They would love nothing more than to swarm down upon and devour the State of Israel and its people …

Joel 3:11-12, “Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations [H1471 gowy, “peoples” or, figuratively, “swarm of locusts”], and gather yourselves there. Bring down, O LORD, Your mighty ones. Let the nations be aroused And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I will sit to judge All the surrounding nations.”

Revelation 9:2-3, 11, “When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth… They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).”

By Ariel Ben Solomon, The Jerusalem Post – “A new jihadi media outlet called Al-Fawaris released a video calling on Gazans to endure the military operation, saying that victory looms and that Muslims all over the world support them.

According to a report published on Monday by the MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor, the video also features jihadi cleric Abu hareth Al-Maqdisi threatening Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, saying his demise is coming soon…

Maqdisi, whose name attests to his Palestinian origin, is currently in Syria.

‘The general impression is that Al-Fawaris is close to the Islamic State, inter alia due to its use of the flag identified with the Islamic State, and due to the shared concept of shattering the Sykes-Picot boundaries that is advertised in the notice announcing the establishment of this media body,’ the report said…

‘Oh our brothers in Gaza, know that you are fighting an enemy following Satan’s path, whereas you are fighting in the way of [Allah] the merciful,’ Maqdisi said.

He added that he and his fighters want to join the fighting in Gaza.

‘True, we are fighting in Syria, but our heart yearns to arrive and fight the sons and brothers of the apes and pigs [the Jews],’ MEMRI reported Maqdisi as saying The jihadi cleric said that Gazans must be patient and wait for either victory or martyrdom, adding that Allah will soon send ‘extraordinary soldiers who will fight and defeat the Jews.’

The foreign fighters seeking his ouster, on the other hand, receive sustenance from a medieval theocracy that, in the words of John R. Bradley a preeminent Middle East expert who predicted the Egyptian revolution as early as 2009 ‘spews out a kind of anti-Semitic hatred not known since the Nazis.’” Read more.

Religion Of Thievery: ISIS Caliphate Invades Monastery, Steals “Everything” From Iraqi Christians

Those at the monastery were fortunate that the ISIS militants didn’t also take their lives …

Revelation 9:21, “And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries [“φαρμακεία” – idolatry] or their sexual immorality or their thefts.”

WorldWatch Monitor – “After every known Christian is reported to have left Mosul, Islamic State fighters, IS, have now taken over a monastery near the largely Christian town of Qaraqosh, 32 miles southeast of Mosul.

 According to Agence France Presse IS expelled its three resident monks, a cleric and a few families living there, ordering them to leave on foot with nothing but their clothes.

 Members of the self-proclaimed ‘Islamic Caliphate’ stormed the ancient fourth-century monastery Mar (Saint) Behnam, run by the Syriac Catholic church on Sunday July 20.

 ‘You have no place here anymore, you have to leave immediately,’ a member of the Syriac clergy quoted the Sunni militants as telling the monastery’s residents.

 According to AFP the monks walked several miles before being picked up by armed Kurdish fighters who drove them to Qaraqosh.

 The BBC reported that Syriac Catholic leaders have said priceless manuscripts, about both the history of Iraq and the Church, are now at risk in the monastery.

 Militants of IS are reported to have killed Dr. Mahmoud Al-Asali, a professor of Law at the University of Mosul on July 21.

 According to Ankawa.com, Al-Asali, a Muslim, was killed for objecting to IS looting and destroying Iraqi Christians’ possessions in Mosul, but WWM could not independently verify this.

 The office and residence of the Syrian Catholic Archbishop of Mosul, Yohanna Petros Moshe (in one building) has been burned down.

He is now in Qaraqosh where World Watch Monitor spoke to him: ‘My concern now is how to feed and shelter all the people who have fled’ he told us.

Syrian Catholic priest Nizar Semaan, who works with Archbishop Moshe, said to Agenzia Fides that the international community has a ‘disturbing passivity to what is happening in that area.’

Semaan continued, ‘For example, the time has come to include these groups in the list of terrorist organizations condemned by international bodies, and above all it is necessary to make public the names of the countries and forces that finance them. Intelligence agencies and the governments of various countries certainly know where certain weapons and money, that keep these groups going, come from. It would be enough to stop the flow for a month, and these groups would not have any more force.’

He also said it is necessary to involve leaders and followers of Sunni Islam in an effort to isolate the jihadist groups.

