Jihad Watch

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

“We kill them because Allah told us to, and not because they attack us”

Jul 30, 2017 2:35 pm By Robert Spencer

“The whole idea that this is merely a political war, is wrong. We kill them, because Allah told us to, and not because they attack us. The only way out for them is to convert or to pay a head tax.”

That’s in complete accord with the Qur’an and Islamic law:

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them…. If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them. (Sahih Muslim 4294)

In response, of course, mainstream analysts will say, No, ISIS is twisting and hijacking Islam, and this is a political war. Some people are impervious to evidence.

“This is how ISIS pushed me to make a video claiming responsibility,” by Björn Stritzel, Bild, July 26, 2017:

How does ISIS recruit its attackers in Germany? What are the last instructions before the terrorists strike and kill as many innocent people as possible?

For months, BILD reporter Björn Stritzel pretended to be an Islamist willing to carry out an attack (always in consultation with the security authorities).

Abu K. is my guide at ISIS. He wants to assist me in the lead-up to my attack – my death. But we are not there yet. First, we deal with my video that is intended to be published online shortly after the attack. My business card of death. It is also the cynical, inhuman point of the attack, as I now realize.

Abu K. is very keen on my affirmation of ISIS. He keeps explaining to me what kind of text I am supposed to read out in the martyr’s video.

“Don’t say: ‘I’m doing this because you attack us’ or ‘If you stop, we will also stop’. More vigour is better,” Abu K. writes to me and formulates: “I am doing this, because the caliph has instructed me to attack the crusaders and their citizens.”

Abu K. unambiguously states what ISIS is about: “The whole idea that this is merely a political war, is wrong. We kill them, because Allah told us to, and not because they attack us. The only way out for them is to convert or to pay a head tax.” The guidelines provided by Abu K. correspond with the martyr’s videos by the Würzburg and Ansbach attackers (both in July, 2016). For ISIS, it is primarily the recognition value of the messages that counts. Everybody is supposed to immediately understand who has attacked here, independently of the individual attacker.”…

      If Allah is their “God” and requires death or conversion, you have to wonder who their “Satan” is and what evil requires.

    I suggest boycotting every single company that has been aiding these so-called “Syrian Refugees”(TM) since day one, and that includes those companies helping these “Syrian Refugees”(TM) escape into the western hemisphere.

    Hit them hard, if they go out of business, then so much the better.

      Zombies. Just last evening, I was thinking that these people are the true zombies. They are dead from the disease given by satan and they roam the earth spreading death.

      The old movie, “Night of the Living Dead” was one of the first and the scariest. it pictures just what happens when someone accepts islum as a belief system, or is forced, as many children are, to render to the devil what he demands.

      The infected spread death and, we are told, are not afraid of dying.. Zombies are not afraid of dying because they are already dead. So are moslums who give their lives to further islum.

    “My business card of death. It is also the cynical, inhuman point of the attack, as I now realize.”

    It is all “inhuman.” It is totally, from beginning to end…demonic. Straight from the head demon, satan the devil.

    “It’s the ideology, stupid !”

    Muslims who abandon jihad will not enter Islamic paradise.

    1% of JIHAD is VIOLENT JIHAD, and 99% of JIHAD is non-violent… speech, legislation and financial jihad. 100% of Muslims practice the JIHAD OF THE TONGUE when they conceal, hide or lie about the meaning, motive and methods of jihad.

    ALL jihad is intended to REMOVE the human rights and civil rights of women and kafirs.

    All Muslims are jihadists or they have left Islam.

    What does it take to understand that these people are on their mission as directed by their prophet?
    They are so dedicated to it that they are not phased by the advances and standards of the rest of the world but instead they totally relegate it to conquest by Islam.
    No, appeasement doesn’t change the picture, consider how stupid the UK government looks to them, consider how Sweden, Germany, France, are regarded. Sweden is in very deep distress, Germany lies to itself in reporting Muslim crimes upon native Germans as anything but terrorism and jihad. Germany will allow its people to be “picked off” rather than to admit it was gullible enough to believe Islam’s lies.
    France…how can anyone who believed France could prevail some way or another continue to believe that France can survive without mobilizing its non-Muslims to a force that will drive Islam out, and it will cost loyal French lives if there are any left willing to fight for their nation. France may not be able to commit its people to such a battle for survival, its government seems only to appear as “players”, but I think it is “appearance” while it hasn’t the heart to fight for itself.
    A good start for the EU nations is to rebel against the EU and each nation’s return to national sovereignty. They can agree to be allies, but not directed by a corrupt EU which is the crux of European sell-out.
    Islam has demonstrated in every way possible that peace with the non-Muslim universe is out of the question. The few of them who may seem negotiable are considered by the bulk of Islamic followers to be on a short list to be destroyed. We cannot allow ourselves to be misled by a false proposition that an accord will be reached with Islam other than what they will die for, complete conquest of this world by Islam.

