The letter is entitled “Strike Their Necks and Strike Each One of Their Sons.” It says: “Let every Muslim know that the blood of those combatant Christians and their money is permissible and that taking any of them as hostages for ransom or to swap with a Muslim prisoner is also permissible.”
Strike their necks? Kill them or take hostages for ransom? Where did the Islamic State get these ideas? Could it be from this? “So when you meet those who disbelieve, strike necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either favor afterwards or ransom until the war lays down its burdens.” (Qur’an 47:4)
In what way is ISIS hijacking or misinterpreting that passage? Could some moderate Muslim spokesman in the U.S. explain it for us? Or maybe Pope Francis or H.R. McMaster or some other learned imam? No?
“ISIS Tells Muslims to Kidnap and Murder Christians in Russian-Occupied Areas,” by Cristina Maza, Newsweek, February 23, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Islamic State has urged its followers to kidnap and murder Christians in “Russian-occupied Muslim areas,” according to a letter published by an intelligence group that monitors the terrorist organization’s online communications.
Chechnya, Ingushetia and Dagestan are all Muslim-majority republics in Russia. ISIS says Russian rule there is an occupation.
The letter, titled “Strike Their Necks and Strike Each One of Their Sons,” claims that Russia has intentionally occupied Muslim-majority areas in the Caucasus and Central Asia to convert Muslims to Christianity or forcibly displace them. SITE Intelligence Group published the document Thursday.
Five women were killed when a man fired at a church in Dagestan on Monday. ISIS later claimed responsibility for the attack, although the group often claims responsibility for terror attacks even when there is no evidence.
In its letter released Thursday, ISIS cited the church attack in Dagestan as an example of what its followers should do. The killer, who the ISIS letter describes as an “extraordinary mujtahid,” used a hunting rifle to kill people attending the Russian pre-Lent festival Maslenitsa. The man reportedly donned a beard and yelled, “Allahu akbar.”
“Allah permitting, this will be the spark for more bloody attacks that will destroy a larger number of the Christian combatants in all the Russian-occupied Muslim areas,” the letter reads. “Many of them will be killed as a punishment for their disbelief in Allah the Great, and it will plant fear and horror inside the hearts of hundreds of thousands of their brothers and make them flee with fear.”…
“Let every Muslim know that the blood of those combatant Christians and their money is permissible and that taking any of them as hostages for ransom or to swap with a Muslim prisoner is also permissible. So let the good deed be for everybody,” the letter reads….

This is exactly why islamophobia exist. But the Left wants you to believe we are islamophobic because of white supremacy and other crap.
Idiots!

Not only in Russian areas..isis is telling Muslims world wide To murder, rape, enslave and all the atrocities associated with the “so called religion” of FORCE and FEAR (forced go join a afraid to leave).
We all know that isis has, from their very beginning, cowardly hid behind the civilian population and in many cases the population gave aid and I do feel sympathetic towards those trapped…but it is time for the coalition to take drastic action to completely destroy isis…Will the civilian population, in part, also be hurt?…of course they will…but war is war…….in all wars of the past…how many innocents were necessarily hurt in order to achieve the ultimate goal..WAR IS HELL…. ON EARTH.

A phobia is an irrational fear. There is nothing irrational about fearing a religious zealot promoting harm to anyone who disagrees with a myopic point of view.
Savvy Kafir says
Sounds like it’s time for European countries — and others — to eliminate their bans on owning & carrying guns for self-defense, so people have a fighting chance against these jihadi savages.
Of course, that won’t happen any time soon, due to the same shortage of common sense that has led to the mass importation of Muslims in the West.

Walter Sieruk says
The violent and vicious Muslims who are jihadists of ISIS in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.

“Let every Muslim know that the blood of those combatant Christians and their money is permissible….”
You shall not murder. (Ex. 20: 13) has not be removed for consideration.
jihadists (true muslims) have a need to know this, too. their knowledge is not complete.

Pious Muslims believe that the Bible has been “corrupted”.

Disbelief in allah? It’s a bit stronger than that, I’m afraid. Many of us DESPISE allah, and would beat him up and dump him on a garbage heap had he existed. As you can understand …. we are not afraid of you.

Islam, the religion of Lucifer, is vile filth.
Curmudgeon says
You are aware, of course, that in the early days of Islam, in order to convert Jews willingly, it took on many aspects of the Talmud, in order to make it more attractive.
dreggsofhumanity says
I believe the entire point is although they continually threaten the infidel because the quran commands them to, the leftist globalist beasts choose to ignore the danger for their own citizens and protect the beasts of allah. When will a united global revolution occur? They’ve got a plan, we don’t and they know it so they chip away at our freedoms, kill us off bit by bit until they’ve succeeded in capturing our Christian/Judea countries and all with the help of those that we trusted and voted in. Clearly we’re running out of time as the more muhammad’s that are born, the quicker we’ll become a minority, face death or pay their islamic tax. Wake up everybody.

