ISIS Burns 45 People Alive In Western Iraq, Photo Released Also Showing Caged Children With Torch In Foreground

02/17/2015 2 comments

This is pure evil, the likes of which the world hasn’t seen since Nazi Germany. Since Mohammed would have done the same thing, so must they in order to increase their chances of meeting with “Allah” on the Day of Judgment. Their wish will be granted and they will indeed meet with “Allah” as well as their “prophet” to be with them forever. Sadly for them, however, “Allah” and his “prophet” will themselves be spending eternity in the lake of fire …

Qur’an Sura 33:21, “Indeed in Allah’s Messenger (Mohammad) you have an excellent example to follow for him who hopes in (meeting with) Allah and the Last Day…”

Revelation 13:4; 20:10, 15, “… And they worshiped the dragon [Satan], for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast … and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever… And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”

Inquisitr – “Islamic State militants have reportedly burned 45 people alive in the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, according to the local police chief, who reported the latest ISIS atrocity.

Precisely who the people were and why they were killed in this brutal fashion is not yet clear, although Col Qasim al-Obeidi said he believed some were members of the Iraqi security forces, therefore technically, not ‘innocent civilians.’

Having captured most of the strategically important town, near to the Ain al-Asad air base last week, ISIS militants also captured a compound that houses the families of security personnel and local officials.

The reported burning alive of 45 people in Iraq seems to signify a new trend in Middle-Age style ISIS barbarity, having published a video earlier this month showing the burning to death of a captured Jordanian pilot in a metal cage, a video that shocked and outraged the world.

The town of Al-Baghdadi had been besieged for months by ISIS before it finally fell into their hands on Thursday. It was one of the few towns to still be controlled by the Iraqi government in the Anbar province.

Rear Adm John Kirby from the Pentagon told reporters on Friday that al-Baghdadi’s capture needed to be put in perspective. According to him, it was the first time in the last couple of months that ISIS had taken new ground, as they have been taking a pounding from allied air strikes over the last few weeks.

The worrying thing for the local community, as well as the 320 US Marines stationed at the Ain al-Asad air base, is that ISIS will reach them and that would not be a good eventuality.

It remains to be seen what will happen now that Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi has fallen to ISIS, as the West and her allies try to find the right strategy to defeat and demolish ISIS once and for all.” Source – Inquisitr.

Another Saudi Cleric Rejects Fact That Earth Revolves Around The Sun

02/17/2015 1 comment

The earth revolving around the sun is observable and irrefutable science. But Islam’s scientific method has evidently replaced definitive observation with divine obligation. If the “prophet of Allah” says the sun runs its course around the earth, then all true Muslims are obliged to believe it. After all, “Allah” knows best …

Qur’an Sura 36:38, “And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.”

Al Arabiya News – “A Saudi cleric has appeared in a recent video rejecting the fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun and claiming the opposite holds true, prompting a wave of social media remarks.

Answering a student question on whether the Earth is stationary or moving, Sheikh Bandar al-Khaibari replied: ‘stationary and does not move.’

He then attempted to support his argument by quoting some clerics and selected religious statements. But his most controversial method to debunk the rotation theory was a ‘logical’ deduction in which he used a visual.

‘First of all, where are we now? we go to Sharjah airport to travel to China by plane, clear?! focus with me, this is Earth;’ he said, holding a sealed water cup.

He argued that if a plane stops still in air ‘China would be coming towards it’ in case the Earth rotates on one direction. It the Earth rotates on opposite direction, the plane would never reach China, because ‘China is also rotating.’

In separate statements Sheikh al-Khaibari said man never went to the moon, rejecting NASA’s lunar excursion video as Hollywood fabrication.

The video of the sheikh triggered a wave of controversial remarks on social media, especially on Twitter, where a special hashtag is being widely circulated. The hashtag translates as: ‘#cleric_rejects_rotation_of_Earth

In an interesting remark, one user tweeted: ‘What a coincidence that this would occur on Galileo’s birthday!'” Read more.

