Matt Purple- Why Bombing Syria Won't Defeat ISIS

Matt Purple, Deputy Editor of Rare Politics, has written an interesting commentary on why bombing the heck out of the Islamic State in Syria won't do a darn thing to end its reign of terror, even with France, Britain and other allies finally joining the fray.

Unfortunately he's right.

[snip]

The United States and its allies can bomb the caliphate to shreds—turn the entire desert into a glass parking lot—and it won’t defeat ISIS. 

 [snip]

There are two reasons for this.

The first is the nature of the enemy we face. For all its fearsome weapons and grisly execution videos, ISIS is just one iteration of the greater jihadist threat that’s spread with alarming alacrity across the Middle East. Want to prevent future terrorist attacks? You’ll have to weaken al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which has expanded thanks to the recent turmoil in Yemen and is determined to attack the United States. The latticework of extremist and Salafist groups in Syria will need to be picked apart. The Taliban must be re-defeated. The processing plant of Wahhabi terror that is Saudi Arabia must be confronted.

Indeed, not only is ISIS far from the sole jihadist threat in the Middle East, it’s not even the most dangerous jihadist threat in Syria. That honor goes to al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s local affiliate. Unlike ISIS, which ruthlessly stamps out dissenters, al-Nusra has proven itself a team player in the quest to take out Bashar al-Assad, working with more moderate militias and winning over beleaguered Sunnis. So effective has the group been that it’s easy to imagine it becoming integrated in post-war Syrian society, the way Hezbollah did in Lebanon. And al-Nusra shares most of ISIS’s goals: a tyrannical caliphate, suffocating Sharia.

As the Islamic State wanes, the far more cunning al-Nusra will fill the void. Bombing ISIS won’t defeat radical Islam; it could even end up empowering it.
The second reason why pummeling the Islamic State will be ineffective sounds like it was pulled from an alternative medicine textbook: bombs only attack the symptom, not the root cause. ISIS’s key resource isn’t oil, but young, angry, Sunni Muslims, many of whom grew up under the American occupation in Iraq, toiled in destitution, and are now dependent on the Islamic State for a purpose and a paycheck.

Hacktivist Group Anonymous Wages War Against ISIS, Again. #OpParis

After the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris this past January, the hacktivist group Anonymous set its sights on the Islamic jihadist perpetrators. #OpCharlieHebdo was aimed at tracking and taking down the social media accounts of all terrorists and their sympathizers including ISIS. They are apparently doubling down after the latest multiple terrorist attacks in Paris with #OpParis.

One day after the carnage, they took down over over 5,000 Twitter accounts, though I'm sure by now it's more. They've also set up websites in case you want to help.  Here's the official Twitter account for #OpParis, where they are warning that ISIS is setting up fake accounts. So beware.

They have also published the names, addresses and phone numbers of 5 ISIS recruiters living in Afghanistan, Somalia and Tunisia, and one allegedly living in Europe.

Of course, there is no way to determine how many they have really shut down, and naturally they will sprout back up like nasty weeds, but  at least ISIS is somewhat thwarted by the hackers.

Here is their latest video.

ISIS Undefeatable If It Keeps Recruiting Foreigners

Here's a sobering bit of news. According to Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi, if the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) aka Islamic State (IS) aka DAESH (the Arabic term for Islamic State) continues to recruit foreign fighters at the rate they are joining ISIS will be undefeatable. All this in spite of the fact that Iraqi troops have liberated the near-ruined city of Tikrit.

In an interview with Der Spiegel published on Saturday, Abadi said that around 57 percent of IS fighters were Iraqis but they did not cause any problems as they simply ran away when Iraqi troops entered towns. “It is the 43 percent who are foreign fighters who have been indoctrinated ideologically who have their backs up against the wall. If Daesh continues to recruit so many from other countries, then no army in our region can stand up to it.” [snip] Abadi said government security authorities needed to take action to protect young people from IS “in the same way they trace child pornography networks around the world”.

Abadi said Germany could play a key role in supporting the fight against IS as it had weapons that Iraq requires, particularly anti-explosive devices. He said Berlin should help given that hundreds of Germans were fighting for IS. German security services say about 600 German residents have joined militant groups in Syria and Iraq. Abadi said cooperation with Germany’s foreign intelligence service was very good and Iraq was providing it with the phone numbers that Germans fighting for IS use to call Germany.

