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

Islamic State: “Flames of war” will “come to America” following withdrawal from Syria

Dec 31, 2018 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Note that numerous jihadists have cited our presence in Syria as their reason for embarking upon jihad. Now they’re affirming that the jihad will continue even after we have gone from Syria, as anyone would have known who has read The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. The pretexts change, but the jihad imperative always remains.

“ISIS Video Warns ‘Flames of War Will Burn’ U.S. Like After Obama’s Iraq Withdrawal,” by Bridget Johnson, PJ Media, December 27, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An ISIS-linked group declared that “the flames of war” will “come to America” following U.S. withdrawal from Syria in the same way that ISIS’ power was ignited by President Obama deciding to pull U.S. forces from Iraq.

The eight-minute video, “It’s Still Burning,” was released online by al-Asawirti Media, which has produced films in support of ISIS since the caliphate was declared in 2014.

Intoning “Remember” over and over, the video begins with President Trump declaring in a White House video that “we have won against ISIS.”

“They have anticipated they can’t fight against us forever,” the video states, proceeding to show a clip of Obama declaring U.S. troops would come home from Iraq. “They keep repeating the same self-defeating behaviors,” the video text adds.

“We tell the Americans, the protectors of the Jews and the Crusader protector, whether you withdrew or not our victory is in our continuation,” a narrator says over footage of ISIS battlefield scenes. “Even if you withdraw, you will return soon. If you cannot turn back, we will invade you from everywhere and you will hear our footsteps on the ground. The fighting has just begun and we are confident of victory from Allah.” ISIS won’t stop, the narrator vows, until jihadists can “pray in Rome.”

The video uses recent clips of pundits and commentators, including former supreme allied commander in Europe retired Adm. James Stavridis and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).

It also twice uses clips of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) slamming the decision to withdraw from Syria. “If you’re tired of fighting radical Islam, I understand it — they’re not tired of fighting you,” Graham tells reporters in one clip.

The other clip shows Graham calling the Syria pullout “an Obama-like decision — I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am.”

With the theme of flames woven throughout the video, the White House is depicted as on fire and eventually exploding.

“When Obama announced American flight from Iraq, the fire of our war was just burning in Iraq — but today the flames of war are still burning in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sinai, East Africa and Libya etc. And America announced again the escape from combat. And in sha Allah will soon the flames of war come to America,” text onscreen stated over a map of regional hot spots….

    ISIS sees its defeat in Syria and Iraq as a VICTORY. This is the Muslim mind at work.

    Islam is a form of hysteria and self-hypnosis.

      In part because in their “modesty” they imagine themselves the unique representatives of God, they engage in maximal bloviation and hot air. It’s rather like that bloviating Iraqi public spokesman during the US invasion. He was blabbering about overwhelming victory for Sadaam Hussein’s government as it was being totally overrun by US forces. Also like the bloviation of Hussein himself with his “mother of all battles” nonsense. Every politician bloviates, but the Middle East frequently takes it to a ridiculous extent of often utterly and ridiculously vacuous braggadocio.

      The behavior also stems from the context of living in a dictatorship, which more than any other form of government demands that people learn how to lie continually.

      Pakistan does this regularly in all its skirmishes with the Indians at the border and where it loses all the time and still claims victory. The world’s first islamic state is not ISIS, it is veritably Pakistan.

    All is exactly as I have thought it would be. There will be no defeat of Islam until the last muslim is dead. There can’t be, in reality. No person on this earth can resist a message such as the message the Qu’ran is constantly reiterating (especially in the last 100 or so pages) and which is instilled from the time of conception by the mother, often 4 or 5 times daily by oral rote until they die. No one can resist that and survive. Of course Islam doesn’t let any apostate survive, not any man or any woman. And the punishments are draconian.

    We should not admit one more muslim into the USA. Period.

