MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Hopefully this will never happen, but given the dark, diabolical and death-loving nature of the Islamic State, the “beasts of the earth” would likely welcome it …

Qur’an Sura 4:74, “Let those believers who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allah, and whoso fights in the Cause of Allah, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward.”

Qur’an Sura 9:111, “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties in exchange for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed … So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment.”

By Serina Sandhu, Independent – “Vladimir Putin has said he hopes nuclear warheads will not be needed to deal with Isis, after Russia launched cruise missiles from its submarine at the militant group in Syria.

During a meeting in the Kremlin, Russia’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told the President that Kalibr cruise missiles had been fired by the Rostov-on-Don submarine from the Mediterranean Sea for the first time.

President Putin said the new cruise missiles could also be equipped with nuclear warheads – but that he hoped they would ‘never be needed’.

According to Russia Today, he said: ‘We must [analyse] everything happening on the battlefield, how the weapons operate.’

‘The Kalibrs (sea-based cruise missiles) and KH-101 (airborne cruise missile) have proved to be modern and highly effective, and now we know it for sure – precision weapons that can be equipped with both conventional and special warheads, which are nuclear.

‘Naturally, this is not necessary when fighting terrorists and, I hope, will never be needed.'” Read more.

Flashback: Report: ISIS Planning Nuclear Annihilation Across The Globe To Kill ‘Several Hundred Million People’ – “Nuclear annihilation across the globe. This is what a German reporter who successfully embedded with the Islamic State says the terror group is planning. Jurgen Todenhofer released his findings in a book titled ‘Inside IS – Ten Days in the Islamic State,’ reports the UK’s Daily Express. ‘The terrorists plan on killing several hundred million people. The west is drastically underestimating the power of ISIS. ISIS intends to get its hands on nuclear weapons,’ says Todenhofer, calling the group a ‘nuclear tsunami preparing the largest religious cleansing in history.’” Read more.

Flashback: Officials: Islamic State Aggressively Pursuing Weapons Of Mass Destruction To Use Against The Enemies Of Allah – “Their quest raises an alarming scenario for the West, given the determination to strike major cities that the group showed with its bloody attack last week in Paris. U.S. intelligence officials don’t believe IS has the capability to develop sophisticated weapons like nerve gas that are most suited for a terrorist attack on a civilian target. So far the group has used mustard gas on the battlefield in Iraq and Syria. Still, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls on Thursday warned that Islamic extremists might at some point use chemical or biological weapons.” Read more.

I could say I told you so, but I won’t. The neighbor who purchased the military-grade rifles used by Syed Farook and his wife during the massacre was evidently a convert to Islam and was related to the killers by marriage. Sounds like he may have made a pledge of his own …

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 Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “The Islamic State has repeatedly called upon Muslims in the U.S. to murder American civilians. In September 2014, Islamic State spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani published a lengthy piece entitled ‘Indeed Your Lord Is Ever Watchful,’ consisting largely of a call for Muslims to mount jihad attacks in Western countries. Al-Adnani declared:

Kill the disbeliever whether he is civilian or military, for they have the same ruling. Both of them are disbelievers. Both of them are considered to be waging war [the civilian by belonging to a state waging war against the Muslims]. Both of their blood and wealth is legal for you to destroy, for blood does not become illegal or legal to spill by the clothes being worn. The civilian outfit does not make blood illegal to spill, and the military uniform does not make blood legal to spill.

‘Both San Bernardino attackers pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, officials say,’ by Missy Ryan, Adam Goldman, Abby Phillip and Julie Tate, Washington Post, December 8, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — Federal authorities believe the Facebook posting from one of the attackers who killed 14 people here last week was made on behalf of both shooters, according to several senior U.S. law enforcement officials.

The Facebook posting said, “We pledge allegiance” to the leader of the Islamic State, using the name Khalifah Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Al Qurashi, the emir of the self-proclaimed Islamic State. Some of the text in the posting appeared to be garbled, one official said.

This new detail illustrates what federal officials described Monday as the radicalization of both attackers. The FBI investigation continues to explore when the two attackers became adherents to a radical strain of Islam and who may have influenced whom, another law enforcement official said Tuesday.

“It’s looking like they were on the same path at the same time,” that official said….