Abadi said:

“They keep on recruiting people, they have huge financial resources and, honestly, a uniformed army alone cannot face it on its own.”

The rest here.

ISIS Has Arrived In Afghanistan

The Islamic State has apparently arrived in Afghanistan and the government, in denial for quite some time, is finally admitting there is a potential problem, although they are handling it before it becomes an issue.

"Islamic State or those people who call themselves Islamic State are active in some areas and our intelligence reports confirm it and we cannot deny it," Interior Ministry spokesman Siddiq Sidiqqi admitted during a February 10 interview with RFE/RL's Radio Free Afghanistan.

[snip]

But he said that national security forces were on top of the situation, offering assurances that "wherever they act we destroy them and don’t give them the opportunity to become active in Afghanistan."

They did off ex-Guantanamo prisoner/Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Rauf, who was recruiting for Islamic State in southern Afghanistan. And nabbed the Afghan spokesman for IS, Abdul Qadir Wahidi, who is now spending some time in prison. According to RFE/RL:

He said that he was arrested about two months ago by NSD officers when he appeared in Kabul for what he thought would be peace talks with government officials.

Wahidi said it was he who sent and appeared in a video to a Radio Free Afghanistan correspondent in September in which he claimed to represent a group called the Islamic Organization of Great Afghanistan, and expressed its willingness to fight for Islamic State "caliph" Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.

Many believe there is no way the Islamic State will gain foothold in a country that houses the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

Some pointed to cultural clashes that would erupt when outsiders adhering to a strict form of Wahhabism encroached on long-established tribal traditions in Afghanistan. Others asked whether disgruntled Taliban were simply saying they were allying themselves with Islamic State in order to gain street cred. And the possibility was raised that provincial officials were heightening alarm in order to attract more funding and security from Kabul.

Though there's not much difference between these groups, there are cultural differences that might not appeal to the likes of the Taliban. After all, Islamic State jihadists kill homosexuals, Taliban actually use young boys as sex slaves.  That might doom the ever popular bacha bazi entertainment- dressing up young boys in dress for dancing and sex. Islamic State might just be a tad too strict.

So it seems Islamic State fighters might have a fight on their hands. Mohammad Jan Rasulyar, deputy governor of Helmand Province had this to say:

"... the Islamic State militants, who were carrying black flags to indicate their allegiance to Al-Baghdadi's group, were clashing with white-flagged Taliban.

We consider both groups an enemy, both of them are enemies of Afghans and killing Afghans," Rasulyar said. "But, it would better for us if they would fight each other and our Afghans were spared from their evil."

That's what I was thinking. Let them duke it out and be done with it, but others think Islamic State and Taliban will iron out their differences and become a major problem if the government doesn't do something about it now.

Speaking before a gathering of Afghan clerics in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif on February 13, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Afghanistan Mohammad Mohaqiq called on the Afghan government to take serious action to counter Islamic State's activities.

Military analyst Jawed Kohistani said that, if Kabul doesn't answer the call now, it will mean trouble by as early as this summer.

"They [IS recruits in Afghanistan] will resolve their problems with the Taliban, find resources to fund their activities, and will be prepared for offensive operations," he told Radio Free Afghanistan on February 13. "If [the government] doesn't make good use of the capabilities and abilities of its military forces and doesn't pay attention to intelligence, we will be confronted with enormous problems in the future."

But Islamic State of Syria and Iraq's (ISIS) head honcho, Abu Bakr al-Baghdad, allegedly called the Taliban's head honcho, Mullah Mohammad Omar, a fool and illiterate war lord, and that ISIS has accomplished more in two years than the Taliban has in the past ten years. Them 'thar are fightin' words.

Just let them off each other, please.

Obama: Jews Killed In Paris Deli A "Bunch Of Folks" "Randomly Shot"

And I bring you the President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, who is still in major denial about the war on terror, agreeing with the interviewer (in the video below) that ".. the media sometimes overstates the sort of level of alarm people should have about terrorism and this kind of chaos as opposed to a longer term problem of climate change and epidemic disease." 

In other words, he believes we are fools to be worried about the ever growing ranks of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, and its end goal of world domination, or the likes of Boko Haram, al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab, and not Climate Change or an outbreak of Measles. Move along folks nothing here to fret over.

