MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Because beheading is, after all, the modus operandi of those who follow and worship Mohammed …

Update 9/2: Second US journalist, Steven Sotloff, has been beheaded …

Revelation 6:8, “And I looked, and behold a [chlōros – green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

FOX News – “The U.S. intelligence community has confirmed the authenticity of a video showing Islamic State extremists beheading American journalist James Foley, as military analysts and U.S. lawmakers say the execution should be a wake-up call to the need to dismantle the militant organization.

President Obama, currently in Martha’s Vineyard, plans to make a statement at 12:45 p.m. ET.

The remarks come after the White House National Security Council released a brief statement saying the intelligence community reviewed the video and has ‘reached the judgment that this video is authentic.’

The beheading marks the first time the Islamic State — also known as ISIS, or ISIL — has killed an American citizen since the Syrian conflict broke out in March 2011, upping the stakes in an increasingly chaotic and multilayered war.

‘America got a glimpse of exactly who they are,’ House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., told Fox News on Wednesday. ‘This is a group you need to deal with.’

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., called the ‘brutal execution’ of a hostage ‘the clearest indication to date that ISIL has declared war on the United States.’

The militants in the video railed against U.S. airstrikes in Iraq and threatened to kill a second American journalist, depending on Obama’s ‘next decision’ – an apparent reference to U.S. military policy in the region.

The video puts pressure on the White House to weigh the risks of ramping up airstrikes in Iraq targeting the Islamic State, and the possibility that militants could kill more Americans in response.

But in an indication that the U.S. response is not changing, a U.S. official said …” Read more.

ISIS EID Al-Fitr Sermon from Al-Raqqa, Syria, 7/29/2014: “In the month of Ramadan this year, the whole world has witnessed the greatest events in contemporary history: The caliphate has been declared, and the Muslims have been appointed a caliph, who would preserve the religion of guide this world, in accordance with the law of Allah and His religion. This was the fulfillment of the promise of the Prophet: ‘A caliphate will be established on the prophetic path.’ In this blessed month, the borders of the nation states, which had divided the Muslims, were shattered after decades of dispersal and disintegration. In this blessed month, Allah enabled His Muslim monotheistic mujahideen to conquer countries and lands, and to liberate military based, airports, and headquarters of large units. All this was achieved by the grace of Allah… Say: ‘We pledge allegiance to the Emir of the Believers… Abu Bakr…” Watch video.

By Jin Tulia, China Topix – “Fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) threatened to attack the United States everywhere if U.S. security forces continue to launch air strikes against its militants, Reuters reported.

The terrorist group that seized large areas of Iraq posted a video that showed an image of an American executed during the initial war in Iraq with a written statement saying ‘we will drown all of you in blood’, some reports said.

According to Reuters, ISIS also warned the U.S. that it will wipe them off the map if any of its militants are killed as they escalate air strikes against U.S. targets.

ISIS’s latest threat was released on the same day President Barack Obama held a press conference from the White House, reports confirmed.

Obama said that U.S security forces aid both Iraqi and Kurdish troops to reclaim the Mosul Dam that the militants seized. The U.S. military would continue to conduct air strikes and provide humanitarian support to the war victims, he added.

According to some reports, this is not the first time ISIS warned to attack the United States. Militants continuously berated the U.S. and said they will humiliate their security forces everywhere and will raise the flag of Allah in the white house.” Read more.

Flashback: ISIS Caliphate To Hamas: Before We Support Your Fight Against Israel, We Must Attack America First – “The Islamic State, or ISIS, has responded to critics who have questioned why its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is not actively supporting Hamas in fighting Israel… In a statement a spokesperson for the group, Nidal Nuseiri reaffirmed that conquering ‘Bayt el-Maqdis’ (Jerusalem) and destroying the State of Israel is central to the group’s ‘jihad’, or holy war. However, he pointed out that ISIS has been taking a systematic approach in its campaign, and outlined six specific stages it said needed to be fulfilled before taking on Israel. Some of those ‘stages’ – building a firm base for an Islamic state in Iraq, and using it as a springboard to wage war in Syria and Lebanon – have already been achieved. But he said a number of other criteria still needed to be fulfilled before challenging Israel directly. Among them, Nuseiri said that the US – seen as Israel’s greatest ally – needed to be weakened politically and economically via attacks on the American mainland …” Read more.

New York Post – “The Islamic State militant group has executed 700 members of a tribe it has been battling in eastern Syria during the past two weeks, the majority of them civilians, a human rights monitoring group and activists said on Saturday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has tracked violence on all sides of the three-year-old conflict, said reliable sources reported beheadings were used to execute many of the al-Sheitaat tribe, which is from Deir al-Zor province.

The conflict between Islamic State and the al-Sheitaat tribe, who number about 70,000, flared after the militants took over two oil fields in July.

‘Those who were executed are all al-Sheitaat,’ Observatory director Rami Abdelrahman said by telephone from Britain. ‘Some were arrested, judged and killed.’

Reuters cannot independently verify reports from Syria due to security conditions and reporting restrictions.

