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

Al-Qaeda top dog calls for jihad against “the infidels and the corruption they spread”

Sep 14, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“If you want Jihad to be focused solely on military targets, the American military has presence all over the world, from the East to the West. Your countries are littered with American bases, with all the infidels therein and the corruption they spread.”

Islamic apologists, both Muslim and non-Muslim, insist that jihad is an interior spiritual struggle that has nothing whatsoever to do with violence. How is it that Zawahiri didn’t get that memo? How is al-Qaeda able to gain recruits among peaceful Muslims with a message that is, in the Western view, so patently un-Islamic?

“Al-Qaida chief in 9/11 speech calls for attacks on West,” Associated Press, September 11, 2019:

Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri called Wednesday on Muslims to attack U.S., European, Israeli and Russian targets in a speech on the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.

SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks online activity of jihadist groups, reported that in a video released by the militant group, the 68-year-old al-Zawahri also criticizes “backtrackers” from jihad, referring to former jihadis who changed their views in prison and called the 9/11 attacks unacceptable because innocent civilians were harmed.

“If you want Jihad to be focused solely on military targets, the American military has presence all over the world, from the East to the West,” he said. “Your countries are littered with American bases, with all the infidels therein and the corruption they spread.”…

As an indicator of when the speech may have been recorded, al-Zawahri references President Donald Trump’s recognition of the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, which was announced on March 25. He calls on Palestinians to seek “martyrdom” by attacking Israelis with a suicide vest in response….

    Zawahri also called on Muslims to kidnap Western tourists in Muslim countries. What a disgrace.

      Not to him.

      Yes–kidnapping Infidels and either enslaving them, raping them, or holding them for ransom is perfectly Islamic. The “Prophet” regularly did this.

    When its “religion Über alles”.

    Oh, and, nice ‘raisin’ on his head, eh?,

    What sort of medical doctor dedicates his life to RIP BODIES apart and send them flying in the air? He is a disgrace to medicine. Doctors should denounce him. What a monster.

    • PRCS says

      Though not including the ‘flying in the air’ part:

      WWII Japanese Medical experimentation unit.

      Gosnell
      To name but a few.

        True. This is generally very rare among doctors, though–but quite common with Muslim doctors, who do not believe in the Hippocratic Oath.

    “…and the corruption they spread.” Corruption means Western values…religious freedom, Peace, freedom, prosperity, democracy, capitalism and more.

      Exactly. But You can beilve in nothing, do nothing at all, but You will be still corrupted, becouse You do not belive in Islam. You don’t recognise M. as prophet and if You are not willing to imitate him in every his actions: lies, steal, murder, pedophilia, slavery etc. and the most inportant – Jihad, means … You are corrupted kafir.

      Anyone interested in dancing with lying God ? His “paradise” is waiting for You ! You will be really surprised how much enjoyment it could deliver for Your “non corrupted” cooperation 😉

      Just sell Your soul and …

      Unless, of course, he’s talking about jihad in the Caucasus, which is simply controlled opposition.

      Speaking of which, Angemon, where has christianblood gone to? Has he been recalled for being so inept in his Russian trolling?

        And where has CRUSADER been?
        Traveling? I miss his posts.

        • Angemon says

          Sep 14, 2019 at 6:38 pm

          I think I saw CRUSADER posting 2 or 3 days ago.

      • Angemon says

        Sep 14, 2019 at 6:36 pm

        He was suspended for a week or two for spamming. After coming back, he started spamming again (presumably to make up for the lost time) so was suspended for a month. Not to worry, he’s still posting on other sites…

    When Ayman al Zawahiri called on the “Palestinians” ,Muslim/ Arabs, to engage in a”martyrdom” operation by explosive belts it may be of some interest to see that Zawahiri will not seek “martyrdom” for himself
    He only tries to influence other people to commits the suicide/homicide bombings.

    If Zawahiri really believes that those murderous bombings are such a grand and wonderful thing to do then he should practice what he preaches and then he should strap an explosive /bomb vest on himself and then go out an blow himself up.

    That he will never do such a thing himself but attempts to control and sway other impressionable people to do it for him. Al Zawahiri has thus exposed himself for the insincere ,manipulative cowardly scoundrel that he really is

    How come this hideous creep has not been “targeted” like bin laden was?

    He’s been spewing these threats and directions for moslims to murder others for .years and years.

    According to the rules for profiling gangs and terror groups, if he died, another would take his place. But, the next guy might not be as long lasting or as influential as this creep.
    Some groups cannot survive without their founding leader, but al queda is able to because its source is islam.

    Non moslims should not let down their guard, no mater where they are, because moslims are taught to murder others without ceasing.

    So he claims this is what his god teaches is the way to heaven? I think he is in for a surprise. The Lord is not slow … the way some people count slowness. But God is being patient with you. He doesn’t want anyone to be lost. He wants everyone to change their ways and stop sinning. 2 Peter 3:9
    Several times in the Ezekiel He says He doesn’t want people to die, but to change their lives so they can live. Ezekiel 18:23, 18:32, and 33:11 “I swear that I don’t enjoy seeing people die .. not even evil people! I don’t want to see people die. I want them to come back to me. I want them to change their lives so that they can really live. Jesus teaches us to Love our enemies. Matthew 5:43-48 http://www.biblegateway.com (ERV-AR)

      A billion+ Muslims believe ISLAM is the one true religion, that they are the best of people–raised up for all mankind, and that you are the vilest of created beings.

      Besides posting Bible passages–which won’t change their minds or help you neighbors and friends understand the thread–got a game plan?

    Al-Qaeda top dog calls for jihad against “the infidels and the corruption they spread”
    …………………

    “Corruption”–not raping children, Infidel women, and little boys; not stoning gays and “disobedient” women to death; not allowing the mass slaughter of non-Muslims.

  13. Aussie Infidel says

    Sep 14, 2019 at 6:23 pm

    Militant leaders like Zawahiri won’t volunteer to martyr themselves for the cause of Allah. They simply goad the deeply devout psychopaths to do their dirty work for them. He needs to go the way of bin-Laden.

    Nice try, but islam itself is “The Religion of Hypocrisy!”

    Here is some alleged “corruption.”

    Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
    Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

    Look at this crazy looking one generation from the caves nut job. The only way he ever got a women was probably child marriage and rape.