Then he comes up with this- the Jews murdered in the Paris deli massacre were just a bunch of folks randomly shot by a vicious zealot.

Look, the point is this: my first job is to protect the American people. It is entirely legitimate for the American people to be deeply concerned when you’ve got a bunch of violent, vicious zealots who behead people or randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris. We devote enormous resources to that, and it is right and appropriate for us to be vigilant and aggressive in trying to deal with that — the same way a big city mayor’s got to cut the crime rate down if he wants that city to thrive. But we also have to attend to a lot of other issues, and we’ve got to make sure we’re right-sizing our approach so that what we do isn’t counterproductive. 

In his own words, if you can bear to watch.



And this fool is our president.

Some Twitter reaction.

ISIS In Iraq Vows To Take Over The World

Musa Abu Yusuf Shishani from the Chechen faction of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria- Katibat al-Aqsa- has just posted a video where he promises that ISIS will take over the world. The Chechens who fought in Kobani, Syria, have moved on to Iraq.  The video was filmed in Tikrit outside of one of Saddam Hussein's palaces.

For all us "infidels and idolaters" who have "murdered, destroyed, raped and imprisoned the Muslims" [pot kettle black] he had this to say:

"We are coming for you, just like the Prophet Muhammad came for the...polytheists in Mecca. Whether it is us or those who come after us, the offensive that our caliph Ibrahim [Baghdadi] began cannot be stopped."

ISIS plans to bring:

"the religion of Allah to every home," Musa Abu Yusuf adds, saying that the militants will fly their banner everywhere, including at the "palaces of Bashar [al-Assad], the towers of Washington, and the towers of the Pentagon, in every capital, in Paris, on the Kremlin."

"Try to stop us. Send your war planes, send your artillery...but no one can stop that which was promised by Allah."

Try and tell me the fight isn't rooted in Islam.

Obama Likens ISIS Deeds To The Crusades At National Prayer Breakfast

Today was National Prayer Breakfast, and Barack Obama chose to speak about religious extremism. While doing so, he actually likened the horrific actions of ISIS today to the Christian crusades of centuries ago- glomming onto the typical liberal apologist argument that Christians were just as bad, back in the day, as today's Muslim extremists.

Well, exactly, other religions have evolved past their less than stellar past. Not so Islam. 99 percent of the violence perpetrated in the name of religion these days is Islam. And besides, the Crusades began in 1095 with the aim of regaining access to Jerusalem AFTER Muslims conquered the region that happened to be Christian prior to that. Islamic conquests continued all the way up until the Ottoman Empire, which ended not so long ago- the early 1900s.

He said:

“And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ." “In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”

What a fool!

French Ex-Soldiers Joining ISIS in Iraq and Syria

Jihadists fighting in Iraq and Syria with the Islamic State have a bunch of French ex-soldiers joining the battle. Apparently, around 12 former special forces and Foreign Legion soldiers have made the trek to Iraq and Syria.

Reports of French ex-military turning to jihad first appeared on Radio France Internationale (RFI) and in L'Opinion daily on Wednesday.

An anonymous defense ministry source later confirmed the information to AFP.

"We estimate around a dozen former troops have joined these networks," the source said. "Our concern is not former soldiers... It's preventing the phenomenon of radicalization within our forces."

Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, however, would not directly comment on the issue at a Wednesday press conference on France’s new anti-terrorism measures.


"The cases of former soldiers being tempted by jihadist adventure are extremely rare," was all he said.

And they're not all Arab/Muslim immigrants.

“Others are explosives experts, young people in their twenties. Some have been converted [to Islam], others are from Arab-Muslim culture,” the RFI report says.

The Defense Ministry is worried about radicalization within its forces, not just former soldiers.

The Defense Ministry plans to monitor its recruits as well as ex-soldiers more closely to prevent possible radicalization. The army’s 1,000-strong internal intelligence unit will get 65 extra staff for that purpose, Le Drian announced on Wednesday.

Wow.

Allah Told Boko Haram To Kill Thousands, Leader Claims In Video

In the beginning of January, while the world was focused on the Charlie Hebdo Paris massacre, an even more unimaginable Islamic terrorist massacre occurred in north eastern Nigeria. Boko Haram jihadi animals slaughtered up to 2,000 people, mostly women, children and the elderly, in a matter of a few days when they raided the town of Baga- population 10,000- and burned most of it to the ground.

