Fowl: Turkey To Send Another Jihad Flotilla To Gaza, This Time With Troops
What could possibly go wrong? Again? …

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “The people on the Mavi Marmara flotilla were genocidal Jew-hating jihadis, as you can see in the second video above: they were chanting a jihad war cry recalling Muhammad’s massacre of the Jews of Arabia: ‘Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return.’ See the photos here of their weapons.
And now Turkish troops will be accompanying a new jihad flotilla to Gaza. Will they attack Israeli troops?
‘Turkey to send another Freedom Flotilla to Gaza,’ Middle East Monitor, July 26, 2014:
The Turkish humanitarian relief organisation (IHH) is currently organising a “Freedom Flotilla II” which will carry humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip, IHH chairman Bulent Yildrim said Thursday.
In statements to Gulf Online, Yildrim said that his organisation has embarked on legal procedures and paperwork required to obtain a permit for the trip. As soon as a final permit is issued, the IHH along with other international organisations will immediately set up the convoy.
The chairman of IHH, a major organiser of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla I, said that Turkish army troops will accompany the ships to protect it from any potential attack, pointing out that his organisation demanded the government to provide protection for them as Turkish citizens.
Maze Keheil, the president of the European Campaign for Lifting the Siege on Gaza, confirmed his campaign’s intention to take part in the new flotilla, as it did in first one in 2010.
India: Influential Muslim Scholar Offers To Raise “Powerful Global Islamic Army” Of 500,000 Jihadists For Caliphate
Not necessarily for the ISIS Caliphate in Syria-Iraq, but for a Saudi-created Caliphate. But what if the Saudis, instead of creating their own, decided to support — either willingly or by force — the ISIS Caliphate instead? Or what if the Saudi’s simply declined Navdi’s generous offer? Either way, I’m sure al-Baghdadi, leader of the ISIS Caliphate, would be more than happy to take him up on it, something that Navdi would certainly consider given the fact that he has already “sent fawning greetings to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi” and even desires to see all Islamic terrorist organizations around the world unite as one global “Islamic Army.” Granted, this may get nowhere, but the fact that it’s even being seriously discussed speaks volumes regarding the degree to which such a virulent Islamist mentality has now metastasized throughout the Muslim world. And this should be a pressing concern for the rest of us …
Psalm 140:8, “Do not grant the wicked their desires, LORD; do not let their plans succeed.”
By Hasan Suroor, FirstPost – “I’m not sure if the name Maulana Syed Salman Hussaini Nadvi will ring a bell in many places. My own first reaction when I heard it was ‘Nadvi, who?’
But apparently he is a big cheese in Islamic circles. An influential theologian and author of numerous scholarly tomes in Urdu and Arabic, Nadvi is Dean of the Faculty of Shariah at Darul Uloom Nadwa, Lucknow, whose reputation as a premier institution of Islamic teaching ranks in the same class as Darul Uloom, Deoband. He is also a member of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board and Aligarh Muslim University’s court, its highest decision-making body.
So, what he says matters and carries weight. It is important to stress this because what he has done has shocked even conservative Muslims. Nadvi has written a long and passionate letter (in Arabic!) to the Saudi government offering to raise a militia of 500,000 Sunni Muslim Indian youth as his contribution to a ‘powerful global Islamic army’ he has proposed in order to fight Shia militants in Iraq and ‘help Muslims in need’ elsewhere. The army would become part of a Caliphate that he wants Saudis to set up for the Muslim ummah, the international Muslim community.
He also suggested that terrorists should not be referred to as terrorists as they were engaged in a ‘noble cause’ and called for a ‘confederation’ of all jihadi organisations so that they could transform themselves into a single ‘powerful global force’.
Earlier, Nadvi sent fawning greetings to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the notorious Sunni militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and self-appointed caliph of a sharia administration he has set up along Iraq-Syria border.
Nadvi is the only Asian theologian of to have recognised Bagdhadi’s ‘Caliphate’. But it is his offer of raising an Indian Muslim militia to fight on foreign lands which has caused a stir even in the normally complacent Muslim quarters as it comes amid mounting concern over the increasing radicalisation of young Indian Muslims who had far defied the global Islamisation trend.
Reports that four educated middle class Mumbai Muslim boys (two engineering students, one medical student, and a call centre worker) have fled the country to join jihadisfighting a vicious sectarian war in Iraq and Syria have deepened concerns about home-grown Muslim extremism and put the entire community under the scanner.” Read more.
Islamic Jihad Spokesman: Israeli Soldiers Use Arab And Palestinian Children’s Blood To Knead Dough For Bread
Proverbs 12:17, “Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit.”
Daoud Shihab, Spokesman for The Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Mayadeen TV, 7 /23/2014:
“The Israeli war against the Palestinians is nothing new. This is merely a link in a long chain of wars and aggressions that have been going on even before 1948.”
This is a blatant lie. Here’s some truth: The “Palestinian” people are a fictitious, created people who didn’t even exist prior to 1967. According to a 1977 admission by then PLO Executive Committee Member Zuheir Mohsen, “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people” (Source). In that tiny plot of land on the cost of the Mediterranean there has never been a Palestinian culture. There has never been a Palestinian language. There has never been a Palestinian history. It has always been Jewish.
“The Palestinian people has been subjected to slaughter and massacres…”
Yet again, another blatant lie. Here’s some truth: Arabs, and by extension Palestinians, have been subjected to the teachings of Islam and have made it a stated religious goal to slaughter and massacre Jews in the name of this religion. If the nations surrounding Israel were to lay down their weapons in the name of peace, there would be an immediate and lasting cessation of hostilities all across the Middle East. If Israel were to lay down their weapons in the name of peace, there would be an immediate slaughter of Jews all across Israel. Each and every war between Arabs-Palestinians — who have squandered Palestinian statehood dozens of times in favor of genocide — and the Jewish State have always been instigated by the Arabs-Palestinians, not the other way around.
“Israel is targeting the Palestinians…”
Needless to say, another blatant lie. Here’s some truth: Israel goes out of its way to avoid civilian casualties as much as possible. They drop leaflets before an operation. They call civilian cell phones to warn of an attack. They drop “knockers” on roofs warning residents to flee the area before an impending strike against a terror command center. Palestinian fighters, on the other hand, openly dream about killing as many Jewish civilians as [sub]humanly possible.
“I would just like to remind you of the ruling by the Israeli rabbis, who have instructed the soldiers to knead the (dough for) the bread that the Jews eat with the blood of Arab and Palestinian children.”
Obviously, yet another blatant lie. Here’s some truth: That false idea was borrowed from an anti-Semitic forgery published in Russia in 1903 called “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” which described how Jews allegedly planned to subjugate the world. In 1921, the publication was exposed as a false document. While Jews have no need whatsoever for the blood of Palestinian children, the Palestinians, on the other hand, love to describe the blood of their children as fertilizer with which they can use to saturate the land.
When it comes to a spokesman like Daoud Shihab whose own religion is founded upon nothing but lies and deceptions, the only facts that need apply are his own, not those that are based upon reality. For peaceful purposes …

