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

Iraqi security forces arrest ISIS Muslim cleric, he was serving as a preacher at several Mosul mosques

Jan 19, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

An Islamic State Muslim cleric? What? Doesn’t he know what every Western official knows, that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam? Why didn’t these mosques tell Abu Abd Al-Bari that he was misunderstanding their peaceful religion, and cast him out?

“Iraqi police arrest ISIS religious official in eastern Mosul,” by Wladimir van Wilgenburg, Kurdistan 24, January 19, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraqi security forces on Thursday announced the arrest of a senior religious Islamic State official in eastern Mosul.

Iraq’s Security Media Cell said in a statement that the Nineveh Police Command’s SWAT team arrested “a so-called sharia official and mufti of ISIS called Abu Abd al-Bari” in the Mansour neighborhood after continuous investigations and “accurate information.”

Shifa Al-Neama, nicknamed Abu Abd Al-Bari, was allegedly working as a preacher at several mosques in the city of Mosul.

“He is known for his provocative speeches against the [Iraqi] security forces, and he was inciting affiliation and allegiance to ISIS and educating extremist ideology during ISIS’ control over Mosul,” the Security Media Cell said.

“He is considered one of the leaders in the first row of ISIS gangs, and he is responsible for issuing fatwas regarding the execution of a number of scholars and clerics who refrained from pledging allegiance to ISIS.”…

    What?! I though Meshhuga taught that the Muslim eats in one stomach whereas the infidelity eats in seven stomachs? The guy is the epitome of gluttony!

    The fact that this mullah went straight from ISIS to a ‘normal’ mosque, shows that his teachings with ISIS were the same as what he teaches in a regular mosque now. No one can tell the difference between a ‘radical’ mullah and a regular mullah.

    Indeed, hatred directed by Muslims against the dirty kufaar and jihad against them are two normative, compulsory, ‘essential’ teachings of Islam, rather than aberrations. All devout Muslims believe and practice those teachings.

    A Muslim who does not hate the kufaar ‘for the sake of Allah’ and who doesn’t fight (to the death) the dirty kufaar ‘in the cause of Allah’ is not a practicing Muslim and he will not go to Islamic paradise.

    This man counselled and authorized the mutilation, burning, dismemberment, defenestrations and murders of hundreds victims.

    He directed crimes against humanity and should be tried and sentenced.

          *going* to prison – for *life* – would be a good thing, J D.S, but the unfortunate thing is that since iraqi prisons are filled with pious sunni muslims at this point, we would be helping IS by providing its recruits with a trainer, not hurting either him or it. of course, since the government of iraq is run like a province of iran, they may well just kill him in prison, but because *both* sides – the government and IS – are muslim, neither side is worth supporting. we *should* have just occupied the place, divided it up into separate countries along ethnic and religious lines (instead of the stupid “mandatory” lines drawn after WWI), outlawed islam, and occupied the place enforcing peaceful conduct for 500 years; there is no will for that lengthy an occupation in any western country, however, so we should have just stayed out of iraq and kept the great majority of the victims of the mind disease of islam confined to their own s**thole “nations.”

          it is here where i must admit that i supported “state-building” in iraq back in 2003, but that was because i was deluded about islam at the time, just like more than 99% of all americans are today. because of the patience and endurance of people like robert spencer, pamela geller, hugh fitzgerald, et al., i finally saw how nasty this cult really is. nobody listens to me (most of my liberal friends refuse to either listen to me or even check islam for themselves), so i need not fear the retribution of pious muslims, but if i were not self-employed, i would be terrified of losing my job. these people continue speaking the truth – politely, yet! – even in the face of death threats and attempted murder. freedom has no greater defenders; i respect our military, but they get to be armed; mr. spencer, ms. geller, and mr. fitzgerald, must usually walk around UNarmed, and cannot afford to pay for bodyguards. worse yet, The State *REFUSES* to protect them, because islam is a religion of “peace.” U couldn’t make this stuff up and sell it as a movie, because nobody would believe it. that makes it sound like i subscribe to a conspiracy theory or something, but all one must do is look for himself at the “religion” of islam; it’s all there, it’s all bad, and NOBODY IS LOOKING AT ISLAM, let alone DOING anything about it.

          civilization is doomed.

    Well, he’s certainly got charisma as that photo shows. I can definitely see how he would sway his listeners. Seriously, would anyone take any notice of anything this grotesque creature spewed out? Maybe he does have some disease that causes his extreme obesity, but, more likely, his appearance does show an extreme lack of ability to keep his gluttony under any control at all. Then again, most sheikhs and mullahs and Muslim religious spokesmen do look grotesquely ugly by any modern standards. They all resemble leftovers from the 7th century, which I guess is the look they are after (trying to look like their hero Muhammad). I suppose that is the greatest look a Muslim can aspire to. But this character certainly takes the grossness to a new level. As other commenters have said, he looks as though he’d actually have trouble moving at all. Nevertheless, no doubt a dangerous, poisonous creature and plenty of people probably did act on the evil rubbish he preached.

    Of course all that false islamic piety to his Arab god al Lah{“the BEST of deceivers” k3:54}won’t wash away those sins as it seems shaitan has claimed his body …and his soul.

    ISIS has to be pretty ticked off that this photo of their esteemed religious Islamic State official has not only been released but is going VIRAL.

    Nice job, ISIS.

    This dude is a freak show attraction. Just stick him in a HUGE cage, put him on display, and keep him well fed until his execution date.

    The dough will roll in, especially if you can get this hideous creature to preach a few Islamic sermons ordering rape and murder for the audience.

    BTW…I’m totally sympathetic to human deformity and have read and watched all things re: Joseph Merrill (aka The Elephant Man). Interesting and sensitive soul.

    This unfortunate, unhealthy, example of a man is another example of the social outliers – the freaks at the edge of society that are drawn to militarized mythology. And the Left keeps insisting that Americans have some sort of constitutional duty to welcome this value system from the Seventh Century. The HELL we do.