On Friday, the Al Qaeda splinter group IS issued an ultimatum to Iraqi Christians living in Mosul. They said by Saturday July 19 at noon (Iraqi time) they must convert to Islam, pay a fine or face ‘death by the sword.'” Read more.

Gaza: Hamas Terrorists Use Wafa Hospital To Launch Attacks Against Israeli Soldiers

07/23/2014 2 comments

When was the last time you heard Hamas warning Israeli civilians to flee in advance of an impending rocket strike, and then ensuring they did so before firing? The answer is never, because that would save innocent Israeli lives. And that would be completely un-Islamic …

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

Qur’an Sura 8:15-16 – “O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey’s end.”

Human Shields: “Hamas Wants Israel To Kill Their Children”

07/23/2014 2 comments

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) …”

And according to Islamic terrorists, “every stratagem of war” includes putting innocent men, women and children in harm’s way. If the Old Testament words of Jeremiah and David rang true against the rebelliousness of an unfaithful Israel, how much more will the Lord surely punish the wickedness of “Allah’s harlot”? …

Jeremiah 5:29, “‘Should I not punish them for this?’ declares the LORD. ‘Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?’”

Psalms 94:3, 21, 23, “How long, LORD, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant? … The wicked band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death… He will repay them for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them.”

Psalms 106:36-39, “They served their idols, which became a snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood. Thus they were defiled by their own works, and played the harlot by their own deeds.”

By Chris Mitchell, CBN News – “Seven Israeli soldiers have been killed in a confrontation with Hamas infiltrators disguised as Israeli soldiers wearing suicide belts inside the Israeli border.

The IDF killed most of these infiltrators. So far, the Israel Defense Force has destroyed more than 20 tunnels and killed nearly 200 Hamas terrorists since the start of its ground operation.

Here on the Israeli-Gaza border you can see the plumes of smoke from the fighting within Gaza city. The IDF has called up 60,000 troops in Operation Protective Edge. About 30 soldiers have died in the line of battle.

Israeli soldiers find themselves fighting an enemy that uses the same tactics as al Qaeda in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Col. Richard Kemp, who commanded British ground troops in Afghanistan, refutes the claim that Israel has committed war crimes.

‘The British forces fought against the Taliban for many years in Afghanistan,’ Kemp said. ‘They use human shields. They attempt to lure us to kill their civilian population. It’s a common theme among Islamist extremist groups in this world.’

‘Everything I’ve seen would suggest to me that Israel is not committing a war crime,’ he said. ‘Far from it. Israel is going further than most other countries in this world, going to prevent the loss of civilian innocent civilian life.’

‘The people that are committing the war crimes are Hamas who fire rockets into Israeli civilian population indiscriminately and who also use their own people as human shields,’ he continued. ‘That is a war crime.’

‘Hamas wants the Israeli Defense Force to kill their children, their women, that’s what they want to happen,’ he said. ‘They want to get the propaganda; they want to get the publicity, the sympathy and the pity of the world to by getting the Israelis to kill their population. That’s exactly what their tactic is.'” Read more.

The Qur’an Speaks: Islamists Behead Air Force Officer In Nigeria, “We Will Judge You According To The Quran”

Revelation 13:15, “And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.”

“[T]errorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an” (Sura 8:12). If this Nigerian officer was a Christian, then the Qur’an says he ought to be beheaded because of his faith. If he was a “moderate” Muslim fighting on behalf of Nigeria’s Christian President, then he ought to be beheaded because of his lack of it. For peaceful purposes …

Qur’an Sura 5:51, “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them [unbelievers]; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”

Qur’an: Sura 4:89, “Have no unbelieving friends. Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them.”

By BellaNaija – “A Nigerian Air Force Officer named Umar Abubakar was extensively interrogated before being gruesomely killed by members of Islamist militant sect Boko Haram.

In the clip released by Sahara TV, Umar revealed to the sect that he is a member of Section 9 of the Nigerian armed forces engaged in counter-insurgency measures against Boko Haram. He said his monthly pay was N40,000.

‘So you were sent to kill Boko Haram? And you are serving the state instead of Allah? We are members of Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati Wal-Jihad and Allah has given us an infidel today. No amount of prayers will save you, we will judge you according to the Quran.’ they said.

