'Wage Jihad At Home' Urge Russian Jihadists Fighting In Syria

A Russian jihadist known as Salakhuddin, who is fighting with the rebels in Syria, is urging North Caucus jihadist Muslims who are itching to join the fight to stay at home and wage war there.

 "...fight in the lowlands if you can’t go to the mountains,"or alternatively to travel to Moscow or other Russian cities to target the enemy there, or prepare to sabotage the Winter Olympics in line with Umarov’s instructions.

He points out that jihad does not necessarily involve joining a large fighting force, and that individuals or groups of up to three fighters can inflict considerable damage if they set their minds to it. In that context, he quotes Chechen field commander Shamil Basayev's observation that "modern technology enables one man to inflict irreparable damage on the infrastructure of the enemy state."

Doku Umarov has threatened violence at the 2014 Winter Olympics.  Good luck with those.

Terrorist Summer Camp For Kiddies In Gaza

As Americans ship off their children to summer camp where Joey and Sally might learn some cool things in arts and crafts, swim, hike, enjoy some campfire sing-alongs along with roasted marshmallows, Gazan parents are shipping off Ahmed and Mustafa to terrorist-run summer camps. Those lucky kiddies will get to play with live ammunition and simulate kidnapping IDF soldiers, nothing new, apparently, since they get that in school. Hamas officials expect 100,000 or so young-uns to attend.

Hamas, the Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees are all holding their own summer camp.

The Islamic group's leader in Gaza Ismail Haniyeh said the goal of the summertime activities is to instill children with values, strengthen their moral core and spread the spirit of Jihad.

Parents do have other choices.

UNHCR, UN's refugee agency, offers a summer camp centered on sports.

The agency said it expects some 150,000 children to attend its camps spread all along the coastal enclave. In previous years UNRWA's camp facilities were vandalized in protest for their instilling values incompatible with those of terror groups.

Video: Pat Condell "Muslims Must Reject Jihad"

In response to the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, Pat Condell's latest- Muslims must reject armed jihad.

As always, spot on.

Ahmadi Muslims In Pakistan Face Persecution and Violence

Interesting article on the persecution of Ahmadiyya Muslims in Pakistan. The Ahmadis are the only Muslims who have rejected "armed jihad" and have therefore been shunned by mainstream Muslims. In fact, they are not considered Muslims at all, hence the persecution and marginalization. They have also become major targets of sectarian violence not only in Pakistan but elsewhere.

One of the many religious minorities whose plight is documented in the latest U.S. State Department report on religious freedom is the Ahmadiyya community, or the Ahmadis.

The Ahmadis consider themselves Muslim, but that is a view rejected by mainstream Islamic sects. And in Pakistan, as RFE/RL correspondents Daud Khattak and Frud Bezhan report, Ahmadis have come under assault not only from extremist religious groups but also from the government.

Pakistan’s minority Ahmadi sect has become the target of rising sectarian violence, with its burial grounds, mosques, and homes coming under assault.

Authorities have done little to stem the attacks, with the government still refusing to grant the community equal status.

Video: Syrian Rebel Kids Chant "A Call To Jihad"

A very creepy video of Syrian rebel kids chanting a call to jihad. There is no indication with which rebel group they are affiliated, but one can assume they are being trained by the Islamists.

Disturbing footage of young rebel children in military uniform singing an insurgent propaganda song named 'A Call to Jihad' which amounts to a call to fight the unbelievers and those who 'don't fear Allah.' An eerie effect is created by the fact that the audio has been edited and then overlaid onto the video.

The footage underlines both the rampant abuse and militarisation of children on the part of insurgent groups as well as the Islamist extremist ideology that dominates the opposition at all levels.

It's not an isolated case. These kids are being trained to fight.

Tarek Fatah: Time To Do Away With Doctrine Of Jihad

We need more Muslims like Canadian writer and anti-jihadist Tarek Fatah. His latest commentary regarding the butchers of Woolwich is a must read. He, in essence, is calling for the modernization of Islam by renouncing the doctrine of  "jihad" in all its manifestations.

When buses and trains exploded on 7/7 in London, the objective of the suicide bombers was to sow fear and terror in the very soul of the British people.

In that the jihadis were successful.

One would have expected the British authorities to not just hunt down the terrorists, but also to fight the cancer of Islamism that lies at the ideological roots of jihadi terrorism. Instead, successive governments in London have tried to pussyfoot around the challenge, hoping the jihadi terrorists and their ideology would melt away with time as Downing Street funded so-called "moderate" Muslim groups and "former" extremists to do the government's bidding.

As the brutal hacking death of a British soldier by two fearless jihadis chanting "Allah O Akbar" has shown, this strategy has failed. Muslims who see the West as the enemy and seek its destruction have become even more emboldened by the lack of resolve, which they see as cowardice. In addition, jihadis in the U.K. are no longer restricted to the second generation Pakistani Britons; they now come from places as far apart as Chechnya and Nigeria.