    We can only erect walls here and send the dims over there to experience Islam first hand. I think the first group should be women as women here in the States should be raising Caine about how Muslim women are treated, about FGM, and the low status of women and children over all. Yet I hear nothing, absolutely nothing from our “modern, extremist women who want equality with men in every aspect of their lives. That is not to say women shouldn’t be equal under the law and in the spiritual life, but I am really happy my partner is strong enough to do the manly things like chop wood, drive huge trucks,

      I disagree. Many have “resisted” this message. It’s evil is repulsive to some, including many who comment here, and thousands who are being slaughtered because they “resist.”

        some, i believe that Bodega means that when a child is indoctrinated with this poison from birth, he cannot resist the evil of the message. yes, many resist, but those who are the first victims of islam – the ummah – have an infection that is highly resistant to the cures of reason, rationality, and love. it literally takes God to fix a muslim, the evil is so intense.

        • somehistory says

          Dec 31, 2018 at 6:23 pm

          She did write “no person on this earth.” And with that, I disagree.

          As for your point about children:
          Most of the children do follow in the footsteps of their parents. However, the Apostle Paul said that there are people who “naturally do the things of the Law” without having anyone tell them what is contained in the Law. (God’s Law)

          There have been many who were raised to be moslim who, when old enough to get away, have left the death cult, recognizing it for what it is. It is “possible to resist.” God can see the inner most feelings and “intentions of the heart” and help those that wish to resist the evil of their parents. Not all of these worship the True God, however.

          I have known some, and there are some who make comments on this site, and even write articles about the evils of islam on this site. Some chose Christianity, and some did not. It is possible to resist islam.

      Bodega,

      “We should not admit one more muslim into the USA. Period.”

      Sounds like President Trump’s original “ban all Muslims”speech – when he was running for office. It sounded a little draconian to me at the time, but now I think that he was essentially correct. Probably better something like “ban all Muslims – with rare, limited, highly monitored exceptions for very short periods of time”.

      Also, the US should deport as many Muslims as legally possible and ban sharia law at the federal level as well as in all 50 individual states.

      • Savvy Kafir says

        Dec 31, 2018 at 8:50 pm

        The U.S. (and the rest of the Western world) needs NEW laws that allow us to deport all Muslims. Islam is unique, and poses a unique threat to free societies. It must be treated differently. Its adherents must be treated differently, if the West is to remain free & civilized.

        As long as they live among us, Muslims will NEVER stop trying to undermine our culture, and our basic freedoms & human rights. Therefore, they must go. The welfare of Muslim colonizers in the West is of little importance compared to the need to keep the free world free.

        If we allow Muslims (aided by their PC, Islam-friendly allies) to plunge the West into a new Dark Age, the lights of freedom will never be re-lit. And future generations will despise us for not acting when we still had the ability to expunge Islam from the West.

        When a revolution or internal coup happens it doesn’t matter what federal law or the Constitution says. That’s how the USA formed, so a federal law banning sharia is a bandaid. As it is, many of the things in sharia law are already illegal here on the federal and state level and in our Constitution such as we abolished slavery. Laws regarding age of marriage vary from state to state; in some states minors can be married with the consent of the parents and judge ruling. They sure need to get those off the books-it should 18 nationwide. FGM is illegal or supposed to be. We don’t chop of hands for stealing, no one enforces adultery laws and women can divorce their husbands for any reason, not so in Islamic sharia.

        Anyway, when the mullahs took over Iran they changed their constitution and even the flag. Then they tried to erase Iran’s imperial history from their minds and school.

        Nothing on paper is permanent. What people need are strong wills and to realize you have to do uncomfortable things to save yourselves especially when your enemies will give you no quarter.

        • James Lincoln says

          Jan 1, 2019 at 7:33 am

          KWJ,

          You made some good points.

          A country’s laws are still only as good as their enforcement. Our country’s immigration laws are a good example. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to ban sharia law at the federal and state level in the United States – with 100% enforcement.

