Seized ISIS Laptop Shows Plans For Biological Weapons Attacks

08/29/2014 1 comment

So much peaceful news coming out of the Islamic world today. Thank goodness it has nothing to do with the religion of “use-whatever-means-you-can-to-terrorize-them” Islam, otherwise we’d all have real cause for concern …

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) …”

By Katie Zavadski, New York Mag – “A laptop purportedly belonging to an ISIS fighter was found by other rebels in Syria, and seems to show that its owner was gathering information to plan biological weapons attacks.

Abu Ali, a commander of a ‘moderate Syrian rebel group,’ showed the dusty Dell laptop — obtained after his men took over an ISIS building — to Foreign Policy. (What counts as a ‘moderate Syrian rebel group’ these days? Al Nusra?)

The laptop itself appeared to belong to a young Tunisian chemistry and physics student named Muhammed, whose course work was confirmed to FP by a Tunisian university he attended until 2011. He’s one of almost 2,500 Tunisians thought to have moved to Syria to join the ranks of ISIS.

On it, Foreign Policy‘s reporters found documents in English, French, and Arabic, stowed away on a non-password-protected hard drive. In addition to the usual videos, bomb-making instruction manuals, and such, the laptop contained an unexpected surprise:

The ISIS laptop contains a 19-page document in Arabic on how to develop biological weapons and how to weaponize the bubonic plague from infected animals.

“The advantage of biological weapons is that they do not cost a lot of money, while the human casualties can be huge,” the document states.

The document includes instructions for how to test the weaponized disease safely, before it is used in a terrorist attack. “When the microbe is injected in small mice, the symptoms of the disease should start to appear within 24 hours,” the document says.

The laptop also includes a 26-page fatwa, or Islamic ruling, on the usage of weapons of mass destruction.

Well, that’s no good, and the writers believe ‘the longer the caliphate exists, the more likely it is that members with a science background will come up with something horrible.’ (ISIS does control whole cities with laboratories now, after all.)” Read more.

Flashback: Terrorists Seize Nuclear Materials, Chemical Weapons Facilities In Iraq – “Jihadi insurgents rampaging across Iraq have seized nuclear materials used for scientific research from a university in the country’s north. Iraq sent an urgent letter to the United Nations appealing for help to ‘stave off the threat of their use by terrorists in Iraq or abroad.’ Nearly 88 pounds of uranium compounds were kept at Mosul University, Iraq’s UN ambassador told UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in the letter ­obtained on Wednesday. ‘Terrorist groups have seized control of nuclear material at the sites that came out of the control of the state,” Mohamed Ali Alhakim wrote, adding that such materials “can be used in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction.'” Read more.

Report: ISIS Terrorists Planning To Assassinate Pope Francis, Italy Issues Nationwide Terror Alert

08/29/2014 4 comments

Not surprising. The “prophet” of Islam himself, under the false impression that Rome somehow referred to all of Christendom, promised that Rome would one day be conquered by Muslims. As such, in the eyes of ISIS, the Pope is “the greatest exponent of the Christian religions.” The god of Islam evidently had no idea that other Christian denominations would one day exist outside of Catholicism …

“The building of Bayt al-Maqdis (al-Aqsa in Jerusalem) will be followed by the destruction of Yathrib (Madinah), which will be followed by a fierce battle (great war), which will be followed by the conquest of Rome, which will be followed by the appearance of the Dajjal [Antichrist].” – The “prophet” of Islam,Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Battles (Kitab Al-Malahim), Book 37, Number 4281.

CBS News – “A new report claims that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is targeting Pope Francis — a report that the Vatican says is simply not true.

According to Il Tempo, Israeli sources reportedly told the Italian newspaper that the pope is ‘in the crosshairs of ISIS.’ The report stated that Francis is being targeted because he is ‘the greatest exponent of the Christian religions’ and the ‘bearer of false truth.’

The Vatican, though, denounced the report.

‘There is nothing serious to this,’ Father Federico Lombardi S.J., a Vatican spokesman, told Catholic News Agency. ‘There is no particular concern in the Vatican. This news has no foundation.’