Neighbor Of SB Jihadis Attended Same Mosque, Got Them Military-Grade Rifles – “The FBI remains keenly interested in a former neighbor who provided the military-grade rifles used by Syed Rizwan Farook, the 28-year-old county health inspector, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 29, during the massacre that killed 14 people and injured 21 others. The neighbor, Enrique Marquez, legally purchased the rifles — semiautomatic AR-15s manufactured by DPMS and Smith & Wesson — in California… Reports on Monday suggested that Marquez and Farook might have other connections in addition to being neighbors. An official with the Islamic Center of Corona-Norco, in Corona, Calif., the mosque Syed Farook’s brother Raheel regularly attended, said he believed that Marquez had periodically attended the center… other members he had spoken with said they recalled him occasionally praying at the mosque four or five years ago.” Read more.

Maybe they’ll ignore all the teachings of their infallible “prophet” once they realize that Obama modified the US Oath Of Allegiance to better conform with Islamic law and quietly recruited Muslims to serve as US diplomats. Perhaps they’ll even find a way to comfortably “accept” Christianity without having to renounce their Islamic background, just like Obama …

By Julian Hattem, The Hill – “Intelligence officials have determined that Islamic extremists have explored using the refugee program to enter the United States, the head of the House Homeland Security Committee said on Monday.

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) declined to go into detail about the determination, which the Obama administration has not announced publicly.

Yet the disclosure could add ammunition to critics of the White House’s refugee plans who have warned that the program is vulnerable to infiltration by adherents of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

‘ISIS members in Syria have attempted to exploit it to get into the United States,’ McCaul said during a speech at the National Defense University.

‘The U.S. government has information to indicate that individuals tied to terrorist groups in Syria have already attempted to gain access to our country through the U.S. refugee program.’

McCaul would not say specifically who informed him and other lawmakers about the revelation, only describing the sources as ‘elements of the intelligence community.’

‘That was very courageous for them to come forward with this, to tell me about this personally, given the political debate on the Hill,’ he added, suggesting that the news did not come from intelligence leaders.

The briefing happened ‘earlier this week,’ McCaul said.

The White House would not confirm or deny McCaul’s claim, instead referring reporters to his office to explain where he got the information.

A spokesman with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence also declined to comment on the record about the assertion.

McCaul’s speech comes amid escalating concerns about Islamic extremism in the West, following the killings of 130 people in Paris and 14 in San Bernardino, Calif. The massacres have caused American fears about terrorism to spike, and left Congress grasping for a response.

President Obama has repeatedly pushed back against warnings that ISIS could attack the United States by sending over fighters as refugees.

The Syrian civil war has killed more than 200,000 people since it began in 2011, and forced more than 4 million refugees to flee.” Read more.

Flashback: Report: Violent Crimes By “Refugees” Skyrocketing Across America – “A Channel 2 Action News investigation uncovered refugees deported from the United States at a skyrocketing rate for violent crimes. That includes refugees deported from Georgia. The terrorist attacks in Paris put a big spotlight on refugees around the country. To get into the U.S., each went through a vetting process that took two years. But experts and elected leaders called Investigative Reporter Aaron Diamant’s research a game changer… ‘I do think that the public and policymakers should be concerned about these findings,’ Vaughn said. ‘Refugees face more screening that any other immigrant group, but this demonstrates that even in the refugee category, we are not able to screen out all the individuals who pose a threat to our communities.’” Read more.

Sounds like the “prophet” of Islam would have been proud, right? So, what is a “good Muslim”? Let’s confer to Mohammed himself for the answer. If the holiest book in Islam is any indication, a “good Muslim” is one who pursues, fights against, strives against, is ruthless against, sieges, slays, strikes fear into the hearts of, and terrorizes non-Muslims to either subjugate or annihilate for the cause of Allah (read the verses here). The “prophet” Mohammed, having been “made victorious with terror” (Sahih al-Bukhari 2977), was evidently a “good” Muslim himself and is the “excellent example” in whom all Muslims are encouraged to follow (Qur’an 33:21). Thus, if following the conduct and commands of Mohammed make you a good Muslim, and if Mohammed’s conduct and commands call for violence and terror, then Syed Farook proved himself a very “good Muslim” indeed …

Hadith, Bukhari 2977, “I have been made victorious with terror” – The “Prophet” Of Islam, Mohammed

Qur’an Sura 3:151, “… cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve …”

Hadith, Bukhari 52:54, “[Mohammed said] I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.”

Qur’an Sura 4:80, “He who obeys the Messenger [Mohammed] has obeyed Allah …”

By Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch – “As the chasm between the Obama/media view of Islamic jihad as having nothing to do with Islam and reality grows ever wider.

