They’ve united for peaceful purposes. But, like the Islamic kingdom itself, they’ll still remain divided. For peaceful purposes …

Flashback: Syria: ‘Moderate’ Rebel And Islamist Groups Sign Pact Of ‘Non-Aggression’ With ISIS

Or, In This Case, Sunni Terrorist Group A vs Sunni Terrorist Group B

By Deb Riechmann, Associated Press – “Militant leaders from the Islamic State group and al-Qaida gathered at a farm house in northern Syria last week and agreed on a plan to stop fighting each other and work together against their opponents, a high-level Syrian opposition official and a rebel commander have told The Associated Press.

Such an accord could present new difficulties for Washington’s strategy against the IS group. While warplanes from a U.S.-led coalition strike militants from the air, the Obama administration has counted on arming ‘moderate’ rebel factions to push them back on the ground. Those rebels, already considered relatively weak and disorganized, would face far stronger opposition if the two heavy-hitting militant groups now are working together.

IS – the group that has seized nearly a third of Syria and Iraq with a campaign of brutality and beheadings this year – and al-Qaida’s affiliate in Syria, known as the Nusra Front, have fought each other bitterly for more than a year to dominate the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The Associated Press reported late last month on signs that the two groups appear to have curtailed their feud with informal local truces. Their new agreement, according to the sources in rebel groups opposed to both IS and Nusra Front, would involve a promise to stop fighting and team up in attacks in some areas of northern Syria.

Cooperation, however, would fall short of unifying the rival groups, and experts believe any pact between the two sides could easily unravel. U.S. intelligence officials have been watching the groups closely and say a full merger is not expected soon – if ever. A U.S. official with access to intelligence about Syria said the American intelligence community has not seen any indications of a shift in the two groups’ strategy, but added that he could not rule out tactical deals on the ground. The official insisted on anonymity because he said he was not authorized to speak publicly about the subject.

According to a Syrian opposition official speaking in Turkey, the meeting took place Nov. 2 in the town of Atareb, west of Aleppo, starting at around midnight and lasting until 4 a.m. The official said the meeting was closely followed by members of his movement, and he is certain that an agreement was reached. The official said about seven top militant leaders attended.” Read more.

Zechariah 12:2-3, “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

Declaring the end from the beginning, the Bible is proving itself to be more than just human in origin every day. According to the article below it may be largely “business as usual” in west Jerusalem right now, but in the Old City of east Jerusalem — which was built around 1000 BC and was the entire city of Jerusalem up until 1860 where the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and al Aqsa Mosque all reside — we’re seeing an entirely different situation develop. Jews, Christians and Muslims all reside within the Old City, but Muslims — increasingly “radicalized” and lawless — now make up the overwhelming number of residents. And this, my friends, is prophetic. According to Zechariah 14:1-3, the world will one day witness an “intifada” unlike any other, an uprising that could be sparked by a triggering event to rouse the Muslim population to obligatory jihad, possibly strengthened by other Islamist elements coming from or through the West Bank to take over much of east Jerusalem. The homes of Jews and Christians will be plundered, non-Muslim women will be raped as the “spoils of war.” And as that day approaches, let us not sleep as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For while the Islamic world continues to surround Israel, we know what, and we know Who, is coming …

Al Rod Al Anf, Volume 2, Page 182: “You see [our god Allah] will soon make you inherit their land, their treasures and make you sleep with [rape] their women.” – The “prophet” Mohammed

Zechariah 14:1-4a, “Behold, a day is coming for the LORD, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives …”

By Daphne Rousseau, AFP – “Rocked by weeks of deadly violence, Jerusalem is witnessing security measures not seen in years as residents try to maintain some semblance of normal life while awaiting the next attack.

Raheli, who is eight months pregnant, recently stopped travelling on the city’s light railway system, which she dubs ‘the train of fear’, after deadly attacks at roadside stops by lone Palestinians.

‘The last time I took it I stayed pressed against the back wall of the train stop,’ she says. ‘I had images in my head of a car ramming in to us or an explosion. It’s too stressful, I would rather walk.’

Earlier this month a Palestinian from east Jerusalem deliberately rammed his car into two groups of pedestrians, killing a border police officer and wounding another nine people, the second deadly car attack in two weeks.