The Catholic News Agency reports that Italy has issued a nationwide terror alert, despite no imminent threats or specifics about a potential attack on the country.

On Friday, Britain raised the terror threat level from substantial to severe, meaning that a terrorist attack is considered highly likely.” Read more.

UK Terror Threat Level Raised To Severe, Jihadist Attack Now “Highly Likely”

08/29/2014 4 comments

Because Muslim terrorists, who have nothing to do with Islam, are threatening to attack Britain for the glory of “Allah” and his religion …

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 …”

UK Prime Minister David Cameron

UK Prime Minister David Cameron

By Nicholas Cecil, London Evening Standard – “Britain’s terror threat level was dramatically raised to severe today amid fears that UK jihadists returning from Iraq and Syria could launch attacks.

The severe warning means an attack is ‘highly likely’, rather than the earlier assessment of substantial where a terror strike is ‘a strong possibility’. Home Secretary Theresa May stressed there was no intelligence to suggest an imminent attack.

After the decision by Britain’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, she added: ‘The increase in the threat level is related to developments in Syria and Iraq, where terrorist groups are planning attacks against the West.

‘Some of those plots are likely to involve foreign fighters who have travelled there from the UK and Europe to take part in those conflicts. We face a real and serious threat in the UK from international terrorism. I urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.’

Scotland Yard Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe warned days ago that close to 200 potentially ‘militarised’ fighters are back in London. He also proposed UK jihadists have their passports revoked to stop them returning here.

Islamic State have slaughtered thousands as they seized control of swathes of Syria and Iraq. They also beheaded US journalist James Foley, 40, in revenge for US air strikes in Iraq to stop the killings. Mr Foley and other hostages were guarded by a group of British jihadists, known as ‘The Beatles’, with one — ‘John’— featuring in the video of his killing.” Source – London Evening Standard.

U.S. Officials Say ‘Significant Increase’ In Jihadi Chatter Ahead Of 9/11 Anniversary – “U.S. intelligence has picked up increased chatter among Islamist terror networks approaching the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and amid the continuing battle for supremacy between Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, current and former U.S. officials told TheBlaze. ‘We’ve noticed a significant increase in chatter among Islamic terrorist organizations overseas both on the Internet and phone lines,’ said a U.S. government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the matter. ‘This is certainly concerning’ … Adding to the concern, however, is Al Qaeda’s competition for dominance over the Islamic State, after the two terror groups had a falling out of sorts earlier this year. ‘Core’ Al Qaeda is led by Ayman al-Zawahri, who is fighting to maintain leadership with Muslim followers from his base in Pakistan.” Read more.

Unprecedented: The Truth About ISIS And Why This Terrorist Group Is Different From All Others

08/29/2014 1 comment

According to the article below, “many Muslim nations are looking at the extreme violence, beheading, crucifixions, etc., of the terrorist organization and realizing it is giving Islam a bad name.” But, if we dig a little deeper, what is giving Islam a “bad name” is not simply what ISIS is doing. It’s what Islam is teaching. According to the Qur’an, a true Muslim is one who pursues, fights against, strives against, is ruthless against, sieges, slays, beheads, strikes fear into the hearts of, and terrorizes non-Muslims in order to be victorious over them by either converting them to Islam or, if they refuse, destroying them. Even the “prophet” of Islam himself — who the Qur’an calls an “excellent example to follow” in Sura 33:21 — said that he was made “victorious with terror” (Hadith, Bukhari 2977). As such, if ISIS is not representing true Islam, then who today is most accurately representing Islam as it is taught in the Qur’an? On the grounds of the Qur’an itself, the “Islamic State” is not violating Islamic teachings. It is upholding them. And this is why Islam has never seen, nor will it ever know, true and lasting peace with non-Muslims — because if the Qur’an is any indication, true and lasting peace is, well, un-Islamic …

Daniel 7:7, “… 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 …”

The Lid – “ISIS is different from other terrorists in two main ways. First it is unprecedented in its level of violence. We are talking about a terrorist organization whose leaders were thrown out of al Qaeda for being too violent. That is a special kind of crazy. But just as important is the fact that ISIS is a more of a single operation, unlike al Qaeda, which had a core group surrounded by many “franchise” terrorist groups, ISIS is a single entity. And as a single entity the “Islamic State” or whatever they are calling themselves today has been able to develop a self-sustaining economy that among other things makes it the richest terrorist group ever and able to fund a lot more evil than other terrorists.

