The caliphate is gone from Iraq and Syria, but the caliphate dreamers remain a global threat.
“ISIS claims first attack in DR Congo, saying it killed soldiers near Uganda border,” by Joanne Stocker, The Defense Post, April 18, 2019:
Islamic State on Thursday, April 18 claimed that it killed Congolese soldiers in an attack in Kamango near the border between Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
A message posted by its Amaq propaganda agency said there were Congolese army “dead and wounded” following an attack by ISIS fighters in the town of Kamango near the border.
In a later statement, ISIS said “soldiers of the Caliphate” had attacked an army base in the village of Bovata, roughly 5 km (3 miles) from Komango in Beni region, “where they clashed with small and medium weapons.” Three Congolese army soldiers were killed and five others injured, the group claimed.
If confirmed, it would be the first attack in DR Congo that ISIS central has acknowledged.
Citing U.N. peacekeeping and civil society sources, Reuters reported that two Congolese soldiers and a civilian were killed in clashes in Bovata on Tuesday. The sources said witnesses had blamed the Allied Democratic Forces for the attack.
ISIS ascribed the attack to “Central Africa Province,” the first time the group has named an affiliate in the region. As in some other areas, Islamic State did not have an official wilayat, or province, in DR Congo, but had tentative links to the Allied Democratic Forces, a Ugandan-led militant group founded in 1995 with the stated goal of overthrowing the Ugandan government and creating an Islamic state.
Some time after 2012, the ADF adopted the Madina at Tauheed Wau Mujahedeen (MTM) – the City of Monotheism and Holy warriors, according to the Congo Research Group, which has argued the ADF has been “making a tentative attempt to align itself with other militant Islamist groups.”…

So now ISIS claims its first jihad massacre in the nation known as the ‘Democratic Republic of the Congo.’ this violence of murderous madness by ISIS is based on the Islamic ideology of the jihad. The very foundation of this jihad ideology of violence and killing for Islam is the theology of the Quran . This is the root evil of Islamic terrorism. To be even more specific, the Quran is the foundation of Muslim terrorism.
The murderous ISIS jihad violence is based on the “holy book” of Islam the Koran, or as some call this religious book the Quran : “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists, as those of ISIS, use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. There, the answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

Most likely so.
Queer’an reads like a set of jumbled copying of other people’s scripture, made up stories and proclamations, and excuses for war booty. Mohamhead was as much of a frat boy seeking fame and fortune as the charlatan Joseph Smith. But the followers of Mo had murderous intent to spread the dread.

Jacob Rees-Mogg must be turning in his grave at all this anti islamic criticism at JW.
Oh wait!
I have it wrong:the old ,conservative,fossil is still alive in Britainistan
“Anti islamic comments have no place in society” he said;but is it OK to criticize islamic supremacists like islamic state…or is that just being “islamophobic”?
Are Anti-islamic state comments “islamophobic”?
Old,tiresome,political fossils who want to stifle free speech:THEY are the ones who should have no place in society.Perhaps his lordship should read the violently antisemitic koran….

Wasn’t the mouth of the Congo one of the places where Muslims enslaved and sold black Africans as early as the 15th century? Where is the verse about reconquering every place that had ever been ruled by Muslims, I can’t find it right now?

Muslims dream of continuing the world conversion to islam…continuing muhammad’s rampage he started those many centuries ago….
I’ve lived long enough to see empires such as Germany and Japan, with their thoughts of world conquest and how the civilized world came together to destroy these, then help to restore them to society. Those wars lasted only a few years before they were put down and today we have this so called ideological war machine that has been campaigning these many centuries and JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE CLASSIFIED AS A RELIGION the civilized world still allows their oral , written and actual activity to continue..It is mind boggling.
I have seen other wars against regimes that were not finished but should have been and not finishing the job has daydreaming devastation.
Thinking back on the powerful European religious activity many centuries ago and how it faded away as did the Roman Empire …and as did many others …Why has islam been allowed to stand??The simple answer is RELIGION.