While the run-of-the-mill jihadi terror attack relies on suicide bombers and remote-controlled improvised explosive devices, Wednesday's attack came straight from medieval times, with the two jihadis using knives and cleavers to hack away at the victim and then beheading him. If this was not enough, they played to the gallery, demanding they be filmed as they chatted with passers-by, proudly defending their actions and promising more attacks on non-Muslims to come.

He also blasts  mainstream Islamic voices for failing to condemn jihad, describing how some did not even bother to mention Islam in their condemnation.

While ordinary Britons and non-Muslims around the world are bewildered by these never-ending acts of terrorism, the response of the leaders of the Islamic community is the tired old cliche -- Islam is a religion of peace, and jihad is simply an "inner struggle."

The fact these terrorists are motivated by one powerful belief -- the doctrine of armed jihad against the "kuffar" (non-Muslims) -- is disingenuously denied by Islamic clerics and leaders.

Egyptian Salafist Says He Wants War With Israel, Christianity Doesn't Exist and is 9/11 Truther

Hisham Al-Ashri, Muslim Brotherhood turned Salafist and founder of the uber conservative religious group 'Commission for the Promotion of  Virtue and Prevention of Vice' in Egypt, is making waves again. This is the same man who said he would wait outside Coptic Christian Churches during their Christmas celebrations to convert them to Islam, and demanded that all Coptic women wear the veil. The same group that tried to cut the tongue off the brother of a shopkeeper- for insulting Islam- after he came to aid the shopkeeper who was being attacked for telling a "bearded man" he couldn't just barge in to use the toilet.

Al-Ashri, you see, believes that there is no such thing as Christianity. In an interview on Al-Tahrir TV he tells the host there is no such thing as Christianity, that "Jesus came to prophesy monotheism," and that Islam "is the true religion," and Muslims will be the only ones to enter paradise. He then goes on to say, "out of love for Christians, I call upon them to enter paradise with me."

Thanks but no thanks.

In the interview he also talks about how waging an official war with Israel is his life's dream, but only if it's government sanctioned.

And last but not least, Al-Ashri is a 9/11 Truther. Thanks to all the many fools out there who believe jihadists had nothing to do with the blowing up of the twin towers, Al-Ashri is conveniently promoting those theories as well:

The host has asked him about jihad and did the attack on 9/11 constitute jihad.  Al-Ashri responds:

"It depends on who did it. Jihad is only for Muslims.  They even say jihad in English, because they have no equivalent.  I call on everybody to type in google "jihad" and then click.  You will get an incredible amount of videos, documents and documentaries made by Americans, not Muslims, Arabs or people of Arab origin, proving that Islamists had nothing to do with 9/11, unless they were targeted."

Al-Qaeda In Yemen Offers Gold For Killing U.S. Ambassador and Soldiers

Libyan militants were so successful in eliminating U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi that Yemen's Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is getting into the action. Ambassador Gerald M. Feierstein is worth $160,000 in gold (3 kilograms), and any dead U.S. soldier in that country will be worth 5 million Yemeni riyals (approx. $23,00). But to hasten the event, just like a coupon, they only have 6 months to do it.

The bounties were set to "inspire and encourage our Muslim nation for jihad," the Al Qaeda statement said, according to the AP.

Washington considers Al Qaeda in Yemen to be the group's most dangerous branch.

According to the U.S. Embassy website, Feierstein was sworn in on Sept. 17, 2010, as the U.S. ambassador to Yemen. Prior to his appointment, he served as Deputy Chief of Mission in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Feierstein, who entered the Foreign Service in 1975, is a specialist in Near East and South Asian affairs. He has served overseas in Saudi Arabia, Israel, Pakistan, Tunisia, Lebanon and Oman.

Ah yes, #myjihad.

The U.S. State Department better ramp up security in Sanaa or get the Ambassador the hell out of that country.

If Israel Stops Its "Zionist Aggression", Gazans Are Ready For Ceasefire

Are the Palestinians finally tired of fighting? It seems the Gazans, including terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad, have said they are willing to lay down their arms if Israel "stops its aggression." 

“The Islamic and nationalist movement confirm that the response of the resistance depends on whether the Zionist aggression against our people is continued,” they said in a statement released at a news conference in Gaza City.

Funny, since Israeli aggression has usually been in response to the myriad of rockets Gazans regularly fire into Israeli territory.

If they truly want a ceasefire, maybe they should first stop their aggression against Israel, and while they're at it, how about changing that Hamas Charter that talks about the destruction of Israel.

Egypt apparently has been involved in trying to stop the fighting between Israel and Gaza, but Hamas and Islamic Jihad have said they would honor a ceasefire “provided Israel commits to doing the same.”

I would trust the Israelis to do their part, but in no way would I trust the Palestinians to keep their word.