As you can see by the chart above, ISIS has taken over large swaths of both Iraq and Syria, and closing in on Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon and everywhere it goes it raises money through extortion, oil pirating and kidnapping. This is significant because one of the ways free nations fight terrorists is cutting off the money, since ISIS has its own money that strategy would be a much more difficult task.

Today’s Wall Street Journal outlines the emerging financial empire being built by the vicious terrorist group that is building a self-sustaining economy across the territory it controls in Syria and Iraq, by  pirating oil and exacting tribute from a native population of at least eight million people…

The ISIS economy has come just in time as many Muslim nations are looking at the extreme violence, beheading, crucifixions, etc., of the terrorist organization and realizing it is giving Islam a bad name.  Surprisingly these same countries said nothing (and still say nothing) about groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and al Qaeda.

Despite what the Obama administration says in public, ISIS which is extremist even for extremists and has its own source of cash, is an existential threat to the United States and the Western World.” Read more.

Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Hasan Petitions To Be a “Citizen” Of The Terror-Loving ISIS Caliphate

A Mohammed-inspired mass killing terrorist wants to become a citizen of a nation of Mohammed-inspired mass killing terrorists. Birds of a feather may flock together, but this is one bird that will never fly again …

Hadith, Sahih Muslim 1:33a, “The Messenger of Allah [Mohammed] said: ‘I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Mohammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish [Islamic] prayer …”

Isaiah 24:6a, “Therefore the curse [“alah”] has devoured the earth, And those who dwell in it are desolate …”

Political Correctness Kills

Political Correctness Kills

By Cheryl K. Chumley, The Washington Times – “Nidal Hasan, the convicted shooter in the Fort Hood attack that left 13 dead and more than 30 injured, has written a letter to the head of the Islamic State, requesting to become a ‘citizen’ of the terrorist organization.

‘I formally and humbly request to be made a citizen of the Islamic State,’ Hasan wrote in the letter to ‘Ameer, Mujahad Dr. Abu Bakr al-Baghadadi,’ Fox News reported. ‘It would be an honor for any believer to be an obedient citizen soldier to a people and its leader who don’t compromise the religion of All-Mighty Allah to get along with the disbelievers.’

Hasan signs his letter with his name and the abbreviation SoA — Soldier of Allah.

John Galligan, the attorney for Hasan, said the letter ‘underscores how much of his life, actions and mental thought process are driven by religious zeal. And it also reinforces my belief that the military judge committed reversible error by prohibiting Major Hasan from both testifying and arguing … how his religious beliefs’ motivate his shooting,’ Fox News reported.

The court trial of Hasan generated great controversy because he was not prosecuted for a terrorist attack, but rather for an act of workplace violence.” Source – The Washington Times.

Fiendish Friday Favorites: Report Reveals ISIS Caliphate Prefers To Maim And Kill On Islam’s Holiest Day Of The Week – “So far, when the media even bothers to cover the rise of ISIS, they’ve generally chosen to focus on the atrocities in northern Iraq, where the Yazidi population and other minority sects have been explicitly hunted. But across the border, in Syria, the bloodletting has been going on for years — and the carnage there is equally as bad, if not worse. And yet to their credit, UN investigators have done yeomen’s work exposing ISIS’s atrocities in Syria, especially during the first half of this past year. Their 45-page expose is gruesome yet a must-read. Ironically, too, the commissioners discovered that the holiest day of the week, Friday, is when ISIS radicals prefer torturing, maiming, and executing their victims. How sick is that?” Read more.

Aside from Everyday, what better day is there to mangle and murder than on the “prophet” of pain’s holiest day of the week? …

Qur’an Sura 5:33, “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement …”

By Daniel Doherty, Town Hall – “So far, when the media even bothers to cover the rise of ISIS, they’ve generally chosen to focus on the atrocities in northern Iraq, where the Yazidi population and other minority sects have been explicitly hunted.