          Agree, age of marriage should be 18 nationwide.

          You are absolutely correct, strong wills are more important than anything else.

    Unfortunately the only time the west will become serious about defeating the Islamists is when they have delivered a blow so hard that it shocks the majority of Liberals, and those with their heads in the sand, out of their stupor and forces them to react with determined force enough to completely eradicate the Islamist leadership and their jihadist forces.

    It will take an attack on the scale of a dirty bomb on a major city to open the eyes of the wilfully blind idiots.

      Tom . You hit the nail on the head. 911 didn’t wake the Liberals. There still living in La La land .I agree the Muslims /Islamists will poke the bear and it will come to life in the form of something they have never seen before. President Trump has said it before and he has the fortitude and vision to get it done and clean up the muslims once and for all.They will likely be turned to sand. That’s why the Dems want to remove President Trump from office.
      The same goes for Canada with the muslim loving/supporting PM we have.
      Only problem we have is we don’t have anyone like Trump at the present to stand up to them.Hopefully next October we rid Canada of this Islamic parasite

        Trump isn’t doing anything. You know, the early 70s Kissinger said we should have bombed Saudi Arabia. I guess he was angry with the oil embargo they put on us and hence the 1974 oil crisis. Some military guys-higher rank-have said how religion is a problem in regards to the Middle East and our relationships.

        Some of these comments fuel the paranoia some Muslims who say the govt is out to kill Muslims. If that truly were the case we have failed miserably. I don’t think the Clintons helping the Bosnian Muslims gots that idea. Kosovo is a sh*thole producing jihadists besides their usual church destroyers.

    We may all be sure of terrible reality that the Muslims who are the jihadist members of that vicious, brutal and murderous jihad entity, ISIS, are still scheming future Islamic t terror/murder attacks in the USA both against the American citizens and this nation as a whole. Nevertheless, we ,as Americans , should not live in fear nor be afraid to go to different places or do different things out of being afraid of an ISIS jihad attack . For to live in fear would make the jihadists of ISIS happy.
    Still, even though we need not live in fear we should be alert and aware of our surrounding as likewise be on the lookout for anything appears wrong or out of place. As in “What’s wrong with this picture?” Then if anything is seen that doesn’t seem right then go and inform and right person about it.
    For example , that tee -shirt vendor in New York City , at times square who saw some smoke come out of a parked van .So he went a told police officer about it. As it has been said “If you see something, say something.” This may be put in another way, be the words of a former US President, Thomas Jefferson, For his wise words apply, even more now, then they did in his own time. For Mr. Jefferson declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”

    Furthermore, concerning the dangerous and deadly jihad entity, 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.

    As to answer one question that some good decent Americans might ask and wonder , for they can’t comprehend as how men can be so malicious and vicious as to actually scheme further horrible terror attacks in the USA or any other nation as those Muslim terrorists who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS. The answer explained, in part, by the following essay.

    The jihadists of ISIS are engaging in the Islamic doctrine of “Muruna” which is the dogma of Islam that teaches committing evil for the greater good is a noble part of the jihad for Islam. This is, in essence, the same type of “philosophy” that the communists had gone by in the twentieth century. That it’s a “good thing “ to commit many evils to obtain a “worker’s paradise.” Likewise, during World War II even the Nazis had this line of thinking.” To express, as in to illustrate this idea, even more, is by using a twenty-first century movie. Near the end of this movie, just before the final defeat of the super-arch –villain General Zod , that super villain said “No matter how brutal and deadly I was I did it for the greater good.” That is the common mindset of many villains including those of ISIS.

    the pope and his spokesman should go on over and have a serious talk…a “dialogue” with these terrorists and reason it all out, maybe wash their feet and nod a lot when they say what they are going to do.

    The picture of the “flames” destroying the Wh, looks fairly unprofessional and silly. They expect it to terrorize all of us living in the States. Their fake “god” is a loser and so are his children doing his evil bidding.