That is the determination of the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing.’ Does the sun revolve around the earth? [Cleric]: There is no doubt about it. The Koran says: ‘The sun runs …’ Nevertheless, they say that the sun stands in place and the Earth moves.

The True History Of Christendom And Islam

02/17/2015 Leave a comment

Islamic history was foretold in the Book of Revelation

Revelation 6:2-8, “And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it … went out conquering and to conquer … Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. When He opened the third seal … I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand… When He opened the fourth seal … I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death …”

By Raymond Ibrahim, FrontPage Mag – “U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama’s recent condemnation of medieval Christian history as a way to exonerate Islam is a reminder of how woefully ignorant (or intentionally deceptive) a good many people in the West are concerning the true history of Christian Europe and Islam.

The problem is that those who condemn things like the Crusades — including ‘mainstream’ academics, journalists, movie-makers, and politicians — do so without mention of any historical context.  Worse, they imply ‘we’ already know the context: evil popes and greedy knights exploiting Christianity to seize Muslim lands and wealth.  Or in the words of Karen Armstrong, ‘the idea that Islam imposed itself by the sword is a Western fiction, fabricated during the time of the Crusades when, in fact, it was Western Christians who were fighting brutal holy wars against Islam.’

Of course, the true story of Christendom and Islam is antithetically different.  Consider some facts for a moment:

A mere decade after the birth of Islam in the 7th century, the jihad burst out of Arabia.  Leaving aside all the thousands of miles of ancient lands and civilizations that were permanently conquered — today casually called the ‘Islamic world,’ including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and parts of India and China — much of Europe was also, at one time or another, conquered by the sword of Islam.

Among other nations and territories that were attacked and/or came under Muslim domination are (to give them their modern names in no particular order): Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Sicily, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Greece, Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Lithuania, Romania, Albania, Serbia, Armenia, Georgia, Crete, Cyprus, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, Belarus, Malta, Sardinia, Moldova, Slovakia, and Montenegro.

In 846 Rome was sacked and the Vatican defiled by Muslim Arab raiders; some 600 years later, in 1453, Christendom’s other great basilica, Holy Wisdom (or Hagia Sophia) was conquered by Muslim Turks, permanently.  (Till this day, Turkish Muslims celebrate this day of great rapine and slaughter.)

The few European regions that escaped direct Islamic occupation due to their northwest remoteness include Great Britain, Scandinavia, and Germany.  That, of course, does not mean that they were not attacked by Islam. Indeed, in the furthest northwest of Europe, in Iceland, Christians used to pray that God save them from the ‘terror of the Turk.’ This was not mere paranoia; as late as 1627, Muslim corsairs raided the Christian island seizing four hundred captives and selling them in the slave markets of Algiers.

Nor did America escape.  A few years after the formation of the United States, in 1800, American trading ships in the Mediterranean were …” Read more.

Islamic jihad has been the greatest mass murdering force in the history of humanity. As long as Islam has existed, it has never known peace. Bill Warner, director of the Center for the Study of Political Islam, stated during a 2007 interview with FrontPage Magazine that, ‘Jihad destroyed a Christian Middle East and a Christian North Africa. Soon it was the fate of the Persian Zoroastrian and the Hindu to be the victims of jihad. The history of political Islam is the destruction of Christianity in the Middle East, Egypt, Turkey and North Africa. Half of Christianity was lost. Before Islam, North Africa was the southern part of Europe (part of the Roman Empire). Around 60 million Christians were slaughtered during the jihadic conquest… The Jews became permanent dhimmis throughout Islam. In Africa over 120 million Christians and animists have died over the last 1400 years of jihad. Approximately 270 million nonbelievers died over the last 1400 years for the glory of political Islam. These are the Tears of Jihad which are not taught in any school.’ [4]. And the persecution of Jews and Christians, and the atmosphere of Islamic wars upon the earth, continues to this very day.” Read more.