Public executions, amputations, lashings and mock crucifixion are a regular fixture injihadist-controlled areas of Syria, a UN probe charged Wednesday, also accusing Damascus of repeatedly using chemical weapons against civilians. “Executions in public spaces have become a common spectacle on Fridays” — the Muslim holy day — in parts of Syria under control of the Islamic State (IS), the independent Commission of Inquiry on human rights in Syria said.In a 45-page report covering the period from January 20 to July 15, the commission also detailed a wide range of crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by the Syrian government and other armed opposition groups. And it accused Damascus of dropping chlorine bombs on civilian areas in April — the first time the UN has directly blamed the government for the chemical attacks.

The four-member commission detailed a litany of horrors committed by IS, including beheading boys as young as 15 and amputations and lashings in public squares as residents, including children, are forced to watch.

Flashback: Syrian Islamists Live-Tweet Sharia Amputation Of Man’s Hand For All To See – “The amputation took place in the remote rural town of Maskanah in the northern province of Aleppo, according to a series of tweets posted by the account of a supporter of the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. The first showed a photograph of a blindfolded man having his arm positioned on a table by fighters as a masked man wielding a sword waits nearby. Another man, wearing a white robe of the kind favored in Arab Gulf countries, is reading a statement. A caption states that the blindfolded man is a thief who had asked to have his hand cut off ‘in order to cleanse his sins.’ A second photograph was taken just as the sword is about to strike the hand while a burly fighter restrains the victim.” Read more.

But take a look at the Islamic world today. Is it exemplified by peace and justice and social harmony because of ‘Allah’s laws’? To the contrary, the Islamic world is ravaged by war, by deprivation, by desert and famine and starvation and pestilences, conditions that are true both physically and spiritually, both literally and figuratively. Because of ‘Sharia lawlessness’ the ‘Religion of Peace’ is typified by widespread destruction and disparity, and any number of recent headlines bear this out all too well.” Read more.

New Al Qaeda Magazine Hints Of Imminent Attack On America, Urges Bombing Of Oil Tankers, Las Vegas

08/28/2014 Leave a comment

For peaceful purposes. Is al Qaeda racing to beat ISIS to the punch, or are these brothers-in-arms working together? …

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 …”

By Lisa Daftari, FOX News – “A new English-language Al Qaeda magazine features a how-to article on making car bombs and suggests terror targets in the United States, including casinos in Las Vegas, oil tankers and military colleges, and implies that an attack is imminent.

The online publication, called ‘Palestine-Betrayal of the Guilty Conscience Al-Malahem’ and put out by the media arm of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, calls for Muslims around the world to follow ‘the recipe’ provided to set off car bombs in crowded venues. It includes a timeline of ‘selected jihadi operations’ that the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which first flagged the slickly-produced latest edition of the terror publication, finds chilling.

‘The timeline concludes with the date 201?’ and blank spaces and question marks for the photo and information of the next attack — implying that it is coming soon.’ said MEMRI Executive Director Steve Stalinsky.

There is a suggested list of targets for lone-wolf, or individually executed, terror attacks, including New York’s Times Square, casinos and night clubs in Las Vegas, oil tankers and trains, the Georgia Military College, the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and General Atomics defense contractor in San Diego.

‘This recipe gives you the ability to make a car bomb even in countries with tight security and surveillance,’ one article reads, before providing a ‘shopping list’ of supplies needed to make such a bomb, including cooking gas, oxygen gas, a barometer, decoration lamps and matches.

There is also a list of targets in Britain including a military academy and the Marks and Spencers chain of department stores. The magazine calls for the stores to be hit on Friday during prayers so that Muslims won’t be affected.

Globally, AQAP calls for the targeting of tourist resorts frequented by Israelis, Britons and Americans.” Read more.