‘Online Dating Profile Provides Closer Look at Calif. Killer — and Lists His Political Identification,’ by Oliver Darcy, The Blaze, December 4, 2015:

An online dating profile appearing to have once belonged to San Bernardino killer Syed Farook provides new insight into his life.

In the Arab Lounge dating account, Farook described himself as an “Allah fearing, calm thought full [sic] and simple man.”

“I am born and raised here, I try to live as a good Muslim, looking for a girl who has the same outlook, wear hijab, but live the life to the fullest, be my partner for snow boarding, to go out and eat with friends, go camping, working on cars with me. Also be calm cool thought full, love to spend time with friends and family,” he wrote.

It was previously reported that Farook traveled overseas where he met his wife online, but it was not clear exactly when his Arab Lounge account had been created.

Farook listed his political views as “very liberal,” contrary to the predictions of many analysts and journalists who initially guessed as news of the attack unfolded that he’d be of Republican or libertarian persuasion.

When asked to name the “most important thing in a relationship,” Farook said his partner would need to be “guided by and as written in Islam.”

Surprised? Don’t be. That’s precisely what even “moderate” Islam teaches …

Hadith, Saheeh Muslim 2889, “Verily Allah has shown me the eastern and western part of the earth, and I saw the authority of my Ummah (Islamic nation) dominate all that I saw.”

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

Qur’an Sura 9:30, “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!”

Some bystanders began yelling “You’re not Muslim!” at the attacker after the attempted murder. But little do the willingly ignorant know that not only is this would-be killer a Muslim, but a Muslim who is superior to other Muslims who “sit at home” and do nothing for the cause of Allah, according to the Qur’an …

Qur’an Sura 4:95, “Not equal are those believers [Muslims] who sit at home and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit at home …”

By Alix Culbertson, Sunday Express – “A ‘MACHETE-WIELDING’ man has slashed a man’s throat at a station in London as he shouted ‘this is for Syria’, witnesses claim.

A man was stabbed in the ticket hall at Leytonstone station this evening by another man who witnesses say shouted ‘This is for Syria’ as he slashed his throat.

Another three are thought to have been injured.

The Met Police said its counter-terrorism command unit is now investigating the incident.

Police said they used a taser on the suspect as he threatened others with a knife, before they managed to arrest him.

The victim was rushed to hospital in a serious condition with multiple stab wounds, paramedics said.

Frightened witnesses described how their normal Saturday night-out turned into a horror show.

One said the victim was an ‘elderly’ man with a younger female family member while another said the man had a long knife, which looked like a machete.” Read more.

By Tracy Bloom, KTLA 5 – “A mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino that left 14 dead and 21 others injured was being investigated as an act of terrorism, the FBI announced Friday.

‘As of today, based on the information and the facts as we know them, we are now investigating these horrific acts as an act of terrorism,’ Dave Bowdich of the FBI said at a Friday morning news conference.

Bowdich added that federal investigators have uncovered evidence that pointed to extensive planning ahead of the deadly attack.

The declaration came two days after Syed Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 28, stormed into the center, spraying a room full of holiday partygoers with bullets.

Fourteen victims were killed in the attack and 21 were injured.

Farook and Malik, who were married, were killed in a police shootout later that day.” Read more.

CNN – “Investigators think that as the San Bernardino, California, attack was happening, female shooter Tashfeen Malik posted a pledge of allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Facebook, three U.S. officials familiar with the investigation told CNN.

Malik’s post was made on an account with a different name, one U.S. official said. The officials did not explain how they knew Malik made the post.

A law enforcement official said it appeared that Wednesday’s attack — which left 14 people dead and 21 wounded before the two attackers, Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, were killed in a shootout with police — may have been inspired by ISIS. But none of the officials said that ISIS directed or ordered the attack.

‘This is looking more and more like self-radicalization,’ a law enforcement official said.

Another official said authorities haven’t ruled out that others may have influenced this radical view…

Farook and Malik ‘kept to themselves,’ Abuershaid said. But the interactions they did have didn’t hint at any significant changes in their thinking or demeanor, any turn to Islamist extremism, or any sign they were plotting a mass killing, the lawyer said.

‘There was nothing to show that (Malik) was extreme at all,’ Abuershaid said. ‘(And Farook) was a normal guy, in every sense of the word.'” Read more.
