Mozambique: Islamic State takes over celebrity vacation islands, burns luxury hotels and imposes Sharia

Sep 20, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 25 Comments

The destruction of such places is for the Islamic State (ISIS) an act of devotion to Allah, not just because they consider luxury resort hotels to be centers of sin and debauchery, but because the Qur’an says that the ruins of non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: “Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth.” (Qur’an 3:137)

“Hell in Paradise: ISIS take over stunning islands where Daniel Craig and Bono holiday burning down luxury hotels and imposing Sharia Law,” by Claudia Aoraha, The Sun, September 17, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

ISIS militants have taken over paradise islands in the Indian Ocean, burning down hotels and imposing Sharia Law.

Luxury islands off the coast of Mozambique, where A-list celebrities spend their holidays, have been overrun by insurgents linked to Islamic State.

Luxury hotels, wildlife, and homes have been torched and “reduced to ashes” in the militant attacks.

The ISIS insurgents have ordered residents to abandon the islands of Vamizi and Mecungo – where celebrities like Daniel Craig, Bono and Prince Albert of Monaco have holidayed in luxury.

Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and political leader Nelson Mandela have also been known to have enjoyed holidays on the picturesque island.

Burnt-out beach huts and torched safari cars were pictured on Vamizi Island….

The ISIS-linked militants also captured and occupied the port town of Mocimboa de Praia on the Mozambican mainland – telling locals that it would become their new capital, run under Islamic law.

The Cabo Delgado provence has also been ransacked and raided by the jihadists.

One man who had fled to Mecungo Island from Mocimboa da Praia said: “They arrived at night in small fishing boats. They removed people from the houses and then torched them.

“They didn’t hurt anyone, they just gave orders to leave the islands.”…

In the past year, the militants have taken credit for the brutal insurgency, naming themselves the Islamic State Central Africa Province….

      Unless we stop immediately all muslim migration into western countries and deport all muslims with a criminal record and stop the crap of not wanting to hurt their feelings , but of course that’s not going to happen because there is only one western leader who dared to stop migration from certain countries and he got immediately under so much pressure

        Once a Muslim steps foot in a nation, they claim it for Allah. No matter how many times they are removed, they always return to claim that nation or territory back.

    To be fair – there are a number; the leaders of the Visegrad 4 countries – Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Poland – plus Matteo Salvini in Italy; fingers crossed that he is returned to office soon, and that Viktor Orban of Hungary remains steadfast in telling the EU to get stuffed regarding it’s evident intention of destroying European civilisation via the UN Migration Pact.

    (How soon before Merkel and Von Der Leyen’s “European Army” is used to force open the V4s’ borders, I wonder ? – because I’m pretty damn sure they don’t want it for the purpose of PROTECTING Europe…)

      Dont worry, Germany doesnt even have the army to protect itself much less invade another country. Years ago they sold most of their tanks to Poland., most of their aircraft are unfliable and their navy isnt capable of leaving port.

    Begin with the fact that ISIS functions in complete compliance with the Model Man, one Mohammed, and you will be well on your way to figuring out what Islam is all about. Indeed, ISIS clearly points the way to Islam in all its “purity.”

    Don’t begin with this fact and, guaranteed, you will remain in ignorance mode about Islam. It’s really this simple.

    But, of course, what is so often very simple is made unnecessarily complex by that ultimate enemy of simple truths, i.e., ignorance. Apathy comes in second place here and so many times ignorance and apathy function as desultory twins.

    Islam profits from ignorance and apathy. All nefarious belief systems do, whether secular or religious.

      Put bad will in the driver’s seat. Ulitmately people are in and remain in ignorance because they do not want to learn the Truth; “They have not received the love of the Truth. Therefore God sends them the operation of error to believe lying.” – St. Paul: New Testament of the Bible.

    ……………………..

    Whenever Infidels create anything fun and attractive, pious Muslims have to destroy it. This reminds me of the destruction of the ski resort in Pakistan many years ago.

    *All* non-Muslims should exert caution in vacationing in Muslim-intensive areas.

      100% true.

      I have personally been to several “muslim intensive areas” while on active duty US Navy.

      Stay away at all costs – you will miss nothing important – and it may save your life…

        I agree, James, with both you and gravenimage. No way I am ever traveling to a Muslim country. I know enough about Islam not to make this mistake.

      Agree, James and Wellington. There are some Muslim nations I would like to visit, mostly to see pre-Islamic sites–Petra, the pyramids, Cappadocia, Roman ruins in the Mahgreb, Biblical sites in the countries surrounding Israel, etc. But I’m not going to do it–they don’t need more Infidel targets, and I’m especially not going to give Dar-al-Islam any of our hard-earned money.

    Why go to Islamic countries for vacation?? You never know when their “sudden jihad syndrome” is activated and one can lose his life if there!

    Stay away from all Islamic countries! Not worth your life!!

    I’m South African. Our military is in such bad condition that they are not capable of fighting these Islamist.
    Our police force itself is corrupt to the core.

    If we still had our military force like we had in pre 1994, the forces that fought against communism in Angola against the Chinese, Russians and Cubans then we would’ve easily beat back this insurgency.

      So the E.U could possibly pivot to support sunni expansionism; with Zimbabwe a potential next target rather than South Africa – and Arabic a second language in countries like France ? (Tunisia is majority sunni – and the Tunisian govt would appoint all teachers of Arabic in France) Who owns the gas fields in Cabo Delgado ? Isis being sunni dominated ?

    The lunacy of burning luxury hotels.Did it not occur to them to maybe just tarry for a while and enjoy the facilities?

    I know I would.

    Even allah says it is important for his jihadist muslims to take a break from all that carnage and pillaging.

    “So give respite to the disbelievers.Deal thou gently with them for a while”
    koran 86:17

    What would most people do if they had access to a recently abandond luxury Hotel:check out the bar,play some music, a bit of golf,a karoke evening?

    A free swimming pool ….and Saint Bono swam here?what a privilege!

    But that is not the islamic way:music and alcohol …and common decency are haram

    Destroy it all for ‘allah’

    Thank you, Claudia Aoraha of The Sun, for saying “imposing” Sharia Law. That is what it is: imposition by force.
    Sharia, that is, Islam, is government WITHOUT the consent of the governed.

    Deceitful Islamic speakers use, or misuse, other more anodyne neutral-sounding words to hide the fact that this is imposition by force.
    “introduce” – Imam Rauf of Ground Zero Mosque
    “implement” – Anjem Choudary
    “spread” – Tariq Ramadan
    “install” – Faisal Shahzad of Times Square failed carbomb
    “implant” – Samir Khan

    All these words disguise Impose By Force, or Inflict.

    I.S.L.A.M.
    Impose
    Sharia
    Law on
    All
    Mankind

    Imagine being a Hollywood celeb calling up trying to get another booking here. And then when they explain why you can’t .

    “oh….. right”…..

    LOL.

    But then, as soon as they put the phone down, the stupid ditzy idiots go back immediately into their dreamworld in which all Muslim terrorists and Jihadis are “made up by FOX news”…

    And they Muslims wonder why the world see them as back word. Seems like the only thing they are good at is the destruction of property and pedophile’s.