Khaybar, Khaybar! Muslims Draw Upon Embarassing Islamic History During Protest Against Israel
Another great video by David Wood. If Muslim protesters only took the time to study their own Islamic history a little more in depth, perhaps they’d feel compelled to reconsider which “conquests” to draw upon during their protests against Israel. But then again, reconsidering anything to do with the 8th century continues to be un-Islamic, even in the 21st …
By David Wood, Answering Muslims – “Muslim rallies against Israel often include the chant, ‘Khaybar, Khaybar, Ya Yahud! Jaish Muhammad Sawfa Ya’ud!’ (‘Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews! The Army of Muhammad Will Return!’). Interestingly, Muhammad was poisoned at Khaybar, and he eventually died from the effects of the poison. Should Muslims be telling Jews to remember the battle that got their prophet killed?

Sudanese Salafi Group Endorses Islamic State’s New Caliphate
From Africa to Indonesia, support for ISIS is growing. This is good news for the Islamic Caliphate, bad news for everybody else …
Islamic Scholar Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi: “Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation that rules it. Islam requires the earth – not just a portion – but the whole planet.”
Reuters – “A Sudanese Salafi group in a statement on Thursday endorsed the Islamic State militant group that declared a caliphate after it swept through northern Iraq last month.
‘Our Brothers in the Islamic State … announcing an inclusive caliphate is a good job,’ said Sudan’s Al-Attasam belKetab wa al-Sunna, which broke from Sudan’s Muslim Brotherhood in 1991 to establish a stricter Islamist movement.
‘We announce our support to this blessed step,’ added the Salafi group, which had called for a boycott of 2010 presidential and parliamentary elections because they were based on a secular constitution.
Sudan has been led for 25 years by President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, who came to power by a coup orchestrated by senior Muslim Brotherhood members. They later abandoned him and called for more reforms and freedoms.
More than half a million Iraqis have been displaced across the country since June 10, when the north’s biggest city, Mosul, fell to Sunni insurgents who have harried Iraq’s majority Shi’ite, Christians and other religious and ethnic minorities that have co-existed for hundreds of years.” Source – Reuters.