Experts: Number Of “Islamic State” Followers Growing Leaps And Bounds, Fighters Now Top 100,000

08/28/2014 2 comments

And that number, if accurate, only reflects the totals in Iraq and Syria. It does not include aspiring “members” across the globe who either sympathize with, or have already pledged allegiance to obey, the ISIS caliphate …

Hadith, Muslim 1844, 1851, “Whoever gives his oath of allegiance to a leader and gives him his hand and his heart, let him obey him as much as he can … Whoever dies and did not make an oath of allegiance (to the Muslim leader) has died a death of jaahiliyyah [like an ignorant non-Muslim in pre-Islamic times]” – The “Prophet” Mohammed

By Riyadh Mohammed, Mashable – “The Islamic State, the radical group which has cut a bloody path through Syria and Iraq in recent months, slaying civilians and security forces, and executing the American journalist James Foley on camera, has even more followers than previously believed, according to Iraqi security sources.

While western diplomats and other observers have estimated the number of militants number between 20,000 to 50,000, Hisham al-Hashimi, a security expert in Baghdad, said that the total membership of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria may now be closer to 100,000 members.

If true, the numbers suggest that the militant organization is growing by leaps and bounds as it conquers territory in the region.

According to Hashimi, a key event in terms of adding more people to its rank was the group’s capture of Mosul in June. The northern Iraqi city is a Sunni stronghold, home to many former officers in Saddam Hussein’s army who have opposed the Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad. And while some people were forced to enlist, others seem to have voluntarily taken up arms.

As a researcher who occasionally gives advice to the Iraqi security forces, Hashimi has had access to hundreds of memory drives recovered by Iraqi security forces at the home of the second-in-command of the Islamic state and other Iraqi intelligence as well as researchers on the ground in Iraq.

‘The Islamic State didn’t come from nowhere,’ said Hashimi who has been studying the group for years. ‘It is an extension of groups that existed before — historically and ideologically.’

Hashimi’s estimate was seconded by Ibrahim al-Sumaidaei, a political analyst, currently based in Amman, Jordan.

‘The Islamic State’s members have multiplied in a very dangerous way,’ said Sumaidaei, a former intelligence officer. ‘Having plenty of arms and funding has made the Islamic State swallow the fighters of the other Sunni insurgent groups.’ Sumaidaei added that many of the members may not be ‘active duty.’

In addition to foot soldiers, the Islamic State has also attracted a number of former high level army officers from Saddam Hussein’s Baathist regime, said Hashimi. (Many Baathists fought American troops after the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.)

‘Most of those who joined — and I know them personally — are either former army officers or their sons,’ said Salem Aljomaily, a security expert and a former intelligence officer. In terms of how the new recruits are organized, Aljomaily said that ‘the high ranking officers are the military planners, and their sons and the younger officers are being used as fighters.'” Read more.

Sickening: ISIS Terrorists Slaughter Hundreds Of Captured Syrian Soldiers

08/28/2014 1 comment

There are no words for “The Geneva Conventions” in Islam’s language of lawlessness (until the ones they’re killing start fighting back) …

Qur’an Sura 33:60-62, “If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbors in it but a little while. Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter.”

Hadith, Ishaq 327, “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

ISIS Fighters Marching More Than 200 Soldiers Across The Desert To Their Deaths

ISIS Fighters Marching More Than 200 Soldiers Across The Desert To Their Deaths

By Dan Bloom, Mail Online – “Sickening footage appears to show Islamic State militants parading around 250 captured soldiers through the desert in their underwear before they are killed and their bodies piled on the bare earth.

An Islamic State fighter claimed the men were from the Syrian government’s Tabqa air base which extremists seized on Sunday, potentially handing them warplanes, tanks, artillery and ammunition.

The video, which has not been independently verified, is too graphic to be published in full.

It begins by showing dozens of men being marched through the desert wearing only their underwear. It then fades to black, resuming with a pile of bloodied bodies stacked on top of one another.

As the horrific footage progresses it pans slowly across a vast line of men who appear to be dead, and whose bodies have been laid out one by one.

The line forms a slow crescent across the desert, seemingly stretching to the horizon as militants stand beside it. Eventually, after more than a minute, the cameraman reaches the end of the line.

The precise death toll is uncertain and other sources put it at lower than 250, but at least 150 bodies are visible in the shaky video.

