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

Trump releases photo of “the wonderful dog that did such a GREAT JOB in capturing and killing the Leader of ISIS”

Oct 29, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Watch for Dana Shell Smith and other Leftists to be enraged that Trump allowed a dog to be set on al-Baghdadi, since dogs are unclean in Islam; it was disrespectful, and above all, we must show respect to those who would destroy us.

“Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50

“Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.” — Sahih Muslim 3811

“Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” — Sahih Muslim 551

“President Trump releases photo of hero dog injured in Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi raid,” by Liam Quinn, Fox News, October 28, 2019 (thanks to John):

Who’s a good boy?

President Trump answered that question Monday afternoon when he tweeted a photo of the U.S. military dog injured in the raid that claimed the life of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The hero dog — name still a mystery — was unveiled in a tweet, reading: “We have declassified a picture of the wonderful dog (name not declassified) that did such a GREAT JOB in capturing and killing the Leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi!”

The photo was released hours after Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters during a briefing Monday that the dog “performed a tremendous service” and was “slightly wounded” but is now “fully recovering.”

President Trump released a photo Monday of the military dog injured in the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi raid over the weekend.

The dog has “returned to duty” and is back “with its handler,” he said.

Trump first revealed Sunday that military dogs chased al-Baghdadi down a dark underground tunnel before the terrorist leader detonated a suicide vest….

        Islam is losing ground everywhere? Collapsing from within? That is wishful thinking taken to the extreme.

        Muslim colonizers/invaders are currently Islamizing the West at an alarming rate. The Demographic Jihad threatens to destroy the entire civilized world. The fact that ISIS has lost most of its real estate in Syria, and has fragmented into many smaller organizations is cold comfort if the fate of the Western world concerns you.

    At last the leftists acknowledge that ISIS has something to do with Islam.

    • Patriotliz says

      Oct 30, 2019 at 10:11 am

      That’s right. Baghdadi was an “austere religious leader”…that would be specifically an Islamic religious leader.

      ISIS = ISLAM.

      • Patriotliz says

    Here’s how Trump can really make them go ape-shiitte,

    Release the Woof-Cam video of the dog zero-ing in on al-Baghdadi, with a sound track of Patsy Cline singing I Fall to Pieces.

    • Patriotliz says

      Oct 30, 2019 at 10:08 am

      What a great idea (but I could do w/o the Patsy Cline song). I like the fact that Trump is rubbing it in that Baghdadi was chased down by our hero dog. Like Robert Spencer says, Muslims hate dogs…it’s the ultimate insult…that’s a good enough insult. They abuse and kill dogs. Muhammad had cynaphobia, especially against black dogs. He felt that dogs interrupted their prayer to Allah. I guess that was certainly the case in the last moments of Baghdadi’s horror. I think this hero dog did his duty also on behalf of all canines persecuted by Muslims.

      • rgraysonhi says

        Oct 30, 2019 at 6:08 pm

        I also understand that Muhammad disliked dogs because they alerted their owners (caravans and other potential victims) that “intruders” (i.e. Muslims) were approaching, and that gave their victims time to prepare against Muhammad’s attacks. THAT makes a lot of sense. NO WONDER he hates dogs so much!!

      It’s a Belgian Malinois. The link probably won’t work here, so look up on Youtube: Belgian Malinois, Amazing Athlete!!! But just in case, here’s the link anyway: https://youtu.be/orAGU04T0rc

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 29, 2019 at 8:35 pm

      Chrissie, i believe this brave dog is actually a Belgian Malinois–but they are indeed closely related to German Shepherds.

      • mortimer says

        Oct 30, 2019 at 1:19 am

        QUOTES:
        Belgian Malinois are much easier to control and train. While both breeds are intelligent, Belgian Malinois dogs tend to be more involved in the activity, making it easier for the trainer. Also, Malinois dogs are curious pets and are always keen to learn new things.

        The Washington Examiner understands the dog is a Belgian Malinois, a special breed commonly used by the military and police. A Belgian Malinois named Cairo accompanied SEAL Team Six on Operation Neptune Spear, which took out al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. The breed is preferred for its compact size, making it ideal for fast-roping or jumping out of aircraft.

        Handlers often refer to Belgian Malinois dogs as “Maligators” or “hair missiles” due to their speed and strong jaw.

        This dog’s identity is being kept secret by the Army. It is going back to the front.

    Apart from dogs , some wild pigs should also be trained to chase and kill,

    the very sight of which will terrify the ‘devout’ fools.

      Yes.

      Specially trained Attack Porkers{perhaps called “the Gadarene Unit}

      {We know allah is terrified of pigs because in islamic prophecy{sahih bukhari vol 4 book 60 no 3448} it refers to the coming of Jesus{the muslim version,not the Jewish Jesus} to..and I quote verbatim “to KILL ALL THE PIGS”.what sort of god is afraid of pigs and wants them all dead?al lah teh god of islam}

      Funny you should mention it. Alexander the Great once had a special war pig unit to combat India’s war elephants, where the soldiers would set the pigs on fire and let them loose towards the terrified elephants who would in turn wreak havoc upon their own armies. Romans later adopted that same method against Carthaginians. I imagine the same method would be quite effective against muslims.

    My favorite scenes on Live PD are the dog chases. Those dogs have 10k times the smell sensitivity of a human.

      Smell sensitivity not normally needed in these cases.

    It is simple poetic justice that dogs were used to track him down to his doom since he loved them so.

  11. Anjuli Pandavar says

    Oct 29, 2019 at 12:45 pm

    This is FANTASTIC!

    Humiliation is crucial in this fight. I disagree with those who say that killing al-Baghdadi makes no difference to the fight against jihad. It depends on whether Muslims are humiliated in the process or not. This makes a big difference. Of course this is not the end of the fight. No sensible person would claim that. But this blow hurts. It hurts badly. This must be the first caliph in history who was brought down by a dog. Keep that in mind, Erdogan!

    • Carol the 1st says

    What a handsome dog. He can now retire to the good life after serving his nation and the world in eliminating a force of evil. May his food bowl be overflowing and dog biscuits plentiful in all the rest of his days.

    Oct 29, 2019 at 3:57 pm

    What a great dog!

    Bravo Zulu!

    Since the hero dog likely came in direct contact with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, I assume the military veterinarians conducted a complete physical and checked / treated for:

    Any acute injuries.

    Blood-borne pathogens / any other signs of bacterial / viral infection.

    Lice, crabs, etc.

    And also gave the hero dog a very, very thorough cleaning to remove any stench of the dead ISIS leader…

    That looks like Justin Trudeau’s brown dog in blackfurce.

    But this can’t be! Some other Islamic teacher said that a black dog is a devil: https://hamariweb.com/islam/hadith/sahih-muslim-1137/

    You see the irony.

    Many dogs are fully aware when a person is bad, evil, wicked, etc. and will either growl, bark, bite, etc., the said evil person if they attempt close interaction. I have owned such dogs.

    This dog and its work mates could most likely sense the evil coming from the ‘bag’ man and would have reacted accordingly even without instructions from the handlers.

    Probably the real reason the mass-murdering, raper of children didn’t like dogs was because they hated him first, sensing his depraved, demonic evil.

    That doggo deserves an appropriate reward:let me imagine what it might be..

    3)A bone?

    what must it be thinking?

    Speaking of dirty and unclean. I heard Baghdadis dirty underwear was smuggled out and that scent was what the dog used to track the whimpering runner down. The dog should get a medal and a nice warm bath just for having to deal with that. Above and beyond.