Over the years, they've been  responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent people in their quest to establish an Islamic State in Nigeria. This is the same group that kidnapped 276 young girls from the Chibok Secondary School, launching the #BringOurGirlsBack hashtag. The same that murdered sleeping students in their beds.

Now the leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau, says he massacred all those people because God commanded him to. He shared that revelation in a YouTube video, and promised much more to come. The Baga massacre was just the beginning of worse to come.

”We are the ones who fought the people of Baga, and we have killed them with such a killing as he [God] commanded us in his book,” said Shekau, as Nigeria and its neighbors worked to deploy a regional force to confront the violent Islamist militia.

“This is just the beginning of the killings," he said. "What you've just witnessed is a tip of the iceberg. More deaths are coming.”

In the 35-minute video, Shekau also burned Nigeria’s flag and declared the country's constitution dead. "This will mark the end of politics and democracy in Nigeria," he said as gunmen fired automatic weapons into the air, yelling “God is great.”

Since Boko Haram has started venturing into neighbouring countries like Cameroon, there is fear among West African nations that the terror will spread. West African leaders have been mobilizing in an attempt to thwart Boko Haram. In fact, Baga was to be a joint regional military base for Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon, headquarters for 2,800 troops. This was to have commenced sometime in November, but when the Baga attack occurred in January, Niger's soldiers had already left, Chadian troops had not yet arrived, so Nigeria was left to fend for itself. That military base was overrun and Boko Haram had a field day with all the weaponry and ammunition they suddenly inherited.  Shekau said:

“Kings of Africa, you are late," he said. "I challenge you to attack me even now. I'm ready.”

Something must be done to stop these extremists from multiplying and spreading their evil across the globe.

There is a video on the Guardian UK website with snippets of Shekau's message.

Nice God they have.

Taliban Claim Victory In Afghan War

As the Afghan War officially ends, the Taliban considers it a defeat for NATO, the US and its allies.

The Taliban responded scornfully Monday to the formal end of NATO's war in Afghanistan, describing the U.S.-led mission as a "fire of barbarism and cruelty" that had drowned the country "in a pool of blood".

Barbarism and cruelty.  Projecting much?

The insurgent group issued the statement in English a day after NATO marked the closure of its combat mission with a low-key ceremony in Kabul, arranged in secret due to the threat of Taliban attack.

"We consider this step a clear indication of their defeat and disappointment," the Taliban said.

"America, its invading allies... along with all international arrogant organizations have been handed a clear-cut defeat in this lopsided war."

10,000 civilians have been killed or wounded this year, thanks to the Taliban who were responsible for 75 percent of those casualties.

NATO will remain in Afghanistan, in spite of the end of the war.

On January 1 NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) combat mission will be replaced by a "training and support" mission.

About 12,500 NATO troops will stay on in Afghanistan.

No doubt, the violence will continue until the Taliban regains full control of the country. They said as much in their statement. They plan on fighting

 "for the establishment of a pure Islamic system by expelling the remaining invading forces unconditionally" and  "continue its Jihad and struggle so long as a single foreigner remains in Afghanistan in a military uniform".

Recently elected President Ashraf Ghani will have his hands full. He claims he's open to peace talks, but the Taliban never has been in the past. They want full Islamic control of the country. They won't settle for anything less.

What a waste of American blood.

ISIS Beheads 150 Women (Some Pregnant) For Refusing To Marry Jihadis

In their quest for domination, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorists continue to leave destruction and death in their wake. The latest act of barbarism in Iraq- the beheading of over 150 women (some pregnant) in retaliation for refusing to marry the jihadis.

Islamic State militants have reportedly beheaded at least 150 women, some of them pregnant, for refusing to marry them.

Iraq's Ministry of Human Rights, in a statement released, said that the women in the western Iraqi province of Al-Anbar were attacked by the Islamic State terrorists and were later buried in mass graves in Fallujah.

"At least 150 females, including pregnant women, were executed in Fallujah by a militant named Abu Anas Al-Libi after they refused to accept jihad marriage," the statement said.

Last month, at least 50 men, women and children were executed by the IS members in a tribe massacre in the village of Ras al-Maa.

According to reports, the militants lined them up and shot them dead in public.