Islamists Everywhere Giving Life To The Teachings Of The Qur’an – “According to the ‘word of Allah’ anyone who rejects the teachings of Islam rejects Allah, rejects his prophet, rejects his governance and rejects his laws. Because of their repudiation, they should therefore be killed (eg. Surah 4:89-91; 5:33; 9:11). If Islamic governments, religious authorities – and even Islamist fighters like ISIS who violently impose Islamic law everywhere they spread – all ignored the Qur’an, it would be dead. But they do not ignore it. To the contrary, they breathe life into Islam by forcing the Qur’an’s dictates upon all. For them, the ‘word of Allah’ speaks loud and clear, and they will see to it that everybody hears, and listens. Or else …” Read more.

Authorities Fear Support For ISIS Caliphate Spreading Throughout Indonesia

Parasites and pathogens spread rapidly when conditions are right. And conditions are right in the Islamic world today …

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.”

By Mathias Hariyadi, AsiaNews – “Indonesian security forces ‘will not remain silent’; they will react to the growing number of supporters for radical Sunni group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), said Brigadier General Boy Rafli Amar, deputy police spokesman, who responded today to the mass ‘initiation ceremony’ organised last week in Solo (Surakarta, Central Java) by about a thousand ISIS supporters.

‘In accordance with the law,’ General Amar said, ‘every Indonesian citizen has the right to gather in a public space to express his or her beliefs and opinions, but we shall not tolerate any religiously motivated violence.’

Last week, more than a thousand people met at a mosque in Solo Baru (Sukoharjo Regency) to attend a prayer meeting hosted by the Islamic Daulah Support Forum.

After the prayer, those present declared their public support for ISIS, claiming to be ready to go to Iraq and Syria.

Afif Abdul Majid, who organised the meeting, explained that ‘not all of them agreed to be ‘initiated’, but at least half have asked to be ‘baptised’ to support the mission.’ He added that in the coming weeks such a ‘baptism’ will also be celebrated in Malang (East Java).

Gen Ansyaad Mbai, head of the anti-terrorism desk at the Ministry for Security, Legal and Foreign Affairs, warned that ISIS was drawing sympathisers from Indonesia with scores who have already left the country to fight jihad with Sunni militias in Syria and Iraq for the creation of an Islamic caliphate in the Middle East

Those who came home, the policeman said, founded a similar group in the provinces of Jakarta and East Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

Child Sacrifice: Proud Palestinian Parents Dress Baby As Suicide Bomber. Click For More Info.

By Shimon Cohen and Maayana Miskin, INN – “Wounded soldiers have given shocking testimony regarding Hamas’ use of young children as human shields.

Parents of wounded soldiers spoke to Kol Yisrael on Tuesday and shared some of the disturbing stories they had heard from their sons. They said soldiers have repeatedly seen young children in Sheijaya, Gaza, be sent out into the streets with guns to try to attack IDF troops.

One parent reported that terrorists had run at IDF soldiers with a gun in one hand and a baby in the other, apparently in hopes that the soldiers would see the child and hold their fire. If soldiers fired, the parent added, the child’s death could be used as propaganda against Israel.

‘They’re continuing the same trick of using children as human shields, just as they did in Operation Cast Lead,’ one father said. Women are used as human shields as well, he added.

He expressed frustration at figures on the Israeli far-left who have accused IDF soldiers of committing war crimes. Israel’s soldiers do everything they can to avoid hurting innocent people, he said.

The parents’ testimony joins previous evidence of similar crimes, including reports from UNRWA that a school building was used to store rockets, and a video showing terrorists using an ambulance to escape the site of an attack.

ISIS Caliphate Orders Muslim Employers To Fire All Christian Workers, Cuts Off Water To More Christians

07/22/2014 1 comment

Not only is this Beast preventing Christians from buying or selling, it is also continuing to cut off their main source of water in an effort to force all to bow down to Islam and convert. But these brothers and sisters in Christ who patiently endure will not be moved from the faith of Jesus. Although they are engaged in a flight for survival and the threat of death, the Water they drink is the fountain of everlasting life …

John 4:14, “… whoever drinks of the water that I [YESHUA] shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Isaiah 12:2-4, “Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD, the LORD, is my strength and song; and he has become my YESHU’AH. Therefore with joy you shall draw water out of the wells of YESHU’AH. In that day you will say, ‘Give thanks to the LORD! Call on HIS NAME. Declare his doings among the peoples. Proclaim that HIS NAME is exalted!’”

