Islamic State releases poster of soccer star weeping blood in threat to Russia World Cup 2018

Oct 26, 2017 2:02 pm By Robert Spencer

“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” — Qur’an 8:60

“Isis releases poster of Lionel Messi crying blood in latest Russia World Cup 2018 threat,” by Ludovica Iaccino, International Business Times, October 25, 2017:

Social media channels affiliated with the Islamic State (Isis) terror group have released a poster of FC Barcelona player Lionel Messi crying blood ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

The image shows the player in a prison uniform and behind bars along with the text: “Just Terrorism – You are fighting a state that does not have failure in its dictionary”.

The graphic was first shared by the pro-Islamic State (IS) Wafa’ Media Foundation. Isis later shared it on Telegram and the Deep Web pro-IS forums Shumukh al-Islam and al-Minbar Jihadi Media, according to SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors terrorist activities.

As part of the campaign threatening the upcoming World Cup, the Wafa’ Media Foundation released another graphic on Telegram and the Deep Web showing a fighter overlooking the stadium. Next to him is a backpack and explosives.

The image was accompanied by the English message: “O enemies of Allah in Russia, I swear that the mujahideen’s fire will burn you. Just you wait…”

In a joint statement announcing a merger betweent pro-Isis al-Wa’d Media Foundation and Al-Wafa earlier this month, photos of US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin with bullet holes in their heads, were also released….

    “Just Terrorism – You are fighting a state that does not have failure in its dictionary”.

    These clowns were born from failure, have failed to achieve their aim of conquering the world, and will always fail to do so. Islam’s DNA is imprinted with failure; failure is hard-wired into every toxic cell of its teachings, doctrines, ideology and theology!
    The simple fact that Islam teaches violent jihad is an admission of failure in the relevance and strength of its arguments to justify its twisted claims of superiority.

      Buraq, the Islamic empire was a great ‘winner’ from Arabia to China and from Egypt into central Europe.

      However, as a political ideology, Islam creates backward-thinking, stagnant societies and dysfunctional, bribery-based, kleptocractic, ‘falied’ states. There are no exceptions.

      Islam’s governance is based on one-party rule, since mosque and state are one and only one interpretation of Islam can be ‘The Truth’. All other non-official versions of Islam will be considered heretical and in need of persecution to keep them politically under control.

      Islam has only one-party rule and hereditary president-for-life as its model of governance.

        The only reason some erroneously might use the phrase ….”a great winner” regarding the ‘success’ of Islamic expansionism is because whomever says this is looking only at the shear reality of Islamic expansionism – the surface, the outer body and not the actual guts, the engine driving that expansionism. Islam is a ‘great winner’ solely due to its engine: rape, murder, pillage plunder, piracy, extortion, polygamy, slavery and blasphemy- death to those that leave the satanic cult. That’s the engine of Islam and the apparent ‘winner’ on the surface status.

        • mortimer says

          Oct 27, 2017 at 8:59 am

          Barry, agree in principle.

          A serial killer is a ‘winner’ in a similar sense (to what you say) as long as he is not caught. Today, Islamic rule is consolidating itself in almost every Muslim country by extending Sharia dysfunctionality. Islam is ‘winning’ in the race for being the dominant political ideology. And everyone under Islam ‘loses’ by being in a dysfunction, corruption-ridden, bribery-ridden Islamic society.

          Global elites don’t care about what happens to the little people under Sharia and are delighted to think of the little people losing their freedom of expression and freedom of assembly. It fits in perfectly with the Islamic agenda.

          In Islam, money is sucked up to the top. Kafirs live at the bottom of Islam’s society and are the sewer workers and garbage pickers.

      “Humanity” is not in their dictionary either.

      Pretty much just like “intelligence” is not in liberal leftist dictionary.

      • mortimer says

        Oct 27, 2017 at 9:01 am

        Vorhees, to a Leftard, ‘intelligence’ means memorizing the party line and being able to change your views in a second if the party changes its views. Such ‘intelligence’ for the Left is what good people call ‘animal cunning’.

    Nice to see Islamic State without a state and the Caliph without a caliphate. Really capable bunch. Looks like the Allah thing is working out real well. What a group to learn from.

    • mortimer says

      Oct 26, 2017 at 6:26 pm

      While over 60% of Muslims have self-declared as supporters of a caliphate, only less than a tenth of 1% of Muslims actually helped the caliphate in any way. Al-Baghdadi was a very good choice for caliph, except for his lack of charisma.

      In other words, Muslims support a caliphate in theory only. They are hypocrites who do not want a real caliphate. They want liberal democracy which contradicts itself by imposing Sharia law. Pakistan which has official persecution of religious minorities and Egypt which practices de facto persecution of minorities are the living examples of what ‘moderate’ Islam looks like.

