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

Islamic State jihadis from Malaysia waging jihad against Myanmar government

Sep 18, 2017 9:12 am By Robert Spencer

The international media is only interested in one side of the story in Myanmar. But there is another side.

“Malaysian IS members carrying out ‘holy war’ against Myanmar government,” Bernama, September 18, 2017:

MELAKA: A number of Malaysians backed by the Islamic State (IS) militant group is engaging the Myanmar government in a “holy war” purportedly to defend the oppressed Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine State.

Federal police Special Branch’s Counter-Terrorism Division assistant director Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said in reality, the IS is employing the Rohingya issue as a platform to recruit new members to carry out its terrorist acts.

Ayob said IS also shared images of oppressed Rohingya people online to evoke sympathy and lure people to be part of the terror group.

“At the same time, we have intelligence information on the possibility of Indonesians involved in militant activities in their country,” Ayob told reporters after the launch of the ‘IS Threat to Youths Awareness Seminar’ here yesterday….

Ayob said Myanmar’s proximity to Malaysia was an opportunity for IS to spread their influence in Rakhine.

“Myanmar is closer to Malaysia than Syria and the southern Philippines. And now Rakhine has become their latest destination to carry out their ‘jihad’.”

Ayob revealed on Sept 10, a cendol seller from here was arrested on suspicion of promoting IS militancy through the printing and distribution of IS flags. The 38-year old man was also planning to take part in IS activities in the Philippines and Rakhine….

He said as of now there were four Malaysians in Syria believed to be actively recruiting Malaysians.

    I don’t know what the mainstream media finds so difficult about reporting the truth. When it’s the Islamic State continuing their jihad, just report that. Don’t go into a big song and dance routine about the genocide of the poor little Rohingya Muslims when it is not the truth.

      Who owns the MSM? That’s the answer to your question.

    Those who worship Satan (allah) have lost the ability to think or reason for themselves. Satan (allah) uses this in his drive to “deceive the whole World”.
    Satan (allah) and his Demons know that time is short. The true GOD (YHWH) will soon crush them under foot.
    Meanwhile we true believers must be prepared to protect ourselves and our families. THE GOVERNMENT simply won’t do it!

    It’s interesting that in the Canadian MSM it is clear that the local Ismailis are pulling out all the stops in trying stop Myanmar’s defensive maneuver. Canadian Ismaillis (I found it very painful to type those two words together) are behind all the Ottawa demos against the Myanmar army. I’m sure the Aga Khan, himself, is on the phone trying push as many buttons as possible to keep the Burmese from securing their border.
    So much for the Ismaillis being peaceful, good Mohammadins. There is only one uhma. If a Mohammadin is not engaged in violence then he/she is running interference for those that do.
    Stop the Myanmar hijra in its tracks!

    The jihad is also spreading into Thailand. Not just in the southern restive provinces but now in Mae Sot ,Tak province. The Bengalis have a taste yet again for Buddhist blood and will not stop unless stopped.

    The flames of jihad are burning red hot .

    Here’s the actual history of the “rohingya” (Bengali) muslims currently infesting Myanmar:

    MOSLEM TERRORISTS FLEE AFTER BURMESE RETALIATE

    For starters, the fake stream media should stop calling Muslim invaders in Burma “Rohingya”. Such a people don’t exist. They have no history, no coinage, no language & no king. These people are Bengali Muslims seeking to settle in Burma to dislodge the native Burmese.
