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

Libya: Two dead as Islamic State attacks headquarters of Libyan National Oil Corporation

Sep 10, 2018 12:53 pm By Robert Spencer

“This incident, however, serves to demonstrate the fragile security situation in our country.”

Thanks to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

“Masked gunmen attack Libyan oil corporation HQ in Tripoli,” by Patrick Wintour, Guardian, September 10, 2018:

Masked gunmen have attacked the headquarters of the Libyan National Oil Corporation in Tripoli, setting off explosions and exchanging gunfire with security guards and forces from Libya’s UN-backed government.

At least two NOC staff members were killed and 10 others injured. Two gunmen were also killed before security forces regained control of the building.

“Far more important than the considerable damage to our building is the human cost of such an attack. Our people are our most precious asset,” said the NOC chair, Mustafa Sanallah.

“This incident, however, serves to demonstrate the fragile security situation in our country and the need for additional measures to ensure NOC is able to withstand those that seek to halt Libya’s recovery,” added Sanallah, who is one of the country’s most influential non-political figures. He is credited with trying to root out corruption and increase Libyan oil production, which is likely to be the driving force behind any economic recovery.

The assault was thought to be the work of Islamic State, and not one of the feuding militias operating in Tripoli. The UN negotiated a ceasefire between militia groups three days ago after clashes left more than 60 people dead. It may have been that Isis seized on the recent lawlessness in the capital to mount Monday’s attack….

    First , it should be made clear that this brutal and savage murderous Islamic terror attack by the jihadists of ISIS ,as awful as it is ,we may all be sure, will not be the last of the tragic murdering assaults by the violent Muslim who are the Muslim ISIS jihadists of ISIS. They will continue in their sinister Islamic scheming and engaging further vicious action out in future ISIS/jihad murder attack.

    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.

      It doesn’t help when they have backing from Western and Gulf Staye countries. Our own soldiers that have been there say so as well as Iraqis. Then politicians are supporting the Muslim Brotherhood! We have camps on our soil.

      We can’t defeat enemies when our own people help them. You see that in Robert’s book how traitors helped the Muslims for their own agenda without a care for who does.

      People need to wake up.

    Thank you Walter Sieruk.

    Inquiry tends to remove the Koran from the Muslim heart, when the inquirer is smart persistent courageous and prudent. Of course the perpetrators of Islam inoculated their legacy against this inquiry business, what with all the divine revelation theology and immediate and terminal correction of apostates. The West didn’t exactly do Scholasticism, Humanism, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the Industrial Revolution all on the same day. If anyone sees the day when Islam accomplishes all that…..it will certainly be after our time, and whatever survives as “Islam” will no longer be the death cult we’ve known for a millennium and a half. Oh and…..both the Islamist above, and (Muslim) Maajid Nawaz, are correct to the effect that “you can’t kill a bad idea with bullets ” Good thing we’ve got the ideas that can do the job.

    As they say in New Hampshire, Live Free or Die.