      The ISIS caliphate showed an example of a 100% by-the-book Sharia state. Muslims actually hate full Sharia, but hypocritically self-declare as being in favor of it. Muslims in the West have fled the corruption and restriction of one-party Islamic states while maintaining their delusion that Sharia is ‘good’ in some way that has not been demonstrated in a reality. Islam for most Muslims is a DREAM UTOPIA and they leave it at that.

      • gravenimage says

        Oct 26, 2017 at 7:55 pm

        Oh, I think many Muslims support an Islamic State. It is just that some saw Al-Baghdadi as a rival. That doesn’t mean they are actually opposed to a Caliphate.

        • Georg says

          Oct 26, 2017 at 8:02 pm

          I guess, gravenimage, my thinking is that they say and even probably think they want a caliphate, but the asshats are proving they actually do not. They are “voting with their feet” by heading dar-al-harbward. Alas, look at the 1,000 or so Brits who went to join the Islamic orthodoxy of IS… so your point definitely has merit.

          They’re really messed up. I’d think we can agree on that. Additionally, we want no part of it.

        • Georg says

          Oct 26, 2017 at 8:46 pm

          With all that said I’d agree that left to their own devices (such as when they become majority voters) they’ll inevitably veer back toward caliphate because they simply will not let go of the Islamovirus. They only enjoy the fruits of liberal capitalistic democracy so long as we infidels are keeping them from Muhammed’s will.

        • gravenimage says

          Oct 27, 2017 at 9:15 pm

          Georg, I don’t think Muslims are going to stop trying to turn our own civilized societies into Islamic sh*t holes.

        Oct 26, 2017 at 7:58 pm

        Good points. Their nominal obsession with re-creating the thing in our West they’ve fled in their homelands is one of many vomitous aspects of their presence. It’s a thing of wanting to have their cake and eat it too. They won’t let go of the emotions attached to the ethnic supremacism they’ve been raised with, but cannot live with the fruition of the logical end of that ethno-religious clarion call. Basically, there is an absolute dissonance between what they proclaim to want (Islam) and what they actually want (a capitalistic liberal democracy which in almost every case sprang from/exists within Judeo-Christian values). Those idiotic tomes by Merkel et al. that “Islam belongs to the West” or with Obama ludicrously stating that, paraphrasing, Islam has always been a part of America are the purest forms of propaganda in that they only have to be said and repeated because they are so obviously lies.

        In short: they are stupid, ethnocentric/ethnosupremacist cowards. And we and our society are paying the price.

        • gravenimage says

          Oct 26, 2017 at 8:03 pm

          Grimly, I don’t think Muslims really want freedom and democracy. They are just willing to use our values in order to conquer us.

      • shortfattexan says

        Oct 27, 2017 at 8:09 am

        I think a lot of Muslims want a caliphate, but only a small number are willing to work (or fight) to make it happen.

        That whole “Tiny Minority of Extremists” trope, while technically accurate, is still very misleading. Yes, only a tiny minority of Muslims actually commit acts of violent jihad. And an even smaller minority speaks out against the violence. The overwhelming majority, while privately approving of the violence, is content to do nothing. They would rather sit back in comfort and let others (the jihadis) carry the fight to the enemy (us).

        The vast majority of Muslims have never engaged, and will never engage, in violent jihad. But that doesn’t mean they don’t admire their more devout brethren, and secretly wish they could be more like them.

        In most cases, a “moderate Muslim” is someone who wants you beheaded, but is simply too attached to his comfortable lifestyle to do it himself.

    Islamic State releases poster of soccer star weeping blood in threat to Russia World Cup 2018
    ………………………

    Where is poster “Christianblood”, to tell us that Russia is never targeted by Jihad terrorists, since Russia has such a good relationship with Muslims?

    • mortimer says

      Oct 26, 2017 at 6:39 pm

      Russia has a Muslim population of 9.4 million. 6% of Russians self-identify as Muslim. There are currently 8,000 mosques in Russia. The Kremlin refuses to make more mosques, because that would make more jihadis.

      The lid could blow in Russia at any moment if Muslims suddenly become more religious.

      • gravenimage says

        Oct 26, 2017 at 7:58 pm

        Mortimer, I’m afraid you are mistaken about there being a ban on new Mosques in Russia. Putin himself–along with Erdogan and Abbas–presided over the opening of one of the largest Mosques in Europe in Moscow just recently:

        “One of Europe’s largest mosques opens in Moscow”

        https://www.rt.com/news/316327-moscow-mosque-largest-europe/

        • mortimer says

          Oct 27, 2017 at 9:09 am

          There are 1 million Muslims in Moscow and only 4 mosques. A large mosque in Moscow is to be expected, if there are not 1,000 small ones created. Surveillance is easier in one facility. The Russian government is window dressing.

