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

Azerbaijan shells historic Armenian cathedral

Oct 10, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 16 Comments

In doing this, the attackers make it clear that they envision the conflict at least in part as a conflict between Muslims and Christians, a continuation of the 1,400-year jihad.

“Historic Armenian cathedral damaged in Karabakh shelling,” Deccan Herald, October 8, 2020:

Armenia said Thursday that Azerbaijani forces had shelled a historic cathedral in Nagorno-Karabakh’s city of Shusha, where AFP journalists saw the church had suffered serious damage.

There was a gaping hole in the roof of the Ghazanchetsots (Holy Saviour) Cathedral, an iconic site for the Armenian Apostolic Church.

Rubble was strewn about the floor, pews were knocked over and the interior was covered in dust from parts of the building’s limestone walls that had been hit. A section of its metallic roof had collapsed and fallen to the ground outside.

“Enemy Azerbaijan hit the symbol of Shushi — the Cathedral of Ghazanchetsots,” Armenian defence ministry spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan said on Telegram, using the Armenian name for the city….

      This is sickening. It was such an accurate strike I wonder if it was from a Turkish drone or F-16 fighter jet and not artillery?

        Certainly could be, Avenger. Turkey is behind these attacks.

    The jihadwatch article further shows that one very good way to describe this twenty –first century “War of Ideas” is that of a great a conflict and a clash between Christianity and Islam. As explained by the Christian author, William Wagner,, in his book which is entitled HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD had explained on page 155 about a meeting that he had with a Muslim cleric , which reads “Several years ago one Imam told me that ,prior to 1990, the greatest enemy to Islam was Communism but now it is the Christian missions.” Further, on page 208 the Wagner had written about some zealous Muslims that “They have failed to stop Christian missions. They see Christian missions as their number one enemy.” On the very next page the reader is informed that “Christianity remains the number one buffer against Islam, a fact readily recognized by those who seek a world wild ummah.” [1]

    [1] Ummah – The community of all those who affirm Islam.

      It’s not just a clash between Islam and Christianity. In this global conflict, Muslims are waging war on ALL non-Muslims, including godless heathens like myself.

      We are witnessing the early stages of World War 3, brought about by devout Muslims around the world. And our most dangerous enemies are the millions of Allah junkies living in the Western world, who are busy waging the Demographic Jihad and Stealth Jihad. They are the ones who could bring about the total destruction of free societies and the civilized world — which they WILL accomplish eventually, if they are allowed to remain here.

        The word fanatical is more suitable than devout. How quickly the mohammedan lingo has infected our own ‘ words such as jihad’ dhimmi’ ‘kaffir’ ‘allah’ qur’an’ that were unknown to us only a few years ago unless you had an interest in this disease that calls itself a religion.

        Agreed… as I’ve been saying, it may take a few decades to heat up to a shooting war, but at least in Europe it’s too late to stop it. Worse, Islam already has trojans inside every western nation in the form of migrants and enclaves. Only China seems to recognize their true purpose.

      It’s sad, Islamists have dwelt in ignorance for thousands of years, and don’t attempt to change. They thrive on hatred and destruction.. A knowledge of Christ and the Bible could change their lives dramatically.

    Jesus said of satan, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.”

    satan’s children (Jesus also said, “You are from your father, the devil, and wish to do the desire of your father. That one was a murderer when he began and did not stand fast in Truth, because Truth is no in him.’)…are carrying out the desires of satan…stealing, killing and destroying. The devil’s children are just like him.

    This is as much a fifing time as any define what Islam really is Islam may be defined as a religion of denial. Meaning that Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God. As in the Son of God Who is God the Father. Furthermore, Islam denies the Jesus is God the Son.

    In addition, Islam denies that Jesus is God. Before going over these three denials of Islam it first should the stated the Bible instructs the way to tell if a prophet or religious teacher is really from and of God or not is do the teachings and doctrines of that prophet of teacher really fit in accord what is found in the Bible ? For if that prophet or teachers and teachers doctrines that are in contradiction to the Bible then that prophet is a false prophet and that religious teacher is a false teacher and thus in doctrinal error and darkness.

    Likewise if a religion had teachings and doctrines that are in contradiction that is religion is in error also part of the world of darkness and is therefore a false religion. As the Bible instructs in Isaiah 8:20. “To the law of the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” [K.J.V.] With this clearly stated, three things should be known.

    First, that Islam denial that Jesus is the Son of God is in great contradiction to the teaching of the Bible . Which reveals the Jesus is the Son of God? As seen in ,for example Matthew 3:16,17. 16:15,16. Luke 1:35. John 3:16-18, 36. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13. Second, that Islam denies that Jesus is God the Son is in strong contradiction to the Bible. As found in Hebrews 1:6-8. With emphasis on verse 8. Third, Islam’s denial that Jesus is God is in great contrast to the doctrine and teaching of the Bible. That Jesus is God may be found in ,for example, John 1:1;3. Colossians 1:15-17. 2:9. Romans 9:5

    Second , to further discover that the Bible teachings that Jesus is God all a person has to do is to compare the Old Testament with New Testament to see that Jesus is God. As in comparing Isaiah 45:22,23. with Philippians 2:5-11. Also by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. with Mathew 8:23-27. will reveal that Jesus is God. Likewise, by comparing Psalm 62:5-7 . with First Corinthians 10:4. shows the Deity of Jesus. Even by comparing the News Testament books together will show that Jesus is God. As in comparing Romans 14:12. with John 5:22. will show Jesus to be God. The list can go on but this should be enough, for all who are willing to see the truth, that Jesus is, indeed, the Son of God. That Jesus is God the Son and that Jesus is God.

    Third, the imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain’ this all away by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted by Christians ,through time, and that’s way the Bible reads as it does. This claim, very much, underestimate the Power of God to protect and preserve His Word ,through time , and to keep in intact and away from the corruption of men. In conclusion, in light and information of the Bible in can be seen that Islam is a awful and terrible doctrinal error concerning it teaching about the Nature of Jesus and therefore Islam is part of the world of darkness. So Islam with its strong contradictions to the Bible is a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. So all dear Muslims are thus invited to leave the false religion of Islam and come the and receive the Jesus of the Bible who is the only way to heaven, John 14:6. and the True Light of the world. John 8:12.

    The young lady press secretary of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia said it best; “We will defeat and punish the criminals who threaten our existence”.
    There are about 50 tactical nukes and advanced weaponry inside Armenia to prevent another invasion/genocide by Turkey or its corrupt little stooge, Azerbaijan.

    Azerbaijan shells historic Armenian cathedral
    ………………..

    Just appalling, There is nothing strategic in targeting a Cathedral. This is all about hurting Christians,

    The attack on Armenia is not about a border dispute.