Proclaiming a ‘caliphate’ straddling parts of Iraq and Syria, Islamic State has swept across northern Iraq in recent weeks, pushing back Kurdish regional forces and driving tens of thousands of Muslims, Christians and members of the Yazidi religious minority from their homes, prompting the first U.S. air strikes in Iraq since the withdrawal of American troops in 2011.

The insurgents are also tightening their grip in Syria, of which they now control roughly a third, mostly rural areas in the north and east.

An activist in Deir al-Zor who spoke on condition of anonymity told Reuters that 300 men were executed in one day in the town of Ghraneij, one of the three main towns of the al-Sheitaat tribal heartland, when Islamic State stormed the town earlier this week.” Read more.

He said that the Sunni extremists are committing genocide against Christians in Iraq and with the aim to instill the Sharia Law as the law of the land. In the interview with CNN’s Jonathan Mann, Chaldean-American businessman Mark Arabo said that the ‘world hasn’t seen an evil like this for generations.’ ‘There is a park in Mosul, where [ISIS] they actually beheaded children and put their heads on a stick and have them in the park,’ he explained. ‘More children are getting beheaded, mothers are …” Read more.

By Ammar Cheikh Omar, NBC News – “After two years of fighting alongside al Qaeda-backed militants in Syria, Abu Saif thought he was done with jihad and ready to return to his ‘normal’ life as a chef in Belgium. But everything changed when Sunni militants swept through northern Iraq and brought their brand of holy war to a global audience.

The 31-year-old cut ties with his old fighting force and put in with the rival Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), setting out for the militants’ stronghold of Raqqa and then, he hopes, on to Iraq.

‘Fighting against the Americans and the Shiites is one of my biggest wishes,’ Abu Saif, 31, told NBC News. ‘I would go straight to paradise.’

For a long time, Abu Saif’s life was more about kitchens than gunbattles. The Belgium-born restaurant cook said all of that changed two years ago when he saw a video on YouTube purporting to show Syrian soldiers massacring children. He told NBC News that he felt compelled as a Muslim to leave his life in Belgium behind and fight against atrocities in Syria.

Joined by his younger brother Soufian Alilou, Abu Saif flew to Turkey and later crossed the border into Syria. When they reached Aleppo, the brothers sought out a strong Islamist fighting group to join. Jabhat al-Nusra fit the bill.

The al Qaeda-backed group was waging war against the soldiers loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad. Al-Nusra also had long been at loggerheads with ISIS, clashing violently with fighters from the rival militant group.

The brothers from Belgium took up arms with al-Nusra, battling Assad’s soldiers on the streets of Aleppo and Idlib. All around them, Abu Saif said, were foreigners who like him had abandoned everything to come fight a holy war – a phenomenon that has Western counterterrorism officials in a tizzy.

‘I saw fighters from all around the world,’ he said. Abu Saif told NBC that his 70-strong fighting force was mostly made up of French and Belgian fighters – but ‘many brothers,’ too, came from America, the U.K. and Canada.” Read more.

Inquisitr – “ISIS, also known as the Islamic State, has taken somewhat of a pounding in Iraq recently at the hands of the laser guided missile strikes on their positions in the region, ordered by Barack Obama. However, according to intelligence reports on Saturday, ISIS is not just going to let the U.S. strikes against them go unnoticed or unpunished. Five intelligence officials told Bloomberg News some worrying things about ISIS and its strategy. They alleged that the fanatical Islamist terrorist group is planning to carry out major terror attacks against targets in the United States, and possibly in Europe. According to the intelligence officials, ISIS has sleeper cells around the world, including in Europe and America, whose goal is to gain a greater foothold in the Islamic world, politically and militarily. U.S. Army Colonel Derek Harvey said that due to Obama’s failed policy in leaving Iraq, the country is now gripped in a ‘competition for jihadi leadership’ between ISIS and Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri, following the falling out between the two groups last year. The Colonel also claimed that President Obama has seriously underestimated ISIS’ hold in Syria in Iraq, as well as what they are capable of in terms of 9/11 type atrocity on mainland America. The issue with ISIS, as with any terror organisation of their kind like Al-Qaeda or Hamas, is the fact that they hold influence worldwide and not just in the Middle East. There are numerous examples of foreign nationals from France, U.K., Germany and the U.S., who are currently fighting with ISIS in Iraq and Syria who will presumably return to their home countries even more radicalized. Brett McGurk, the deputy assistant US Secretary of State for Iran and Iraq, warned on the Charlie Rose show last week that ISIS are far worse than Al Qaeda:

“ISIS is better equipped, they’re better manned, they’re better resourced, they’re better fighters, they’re better trained than the Al Qaeda in Iraq that our forces faced. It is a global expansionist, global jihadist organization. It is swollen with foreign fighters and suicide bombers who will go wherever the organization tells them to go. And that could very easily be capitals in the region, it could be capitals in Europe and, God forbid, it could be here.”

The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, also weighed in with an article in the Sunday Telegraph addressing the current ISIS threat:

“If we do not act to stem the onslaught of this exceptionally dangerous terrorist movement, it will only grow stronger until it can target us on the streets of Britain. I agree that we should avoid sending armies to fight or occupy, but we need to recognize that the brighter future we long for requires a long-term plan.”