300 Chinese Fighting With ISIS

The Islamic State continues to recruit a multi-ethnic group of animals to join their fight in Syria and Iraq. 300 or so Chinese jihadis are allegedly fighting in Iraq and Syria. At least according to Chinese state-run newspaper the Global Times. China has its own Muslim extremist troubles in the Xinjiang region of the country, but obviously not concerned enough to join the coalition of nations fighting the Islamic State of Iraq in Syria in the Middle East.

“According to information from various sources, including security officers from Iraq’s Kurdish region, Syria and Lebanon, around 300 Chinese extremists are fighting with ISIS in Iraq and Syria,” the Global Times reported.

[snip]

Chinese members of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) are travelling to Syria via Turkey to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS, the Global Times, a tabloid run by China’s ruling Communist Party’s official newspaper, the People’s Daily, said.

The ETIM has been responsible for the violence in Xinjiang.

The rest here.

Around 300 Swedes Fighting With ISIS In Syria

It's estimated that around 300 Swedish citizens are now fighting with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and the numbers are increasing:

“A hundred cases of people who have left to join the fighting have been confirmed, then there are the presumed cases..., and then there are those that have not been counted, which brings the total to between 250 and 300,” said the head of the intelligence services, Anders Thornberg, on SR public radio.

Thornberg said the flow of youths leaving to become militants in Syria was rapidly rising.

“A certain number of young Swedish men are leaving and training in camps, learning to become terrorists to use explosives and weapons.” he said.

The fear is what happens when these radicalized jihadists return home.

There are around 3,000 European ISIS fighters.  That's a small but powerful army.

Europe should be scared.

ISIS Caliph Al-Baghdadi Calls For Saudi Supporters To Kill Shiites, Saudi Leaders and Crusaders

An audio message allegedly from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Caliph of the Islamic State (aka ISIS, ISIL), who might or might not be wounded, calls on Saudi supporters to kill the Shiites, then the House of Saud and its soldiers, and then the crusaders and their bases. In that order.

Guess we infidels have a bit of a breather.

"Tear them to pieces and kill them in droves." [snip] "And very soon, Allah willing, the vanguards of the Islamic State will reach you."

About ISIS' Child Soldier Training Camps For "Cubs of the Islamic State"

Child soldiers are considered a war crime, not that anyone who actually recruits child fighters really cares whether it's a crime or not. ISIS prides itself on its army of child jihadists fighting in Iraq and Syria. They're called the "Cubs of the Islamic State."  One such "cub" who died fighting in Syria- the Cub of Baghdadi"  had a video tribute posted to YouTube by his supporters. They have camps where they train the kids to fight.

“They teach them how to use AK-47s,” one Iraqi security official told NBC News on condition of anonymity. “They use dolls to teach them how to behead people, then they make them watch a beheading, and sometimes they force them to carry the heads in order to cast the fear away from their hearts."

Some graduates of the camps are used as human shields and suicide bombers. Other wee warriors man checkpoints, hoist heavy weapons and act as enforcers.

Beyond the additional fighting power, analysts and experts say brainwashing young recruits is a strategic move aimed at ensuring the militant group’s longevity by providing a ready-and-willing next generation of jihadis."

"It's being done for the same reasons that Hitler had the Hitler Youth," explained Charlie Winter, of the Quilliam Foundation, a London-based anti-extremist think tank. "That's effectively what we're seeing here — military training and ideological training."

Brainwashing the impressionable minds of kids, will cause irreparable damage. According to Winter:

"There's no term better suited to it than brainwashing." "These children won't have any point of reference other than jihadism so the ideology will be a lot more firm in their heads and a lot more difficult to dislodge."

These camps are located in Iraq and Syria. The training in the principles of jihad starts with:

Memorizing the Quran.
Learning about Shariah law.
Militarization- how to use weapons, make bombs, and attack.

It takes about two weeks to one month of intense training before from 40 to 60 kids graduate. Then another bunch are ready for their schooling. According to Laith Alkhouri from the global security firm Flashpoint Intelligence, it's about keeping “cycle of radicalization going.”

“In two, three, four years they’re going to be adults. By raising them up on this ideology and methodology, it becomes part of their everyday life. These kids are going to grow up, abide by and adhere to the ideology and carry out what ISIS want.”

