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

Mozambique: “We want everyone here to apply Islamic law. We want a government from Allah.”

Apr 17, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“We want everyone here to apply Islamic law. We don’t want a government from unbelievers, we want a government from Allah.”

If our moral superiors weren’t around to assure us to the contrary, one might almost get the idea that this had something to do with Islam.

“Extremists in northern Mozambique declare goal of caliphate,” AFP, April 15, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

MAPUTO, Mozambique – A shadowy Islamist group that has terrorised northern Mozambique for more than two years has suddenly become more brazen, unmasking its fighters and openly declaring its goal of turning the gas-rich region into an Islamic state.

In recent weeks, the jihadists have seized government buildings, robbed banks, blocked roads and hoisted their black-and-white flag over towns and villages across Cabo Delgado province.

“We want everyone here to apply Islamic law,” a Kalashnikov-wielding group member told terrified residents in a video that appeared to have been shot in Mocimboa da Praia after a recent attack….

“We don’t want a government from unbelievers, we want a government from Allah,” the group member added, speaking in the local Kimwani language to residents rounded up for a rally….

Locally they are known as al-Shabab, although they have no known links to the ruthless jihadist group of that name operating in Somalia.

Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP), affiliated with the Islamic State group, has claimed the Mocimboa attack, as it has in a few previous attacks since last year.

“From the images and from what the insurgents said, we know that these men are from the town of Mocimboa da Praia and that they belong to the group that made the first insurgents attack in October 2017,” said African history expert Eric Morier-Genoud, a senior lecturer at Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland.

“We hear them again lay out their ultimate objective: the establishment of an Islamist state regulated by Sharia rule.”…

    Time for Africans to organize, unite and defend themselves against Jihad and the renewal of Muslim depredations against non-Muslims throughout Africa, which have been ongoing since the 7th century.

    “We want….” That’s bad enough, but shouldn’t it be: “We DEMAND……!!” And since there is no allah, they actually demand a government by imams, who are ‘islam’.

    For readers who don’t live in Mozambique: Would you rather fight them in Mozambique or on the street where you live? Well, tell your legislators.

    Yeah, let’s rush back to the 7th century Arab lifestyle, even though it was primitive and way out of date even 1400 years ago, when compared to the civilised world. What a bunch of knuckle dragging primitives. The problem is that primitive Sharia barbarity is really what most Muslims all around the world also want. islam is all just a primitive, backward throwback that tries to impose a load of totally barbaric rubbish (child brides, four wives, honour killings, murdering non-believers, raping non-Muslims, death for anyone who tries to leave islam, etc) and, yet, somehow, so many fools in the non-Muslim world defend this barbaric ideology and call for it to be respected.

      Tim
      Your comment is well-informed but an equal or worse threat comes from people who are not so knowledgeable; the bleeding heart ignoramuses who support the Islamic invasion.

        I agree, jimjfox, and it constantly amazes me that anyone can support barbaric Islam and keep telling us that it deserves to be treated with respect. There is surely enough evidence of how evil islam is (as I mentioned up above, the child brides, etc) for even the slowest of slow learners to have woken up by now. “Bleeding heart ignoramuses” is a good way to describe many of these people. Their idiocy endangers us all.

    Mozambique: “We want everyone here to apply Islamic law. We want a government from Allah.”
    …………………..

    This is what *all* pious Muslims want, and what Islam demands.

    And Mozambique is only about 18% Muslim–but this is enough for widespread Jihad terror and a push to impose Islam on everyone there.

    None of this matters, Mozambique is in Africa and if Africa has any problems we just send more money, show more pictures of dirty little kids with flies on them, talk about all the great work we’ve done on AIDS and get back to the big money of charity.

    There isn’t one “christian” group in the world who would help arm these good people so they could defend themselves. They have to rely on, in most cases, a corrupt and weak government. They will have little choice but to die or convert. We’ve seen it play out many times in the last several decades.

    Mozambique: “We want everyone here to apply Islamic law. We want a government from Allah.” This is disturbing development. When the British colonial masters handed over Nigeria – the so-called giant of Africa to a non indigenous people of Fulani Caliphate after Nigeria’s independence in 1960, to maintain control of the land, they did not know what they were doing. Today, Nigeria is ongoing total islamization and fulanization – essentially Allah/Sharia system of government. The Fulani Caliphate has essentially hijacked all aspects of government in Nigeria, in addition created and sponsor well-known deadly terrorist sects namely – Boko Haram, ISIS of West Africa, Fulani Herdsmen and Myetti Allah. These murderous terrorist sects have killed thousands of Christians and Indigenous Peoples of Nigeria including Muslims who betray their ultimate goal to establish Sharia government. These groups are also responsible for the killings in the entire sub-Sahara Africa including what’s happening now in Mozambique. If the West and global powers do not intervene in Africa, these Islamic terrorist groups will overtake Africa and its rich natural resources. Africa will become an Islamic continent and from there they will launch ferocious attacks against the West. Africa needs help to defeat these terrorist sects, jihadists and setup true democracies especially in the nations where non Muslims are not in majority.

      King, unfortunately few countries which are Muslim-majority would want to defeat Jihadists. Jihad is orthodox Islam–democracy is not.