Twin knife attacks outside Jerusalem this week killed an Israeli soldier and a young woman and wounded two others as simmering violence spread across Israel and the occupied West Bank.

In annexed east Jerusalem, Israeli passengers now get off the train and take the bus in a bid to avoid the hail of stones from Palestinian protesters that is becoming a daily occurrence.

Yoni, on his way to the Hebrew University, barely looks up from his book as he makes his way through the hotspot.

‘That is what the Palestinians want. They want us to live in fear,’ he says.

In west Jerusalem, in contrast to the darkest days of the second Palestinian intifada of 2000-2005, cafes, shops and restaurants carry on with business as usual.” Read more.

NBC News – “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of extremist group ISIS, called on his supporters to ‘erupt volcanoes of jihad’ in an apparent new audio message released Thursday. The recording, which appeared to be genuine according to Flashpoint Intelligence, a global security firm and NBC News counterterrorism consultancy, came days after speculation that Baghdadi had been wounded in an airstrike in Iraq.

‘O soldiers of the Islamic State, continue to harvest the soldiers,’ the recording said. ‘Erupt volcanoes of jihad everywhere. Light the Earth with fire.’ The extremist leader claimed the bombing campaign against ISIS in Syria and Iraq is failing, saying: ‘America and its allies are terrified, weak, and powerless.’

He also said ISIS fighters would not ‘never abandon fighting,’ adding: ‘They will be triumphant, even if only one man of them is left.’

The message, shared on jihadist web sites, appeared to have been recorded recently and included a reference to Egyptian militant group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which pledged allegiance to Baghdadi on Monday.

Baghdadi called for attacks in Saudi Arabia, said his self-declared caliphate was expanding across the Arab world.

The United States has not confirmed that Baghdadi, who has led ISIS since 2010, was wounded in any airstrike, as claimed by Iraq’s defense and interior ministries on Sunday.” Source – NBC News.

Islamic State Spokesman Confirms ISIS Leader Wounded In Airstrike – “Abu Muhammad Al-Adnani, believed to be a spokesman for the Islamic State terror group, confirmed Sunday that Baghdadi was injured by a US airstrike, writing on Twitter: ‘Perhaps you suspected that the Caliphate ended with martyrdom of the Caliph. I assure the [Islamic] nation that the Emir Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is well thank god, and I wish him a speedy recovery.’ … Colonel Patrick Ryder, a Central Command spokesman, said the US military had reason to believe that the convoy of 10 vehicles was carrying leaders of Islamic State, an al-Qaida offshoot which controls large chunks of Iraq and Syria. The convoy consisted of 10 Islamic State armed trucks.” Read more.

No word on whether this was a Christian family or not, but the great and merciful “Allah” must have been so proud of these infidel-eliminating emissaries …

Beasts Of The Earth

By Jack Moore, International Business Times – “A former Islamic State [IS] bodyguard of a notorious militant has revealed the depravity of the group’s actions in their battle to expand their self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq and Syria.

The bodyguard of Saddam Jamal, named only as Abu Abdullah, told The Daily Telegraph about his time guarding Jamal in an exclusive interview.

The IS militant was formerly a drug dealer before joining the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and then defecting to IS.

His bodyguard spoke of a series of shocking incidents, including when Jamal forced a mother and father to watch as a fellow jihadist killed their children one at a time.

‘Starting with a thirteen-year-old boy, they lined up the sons according to their height and beheaded them in that order,’ said the bodyguard.

‘Afterwards, they hung the boys’ heads on the door of the school the family had been hiding in.’

Abdullah was clear that, for Jamal, being a militant of IS was not about a higher calling but to obtain more power.

‘There are, of course, some who really believe that killing and whipping is the correct way to spread Islam,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.

‘But for Jamal, he doesn’t really care if the mission spreads Islam. All he cares about is becoming more powerful. Now, if a stronger organisation emerges, he will join it. And there are lots of men in Isil just like him.’

Abdullah said that Jamal would copy his fellow ’emirs’ in IS and control their territory through force, fear and hypocrisy.

‘They kidnap and carry out assassinations,’ he said. ‘They think nothing of bringing down a whole building with women and children inside, just to kill one person.'” Read more.