The reports of a possible terror attack in the United States come after reports in the last few days that ISIS slaughtered more than 400 Yazidis in Iraq and more than 700 tribes people in Syria.” Read more.

By Anthony Kimery, HS Today – “Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) expressed solidarity with jihadists in Iraq — pledging to kill as many Americans as possible — and called on all Islamic jihadist organizations and Muslims everywhere to do the same, especially in the United States.

In an August 14 communiqué, AQAP said the US is leading a war against Muslims and that Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Al Zawahiri ‘always advised to crush the head of the American serpent, in order to make it easier to eliminate its agents, the leaders of the Muslim countries.’

In its message, AQAP assured jihadists fighting with the Islamic State in Iraq that experience teaches that airstrikes ‘cannot defeat those who place their trust in Allah,’ and that jihad continues from generation to generation.

‘It should be noted that this communiqué, like the August 12, video by AQAP’s mufti, Sheikh Ibrahim Al Rubaish, indicates AQAP support for the IS (though this organization is not mentioned by name),’ said the Middle East Media Research Institute which monitors jihadist websites. ‘At the same time, here too the organization is careful to maintain a balance between the IS and Al Qaeda by mentioning Al Qaeda leaders bin Laden and Al Zawahiri as sources of authority and guiding lights.’

The following are excerpts from the communiqué, posted on the jihadi website alplatformmedia.com.

‘The Muslim ummah is currently suffering a series of grave events. It is facing difficult challenges and [dangerous] conspiracies… The war of the infidel nations against Islam is constant … At the present time, the leader of [this] war is the US, who has borne the banner and raised the Cross and has done everything in its power to weaken Islam and humiliate the Muslims. It is putting everything it has into this war and spilling the blood of Muslims.

‘The [US’s] latest action was to launch drones against our Muslim brethren in Iraq, with groundless and stupid excuses. We ask: Why didn’t the US try to save hundreds of thousands of Sunnis when Al-Maliki hurled barrel bombs into Falluja, Diyala and Mosul? Where were Obama’s human feelings and moral considerations when Al-Maliki’s Shi’ite government committed aggression against [Iraq’s] Sunnis, spilled their blood and harmed their honor for all to see? It’s no surprise [that the US did not intervene to help them]. The Muslims have not forgotten and will not soon forget the crimes that the US and its army committed in Iraq at the time of the [US] occupation … It is the policy of the lying and hypocritical US-led West to protect infidel sects against the Muslims and to apply a double standard vis-a-vis the nations. The Jews’ aggression against Gaza [is considered] self-defense, [but] the mujahideen’s advance in Iraq is a dangerous attack on the rights of minorities; jihad against the US and its allies in the West and East is terrorism and violence, whereas infidels attacking, persecuting and killing Muslims is noble and honorable [activity] that enjoys international support and assistance.

‘Obama’s declaration of war on the Muslims in Iraq, and his subsequent airstrikes on the mujahideen, prove that the Zionist-Crusader enemy is still the most dangerous enemy of the Muslim ummah. [This enemy] sometimes goes into hiding, but when its agents [in the region] are too defeated or weak to do its bidding according to its will, it is compelled to act in the open in order to protect its interests, which [involve] robbing the Muslim peoples … That is why Sheikh Osama [bin Laden] and after him [Ayman] Al-Zawahiri always advised to crush the head of the American serpent, in order to make it easier to eliminate its agents, the leaders of the Muslim countries.

‘Hence, we declare our solidarity with our Muslim brethren in Iraq in [their struggle against] this Crusade. Their blood is our blood, their wound is in our hearts, and we have a duty to defend them. With Allah’s help, we will employ every means to cause the US as many casualties as possible, as part of jihad for the sake of Allah and in order to realize what our Sheikh Osama [bin Laden] vowed [to achieve].'” Read more.

By Bill Kaufmann,Canoe.ca – “Multiple reports state a Calgarian who volunteered to fight with the extremist Islamic army ISIS has been killed in Iraq.

Farah Mohamed Shirdon, who comes from a prominent Calgary Somali family, has been reported dead on various social media sites, though no cause of his death have been given.

If true, Shirdon would be the third Calgarian known to have been killed in recent months while serving with Jihadist forces in Syria and Iraq.

Canadian foreign affairs officials say they’re checking the reports of the death of Shirdon, a man in his early 20s who’d taken the name Shaheed while fighting in both Syria and Iraq.

On a Twitter feed attributed to him, Shirdon wrote on June 23: ‘Martyrdom is what I seek’ and on July 10, he posted an entry directed at his ‘dear mother.’

‘I have sold my soul for the sake of Allah. We may never meet again in this life but Allah willing, Allah will reunite us in (heaven).’

Other posts describe the fighting during the ISIS advance throughout the region.

Last April, Shirdon was seen in an ISIS video burning his Canadian passport with comrades armed with AK-47 assault rifles, while shouting threats against Canada and the West.

‘We are coming and will destroy you… this is a message for Canada and for all America,’ he said to the camera.” Source – Canoe.ca.