Norwegian Intelligence Chief: Group From Syria En Route To Commit Terror In The West
Norway recently acknowledged that immigrants of Muslim descent already had a 400% higher crime rate than native Norwegians, which shouldn’t be surprising at all considering the fact that a Muslim cleric at an Islamic “Peace Conference” in Norway himself admitted that true Muslims were all “extremist” Muslims. When Western nations have already undergone a silent invasion by “soldiers of Allah” should we really be surprised when they threaten war? Norway is but one of many potential attacks against the West to come. For peaceful purposes …
Qur’an Sura 9:5, “… fight and slay the Pagans [non-Muslims] wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) …”
Hadith, Saheeh Muslim 2889, “Verily Allah has shown me the eastern and western part of the earth, and I saw the authority of my Ummah (Islamic nation) dominate all that I saw.”
FOX News – “The head analyst of Norway’s intelligence agency says a group of people is en route from Syria ‘to carry out an act of terror in the West,’ adding that Norway has been ‘concretely named’ as the target.
Jon Fitje Hoffmann spoke in a live interview with Norwegian broadcaster TV2 on Friday but didn’t elaborate further. He was not immediately available for further comment.
However, Hans-Joergen Bonnichsen, former operational head of Denmark’s intelligence agency, told the AP such information always could be disinformation because those who discuss such plans likely want others to hear.
PST said Thursday it had information about an imminent ‘concrete threat’ based on ‘reliable information.’ The threat was unspecific about what the target might be, or when or where an attack could take place.” Source – FOX News.
Flashback: American Fighters In Syria Are Coming Home — And U.S. Intelligence Can’t Find Them – “The number of American extremists who have flocked to Syria is higher than previously understood, American intelligence sources say. And some of the fighters are coming home… ‘We know where some are,’ one senior U.S. intelligence official told The Daily Beast. ‘The concern is the scale of the problem we are dealing with.’ The scale of that problem by all accounts has gotten worse. Last fall, the official U.S. estimate on Americans specifically who have joined the jihad in Syria was in the low double digits. In January, the New York Times reported that at least 70 Americans have either traveled or attempted to travel to Syria. Earlier this month FBI Director James Comey told reporters that he believed ‘dozens’ of Americans were suspected to be foreign fighters in Syria, but declined to give a more precise number.” Read more.

Flashback: EU Anti-Terror Chief: Europe Can Expect More Islamist Attacks, French Expert: Threat Is Greater Than 9/11 – “Has Europe under-estimated the security threat posed by battle-hardened homegrown Islamic militants returning from Syria? … concern mounted Monday that the region is ill-equipped to cope with the threat posed by homegrown Islamic militants returning from Syria’s battlefields… Europe can expect further ‘small-scale attacks’ like the fatal shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, the EU’s anti-terror chief Gilles de Kerchove said Monday. ‘I don’t expect another 9/11,’ he said in a video statement. ‘I don’t expect a major sophisticated attack.’ ‘I [do] expect more small-scale attacks like the one in Brussels,’ he added. Not everyone agrees. French Al-Qaeda expert Jean-Pierre Filiu believes the threat posed by groups like ISIS, for Europe, is greater than that created by the Taliban’s sheltering of Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan prior to the 2001 attacks on New York.” Read more.
Smiling ISIS Terrorists From Australia With “Bucket Full Of Heads” Vow To Slaughter Australians
Haven’t they learned yet that Islam is actually the “Religion of Peace” and not the Religion of Terrorism and Beheadings? …
Qur’an Sura 8:59a, “The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them …”
Qur’an Sura 8:12b, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”
Qur’an Sura 47:4, “So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve [non-Muslims], then smite the necks until when you have overcome them …”
Never mind …
Main Online – “With sunglasses tucked into his shirt, an Australian terrorist smiles as he holds up two decapitated heads for the camera in Syria.
Sydney born boxer Mohamed Elomar casually poses with the severed heads in photos posted on Twitter by his friend, convicted terrorist Khaled Sharrouf.