Florida: Vandals Set Fire To Melbourne Church, Write “Allahu Akbar” Nearby

02/17/2015 1 comment

The culprits have yet to be identified, so it is possible that this may not have been committed by actual followers of the “prophet” of Islam. Regardless, an attack of this nature against a Christian church certainly serves to testify as to the pervasive influence that Islam is having in the West today. It should also be noted that, as is common in the Western media, the article incorrectly translates “Allahu Akbar” to mean “God is great.” It actually means “Allah is Greater.” But greater than who? …

Isaiah 14:13-14, “For thou [Satan] hast said in thine heart, ‘I will ascend [alah] into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend [‘alah’] above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.’”

WKMG – “A possible hate crime is investigated after fire was set at a Central Florida church and ‘Allahu Akbar’ was written nearby.

The incident happened around 3 a.m. Tuesday at the New Shiloh Christian Center in Melbourne. About 1,500 members attend the church.

Fire sprinklers helped contain the flames to a storage unit connected to the 125,000-square-foot building.

The words ‘Allahu Akbar’ were found written on a nearby storage container.  ‘Allahu Akbar’ is an Arabic phrase typically translated as ‘God is great’ and is a common expression used in various contexts.

Damages were estimated to be about $5,000.” Source – WKMG.

Recommended: What Does It All Mean? – “The name of Satan in Isaiah 14:12 (Lucifer) is ‘heylel,’ which means ‘light-bearer.’ The Arabic equivalent of Satan’s name is ‘hilal,’ which means ‘crescent moon.’ Also consider the ‘Takbir’ of Islam, the victory cry of ‘Allahu Akbar.’ What are they saying? It doesn’t mean ‘God is great’ as it is often translated in the West. It actually means ‘Allah is greater.’ If it is Satan’s intention to be like the Most High and to exalt his throne above the stars of God and sit upon the mount of his own congregation, it only stands to reason that Satan will seek to accomplish these things and perform these blasphemies through the religious system to which he has given power and authority — Islam. After all, those who marvel and follow the Beast ‘worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast’ (Rev 13:4), and Satan knows that when they are worshipping ‘Allah’ and the image of the Beast, they are worshipping him.” Read more.

UK: Muslim Man From Liverpool Charged With Attempting To Obtain A Chemical Weapon

02/16/2015 1 comment

I have a sneaking suspicion it wasn’t to kill 99.9% of bacteria …

Qur’an Sura 8:59-60, “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 …”

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “The BBC deigns to tell us his name, Mohammed Ammer Ali, but other than that tells us only that he is ‘a man from Liverpool.’ As is typical of the mainstream media, it makes no mention whatsoever of the fact that there is a jihad against the West, and that Mohammed Ammer Ali likely considers himself to be a soldier of that jihad. This kind of coverage would be like reporting that on December 7, 1941, a group of men from Japan destroyed some ships at Pearl Harbor, with no hint that it was an act of war or that the Japanese Empire was behind it.

‘Man charged over ‘chemical weapon,” BBC, February 16, 2015 (thanks to Marc):

A man from Liverpool has been charged with attempting to obtain a chemical weapon, police have said.

Mohammed Ammer Ali, 31, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in central London on Tuesday.

He was arrested on Wednesday, when officers from North West Counter Terrorism Unit and Merseyside Police searched five Merseyside addresses.

Officers have uncovered no plan or threat of an imminent attack either at home or abroad, police said.

The suspect is accused of attempting to have a chemical weapon in his possession between January 10 and February 12, contrary to the Criminal Attempts Act 1981 and the Chemical Weapons Act 1996.

Joel Richardson: Responding To The Beheading Of 21 Christians In Libya

02/16/2015 1 comment

On an emotional level, yes, we want to see these killers and others like them punished immediately for what they have done. But the punishment that we often envision is a vengeance that is reserved for the hand of the Most High who “is sovereign over the kingdoms of men” (Daniel 4:17). If He raises an army to strike them, He will do so. In the meantime, however, as this Beast continues to sink its teeth into the Body of Christ, we must never lose sight of the fact that, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in, there remains a world of Muslims in need of a Savior who are drowning in a sea of darkness. May our Lord continue to reveal Himself to them until He returns to personally destroy this evil, and may we pray that as many as possible come to know Him before that Day comes …

Matthew 24:22, 27, “And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened… For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

Colossians 3:12, “Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering …”

1 Peter 3:9, “Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.”

By Joel Richardson, Joels Trumpet – “On February 15, 2015, the Islamic State in Libya released another gruesome video of 21 Coptic Christians being beheaded on the beach in Libya. A screen shot below captures the scene moments before the men were beheaded by the Muslim mujahideen. Having watched portions of the video, my emotions are profoundly stirred. I rarely weep. But as I watched this, I wept uncontrollably.

