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

Ex-Islamic State jihadi says the group will retool and return with an “obsession” for US

May 4, 2018 9:43 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Islamic State (ISIS) has already successfully infiltrated the West through the reckless migration policies of Western nations. Now that it has been largely dismantled in Syria and Iraq, the group is, according to one former member, retooling with an “obsession” with the United States.

Belgium native Hamza Nmeie warns:

The ideology driving ISIS was “not going to stop,” and had permeated some circles so deeply that it would be next to impossible to defeat. He also said each new incarnation of the group brought a school of thought even more rigid than that of its predecessor.

Now that the group has been decimated by coalition forces, it seeks revenge on the infidel:

A central tenet of ISIS’s brainwashing of new followers is its singular focus on the United States, Hamza said, in what he described as an “obsession” with America.

Jihadists (including the stealthy Muslim Brotherhood) have long been at war with the West, and have announced this openly, but few Western analysts take them seriously.

“From jail, remorseful ex-ISIS fighter warns: Group will retool and return,” by Hollie McKay, Fox News, May 3, 2018:

QAMISHLI, Syria – Belgium native Hamza Nmeie, 27, claims to be one of few foreign fighters to have seen the barbaric and bloody rise of the Islamic State in Syria, long before the group was known to the world.

He arrived in the region fresh-faced in June, 2013 and signed up for what was then the Syrian al-Qaeda affiliate, known as al-Nusra. He then became among the first to pledge his way into the Islamic State (ISIS), he said, and witnessed the group’s rise and decline as the “caliphate” crumbled under a U.S.-led coalition effort in Iraq and Syria.

He surrendered to the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Raqqa last September. Now, in an exclusive interview with Fox News from the SDF’s antiterror unit’s prison, Hamza is warning of more plots and splinter groups to crawl out from under the carcass of ISIS.

“Another group will come,” Hamza cautioned, saying fighters disgruntled with ISIS commanders were already in the process of planning breakaway terror groups before the fall of Raqqa, the so-called caliphate capital.

Hamza repeatedly emphasized in the interview that the ideology driving ISIS was “not going to stop,” and had permeated some circles so deeply that it would be next to impossible to defeat. He also said each new incarnation of the group brought a school of thought even more rigid than that of its predecessor.

A central tenet of ISIS’s brainwashing of new followers is its singular focus on the United States, Hamza said, in what he described as an “obsession” with America.

“It was the big enemy,” he said.

Hamza particularly remembers the ISIS celebrations after the 2014 beheading of American journalist James Foley, and how leaders used the gruesome event as “motivation.”

“It was to say, ‘Look how we are fighting the Americans,’” Hamza said, saying ISIS initially gained momentum after the formation of a coalition of 60-plus allied designed to defeat it. The coalition’s creation was spun by the ISIS propaganda machine to show how “strong” the mlitant group was against such a massive force…..

    Knowing the intentions of ISIS, US law enforcement should have an equal ‘obsession’ to put all the returned jihadis into electronic GPS ANKLE BRACELETS that cannot be removed for life.

    If the jihadis don’t like it, they can remain outside the US for life.

      Actually there is a cheaper and more effective tracking system already available, for all such combatants andtraitors. It’s called a 45caliber bullet to the brain. If place properly in the brain, there is no need to track the traitors, and it is a lesson to those who attack ‘all others’ wantonly that they are murderers and are to be treated as such.
      And if they don’t like it, they can remain outside of the US for life.

        @mgoldberg[: I agree with your advice .It is safer to put the 45 calibre bullet through the head of a RABID DOG than to put a tracking collar round its neck. SAFETY FIRST!!!

          It might be more efficient to exterminate any community that dares to harbor them.

        • gravenimage says

          May 5, 2018 at 2:25 pm

          We don’t exterminate whole communities. This is the sort of thing Muslims do.

        Disagree, 9-mm tracking device is cheaper and widely available. And we in Texas are well trained in implementing it.

          The ideology of isis is the same as that of Muhammad. That same ideology is taught in your nearest madrasa, mosque, Koranic or Islamic school … and if there are still no madrasas in Texas … in any hairdressing salon, a grocery store run by Muslims because in the back room they come together to pray and conspire against democracy. The 9 mm are not effective … the only solution is to isolate Muslims in their countries of origin … and above all education. Muslims should not have come to the West without first renouncing their ideology of conquest.

      They would simply need to retreat to the great *safe space* of California for sanctuary……

      The U.S. will probably come back at ISIS with a triple effort should they insist on continuing their rampage which will isolate Islam as a mad dog religion even more than it already has .

    …………………………..

    Of course these Jihadists hate us. What are we doing to protect the US from them?

    Damn little, if the leftist courts get their way.

    I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I HAVE BEEN PUSHED TO SAY THIS: NOTHING LESS THAN A COMPLETE NUKING OF MANY PARTS OF ARABIA AND PAKISTAN AND OTHER JEHAADI HOTBEDS IS GOING TO SAVE THIS PLANET FROM THESE MONSTERS.

      The problem is letting Muslims into civilized Infidel lands. Islam just needs to be isolated.

    First, that the jihadists who compose ISIS have a strong and malice-filled “obsession” with the United States and when it comes to their Islamic scheming against America and Americans for future Islamic terror attack and they with their Quran based ideology “are not going to stop” shows the malicious demon-like zeal they have. So we need to ,not live in fear ,but still report to the police anything the seems not to look quite right. As in “What’s wrong with this picture?’ As it has been said “If you see something, say something.” The wise words of Thomas Jefferson may apply to this subject. For Mr. Jefferson declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”
    Second, concerning ISIS there remains the ,very important, question “How to truly defeat ISIS once and for all ?” The answer to that question was provided in a speech by the ISIS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al Adnani, now dead, in this speech he had declared “True defeat is a loss of willpower and desire to fight…” he further explained “We would be defeated and you victorious only if you are able to remove the Quran from Muslim hearts.” All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists, as those of ISIS use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 2:191.. 4:47 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4 The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

    A cult using ritualistic torture and killing, a supremacist death cult…that’s what Islam is. The most twisted mentally sick trash on this planet all seem drawn to it.

      Unfortunately most are born into it. That is not their fault, but the ideology is, at least for those who believe in it and support the supremacism, misogyny, forcible suppression of free speech, hatred of non-believers etc.

        I agree with you. I believe that if some of us were born into islam, we would be just as fanatical and hateful.

    It is a good thing. As long as Trump is there their retooling is going to end in their destruction. The more they do the more they will get back.

    These creatures of Satan have been gaining ground for about fourteen hundred years and I do not understand that the Governments of the world including the United States are not getting it! History repeats itself and these Terrorists are going to strike here because half of the Americans think the Muslims are our friends. With friends like this, who needs enemies..!!!