Go Israel Go: Hamas Morale Reportedly Collapsing, Terrorists Are Fleeing IDF And Abandoning Positions
Since I am all for true and lasting peace — at least as much as can be achieved — I hope that Israel does not agree to any sort of ceasefire prematurely. If they were to stop operations now it would be an eventual regression to the status quo. In the eyes of terrorists, a ceasefire — a “hudna” in Islam — is intended to be temporary only and a time to regroup and rearm for the next round of fighting. Although there will never be any truly peaceful Palestinian leadership in either Gaza or the West Bank, Israel should go all the way now while they have the upper hand and crush Hamas and its ilk, arguably the greater of two evils, from Gaza for good. This would serve as a stern warning to terrorists everywhere: Israel means business. If we are attacked, you will pay …
Update: Israel Unanimously Rejects Kerry Ceasefire Proposal
Proverbs 20:26, “A wise king sifts out the wicked, and brings the threshing wheel over them.”
By Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart – “In an otherwise excellent article on the Hamas terror tunnel network in Gaza, the Jerusalem Post buries the lede. An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier in the field told the Post that while Hamas fighters offered fierce resistance when the ground operation began, now Hamas operatives are fleeing, abandoning their positions, leaving behind weapons and other material that the IDF is using to expand its assault on the terror group.
The source added that in recent days, a recognizable wave of demoralization has washed over Hamas’s combat battalions. ‘They simply escape, leaving behind weapons and suicide bomb vests that were laid out for battle. This morning we stormed a position, and they just weren’t there. I don’t see a determined enemy. We have encountered stronger pockets of fighting in the past. But now, I would not give them a high grade for fighting spirit.’
Using further eyewitness reports, the article describes how Hamas has integrated the tunnel network into the civilian infrastructure of Gaza, constructing entrances in homes and even mosques. ‘I have not entered one civilian home that did not have weapons, suicide belts, or booby traps in it,’ the source told the Post, stressing the lengths to which the IDF goes to protect innocent civilians caught in the crossfire, regardless.
The reports of a collapse in Hamas fighters’ morale lends credence to other reports that Hamas leaders were considering a temporary truce suggested by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. The organization has insisted in the past on making a ceasefire conditional on the removal of the international blockade of Gaza, which exists to prevent Hamas from importing weapons and materials to build its terror network even further than it has.” Source – Breitbart.
Humiliation: 150 — Mostly Hamas — Surrender To IDF In Gaza – “Dozens of Palestinian terror operatives, most of whom were said to be members of Hamas, surrendered Wednesday to IDF soldiers during raids in the southern Gaza Strip cities of Rafah and Khan Yunis. The operatives, who came out of hiding spots with their hands raised above their heads, were taken into Israeli custody for further questioning. In total, 150 Palestinians were arrested, but only 70 of them who were suspected of carrying out terror attacks were transferred under tight security to IDF Intelligence and Shin Bet facilities for interrogation, an IDF spokeswoman told The Times of Israel, adding to 28 operatives already captured.” Read more.

How A Solar Storm Two Years Ago Nearly Caused A Catastrophe On Earth
God is in control …
By Jason Samenow, Washington Post – “On July 23, 2012, the sun unleashed two massive clouds of plasma that barely missed a catastrophic encounter with the Earth’s atmosphere. These plasma clouds, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), comprised a solar storm thought to be the most powerful in at least 150 years.
‘If it had hit, we would still be picking up the pieces,’ physicist Daniel Baker of the University of Colorado tells NASA.
Fortunately, the blast site of the CMEs was not directed at Earth. Had this event occurred a week earlier when the point of eruption was Earth-facing, a potentially disastrous outcome would have unfolded.
‘I have come away from our recent studies more convinced than ever that Earth and its inhabitants were incredibly fortunate that the 2012 eruption happened when it did,’ Baker tells NASA. ‘If the eruption had occurred only one week earlier, Earth would have been in the line of fire.’
A CME double whammy of this potency striking Earth would likely cripple satellite communications and could severely damage the power grid. NASA offers this sobering assessment:
Analysts believe that a direct hit … could cause widespread power blackouts, disabling everything that plugs into a wall socket. Most people wouldn’t even be able to flush their toilet because urban water supplies largely rely on electric pumps.
. . .
According to a study by the National Academy of Sciences, the total economic impact could exceed $2 trillion or 20 times greater than the costs of a Hurricane Katrina. Multi-ton transformers damaged by such a storm might take years to repair.
CWG’s Steve Tracton put it this way in his frightening overview of the risks of a severe solar storm: ‘The consequences could be devastating for commerce, transportation, agriculture and food stocks, fuel and water supplies, human health and medical facilities, national security, and daily life in general.'” Read more.
The Difference Between The Savage And The Civilized
Sometimes a picture that is worth a thousand words can leave us speechless. While Hamas is putting the lives of others in danger to protect themselves, Israelis are putting themselves in danger to protect the lives of others. This poignant photo posted on Twitter today reminds us why no nation should ever be forced to negotiate, let alone tolerate, Islamic terror. While Israel is being berated and vilified for protecting itself, every other nation in the world would be doing the same thing that Israel is doing if they were in Israel’s shoes. Or at least we should hope they’d be. “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.” Sadly, too many are failing to distinguish, either willingly or otherwise, between who is the Beast and who is the prey …
