you’re unguarded. Often, if a company contracts for armed guards, the security company warns the armed guards not to remove their weapons from their holsters under any circumstances because the weapons are just decorations, designed to give the client a “feeeeeling” of “saaaafety”. This ruse is played out all over the US and is meant to get more money from the unsuspecting client as they pay the extra $5-$10/hr wage for the armed guard(s)… who essentially are unarmed. In my professional status I am aware of a large security company which is contracted for armed security protection by a top-25 US company. The guards are all armed and trained IAW state standards and they stroll around campus all dolled-up as though they’re ready to rumble. However, in an Active Shooter Response, they are trained to arrive at the scene and wait at the outer doors for arrival of local police who, according to their “best-practices” training, will arrive “immediately”. Immediately, as in right-fucking-now. The guards will not go into the building to find, fix, and engage any shooter(s) but will politely escort any survivors to the nearest triage spot. This tragedy-waiting-to-happen was set up and agreed upon contractually by both the security company and its client, so nobody has an alibi. Both parties, the protectors and the protected, know full well that the “guards” will not protect appropriately though they deliberately act as though they will in order to keep the employees under that comfy cozy blanket of “feeling safe”.

    Good luck.
