MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Qur’an Sura 4:76a, “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah …”

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “‘It wasn’t taught to me that Islam is peace and there’s no fighting.’ Why not? We are forced to believe that on pain of charges of ‘hate’ — so how did he happen to miss this all-important lesson?

Pamela Geller has excerpts:

I was already a jihadi [while in the UK] I understood I was on the jihadi path. Where it all began? It began from the book. And I read this and in there you see what jihad is about.I used to be scared of the word jihad, I once went to my sister when I was young I said to her, I saw it in the book and it said fighting. And my sister said to me jihad means what you have in your heart, what you did in your heart.

This is what I was taught. It wasn’t taught to me that Islam is peace and there’s no fighting.

It is peace but it requires fighting.

The duty of a Muslim is to love jihad.

One of the sayings of the prophet peace be upon him whoever does not go jihad or doesn’t even talk about it dies with the characteristic of of hypocrisy.

I am actually a Muslim following the way I should be.

Revelation 13:15-18, “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. And it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate [‘psēphizō’ – reckon] the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is χξς.”

By Mary Chastain, Breitbart – “In July, Christian teenager Hajja was picking corn in Gwoza, which is in the northeastern region of Nigeria, when the radical Muslim terrorist group Boko Haram, who control that region, kidnapped her. One of the men held a knife to her throat and told her he would kill her if she did not convert to Islam.

Reuters interviewed Hajja on November 6, 2013 and reported the terrorist group is now kidnapping Christian women and force them to be slave brides for their fighters. The group’s name means ‘Western education is forbidden’ and wants to make Nigeria an Islamic state. They slaughter anyone associated with the West or Christianity. The United States finally designated them a terrorist group on Wednesday. Michael Yohanna, a councilor in Gwoza’s local government, said there are many teenagers like Hajja held captive by Boko Haram.

The three months Hajja spent as the slave of a 14-strong guerrilla unit, cooking and cleaning for them before she escaped, give a rare glimpse into how the Islamists have changed tack in the face of Nigerian military pressure.”I can’t sleep when I think of being there,” the 19-year-old told Reuters, recounting forced mountain marches, rebel intelligence gathering – and watching her captors slit the throats of prisoners Hajja had helped lure into a trap.

A man called Ibrahim Tada Nglayike led the group Hajja was with. On one mission, Hajja was sent to stand in a field near a village to attract the attention of civilians working with the army. When five men approached her, they were ambushed.

“They took them back to a cave and tied them up. They cut their throats, one at a time,” Hajja said. “I thought my heart would burst out of my chest, because I was the bait.”

Among those who did the killing was the Muslim wife of the leader Nglayike, the only other woman in the band of fighters.

The Nigerian government, with help from the locals, set off an offensive in May and pushed the group to the Mandara mountains, which run along the Cameroon border. They took her to the mountains and slept in the caves.

She ceremonially converted to Islam, cooked for the men, carried ammunition during an attack on a police outpost and was about to be married to one of the insurgents before she managed to engineer a dramatic escape. She says she was not raped.”If I cried, they beat me. If I spoke, they beat me. They told me I must become a Muslim but I refused again and again,” Hajja told Reuters in an interview. Her family name is withheld to protect relatives still living in the Gwoza area.

“They were about to slaughter me and one of them begged me not to resist and just before I had my throat slit I relented. They put a veil on me and made me read from the Koran,” she said in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, where she is now living.

She told Reuters the men were armed with AK-47 rifles and pistols and would constantly move during the day to avoid being seen. They did use phones but listened to the BBC and Voice of America on a radio. The men would cheer when the journalists spoke about Boko Haram attacks.” Read more.

And what goal would that be? They’ve already told us that, too. Aside from destroying the “corrupt” House of Saud, their goal is to also annihilate Israel and spread Islam all throughout the world for the cause of “Allah” and his “prophet” …

Qur’an Sura 8:39, “And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah.”

By Reza Kahlili, The Daily Caller – “As the world’s 5+1 powers resumed nuclear negotiations with Iran in Geneva on Wednesday, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei attacked Israel and the U.S., saying the Islamic regime is using those negotiations as a gimmick to get stronger.

Khamenei, in a speech to thousands of commanders of the Basij militia, which has been suppressing millions of Iranians seeking freedom from the mullahs’ rule, referred to the negotiations and said: ‘Some have translated [Iran’s] ‘heroic flexibility’ [in] stepping back from goals and values of the Islamic regime [to achieve a nuclear settlement] and some enemies based on this have claimed retreat by the Islamic Republic.’

