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

Saudi Arabia foils Islamic State jihad attack; 13 jihadis arrested, 4 killed

Apr 24, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Saudi Arabia has arrested 13 individuals in connection with planning attacks in the kingdom, a day after security forces said they had thwarted an attack near the capital. The arrest comes after Islamic State claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attempted attack on a state security building in Zulf.”

It’s no secret that Muslims also attack Muslims whom they deem insufficiently Muslim.

After crushing an al-Qaeda insurgency over a decade ago, deadly bombings and shootings have been carried out by Islamic State against security forces and minority Shi’ite Muslims in Saudi Arabia.

Over 12 million Muslims have been murdered by Muslims since 1948. Although Islamic supremacist groups in the West have fought tirelessly to bring in open door immigration — levying charges of “Islamophobia” against prudent Westerners who disagree with reckless immigration policies — such groups will not acknowledge that Muslims will also become targets of aggression and violence because of open-door immigration. Minority Muslim sects are particularly vulnerable.

With that said, Saudi Arabia is no innocent. It is a big exporter of Wahhabi jihad doctrine through its petrodollar funding of mosques worldwide, and its barbaric practices were justly summed up in a Newsweek headline: When it Comes to Beheadings, ISIS Has Nothing Over Saudi Arabia. Islamic State sex slaves were also being auctioned off in Saudi Arabia.

Islamic State and al Qaeda have for years criticised the leadership of the Western-allied kingdom, accusing it of deviating from their strict interpretation of Islam and advancing the interests of their U.S. enemies.

“Saudi Arabia foil ISIS terror attack, kill four terrorists, arrest 13 and seize suicide vests at bomb making factory,” by Bhvishya Patel, Mail Online, April 22, 2019:

Saudi Arabia has arrested 13 individuals in connection with planning attacks in the kingdom, a day after security forces said they had thwarted an attack near the capital.

The arrest comes after Islamic State claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attempted attack on a state security building in Zulfi, a small city about 250 km (155 miles) northwest of the capital.

Security forces have also confirmed that they had killed four alleged Islamic State militants who had planned Sunday’s attack, according to state news agency Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

According to reports, the attempted terrorist attack was being planned for the Interior Ministry building in the al-Zulfi suburb in Riyadh.

Following the arrests, the terrorists were identified as Saudi militants who belonged to the terrorist organisation ISIS.

On Sunday, police forces raided a nearby rest-house they said the militants had rented for use as a bomb factory, and seized suicide vests, homemade bombs, Kalashnikov rifles and Islamic State publications.

Also among the items seized were five explosive belts, organic fertiliser and two laptops.

After crushing an al-Qaeda insurgency over a decade ago, deadly bombings and shootings have been carried out by Islamic State against security forces and minority Shi’ite Muslims in Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter.

Islamic State and al Qaeda have for years criticised the leadership of the Western-allied kingdom, accusing it of deviating from their strict interpretation of Islam and advancing the interests of their U.S. enemies.

The arrests comes as the terrorist group begins to lose their last stronghold in Syria after taking it over in 2014…..

    In this excellent article, Douglass-Williams states: “It’s no secret that Muslims also attack Muslims whom they deem insufficiently Muslim.”

    This is called the ‘near-enemy doctrine’ … also the ‘takfiri’ doctrine. It comes from a number of modern BACK-TO-BASICS Salafist theoreticians who are widely admired by jihadists.

    Any Muslims who are not following and implementing strict Sharia should be killed or at least removed from power by force if necessary, but for the Purist-Salafists killing the ‘near-enemies’ is the best insurance that they will not come back.

    Their Motto: More Muslim than thou.

    There will always be someone ‘More Muslim’ than the others, so CANNABALISTIC JIHADS like this will always exist until governments decide to deprogram ALL Muslims right out of Islam. This can be done about 90% or more because Muslims are becoming more educated every day and will be able to see that Islam is loads of hogwash and taqiyya.

      Yeah that’s why Sunnis kill Shia Muslims, for not being Muslim enough.

      An attack by a jihadi on my fellow Australian & New Zealanders who are in Gallipoli for the Anzac day memorial has been foiled. I wonder what the New Zealand Prime Minister would have said if a jihadi killed a bunch of New Zealanders in Turkey?

      Mortimer,

      How about for their motto “Mo-lier than Thou” instead of “More Muslim than Thou”?

      Mortimer,

      Does it not remind one of Thomas Hobbes’ explanation and reason for a government? Hobbes argues that if there was no government of any kind, men would eventually destroy each other until only one was standing. This has always reminded me of Islam where one tribe slaughters another one for their lack of belief and sooner or later after there is only one tribe, its members would destroy each other until only one person would remain.

    No we do not need Saudi oil so badly to ignore,the doctrine of Islam, and the goals of the ummah.(islamic commmunity),which is funding mosques throughout the world to grow the threat of the goals of dawah and jihad against non believers. The ones who state they are not taught to murder have no problem sending out martyrs to use weapons to soften our resistance with campaigns that merge into society and know how to terrorize by taking his life to take the lives of many around them. “That couldn’t be true I don’t believe, this description there is no connection to Islam,that is a conspiracy theory by nut cases, racists, bigots.”.. says the uninformed possible liberal. In this case what you don’t know can cause more chaos and dangers to many lives. The borders are a necessary part to control the chaos, the flow of enemies among the human traffickers, but knowing the enemy is a equally or a major component to defend against this enemy. The enemy is struggling internally for power, some day the winner will be positioned to take all if we, more importantly our leadership, do not take all steps to know the deceptions, fight the information control by the enemy, take into account the descriptions and tactics and doctrine into account. Some allies are part of this problem and with a law making section of the U.S. government,seduced into deception we are in serious trouble, will this problem go away once the MB goes away…or would it be more effective to remove the doctrine being taught and stop the chaotic flow of the mass migration aided by drug cartels. We need those who know why this enemy acts, not “blind to jihad” in our national security.

    Saudi Arabia foils Islamic State jihad attack; 13 jihadis arrested, 4 killed
    ……………..

    Saudi Arabia only has a problem with Jihad when it is targeted against them.

    Rule #1 don’t crap on your own doorstep. Muslims hate other Muslims for not being ‘Muslim’ enough (TAKFIRI),. Period. Anyway it is poetic justice as Saudi Arabia is throwing truckloads of cash at these organisations. It’s now long overdue that the World should wage Jihad on Islam. See how they like it.