        • gravenimage says

          Oct 27, 2017 at 9:18 pm

          Dear Mortimer–with all respect–I think it is hard to put a positive spin on allowing one of the largest Mosques in Europe to be built in Moscow.

    • alex9234 says

      And where is he to tell us that Russia is supposedly “Christian”?

      You should check out Trevor Loudon’s documentary America Under Siege: Soviet Islam, to see what Russia is really up to. And don’t worry about the amount of dislikes the video has. They’re mostly from butthurt Russian trolls and pro-Russian sympathizers.

      • gravenimage says

        Oct 27, 2017 at 9:21 pm

        Fewer than half of Russians consider themselves to be practicing Christians. This is actually lower than in Western Europe, and much lower than in the United States.

    After losing their state from where they will find their resources? Zakat: obligatory tax (“alms giving”) on all Muslims from which 1/5 goes always for jihad. And you can bet your head (figuratively speaking) that such places of “enlightenment” like Qatar or even Saudi Arabia (whose satrap king promised recently to “reform Islam”) will open gladly their rich coffers for “cause of spreading that reformed Islam.”

  5. I wonder about leftists says

    Oct 26, 2017 at 5:54 pm

    It’s almost PATHETIC, really PATHETIC, I would almost feel sorry for them, if they were not such a dark sinister bunch. All those posters. No in Russia they don’t attack. Russians would beat the living daylights out of them, and Muslims know that and don’t dare to attack Russia, only the Western countries are so coward and that is enough for them (for this moment). And this is really incredible, they claim, we the taxpayers have to pay all this money out for them, because it is a right by Sharia, because we the infidels/islamophobics have to pay that as the famous tax to them. Incredible !!! those stupid western governments !

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 26, 2017 at 8:00 pm

      Actually, there have been *numerous* Jihad terror attacks in Russia–the horrific attack on Beslan, and a serious of attacks in Moscow, targeting the opera, subway, and airport.

      I am always surprised that a lot of people are not aware of this.

      Absolutely well said. Unlike the western governments and the majority of the rest of the world, Putin (Russians) are not a bunch of gutless, spineless, fascists and cowardly soros flunkies and globalist sycophants. I can hardly wait for the day that this slimy scum that is islam pisses off Vladimir. Bizarre in a way isn’t it? To think that Russian and the Eastern bloc are the only ones left with any common sense and will probably end up saving the world from this rabid, leprous scab.

          They are also working with Muslims and leftists to subvert America.

          Trevor Loudon was right – the Cold War never ended. Russia is just as intent on destroying America as it was in Soviet times.

    Though Messi plays for a Spanish team, his nationality is Argentinian, and plays (has played) for the Argentinian national soccer team.
    Will he just brush it off as part and parcel of living in the modern world?
    Or will he condemn his image being used like this by terrorists?

  8. Debi Brand says

    Oct 27, 2017 at 3:51 am

    Most likely, just another empty threat of a beaten, destroyed, “gang.’

    As were their treats to hit our streets, concerts, homes and more–empty threats.

    Until the bodies start dropping, why even consider otherwise?

    Oct 27, 2017 at 3:56 am

    A lot of people are not aware of many things, what all is happening, is not in the newspapers, not on Television and a lot I get from JW, I am reading things on Tv on BBC which is of course made up by their editors, bot not made public in my own country. It’s incredible !

    I STILL FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT ISLAM IS THE NEW FASCISM & IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAT THE FASCISTS OF FRANCO, OR HITLER OR THE REDS OF LENIN & TROTSKY BECAUSE THEY ARE SO WELL FINANCED & ARE ALREADY IN OUR HOMES & HAVE INFILTRATED & CORRUPTED OUR DEMOCRACY;S !

    IT IS ALSO THEIR ALLIANCE WITH THE LEFT & THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN MANY PLACES THAT MAKES THEIR THREAT SO DANGEROUS !
    ALTHOUGH i SEE THIS i ACTUALLY HAVE VERY FEW IDEAS ON HOW TO FIGHT AGAINST WHAT i BELIEVE AS THE END TO BOTH FREE SPEECH & DEMOCRACY !

    Oct 28, 2017 at 3:33 am

    The threats are real, I’m sure. And not only in Russia. They’ll keep trying and they’ll have to be constantly prevented. This world war won’t stop soon. Four generations, I’m guessing.