By Jason Motlagh, Bloomberg Businessweek – “Qaraqosh is one of the last refuges in northern Iraq for Christians fleeing persecution by the militants of Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, who swept into the region in June. A historic Christian city of 50,000 about 19 miles southeast of Mosul, Qaraqosh is under the formidable protection of the well-armed Peshmerga — the Kurdish fighters whose autonomous region disputes the area with both ISIL and the Iraqi central government based in Baghdad. Now, in a further effort to oust Christians from land they have inhabited for two millennia, the Islamic militants have begun turning off a precious utility: water.

Since taking Mosul on June 10, ISIL militants have squeezed Qaraqosh and nearby Christian villages by blocking the pipes that connect the communities with the Tigris river. Without a sufficient number of deep wells to fill the gap, the city must have water trucked in, at huge cost, from Kurdish-controlled areas just 15 miles away. Since ISIL took over key refineries in northern Iraq, the price of fuel has spiked across the region. The parched residents of Qaraqosh must pay about $10 every other day to fill up emergency water tanks, no small sum in this economically depressed part of Iraq.

Outside one of the town’s 12 churches, people queue from 6 a.m. until midnight to get their daily rations from a well. Flatbed trucks are joined by children with pushcarts and riders on bicycles bearing empty jugs. ‘Our lives revolve around water,’ says Laith, 28, a school teacher who returned with his family a day earlier from a suburb of Erbil, the Kurdish regional capital, 45 miles away, to which thousands of threatened Christians have migrated. Though aid agencies have erected several water depots around town, supplies are limited, barely enough to sustain large families in the 100-degree-plus heat. Plans to dig new wells will take at least several months to fulfill.

Christians have been fleeing ISIL-controlled territory since the militants and their allies overwhelmed the garrisons of the Baghdad government in Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city and its most Christian. The Islamic State, which sees itself as the restoration of the caliphate to rule all Muslims, immediately imposed anti-Christian rules, ordering Muslim employers to fire Christian workers. The homes of Christian religious leaders were ransacked and occupied by militants. A Christian population as old as the faith shrank from 3,000 families to several hundred in weeks.

On July 18, ISIL ordered non-Muslims to convert or pay a tax last imposed during the Ottoman empire. If not, they would face ‘death by the sword,’ according to a decree that was read out in city mosques and broadcast from loudspeakers around town.” Read more.

Illinois: Leaflets Threaten Chicago Jews Over Israel In Gaza

The leaflets reportedly threaten violence if Israel does not pull out of Gaza.

Islamic Terrorists Marked Christian Homes With

Islamic Terrorists Marked Christian Homes With “N” (Nasara in Arabic) To Identify The Home As Belonging To Nazarenes (Christians). These Homes Now Belong To The “Islamic State.”

By Tera Dahl, AINA – “The last Christian reportedly left Iraq’s second largest city of Mosul at 12:00pm on Saturday, ending over 6,000 years of Assyrian history in the city. Assyrians have lived in Mosul for over 6,000 years, converting to Christianity over 2,000 years ago. This all came to an end on Saturday, when the last Assyrian Christian left the city. On Thursday, July 17th, the Islamic State (IS) — formerly the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) — released a statement demanding the Christians in Mosul either to convert to Islam, paying the jizya (tax on non-Muslims), leave the city, or be killed. The threat was to be implemented on Saturday. It is being reported locally that by noon yesterday, every Christian had chosen to leave.

Here in Erbil, about an hour an half away from Mosul by car, I have spoken with families who were forced to flee. They describe how ISIS invaded their homes, taking whatever they wanted, and threatening to kill them. The estimates are that over 500,000 refugees have fled Mosul after Islamists took control on June 10th, and the few remaining Christians left yesterday.

One group of Christians I spoke with said that when ISIS first invaded Iraq, they portrayed themselves as armed humanitarians but then they quickly undercut that message by implementing strict Sharia law, such as making women wear the full burqa and banning all western clothing. Those Muslims who stayed behind are being forced to comply with the new puritanical laws and now they, too, are trying to leave the city.

One resident of Mosul I spoke with said, ‘It is like the Taliban in Afghanistan before the U.S. invasion.’ There, Al Qaeda created the safe-haven from which they launched the 2001 attacks of 9/11 against the United States.