Its description on Youtube said it showed the execution of Army officers and Nusayri people, a significant minority of Shia Muslims in Syria.

A caption to another version of the video said: ‘The 250 shabeeha taken captive by the Islamic State from Tabqa in Raqqa have been executed.’ Shabeeha is the Islamist name for soldiers loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.

An Islamic State fighter in Raqqa told Reuters: ‘Yes we have executed them all’.” Read more.

Hamas Leader: The Gaza Experience Should Be Repeated In The West Bank And Jerusalem

08/28/2014 3 comments

Because of Hamas, over 2,100 people were killed in Gaza during the terrorist organization’s latest conflict with Israel, nearly half of them Islamist combatants.  Because of Hamas, over 17,000 homes, buildings and command centers were destroyed or severely damaged. Because of Hamas, a significant portion of its tunnel network that took years to build were destroyed and its rocket arsenal severely depleted. Because of Hamas, tens of thousands of Palestinians are now homeless, and all of this resulted in no significant gains. Yet even now, they want to do it all over again in the West Bank and Jerusalem. The “prophet” of Islam may have frowned upon music, but he evidently loves a symphony of destruction

They vomited and wet their pants. Dear brothers, the true owners of this land have vanquished the foreign settlers. While the people of Gaza were emerging from the rubble, and sitting on (what was left) of their homes, more than half of occupied Palestine was evacuated… we are entering a phase of rebuilding the homes, rearming, and developing our capabilities, until we can liberate all of Palestine. Dear brothers, what happened has serious implications not only for the Israeli entity, but also for the West Bank, the everlasting wellspring of resistance. Dear brothers, we call upon you to repeat the Gaza experience in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and then you can start counting the days until the liberation of all of Palestine.” Listen to more.

Bad leadership in a bad world is leaving us all in a bad situation. Fortunately, God remains in control even when the world spirals out of it …

Daniel 2:21, 4:17b, “He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning … the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of men.”

FOX News – “A new report from the West Point counterterrorism center challenges the notion that the Islamic State only recently became a major terror threat, describing the network’s gains in Iraq as a crisis four years in the making.

Meanwhile, Fox News has learned that top aides to President Obama expect the threat from the organization, also known as ISIS or ISIL, to outlast Obama’s time in office.

The details underscore the challenge facing the U.S. government and its allies as the president and military advisers weigh how — and where — to confront the Islamist militant forces.

‘ISIL did not suddenly become effective in early June 2014: it had been steadily strengthening and actively shaping the future operating environment for four years,’ the report from the West Point center said.

The report said that the ‘shattering’ of Iraq’s security forces in June is a ‘case-in-point, the result of years of patient preparatory operations.’

The report, obtained in advance by Fox News, was published by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, an independent, privately funded research group. It was written by Michael Knights, with The Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

The report pointed to a long trail of warning signs, after leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ‘re-booted’ the organization in 2010. The report said it has developed a ‘highly-motivated cadre of light infantry forces’ since 2012, while launching major attacks like a wave of car bombs across multiple cities that lasted until the end of 2013.

Despite these warning signs, President Obama earlier this year compared ISIS and related groups to a ‘jayvee team’ during an interview with The New Yorker.

The White House has since defended those remarks, claiming the president was not referring only to the Islamic State. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes also claimed earlier this month that the network indeed ‘has gained capacity in the last several months.’

Rhodes said the Islamic State poses ‘a greater threat today than they did six months ago.’

Left unclear is when that danger might diminish.” Read more.

PA Official Justifies Killing Civilians: “There Are No Innocent Israelis”

Now we know how Hamas can claim that they never aim their rockets at innocent Jewish civilians. It’s because they don’t exist …

Hadith, Tabari 7:97, “The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.’”

Abbas Zaki, Senior Fatah Official, Palestine Today TV, 8/22/2014: “I’m against signing the Rome Statute (i.e., joining the International Criminal Court) as long as our country is occupied. If tomorrow you shoot, they’ll say you signed an agreement. This is not meant for people who want to liberate their country … I think the [Palestinian] people’s weapon is pure — they don’t want to kill. By the way, there are no innocent Israelis.” Watch video.