When I wrote Islamic Antichrist 11 years ago, I wrote rather extensively on this issue, hoping to awaken the global Church to what was, and is coming. I say that not as a prophet, but simply as one who believes the words of Scripture.

The video captures this brother below praying moments before his death. His final words were, ‘Ya Rab Yesua,’ or in English, ‘Yeah, Lord Jesus.’

What worries me is that from the West, we see these things, and we think not in terms of joining our brothers and sisters in becoming such martyr/witnesses for Jesus (Greek: martus), but more often we respond in fear or anger or in raging for revenge. This is somewhat understandable. But the early Church had a very defined theology of martyrdom. That martyrdom embodied the highest form of witness of God. For as God is presently having mercy in this age towards His enemies, (including we who were His enemies), Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God, waiting to make His enemies His footstool. But that time is not yet. Though Jesus could call on twelve legions of angels in a moment, and consume the earth in fire with angels (as He will do), in this age, He has chosen to refrain. This refraining is out of mercy to His enemies, as He said before His execution, ‘Father forgive them.’ Though reviled, he didn’t revile in return. Though he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but continually entrusted His soul to Him who judges justly. So in His martyrdom, he showed the mercy of God. We also, those of us who have inherited the tremendous responsibility of the last days, are also called to imitate Jesus. The Lord is patient, not wanting any to perish, but for all to repent unto eternal life. Why then do we who have received mercy not seek to be witnesses of His mercy? Why are we so often first and foremost bent on revenge? I fear that many, in the name of ‘righteous justice,’ will fail to be the witnesses that He called us to be.

In Revelation 6:11 , we see a picture of the souls of the end time martyrs under the altar of God crying out, saying, ‘How long oh God, until you avenge our death and judge the earth?’ It is an apocalyptic picture of the Day of the Lord. They are crying out for, ‘When is it going to come, when is it going to be completed, oh Lord?’ And God tells them to, ‘wait a little longer, until Read more…

Rev. Graham On Christian Beheadings: These Acts Of Terror Will Spread Throughout Europe And The US, “The Storm Is Coming”

Mass Beheading of Egyptian Christians in Libya

By Michael W. Chapman, CNS News – “The Islamic State beheaded 21 Egyptian Christians over the weekend, propping the severed heads on the victims’ backs, a barbaric slaughter that led Reverend Franklin Graham to ask, ‘Can you imagine the outcry if 21 Muslims had been beheaded by Christians?’

‘Where is the universal condemnation by Muslim leaders around the world?’ he asked.

The brutal killing of the 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians, who had been abducted in Libya by members of the Islamic State, was videotaped and the entire death film was posted online on Sunday, Feb. 15. It is entitled, ‘A Message Signed With Blood, To The Nation of the Cross.’

In a Facebook post on Feb. 16, Rev. Graham, who heads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said, ‘The militant Islamic terrorist group ISIS has released a video called A MESSAGE SIGNED WITH BLOOD TO THE NATION OF THE CROSS  showing the beheadings of the 21 Egyptian Christians who had been kidnapped in Libya.’

‘Can you imagine the outcry if 21 Muslims had been beheaded by Christians?’ said Rev. Graham. ‘Where is the universal condemnation by Muslim leaders around the world?’

‘As we mourn with the families of those 21 martyrs, we’d better take this warning seriously as these acts of terror will only spread throughout Europe and the United States,’ warned Rev. Graham.