Once they graduate, some of the kids accompany the older jihadists to the battlefield so they can get desensitized to blood and violence. From the perspective of an ISIS militant, Abu Dujana:

“They have to get used to hearing the sounds of explosions and machine guns and missiles and artillery and aircraft."“They should used to get to seeing blood.”

“The goal of these camps is not to take the cubs to the battles, but to prepare them for the battles in the future." “If some of them are taken to the battles, they stand in the back rows in order to see how to fight and hear the explosions and to see the wounded and the dead.”

And why?

 “this war will continue for a long time”

“We should start train them from now because they will complete what we started: the expansion of the Islamic caliphate."

NBC has more on ISIS's abuse of these children.

Islamic State Has Established A "Sinai Caliphate"

According to Saffad.com, the Islamic State is now on the doorstep of both Israel and Egypt and has established the "Sinai Caliphate"- calling itself the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and Egypt (ISILE).  In a statement by ISILE, they have demanded that tribes and other terrorists in the Sinai  ambush and attack the Egyptian Army and police.

Sadly all the anti-Israel, anti-Semites of the world- and there are plenty who are not even Muslim- will not care one whit that Israel is being threatened by an even deadlier force than Hamas/

Theo Padnos- Journalist's Story Of His Capture, Torture, and Release By Syria's Nusra Front

Theo Padnos is a journalist who has written about his time as a kidnap victim in Syria. It is a detailed account of his capture, torture, and eventual release by the al-Qaeda affiliate Nusra Front. It's a long but harrowing tale, and what we take away from his story is that there are no good guys in Syria. There are no "moderates" in the rebel forces. The Free Syrian Army (FSA) is untrustworthy, after all, on several occasions, they handed him over to the jihdaists Jebhat al-Nusra. And the Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are essentially one and the same.

On the problem between the two jihadist armies, who both have the same goals and penchant for violence, but who are now fighting each other, he writes:

The real issue between the Nusra Front and the Islamic State was that their commanders, former friends from Iraq, were unable to agree on how to share the revenue from the oil fields in eastern Syria that the Nusra Front had conquered. On the one hand, I was pleased by this. It made the men despise each other. Had their armies reconciled, I would have become the prisoner of a reunited fundamentalist organization under the command of the stronger of the leaders, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State. 

On the goals of the Islamists to export jihad to Western nations, and establish Islamic emirates, he writes:

Over the last 22 months, I had stopped being surprised when Nusra Front commanders introduced their 8-year-old sons to me by saying, “He will be a suicide martyr someday, by the will of God.” The children participated in the torture sessions. Around the prisons, they wore large pouches with red wires sticking out of them — apparently suicide belts — and sang their “destroy the Jews, death to America” anthems in the hallways. It would be a mistake to assume that only Syrians are educating their children in this manner. The Nusra Front higher-ups were inviting Westerners to the jihad in Syria not so much because they needed more foot soldiers — they didn’t — but because they want to teach the Westerners to take the struggle into every neighborhood and subway station back home. They want these Westerners to train their 8-year-olds to do the same. Over time, they said, the jihadists would carve mini-Islamic emirates out of the Western countries, as the Islamic State had done in Syria and Iraq. There, Western Muslims would at last live with dignity, under a true Quranic dispensation.

The rest here. Worth a read.

I hope the world is taking note.

Video- The Rise and Threat Of ISIS

A Canadian Sun News in-depth video report on the rise of ISIS, and the pose it threats globally.

Marseille, France, No Longer European

The photo below looks like it might have been taken in some French Arab city, but apparently it was taken in Marseille. France. A city that has supposedly been taken over by Muslim immigrants.

Orianna Fallaci, who wrote a book titled The Force of Reason,  uses Marseille as an example of what happens when non-Westernized Muslims take over a city. According to Fallaci, Marseille is:

 "no longer a French city, it is a Maghrebin city".

Enza Ferreri, a London-based Italian journalist, discusses the book.

Arabic ​is the first language spoken in Marseille, and French only the second.

95% of the students in the city's Collège Edgar Quinet are now Muslims.

No wonder Gaddafi once said in a speech that there was no need to invade Europe because in 20 years Europe would be Muslim.

Europe, with its political fear, spiritual decadence and weakness, and obsequiousness towards Islam, is the first battleground for Muslims in their quest to conquer and subjugate the world.