However, Khamenei said, that is a ‘misunderstanding.’

‘The ‘heroic flexibility’ means an artistic maneuver and the use of different tactics to reach different goals and ideals of the Islamic regime,’ he said. Stalling tactics for more than a decade have allowed Iran to greatly enhance its nuclear capability, allowing to mobilize as a fully-armed nuclear nation within weeks.

Khamenei had previously supported the negotiations by the regime’s new government under President Hassan Rouhani and talked of ‘heroic flexibility,’ implying that the regime will give up some ability of its nuclear program.

However, as the Daily Caller previously reported, the Iranian delegate demanded U.S. and Western recognition of Iran’s right to nuclear enrichment and the removal of major sanctions on its banking and oil industries, which have paralyzed the Islamic regime’s economy. In return, Iran offered only to stop its uranium enrichment at the 20 percent level, a level that is much higher than needed for peaceful purposes.

‘The holy Quran necessitates this decree for all prophets, faithful and the ordinary people where all of us must answer in the face of our covenant to God,’ Khamenei said. ‘[B]ased on the clear decree in the Quran, this covenant [is] to stand against the enemy in the fronts of military, political and economy and also not back down from the enemy.’

Khamenei called Israel a ‘rabid dog,’ ‘unclean,’ ‘illegitimate’ and ‘a bastard.’

‘The Zionist regime is destined to destruction, because this miserable regime was imposed [on the Middle East] based upon force, and no imposed phenomenon can last,’ he said.” Read more.

He further said that ‘when the entire world is armed with nuclear weapons, it is permissible to use these weapons as a counter-[measure].

By Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik, PMW – “A Fatah official based in Lebanon recently explained that Yasser Arafat was involved in ‘all liberation movements in the world; in South America, in Asia, in Africa, and had a part in all these revolutions.’ The official, Fatah’s Director of Communications in Lebanon Rifat Shanaah, claimed that Arafat ‘taught them’ that Israel is ‘the racist entity, the enemy of all nations of the world’ and that ‘it bears responsibility for insecurity everywhere because Israel exists in order to create conflicts – sectarian and ethnic conflicts in the Middle East.’

This message of Israel and the Jews being a danger to humanity is not new in official PA and Fatah discourse. Earlier this year, Palestinian Media Watch documented that PA TV had two young girls recite a poem with the words: ‘Oh Sons of Zion, oh most evil among creations.’ In 2011, a PA-funded educational magazine for children published an essay written by a teenage girl that depicted Hitler heroically because he ‘killed the Jews’ because they ‘are a nation which spreads destruction all over the world.’ In January this year, PA TV broadcast a documentary explaining that European countries wanted to get rid of the Jews because ‘Europe could not bear their (the Jews’) character traits, monopolies, corruption…’ and stated that ‘later the Jews obtained the Balfour Declaration, and Europe saw it as an ideal solution to get rid of them.’

Earlier this year, Jibril Rajoub said that Israel ‘threatens the world’s peace‘:

‘The world today has begun to be convinced that we (Palestinians) are a victim and that they (Israelis) are the criminals and hangmen. Under the rays of the sun Israel has been revealed to be a foreign and threatening body that threatens the region’s independence, threatens the world’s peace and threatens the world’s values and interests.'” Read more.

By Adam Kredo, The Washington Free Beacon – “Iranian military forces launched a series of ‘massive military drills’ across nine provinces on Wednesday following an order by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to state media reports.

The drills, codenamed ‘Towards Jerusalem,’ will continue over the coming days and throughout the rest of the year.

At least three battalions of Iran’s ‘fast reaction’ Basij Force participated in the drills, which come as Western nations and Iran try to finalize a deal aimed at halting the country’s contested nuclear program.

A lieutenant commander of one of the volunteer fighting battalions said that the drills are meant to show off Iran’s ability to confront enemies at key points across the country, according to Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency.

‘The main purpose for these war games is to retain preparedness and increase the combat capability of the forces to confront any possible move by domestic and foreign enemies,’ Hossein Karimi, lieutenant commander of the Golestan’s Neynava Corps, was quoted as saying.

Additional fighting brigades will enter the war games over the next few days and at other points throughout the year, according to Karimi.

State-run media published multiple pictures of the armed Iranian forces battling through explosions and taking enemy forces hostage.