Islamic State Releases Video Showing Beheadings Of 21 Christians, Kidnaps Nearly Two Dozen More

Qur’an Sura 8:12b, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”

Here is an update on this story. The Islamic State has beheaded all 21 Christians because of their faith in Jesus and the Word of God and for their refusal to submit to Islam. Today they sleep, but tomorrow they will be awakened …

Revelation 20:4, “… And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

RecommendedThe Mark Of The Beast – What Your Church May Not Be Telling You

By Harriet Alexander and Louisa Loveluck, The Telegraph – “Islamic State jihadists have released a video showing the murder of 21 Egyptians, who they captured in Libya around Christmas.

The Egyptians, dressed in orange jump suits, were beheaded after being forced down on the ground. The video appeared on the Twitter feed of a website that supports Islamic State. A caption on the five-minute video read: ‘The people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian church.’

Before the killings, one of the militants stood with a knife in his hand and said: ‘Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for.’

The 21 men, all migrant workers hailing from impoverished areas of central Egypt, were kidnapped between late December and early January. Fourteen came for the same village, Al-Our.

An eyewitness to the abductions of several of the men on January 4 told The Telegraph that black-clad militants had entered their living quarters in the middle of the night, carrying a list of named Christians. Relatives in adjoining rooms were left cowering behind their doors, waiting for the jihadists to break them down. But the militants left suddenly, apparently after kidnapping an allotted quota of victims.

And it was also announced on Saturday that a second group of 21 Egyptians had been kidnapped in Libya – this time from Misrata.” Read more.

Why Do Non-Muslims Convert To Islam?

02/15/2015 3 comments

The answer can be summed up in one word: deception. Islam calls it “taqiyya” …

Matthew 7:15, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”

2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, “The coming of the [lawless one] is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”

Islam

According To Biblical Scripture, This Is The “Prophet” Of Islam

Dr. Mordechai Kedar, INN – “One of the things that worries the West is the fact that hundreds and maybe even thousands of young Europeans are converting to Islam, and some of them are joining terror groups and ISIS and returning to promote Jihad against the society in which they were born, raised and educated. The security problem posed by these young people is a serious one, because if they hide their cultural identity, it is extremely difficult for Western security forces to identify them and their evil intentions. This article will attempt to clarify the reasons that impel these young people to convert to Islam and join terrorist organizations.

The sources for this article are recordings made by the converts themselves, and the words they used, written here, are for the most part unedited direct quotations.

Many of the converts are convinced that Islam is a religion of peace, love, affection and friendship, based on the generous hospitality and warm welcome they receive from the Moslem friends in their new social milieu. In many instances, a young person born into an individualistic, cold and alienating society finds that Muslim society provides  – at college, university or  community center – a warm embrace, a good word, encouragement and help, things that are lacking in the society from which he stems. The phenomenon is most striking in the case of those who grew up in dysfunctional families or divorced homes, whose parents are alcoholics, drug addicts, violent and abusive, or parents who take advantage of their offspring and did not give their children a suitable emotional framework and model for building a normative, productive life.

The convert sees his step as a mature one based on the right of an individual to determine his own religious and cultural identity, even if the family and society he is abandoning disagree. Sometimes converting to Islam is a form of parental rebellion. Often, the convert is spurned by his family and surrounding society for his decision, but the hostility felt towards Islam by his former environment actually results in his having more confidence in the need for his conversion. Anything said against conversion to Islam is interpreted as unjustified racism and baseless Islamophobia.

The Islamic convert is told by Muslims that Islam respects the prophets of its mother religions, Judaism and Christianity, is in favor of faith in He Who dwells on High, believes in the Day of Judgment, in reward and punishment, good deeds and avoiding evil. He is convinced that Islam is a legitimate religion as valid as Judaism and Christianity, so if his parents are Jewish or Christian, why can’t he become Muslim? He sees a good many positive and productive Muslims who benefit their society and its economy, who have integrated into the environment in which he was raised, so why not emulate them? Most Muslims are not terrorists, so neither he nor anyone should find his joining them in the least problematic.