    The CENTRAL VERSE of all parasitic Islam and of the entire Koran is K.9.29. It commands Muslims to earn a living by plundering all those who are not Muslim: ” Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

    The purpose of jizya is to impoverish kafirs and humiliate them while enriching Muslims and making them feel smug about crushing and enslaving nations around the world.

    I love these quotes about Mohamad from the American Annual Annual Register, 1827-1829, p. 269: “….he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex and the allowance of polygamy, and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind.” What’s changed in almost 200 years??

    • Jack Diamond says

      Jul 31, 2017 at 12:00 pm

      The quote, of course, is famously from John Quincy Adams writing in the context of the Russo-Turkish wars. It is as undated (immutable) as what he also wrote:

      “The precept of the koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet of God. The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force.”

    Another point to keep in mind—the hope of the “moderate muslims” reforming the violent jihadii’s. A total pipe dream. There were a lot of “moderate” Germans when Hitler seized power, a lot of moderate Russian’s when Stalin killed 20 million, a lot of moderate Chinese when Mao killed 70 million. What in the hell makes anyone think the moderate muslims are going to rise up and stop radical islam. Get your head out of your ass. If you are a muslim you have only one choice. Submit to islam and sharia or be an apostate, which will cost you your life.
    And keep in mind the doctrine of “taqiya”. How can you ever tell if a muslim is telling the truth. YOU CAN’T!!!!!
    Amazing, the muslim come right out and tell you straight up this is not a political war and they are killing infidels because the quran orders it. And all the leaders in the West keep saying it is only the radicals who hijaced the religion. I am sure the muslim nation is utterly amazed at the stupidity and gullibility of the West and how easy it is to subvert their cultures and implant the muslim ideology. Democracy is facing its final battle and the outcome is anything but clear.

    • Elizabeth L. says

      Jul 31, 2017 at 3:44 pm

      IMO the bottom line of the stupidity and gullibility of the West is caused by the widespread rejection of God, who is the source of wisdom. Being ignorant of and fooled by Islam are the consequences, which also include the mental/political takeover of cultural Marxism we are experiencing in our PC society.

    Clearly, the age of science and reason was short-lived. The authorities are baffled on a daily basis. When your interpretation of the data doesn’t work, you try one interpretation after another until it explains the data. When you repeat the same behavior, hoping the outcome will be different next time, you are not rational. You are phenomenally nuts or phenomenally stupid.

    Bless you, Robert Spencer, and jihad watch. In my studies I have been forced to acknowledge that we are in the end times.
    I would have much preferred to have other preoccupations, but unwanted realities in my own life have made that impossible.
    May it be that America will be the wilderness that the Revelation predicts.
    ..thank you, שלום, Roger

      Yes, indeed, God bless Robert Spencer and Pamela and all the others. God bless them with power to convince the gainsayers. “I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” ( 1 Tim.2:1)

  19. UNCLE VLADDI says

    Jul 31, 2017 at 10:02 pm

    The Qur’an clearly and very specifically tells muslims the Bible is wrong and also that all Christians and Jews are infidel criminals who worship a false god, and who must therefore be extorted, enslaved, and murdered for their “crime” of not being muslims:

    Sura (Chapter) 47:1-4 of the Qur’an:

    1: non-muslims are bad, (allegedly because they insult allah by dividing his nature*);
    2: muslims are good, (allegedly because to them allah is the cause of everything*);
    3: Allah made them both like that;
    4: So muslims should chop off the non-muslims’ heads.
    (“Allah could have done it himself, but he wants you muslims to do it for him”).
    …

    It’s all right there, in context: islamic violence is entirely general doctrine-driven, and not at all specific grievance-driven.

    (And chapter 47 isn’t by any stretch even remotely the worst, most violent chapter; that honor goes to either chapter 8 or 9; 9:29 demands all non-muslims be fought, extorted, and enslaved because they don’t believe in Muhammad’s ‘allah’).

    That is, the Qur’an demands muslims wage offensive war – not in self-defense – but because of others’ “disbelief!”

    So don’t go looking for what actions of yours may have offended or provoked them; they have been taught from birth that your existence alone offends their god, and so should offend them.

    Muslims have been officially taught to believe that they are the “best of people” (Qur’an 3:110) and that unbelievers are the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).

    ——-
    *[Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers! (3:151)].

    …

    So, if and when you consider islam to be a religion, you must agree with it’s main tenet: that God is a violent murderer who wants his muslim tribe to violently conquer the world by extorting, enslaving, and murdering all the non-muslim humans, right?

    At WORST, all REAL religions only say:

    “Obey our silly rules, or GOD (/’the gods’) will get you!”

    …but ONLY islam says:

    “Obey our silly rules, or WE will get you (‘for god’)!”

    A forced ‘Faith!’ ISN’T a “Faith!” at all – it’s only extortion, and extortion is always a CRIME.

    Bottom line: Muslims must be told straight out, unequivocally: “If you decide to believe in “allah,” you have declared yourself a criminal, and so must be arrested, indicted, tried and convicted. Your confession of “faith” in your crime-god will help us to do so.”