The ‘Towards Jerusalem’ military drills began on the same day that Iran dispatched a destroyer, helicopter carrier warship, and heavy submarine to East Asian waters.

These military maneuvers also come just a day after back-to-back blasts at the Iranian Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, killed 23 and wounded more than 100 others.

Iranian officials immediately blamed Israel for the attack, despite an al Qaeda-affiliated group having publicly claimed responsibility.

Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei threatened to crush Iran’s enemies during a Wednesday address to some 50,000 fighters.

Khamenei singled out Israel in particular, calling it a scourge on the region.” Read more.

NOW – “The twin suicide bombings that hit close to the Iranian embassy in Beirut on Tuesday morning signal the beginning of a series of similar attacks, a Kuwaiti daily reported Thursday.

The suicide attacks were ‘just the beginning of a process of applying the Iraqi model to Lebanon,’ sources close to the Shiite group Hezbollah told Al-Rai newspaper.

The sources also expect a rise in such attacks in Lebanon ‘similar to what is happening in Iraq.’

They added that ‘similarly to Iraq as well,’ the attacks will not change the policy of the government, and will only succeed in creating a high number of casualties.

The Hezbollah sources also warned that simultaneous suicide attacks could occur in separate locations ‘to create confusion on the ground.’

They pointed out that Druze and Christian areas in Lebanon, as well as Palestinian refugee camps, have become a ‘welcoming environment’ for Takfiri groups who have crossed the border into Lebanon to take part in terrorist attacks.

Meanwhile, sources close to the pro-Western March 14 coalition said in remarks published by Kuwaiti daily Al-Anbaa that its members were taking precautionary measures as they fear retaliatory attacks against them.

They added that similar measures were also taken by Arab and foreign embassies in Lebanon.

Two explosions rocked southern Beirut Tuesday morning near the Iranian embassy, killing at least 23 people and injuring 146 others.” Read more.

INN Op-Ed: The Most Deadly Middle East Conflict Is Shia Vs.Sunni (And Israel Is Their Punching Bag) – “Iran’s behavior totally fits with the history of the battle between Shi’a and Sunna: the Iranian, Shi’ite Ayatollahs’ sweetest dream is to control Mecca and Medina, so that they can throw the Sunni Wahhabis out of these Islamic holy places, and restore the Shi’ites, the descendants of Ali, the fourth caliph, to power.This is the basis for the great hostility between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and the sense of a great and real threat that Saudi Arabia feels these days because of the Iranian military nuclear project. Israel is a punching bag for both streams of Islam… both sides compete against each other in the struggle for religious legitimacy, because each side wants to present itself as the better jihad fighter against the Jews.” Read more.

FNA – “A Saudi militant doctor has killed himself during a suicide attack on Syrian soldiers in Northern province of Aleppo, sources close to the Syria militants reported.

The Asia News Website reported on Tuesday that Moshari al-Anzi, a Saudi heart surgeon and one of the first people who came to fight in the more than two-and-half year bloody conflict, killed himself in a suicide attack on the Day of Ashura (November 13).

The website quoted sources close to the militants that Anzi, who picked the name Abu Samak al-Jarzawi worked in field hospitals during his presence in Syria.

According to the source, he had applied before to take part in the battles but his requests were denied because of the need for doctors.

However he managed to steel a bomb-laden car during an offensive against Syrian soldiers near Aleppo and killed himself.

He is the second Saudi doctor who has died in Syria, fighting alongside other foreign militants.

Many from Europe, the Middle East and North Africa have been influenced by Al-Qaeda and other extremist groups to enter Syria and fight to overthrow the Syrian government.” Read more.

Flashback: What Makes A Doctor Become A Terrorist? – “Today, the international jihadi flotsam and jetsam are flocking to Syria, where, in their typically parasitic fashion, they have attached themselves to the rebel fight against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad… They are there to support the global Muslim umma — the community of believers — to which they feel far greater loyalty than the mere nation they operate in … British photographer John Cantlie and a Dutch colleague were held hostage for a week by 40 rebel fighters, 15 of them British Islamist extremists who spoke English with Midlands and South London accents. Both hostages were shot during an escape bid … Disturbingly, their wounds were treated by an Anglo-Pakistani doctor who claimed he had taken a two-year sabbatical from his NHS post in Britain so as to wage jihad … The presence of a medical doctor in a terrorist camp should not surprise us.
