ISIS Leader: ‘Islam Is the Religion of War’

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has released a call to arms which asks Muslims everywhere to physically join ISIS in the area it now controls or simply take up the struggle against unbelievers wherever they are.

The title of the message “March Forth Whether Heavy or Light” comes from a verse in the Koran which calls on believers to “strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah.” In Baghdadi’s view that striving is ISIS’s war against unbelievers.

“O Muslims, Islam was never for a day the religion of peace. Islam is the religion of war,” al-Baghdadi says, according to an English language transcript of the speech promoted by ISIS-affiliated social media accounts. The transcript, which was posted online at Downrange, portrays Islam’s Muhammad as a warrior:

    Where are you in relation to your Prophet (peace be upon him), whom you claim to emulate, and who spent his whole life (peace be upon him) as a mujāhid for the cause of Allah, fighting His enemies? His lateral incisor tooth was broken in battle, his forehead was wounded, two rings from his chainmail cut his cheeks, his helmet was broken on his head, and blood ran down his face.

Baghdadi frames the necessity of war against unbelievers as a religious duty but also as a necessity, saying, “the Jews, the Christians, and the rest of the disbelievers will not approve of you nor abandon waging war against you until you follow their religion and apostatize from yours.” The only place of safety in this global war between Muslims and unbelievers, Baghdadi says, is with ISIS:

    This war is only against you and against your religion. Has the time not come for you to return to your religion and your jihād and thereby bring back your glory, honor, rights, and leadership? Has the time not come for you to know that there is no might nor honor nor safety nor rights for you except in the shade of the Caliphate?… Therefore, O Muslims, seek shelter – after Allah – with the Islamic State.

The final pages of the letter are devoted to praise for the so-called “lions of the Caliphate” who are already fighting for ISIS around the world. In addition to numerous areas within Iraq and Syria, Baghdadi mentions fighters in Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Yemen, and West Africa.

Last month, sources claimed Baghdadi had been seriously injured by an airstrike in Iraq sometime in March. Baghdadi was reportedly recovering but unable to maintain daily control of the terrorist group, however, those reports were not confirmed by U.S. officials. The audio message released Thursday is being viewed by some analysts as proof that Baghdadi (injured or not) is still leading the group.

According to the Iraqi military, ISIS’s 2nd in command Abu Alaa al-Afri was killed in an airstrike this week. That report appears to have been unsupported by any verifiable facts, and U.S. officials are said to be skeptical.

We need to believe this nut job.    Our security and way of life demand it.

And, his honesty is a bit refreshing, with a tinge of horrifying.

So, so true.

Would love to wake up tomorrow morning to read that Uncle Vladmir used a Neutron Bomb on them.

Go in with the wheelbarrow. Clean it out.   Bet he'd pay $15 per hour.

They tell us who they are and what they will do to us...and when they murder our people, our Senate passes resolutions defending them...our leaders - in both parties - conduct orgies of defense for their religion.  We think we can parse Muslims, good from bad, like we parse sentences. When it is the religion itself that is evil...its adherents say so themselves and relish it.  And what do we do in response: we show them that we are weak and that we will not do what's necessary to stop them...we will continue to try and win with half-measures and quarter-measures.  We are more concerned with our politically correct sensibilities than we are with survival.

It's going to take Putin to get it done...no one in the current American government (except Cruz) will do anything but run to the microphone to declare what a wonderful religion Islam is.

Thanks for the heads-up.

If I had known that the guy who just put in the granite in my kitchen--Mohammed Boro--was a terrorist, I never would have let him in the house.  And he gave me such a good deal.  Gave treats to my dogs, too.  Better keep an eye on them.

Why don't you throw him a baby shower?  If it came to a decision between supporting his murderous religion and supporting America, you better not put too much credence in those dog biscuits.

Like I said, thanks.  He's been in the tile business for 18 years, so he's got plenty of places for pipe bombs.  Damn!  Why didn't I think of that?

He told me he was Muslim but, you know what?  He must be trying to hide it because he didn't ONCE stop, in three days, to roll out his prayer rug and pray.

You're onto something, Scott. I need to be more vigilant.

LOL!  Can't help but remember when the topic during the GWB years was "Jose Gonzales"....the guy who just cut my lawn".  He gave better deals too!
