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

Israeli strike in Syria thwarted “imminent” jihad attack by Iranian drones

Aug 26, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Watch for a fresh United Nations condemnation of…Israel, for the crime of defending itself.

“Israel says latest Syria airstrike thwarted ‘imminent’ attack by Iranian drones,” by Vandana Rambaran, Fox News, August 24, 2019:

The Israeli military carried out a late-night attack on targets inside Syria Saturday in what it described as a successful effort to thwart a “very imminent” Iranian drone strike.

The airstrike appeared to be one of the most intense efforts by Israeli forces to tamp down Tehran’s military action in the Damascus area and triggered anti-aircraft fire by Syrian forces.

Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, a military spokesman, told The Associated Press that Israeli officials had been monitoring a plot for several months in which they believed Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ Al Quds force, in conjunction with allied Shiite militias, had been planning to send explosives-laden attack drones into Israel.

The Iranians initially attempted to put the plan into motion on Thursday but were stopped by Israeli forces, Conricus said. The plan was tried again late Saturday, prompting the airstrike…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the airstrike on Twitter and issued this warning to Israel’s enemies in Iran: “Iran has no immunity anywhere. Our forces operate in every sector against the Iranian aggression. ‘If someone rises up to kill you, kill him first.'”…

    To plagiarize Islam’s alleged prophet: war is deceit.

    The ‘strike’ scenario is quite plausible.

    Really plausible.

    Extremely plausible.

    And the real reason might be something entirely different.

    Can’t trust a moslim, or moslim nation, to do the right thing, or even the intelligent thing.

    A person, or nation, must protect himself/itself from the evil and the stupid.

    Iran’s attempted drown strike is keeping with the long history of that violent “mullah regime” of Iran.

    Likewise also goes with bounds All this fits with the actual legacy of Ayatollah Khomeini is the of violence and war. To be more specific Islamic violence and war. Strangely, there are many young people and strangely many older people, who are Westerns who in the United States as well other countries of the West are, no doubt sincere but very misinformed ,as in misled, therefore say ,because they believe it, that “Islam is a peaceful and non-violent religion .” To those people the first and supreme Ayatollah Khomeini , who was the very head this current Islamic regime of Iran knows better stated about how he feels about those naive Westerns .For he declared “Islam grew with blood….Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels” He also said “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1]

    So, in other words Ayatollah Khomenei felt nothing but arrogant contempt for those people who say that his religion “Is a peaceful religion” and understand that they in ignorant and uninformed.

    Therefore the West needs to wake up to the reality of the truth about the actual violent essence of this religion.

    This situation of the violence of drown strikes is keeping with the national character of the rough Islamic state of Iran.

    Therefore that attack, by Iran, should be of no surprise to any informant person, in fact , this fits in with the real legacy of Ayatollah Khomeini who was the Imam who was so powerful that he played large role in the establishment of the current Islamic tyranny of Iran which has the official title of “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” Khomeini had declared “ Jihad or Holy War ,which is for the conquest of [other ] countries and kingdoms , becomes incumbent after the formation of the Islamic State in the presence of the Imam or in accordance with his command. Then Islam makes it incumbent on all males…to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world… those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. The goal of this conquest would be to establish the hegemony of Islamic law.” [1]

    “Watch for a fresh United Nations condemnation of…Israel, for the crime of defending itself.”

    Right, I’ve seen the script so many times I can predict it myself:

    Palestine or another Middle East country attacks Israel.
    Media silent.
    Israel employs self defense against the attack.
    Media: “Israel attacks Palestine!”

    I suppose that Iran’s drone capability was in no way advanced by the US drone they got their hands on when Obama was in the Whitehouse, and the only course of action he could come up with at a press conference was….”We’ve asked for it back” Wow! that really did a lot of good! Once again Israel has taken direct action in response to a threat, just as when they bombed the nuclear facility back in the 70’s/80’s.

      Yes–Iran stole this technology from the West.