J. Peter Pham said: ‘An attack on Madiguri is very likely,’ and he and a couple of experts believe that the terrorists have put ‘sleeper cells’ among refugees who have fled areas where the group attacked.

He also hinted that the sect may be planning to hoist its black flag over Maiduguri, which he says would be a big blow to the Nigerian government.” Source – Nigerian Bulletin.

No confirmation as to whether or not this was related to Islamic terror, but even if it were it would somehow still have absolutely nothing to do with Islam ...

Hadith, Tabari 7:97, “‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.’” – The “Prophet” Mohammed

Update: Police kill Islamic terrorist responsible for both shootings

FOX News – “One person was killed, and two others injured, in a shooting near a Copenhagen synagogue early Sunday, just hours after a gunman with an automatic rifle opened fire on a cafe hosting a free speech event organized by a controversial Swedish artist who has faced threats for his caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.

Police said it wasn’t immediately clear if the incident was linked to the earlier shooting that killed one person and wounded two police officers.

In the latest shooting, Copenhagen police say one person was shot in the head while two police officers were shot in the arms and legs. The suspect fled on foot.

Police said the suspect in the earlier shooting at the Krudttoenden cafe drove away in a dark Volkswagen Polo after he sprayed the cafe with some 30 bullets. A 40-year-old Danish man attending the event was killed and three police officers were slightly wounded. Denmark’s security service declared the shooting an apparent terror attack.Read more.

New York Times: The Islamic State Is Sprouting Limbs Beyond Its Base

Or horns, perhaps? Let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch …

Daniel 7:7, 24, “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns… The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; he shall be different from the first ones …”

By Eric Schmitt and David D. Kirkpatrick, The New York Times – “The Islamic State is expanding beyond its base in Syria and Iraq to establish militant affiliates in Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt and Libya, American intelligence officials assert, raising the prospect of a new global war on terror.

Intelligence officials estimate that the group’s fighters number 20,000 to 31,500 in Syria and Iraq. There are less formal pledges of support from ‘probably at least a couple hundred extremists’ in countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Yemen, according to an American counterterrorism official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential information about the group.

Lt. Gen. Vincent R. Stewart, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said in an assessment this month that the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, was ‘beginning to assemble a growing international footprint.’ …

The sudden proliferation of Islamic State affiliates and loyalist fighters motivated the White House’s push to give Mr. Obama and his successor new authority to pursue the group wherever its followers emerge …

The Islamic State began attracting pledges of allegiance from groups and individual fighters after it declared the formation of a caliphate, or religious state, in June 2014. Counterterrorism analysts say it is using Al Qaeda’s franchise structure to expand its geographic reach, but without Al Qaeda’s rigorous, multiyear application process. This could allow its franchises to grow faster, easier and farther…

The Islamic State’s attraction, even in the West, was proved when Amedy Coulibaly, one of the gunmen in the Paris terrorist attacks last month, declared allegiance to the group.

In Afghanistan last week, an American drone strike killed a former Taliban commander, Mullah Abdul Rauf Khadim, who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and had recently begun recruiting fighters…

Any authorization to use American military force against the Islamic State could arguably also cover interventions in Egypt and Libya, where active militant organizations have pledged allegiance to the group and have received its public acknowledgment as ‘provinces’ of the putative caliphate.

Although there is little or no public evidence that the Islamic State’s leaders in Syria and Iraq have practical control over its North African provinces, its influence is already apparent in their operations and is destabilizing the countries around them. A publication released by the central gro…up last week included a photograph of fighters in Libya with its affiliate there parading 20 Egyptian Christian captives in the Islamic State’s trademark orange jumpsuits, indicating at least a degree of communication.

In Egypt, the Sinai-based extremist group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis sent emissaries to the Islamic State in Syria last year to seek financial support, weapons and tactical advice, as well as the publicity and recruiting advantages that might come with the Islamic State name, according to Western officials briefed on classified intelligence reports.

Ansar Beit al-Maqdis began adopting the Islamic State’s signature medieval punishment, beheadings, even before a formal merger.” Read more.
