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

Al-Qaeda urges Muslims to give out poisoned masks and kill ‘Crusaders who are hostile and belligerent towards Islam’

Dec 3, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 29 Comments

Al-Qaeda speaks of killing “unbelievers,” especially those who are “hostile and belligerent towards Islam.” Don’t they know that their ideology has nothing to do with Islam? Why doesn’t Sajid Javid publish an explanation, based on the Qur’an and Sunnah, of how their ideology is a twisted version of Islam? This explanation could be used to dissuade young Muslims from joining al-Qaeda and help keep them in the true, peaceful Islam. How about it, Sajid?

“Article In New Pro-Al-Qaeda Magazine Urges ‘Lone Wolves’ In The West To Exploit Coronavirus Pandemic By Handing Out Poisoned Masks, Burning Cars Of ‘Crusaders,'” MEMRI, December 1, 2020:

On November 26, 2020 the pro-Al-Qaeda media outlet Jaysh Al-Malahem Al-Electroni released the first issue of a new magazine called Wolves of Manhattan, aimed at “instructing jihadis who live among the unbelievers” to carry out various kinds of attacks.[1] The issue, titled “Defeaters of the Cross” and posted on the group’s Telegram and Twitter accounts, included an Arabic-language article offering ways to exploit the coronavirus pandemic by handing out poisoned masks to passersby or burning the cars of “Crusaders” on the streets.

The article, titled “Ways And Means Of Exploiting the Corona Pandemic Against The Powers Of Global Unbelief,” began by reminding lone wolves living in the West that the pandemic offered them many opportunities that they should not miss.

The article urged mujahideen lone wolves to use masks for killing, plundering, and spreading terror. It reminded them that masks will help them avert surveillance cameras, which in the past were a significant impediment to lone wolf attacks and led to the arrest of many mujahideen. The article noted that since people are required to wear masks during the pandemic, Allah’s “soldiers” should seize the opportunity and wear masks and gloves to carry out attacks without arousing suspicion.

“Remember to support your religion, retaliate for your brothers in the beloved Palestine, and fulfill the promise of your imam Osama [bin Laden] that the Crusaders will never dream of security unless we have it in reality in Palestine.”

The article listed five methods to use for various types of attacks. These included “killing with bladed weapons (a knife or something similar); killing by striking with stones or heavy weights (above the neck); killing with firearms; setting off explosions with handmade bombs (Molotov cocktails); setting stores and companies ablaze.”

The article also urged lone wolves not to be limited to these ideas, reminding them that the “Manhattan raids” [the September 11 terrorist attacks] benefited from numerous previous operations: “Do not think that the aforementioned is your only way to perform jihad.”

Offering additional examples of attacks, the article urged lone wolves to use poisoned masks to kill the “Crusaders.” It also called on “the wolves of Islam” to hand out poisoned masks in streets or ‘stations” and reminded them not to wear any clothing that could arouse suspicion or to insist that passersby take the masks.

The article then asked the “soldiers of Islam” not to limit themselves to this idea, noting that there are dozens of methods and ideas they can exploit during the pandemic.

The article stated that “your target is every Crusader, since every Crusader is a criminal. The greatest crime which he committed is his unbelief in Allah.” It offered a list of key targets, including retired officers and intelligence officials, soldiers and policemen, businessmen who pay hefty taxes to “Crusader governments,” “Crusaders who are hostile and belligerent towards Islam in their speeches,” and “Crusaders in general who are collaborating by paying taxes.”

The article concluded by urging lone wolves to burn “the cars of the Crusaders” using lighters, matches, and two liters of oil, since streets are empty because of the pandemic as per the list of key targets. The article reminded the lone wolves to wear masks and extra clothing that can be easily removed and thrown away in a remote place, far from surveillance cameras.

    There is no low to which moslems will not stoop, no terrible situation they will not use in order to create an even greater evil.
    This is just one reason they are hated and unwanted.

    Giving out poisoned masks would be redundant at this point. The allies of the wolves and slaves of Allah amongst the Globalists and the rest of the Left have already poisoned our lives with the damn things along with the rest of the WuFluManchu plandemic.

