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

Two more “austere religious scholars” killed at Trump’s direction

Feb 7, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Last October, the Washington Post hailed ISIS caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar.” Because it was Trump who ordered that these jihad mass murderers be taken out as well, watch for the establishment media to eulogize them in similar terms.

“White House Confirms Trump Has Killed Two More Top Terrorists,” by Ryan Saavedra, Daily Wire, February 6, 2020:

The Trump administration confirmed that a mission directed by President Donald Trump last month was successful in killing a top Al-Qaeda terrorist in the Middle East.

“At the direction of President Donald J. Trump, the United States conducted a counterterrorism operation in Yemen that successfully eliminated Qasim al-Rimi, a founder and the leader of al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and a deputy to al-Qa’ida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. Rimi joined al-Qa’ida in the 1990s, working in Afghanistan for Osama bin Laden,” The White House said in a statement. “Under Rimi, AQAP committed unconscionable violence against civilians in Yemen and sought to conduct and inspire numerous attacks against the United States and our forces.”

“His death further degrades AQAP and the global al-Qa’ida movement, and it brings us closer to eliminating the threats these groups pose to our national security,” the statement continued. “The United States, our interests, and our allies are safer as a result of his death. We will continue to protect the American people by tracking down and eliminating terrorists who seek to do us harm.”

News that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had targeted al-Rimi in a strike initially broke last week, although the U.S. government did not put out a statement at the time confirming the news.

The New York Times reported on Sunday that al-Rimi had claimed credit for the December 6 Islamic terrorist attack on Naval Air Station Pensacola where three U.S. sailors were killed and eight other Americans sustained severe injuries.

The Daily Wire highlighted last week several other top Islamic terrorists that Trump has killed since October:

The news comes after a Trump-authorized drone strike killed Iranian terrorist leader Qassem Soleimani, Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF), in early January….

        I mean it is not as if any of these austere islamic “scholars” are particularly gifted in Theology because there is a 1,400 year old EPIC Theology fail in the koran [k5:116}which they SHOULD have noticed as allah tells them to consult ..the Bible if in doubt:-

        “And if thou muhammed art in doubt concerning that which WE reveal unto thee,then question those who read the scripture that was before thee”
        koran 10:94

        The scripture that was “before thee” is the Bible{=Torah+Gospel}.
        allah confirms the Bible as TRUE in koran 3:3 ,certainly at the time of writing of the koran.
        {muslims falsely claim the Bible was corrupted but that is not true:the muslims “scholars” simply don’t want muslims to read the Bible which is funny because alalh tells muhamed to consult in in koran 10:94}

        The EPIC Theology fail is in koran 5:116 where allah reveals he completely misunderstood the Trinity thinking Christians believe it to be
        {allah,Jesus and MARY}.Mary is not in the Trinity and her presence means the absence of the Holy Spirit of God’s Wisdom.

        I am not a Theologian but I can see the problem:so could an atheist.

        Don’t you think the “scholars” of islam should have CHECKED with the Bible and at least followed allah’s advice in koran 10:94:obviously they didn’t as they should have spotted the error?

        1,400 years the muslim “scholars” have had their “perfect” book.
        1,400 years of islamic study:and they MISSED the Epic Theology fail?

    It would be better to arrest such people and put them in jail for life or execute them after a military trial. But if they get sent to Guantanamo and a later president releases them, it would be better for them to be dead soon.

    • Frank Anderson says

      Feb 7, 2020 at 3:11 pm

      James, the difference between us and them is that we do not enjoy killing. A second difference is that we do not enjoy death or slavery. If Gitmo has proven anything, it is the futility of temporary confinement followed by release. Look at the current “negotiators” for the “Tall Lee Ban” who spent time in Gitmo to be traded for Bergdahl.

      The only way to make sure confinement and removal from the battlefield of terror is permanent is 6 feet under.

      If as my respected friend Mortimer believes, that some kind of deprogramming were possible, then we would already see success in deprogramming child molesters and spousal abusers. It has never succeeded.

      Israel put an end to suicide bombings by its fence and by targeted killing of the bosses who sent those ????? to their deaths.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 10, 2020 at 9:34 pm

        Yes–also checkpoints. Hard for Jihadists to get explosives into Israel these days.

    • Greyhound Fancier says

      Feb 8, 2020 at 10:08 am

      I think the execution after the military trial is a good option.
      However, al Rimi escaped from prison in 2006. I don’t trust the prison system to contain these types until justice can be done.