Some Iraqi Christians had called on the international community to help create a protected zone in Ninevah Province so as to provide protection for all minorities around the city of Mosul and to provide protection from future attacks by IS. While the proposal for a new Ninevah Province has been submitted to the Iraqi Parliament, it was not finalized. Because of the inaction both inside Iraq and the failure of the international community to heed the threats against Christians, the majority of the refugees who have just fled Mosul remain in danger of being attacked once more by IS as it continues its jihadi blitzkrieg across Iraq and Syria.

Several people I have spoken to in Iraq reported that members of IS speak foreign languages and are not from Iraq only. One person said an IS member was speaking an Afghan language and wearing Afghani clothing. Another person said they heard dialects from Pakistan, Libya, and even English.

Everyone I have spoken with has expressed their frustration with the international community’s lack of response to the crisis facing the people of Iraq. They blamed the United States for creating the current situation and for leaving the country so quickly and so creating the vacuum for IS to exploit.” Read more.

Flashback: Obama’s Irresponsible Withdrawal From Iraq Allowed Islamist Terrorists To Drive Iraq Toward Chaos, Lawlessness – “Security inside Iraq is unraveling at an alarming pace, and al Qaeda terrorists there aren’t just pulling the thread; they’re setting it on fire. More than 1,000 Iraqis were killed in bombings and shootings last month, making July the deadliest month since violence between Sunni and Shiite Muslims peaked from 2006 to 2008, the United Nations says. On Thursday, gunmen stormed a policeman’s home in Tikrit and killed him, his wife and their three children. When neighbors later approached the house, a nearby car bomb exploded and killed eight people — a noted al Qaeda tactic …” Read more.

Flashback: Tribulation: ISIS Terrorists In Iraq Reportedly Destroy All Churches In Mosul – “Sources in Tikrit and Mosul have told AINA that ISIS has cut off water and electricity to some parts of the cities. The villages surrounding Mosul have also lost their water service, which was provided by the water purification plant in Mosul. In the Assyrian villages of Bartella and Qaraqosh, residents are now buying water at 7,000 Iraqi Dinars per cubic meter ($6.25). Village leaders are calling for relief, as the residents cannot afford to purchase water at these rates. The Arabic language website Alghadeer is reporting that ISIS has destroyed all churches in Mosul.” Read more.

By Bob Taylor, Communities Digital News – “International media remain apathetic to Christian persecution in the Middle East.

Speaking on ‘Breitbart News Saturday’ Dr. Sebastian Gorka addressed the subject after being asked by the host, Alex Marlow, why the press is not interested in the story.

Before Gorka gave his answer he called the situation ‘a Christian version of the Holocaust and nothing less.’

Gorka then went on to say that the West has done much to stand up for Muslims in the past two decades. ‘Whether it was to save the Muslims in Bosnia or the Albanians, Kosovars, and Muslims in Serbia, it is now time for a humanitarian operation to save the remaining Christians in Iraq,’ he said. ‘It is time for the American people and our representatives to do something for our co-religionists remaining in the Middle East.’

Much of Gorka’s position is based upon the fact that Muslims are relative newcomers to the religious confrontations in the Middle East and around the world. Christianity existed at least 600 years before Muhammad’s first revelation inspired Islam, but today it is Christians and Jews who are the primary targets in the region.

Gorka went on to issue a scathing criticism against the press by asserting that ‘the mainstream media are warped in terms of their world view. So when it comes to the idea of religious persecution, they say, ‘Well who really cares because I don’t believe in God. If you are not sophisticated enough to be a post-modernist secularist… tough on you!’’

As Gorka, who is the National Security Editor for Breitbart, explains, it was the in-your-face victory laps the Obama administration took about the killing of Osama bin Laden and the president’s role in personally ‘destroying’ al-Qaeda that gave rise to the formation of ISIS in Iraq and Syria…

Jihadists recognize the media’s ideology that ‘a dark skin person always has to be the victim,’ according to Garza. Islamic extremists use that knowledge heavily to their advantage to gain sympathy and to justify their violence.

Basically Islamic fundamentalism can be summed up in three words; justification, victimization and intolerance. That is the foundation of their strategy against the West.

Says Gorka, ‘Christians are politically targeted in America frequently; they are being physically targeted in Africa, Syria, and Iraq.’

Rarely do journalists and newspapers focus upon disrespect or insensitivity to Christians. Dark skinned minorities, however, are a constant narrative that frequently spurs debate for days or, even, months at a time. The Washington Redskins nickname is a prime example.” Read more.