      In NYC the mayor has people paid to hand mask out for free in hubs off mass transit. In the Staten Island Ferry terminal one of these paid mask providers was a female in full Moslem grab, I would refuse to take anything from someone in that kind of outfit ,but what if someone is a Jihadist in plain western clothing hand out masked that are tainted ?Beware of Moslems providing any kind of health services too many of them are wolves in sheep,s clothing.

        Since many Muslims in the U.S. wear the same type of clothing as Christians how do they distinguish between those who should be given a poison mask and those who should not? Do they just assume that a white person is not a Muslim? If so, would that not make them RACISTS? Oh yeah, it would and they are.

      revereridesagain, whatever your views of masks and their efficacy or lack of same, the idea that handing out poisoned masks makes no difference is mistaken. These Jihadists are also planning on shooting, stabbing, bombing, and clubbing Infidels–is that redundant as well?

    …………………………

    There is *nothing* that Jihadists won’t exploit. We’ve had charitable people here making and handing out masks for people who might have trouble affording them. These are the good people who these Muslim thugs want to hide behind.

    Then, note that while mass slaughtering innocent people is not considered a crime, that merely not believing in this savagery *is*, so far as these pious Muslims are concerned.

    Also note the claim that this bloody barbarism means “supporting your religion”.

    God, I hate Islam.

        No the current problem is being caused by the movers and shakers of the New World Order.

        Doctors that I know say the flu is now upon us. The deer hunt is over where I live, not one person in 100 miles of where I live has died from COVID, but there were a lot of COVID / shot dead deer much to chagrin.

        Learn to walk with your right arm up in the air, fall in line, do the COVID step.

        The vaccine is coming, you can be the first in line like a good little person. Good luck with that and remember how great a sell job doctors did with Thalidomide.

          OK. So I guess it’s safe to say you won’t be taking a COVID vaccine when it becomes available. One more for the rest of us.
          Are you suggesting that the New World Order controlled the whole Thalidomide thing?

          CES
          The two U.S. developed vaccines “seem” to be safe enough, at least in the short term, or problems would have shown up in the tests. But, yes I’m concerned about that too. It’s easy for me to say because once it’s my turn for the vaccine all will have been revealed.
          What I do know for sure is not to listen to cockamamie conspiracy theories.

          E T–with all respect–are you glad that people are no longer dying from Polio and Smallpox? You have vaccines to thank for that. Your implication that all vaccines and medications are harmful is mistaken.

        No no I live hundreds of miles North, but it is wonderful you know so much. Thalidomide was the wonder drug doctors pushed was what I was saying. Thousands of disfigured babies were born from that BIG mistake.

        How many people die every year from TB why have we not been wearing masks? Read the Zoe report you may never come out from your house again.

        When you go to a small store and the doors are locked what is that? When you go to church and the doors are locked, what is that? Please let me know where there is a church open in Canada.

        How many years of medical training do you have? Your are a specialist in what?

    GI I do not believe all vaccines are evil. My father’s sister died of measles and I appreciate that millions have been save by the measles shot.

    The Gates foundation has done a lot of testing with terrible outcome for the children of Africa.

    Unfortunately I developed allergies later in life.

    I had a flu shot in the 90s and within 20 minutes I was shaking and sick for 2 weeks – bad reaction I was told. I have not had one since nor have I had the flu. We all have different reactions.

    My own children always had all their shots. I am not an anti-vaccine person.

    What you do with your body is your business. Family members have had the shingles shot, an old friend had it and 12 hours later was in the hospital paralyzed. Three months later he had some movement in his legs. After one year in the hospital he has learned to walk with canes. He was told he had a rare reaction!

    Keep on the sunny side and stay safe.

      E.T.
      What you do with your own body is certainly your business. However you have no right to transmit a deadly virus to me and others because you are too selfish to do a simple thing like wear a mask. If you wish to risk dying go right ahead but you have no right to take others with you.
      The science is pretty clear but, even if you don’t believe it, go along with it anyway — you won’t be making much of a sacrifice, if any at all.