Dreggs asked “When will a united global revolution occur?”…perhaps a little off-topic but Italy could herald some changes for the rest of Europe. For fans of Merkel it shows her doing a carefree dance at the end as she skips off into the sunset:

February 14 and 24 and some related thoughts….
I was just pondering the difference between true and false religion. Not just now, but often of course.
It can be easily compared to a good versus a bad marriage. In a bad marriage, people do things out of obligation and it is a burden to them. This is how many experience religion. Of course you have evils of islam like the unbelieving infidel muslims murdering the Christian saints, but I am referring to the better forms of false religion of course. In a good marriage, people do things out of the love motivation. They enjoy making each other happy. It truly is a beautiful thing. None of it is a burden, but on the contrary it is a pleasure. Yet we may be speaking of the exact same things and one sees it as a burden, the other a delight. The difference? Love, and who you are married to! The true religion of Christianity is nothing but a pleasure and joy for me and that includes things that most consider as unpleasant, such as suffering for our faith. I will gladly die as a martyr, even if but only for the sentimental message it sends to the Lord of my love for Him!
I saw on another news source about how yesterday/today (in Rome 2-24-18) they decided to light up the Colosseum in Rome blood red in commemoration of the early Christian martyrs, along with a site in Syria and in Iraq. It was put on by the vatican and of course is only a superficial display for public relations and all of that, plus I think something more sinister is being ushered in with this symbolism. Not to mention, the three sites are not on a straight line and thus form a triangle, if the Colosseum is the ‘top,’ it is round, thus forming the pyramid and illuminated eye above it, a highly occultic symbol, just fyi. I will be checking on it again later tonight for more news on that item.
Back to hearts and roses now…
In the Song of Solomon there are many romantic allegories and many have noted the symbolism for Jesus and His Bride, the Church; in a spiritual way, and such is our relationship with God when it is as it should be and was meant to be. Our hearts are so satisfied and overflowing with His love!
The verse below sums it up well!
“Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, The very flame of the LORD. “Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised.” Song of Solomon 8; 6-7

Linda Strawn says
Your mental and spiritual preparation for potential martyrdom is a distinct voice in the church today. Most believe they will ‘fly away’ and not be around to face the Anti-Christ/Mark of the Beast. I’ve read and studied much on subject of persecution/martyrdom and believe today’s church needs to begin an earnest study of the 7 Letters to the Churches in Revelation 2 and 3. They warn us of dangers and explain how to be overcomers and the rewards of overcoming. Two impactful books: In the Shadow of the Cross by Glenn Penner and Suffering, Martyrdom and Rewards in Heaven by Josef Ton.

The”Religion of Peace” was introduced officially by President G.W. BUSH, shortly after 9/11/2001, to the USA. We were told about this wonderful Religion that should be welcome in OUR Country & By Crackedly, Muslims appeared all over America. I will never Forgive G.W. For this Betrayal, of his Own Country, & the Slaughter that he unleased on us. “Religion of Peace”, NO WAY.
Carolyne says
I believe the Bushes have financial ties with Saudi Arabia.
StellaSaidSo says
You are right, Carolyne. The Bush family has huge financial connections with Saudi Arabia. In the aftermath of 9/11, Dubya’s Saudi chums in the US were allowed to leave, despite most flights out of the country being grounded.

I think Bush believed the Taqiyya. Of course, he was supposed to keep us safe and should not have swallowed this grotesque whitewash–he has hardly been alone in this, though.
And he was not so Islamophilic as the vile Obama.
Danforth says
Let me get this straight: Muslims believe there is only one God (Allah). They also confess that Allah and The God of The Bible are one and the same. I have been told this by an Imam in Western Canada.
If that’s the case, being that we worship the same God, then how is it that we are the unbelievers?
Using this logic, Allah and our God of The Bible cannot possibly be the same. As it turns out, Allah and his false prophet Muhammad are one and the same. Muhammad said so himself. Therefore it must be true.
gravenimage says
Muslims just claim that the God of the “real” Bible (the mythical one the Jews and Chirstians have not “corrupted”) is Allah, and that Jews and Christians are not worshipping correctly for believing in things like love and the Golden Rule.

They certainly don’t get irony.
Since their islamic god allah is NOT the Biblical God, the Godless savages of islamic state don’t see that what they do actually makes them enemies of God and thus they are followers of their master satan.
Since the islamic god allah does not himself follow God’s Commandments (and indeed happily encourages muslims to break them in his “perfect” koran) Christians cannot follow the god allah who is a god that violates God’s Commandments.
The islamic mind appears unable to understand that.
One of these laws is “Thou shalt not kill”: a concept completely lost on the muslim fanatic.In fact most of God’s Commandments appear to be beyond their capacity to actually obey.
Since their god allah missed the 2 Chief Commandments ,muslims feel entitled to hate others.. but Christians are exhorted to respond with Love.
Thus.like those magnificent Coptic Christians ,they are easy prey for the Godless muslims.
{For those Christians who are persecuted………there is a checkmate coming..at some point..
see 2 Thessalonians 1 v 5-10
Nobody gets away with anything and these murderous brutes..(they don’t know it and they won’t get it..)have already been earmarked as “chaff” in God’s Justice.
allah won’t save the muslim :because allah isn’t the True Biblical God}

Does anybody know where the leader if ISIS is? For awhile there were rumors he was killed, but later denied. What is the name of the person(s) issuing these commands/ threats?

Who knows? There have been numerous rumors that Al Baghdadi was dead. The most recent thing I can find is a Kurdish leaders, saying he was “99% sure” that he was alive and hiding in Raqqa. That was the middle of last year…

More proof that no amount of appeasement is ever enough. Putin has allowed the imposition of Shari’ah law in Chechnya, but that is not enough.