      Though we won’t acknowledge it, the islamic terrorists are at war with us. They are combatants. They announce that publicly. They are not shy about it. By announcing themselves as jihadis, they make themselves eligible to become shahid.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Feb 10, 2020 at 4:33 pm

      Jihadis should be eliminated in the quickest, cheapest, most efficient manner possible. We are at war with people who want to (quite literally) destroy us. WWII could not have been won by the Allies if every rabid SS soldier or stormtrooper had to be captured and put on trial, rather than killed on the battlefield.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Feb 10, 2020 at 4:35 pm

      There is no good reason to put jihadis in prison for life. Why should we waste billions of dollars, as well as prison space, on people who despise us and want to destroy us. That is madness!

  4. Jean Terry says

    Feb 7, 2020 at 3:01 pm

    This seems like the right thing to do. It helps stop more killings of Americans and other people and makes war less likely. Destroy the top and that is what he is doing.

  5. No Muzzies Here says

    Feb 7, 2020 at 3:02 pm

    Trump is the first president who recognizes the threat from militant Islam, and is doing something about it. That explains why the Democrats hate him so much.

      Pres. Trump is opening up job opportunities all over the world. I hope there will be many more jobs available in al-Qa’ida management.

    This is what happens to those who “live by the sword.” moslims the world over have declared war on everyone else, everywhere else. They should be expecting some defensive measures to come their way.

      Feb 8, 2020 at 8:10 pm

      I think you’re wrong there. We’ve wasted billions, maybe trillions, going after the foot soldiers and there are just too many being recruiting by these “heads.”

      So let’s try going after the heads. It’s far cheaper and less collateral damage.

      When a new leader gets in, if he screams “Death to America.” Bang.

      The next guy comes in and screams, “Death to America.” Bang.

      The next guy comes in and screams, “Death to–.” Bang.

      The next guy comes in and screams–. Bang.

      The next guy comes in and says, “How about we just tease America?” Bang.

      Even if it takes 10, 20 50, a hundred guys, if they’re all popped, pretty soon nobody’s going to want the job cause they know they’ve just been painted with a big old bull’s eye.

      And maybe in the confusion, the locals will get a chance at a peaceful life cause the rest of the underling leaders will probably be thinking “Who ever the new guy we get in, we better make sure he plays nice cause, I DON’T WANT HIS JOB.”

      We know 100% forsure, the OTHER way hasn’t worked.

    11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.
    12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

  12. Wellington says

    Feb 7, 2020 at 7:48 pm

    Here’s a nightmare to consider: Imagine what Bernie or Mayor Butt or Klobuchar (who is on record wanting to reinstall the Iran nuclear deal) or Sleepy Joe or Pocahontas would want to do with these “austere religious scholars.”

    Conclusion: Again can be seen that the Democratic Party of the USA has lost its collective mind (and its collective balls). Right now, Trump is the best guarantor in the world of Islamic bad guys being taken out and you have to be deficient in one way or another (or many ways) not to see this. Bernie, Mayor Butt, Klobuchar, Sleepy Joe and Pocahontas “qualify” here as immensely deficient.

      T.S. with an announced goal, that has been “final, perfect, complete and unchangeable” for 1400 years, has islam left anyone alone, excepted from the goal of world conquest, killing and slavery; even one time? I understand you are being sarcastic; but many deliberately blind, deaf and dumb grasp at any straw to refuse to see the truth. Live as a slave? We know better.

      The foolish “feminists” who side with the mohammedans would not find dhimmitude to be very congenial. If they aren’t careful, we can lose this conflict and then they will find out what real “patriarchy” and oppression are.

    • Terry Gain. says

      Feb 8, 2020 at 12:28 pm

      President Trump also gets it right on open borders, immigration, sanctuary cities, Climate Change, socialism and of course the economy. And unlike Romney, Trump understands that Influence Peddling is wrong.

      Though of course we must give Obama credit for brilliantly creating economic conditions which strangely resulted in a boom economy but only after Trump was elected.

      Of course, as we all know, not only did Obama oppose the 2007 Surge, which along with the Anbar Awakening, pacified Iraq, he said the Surge would make things worse (and he didn’t even add for his side). And yes gall darn it, if Obama didn’t take credit for pacifying Iraq when he foolishly removed all American troops in 2011.

      When Nobel Peace Prizes are awarded for nothing, the unworthy recipients believe their own press clippings.
