“And we prescribed for them in it, Life for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and retaliation for injuries. But whoever forgoes it, this will be expiation for him. Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such people are wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 5:45)
“ISIS calls for jihad in Europe to avenge Muslim deaths in the Gaza Strip,” Meir Amit Intelligence and Information Center, September 4, 2024:
Overview
- On August 29, 2024, an editorial in the ISIS al-Nabā’ weekly called on Muslims in Europe to carry out “lone wolf” attacks on Jews and Christians in retaliation for the war in the Gaza Strip and European governmental support for Israel.
- The editorial was published in the wake of two terrorist attacks, one in Germany and the other Russia, for which ISIS claimed responsibility, stating they were carried out “to avenge the Muslims in Palestine.”
Editorial Encourages Terrorist Attacks in Europe
- On August 29, 2024, Issue #458 of ISIS’ weekly al-Nabā’ magazine published an editorial entitled “Jihad in Europe” calling for lone wolf attacks on Jews and Christians in Europe. It came after two attacks in Germany and Russia on August 23, 2024, for which ISIS claimed responsibility, relating them to the war in the Gaza Strip (see Appendices A and B for information about the attacks). The article said the following (al-Nabā’, August 29, 2024):
- Protests and demonstrations in Europe against Western governments which support Israel are ineffective. The most effective mode of action is to carry out jihad “lone wolf” attacks on Jews and Christians (“Crusaders”), especially in support of Muslims who are unable to wage jihad” in “Palestine.”
- The attacks in Germany and Russia were in revenge for harm done to Muslims in “Palestine,” Iraq, Syria, Bosnia and other places, and prove that Muslims are united and determined to avenge their religious brothers without national or other differences.
- Muslims are called on to attack Jewish neighborhoods, synagogues and pubs [sic], to kill and burn the Jews. Jews and Christians in Europe can be attacked with simple weapons such knives and hammers, since local security personnel find it difficult to identity and investigate that type of attack.
- The article criticized Arab regimes which protect their Jews and Christians….

“Islamic State calls for jihad massacres in Europe to avenge deaths of Muslims in Gaza”
Hmm, so the Europeans haven’t groveled enough yet, and haven’t become quite anti-Semitic enough yet?
Hard to believe, because Europe is pretty much becoming a Muslim sh*thole.

“And we prescribed for them in it, Life for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and retaliation for injuries. But whoever forgoes it, this will be expiation for him. Whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such people are wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 5:45)
Huh? Doesn’t the second sentence cancel out the first sentence? It says,”if you don’t take retaliation, that’s okay too..
Peter Burrows says
Good point. I looked and Mawdudi has this translation: ” —But whosoever foregoes it by way of charity, it will be for him an expiation.” Kahn-Hilali also agrees. Still confusing. Since when do Muslims get to choose between “prescribed” and “charity”?
Mike says
Imagine if a radical Christian pastor or group called for “lone wolf” terrorist attacks against Muslims, to avenge the many thousands of Christians who are being genocided and oppressed in Africa, mostly by Muslim militias.
And then there’s the matter of Christians who are bring persecuted, raped and murdered by Muslims in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt and even in Indonesia.
Daesh are so ignorant, they don’t realize that there are Muslims who serve in the IDF, as well as Druze, Christians and other non-Jews. So, will Daesh call for “lone-wolf” attacks against all Muslims for that??

This is a link to a video from Reuters and they use imagery to verify the date when the trench was dug and the people were murdered by al qaeda.

No humans are stepping forward to avenge them, but Paul told the Thessalonian Christians, and with his letter, any today who read his words, that Jesus will avenge their deaths, along with all of the others.
Warning to any who would be too traumatized by seeing the many dead bodies.

Islamic State calls for jihad massacres in Europe to avenge deaths of Muslims in Gaza
…………………………………………
Where to start? FIrstly, not all Europeans think that Israelis shoould be able to defend themselves against Hamas.
Then, what about alll of the other Europeans murdered by pious Muslims, long before Israel was defending herself in Gaza? What were they all for?
Why not just admit you want to murder unbelievers, and don’t believe that *any* Infidel has the right to defend themselves against Jihad terror?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I’m pretty sure that whenever they’re messaging to their people in Arabic or Urdu or Turkish, that is their message: that they simply wanna murder infidels in the name of jihad. The part about avenging the Gaza deaths are just there in English or French or Spanish for Western consumption
John Smith says
Correct Gravenimage and Infidel, they just want to murder us all, and they’ll use any excuse to do it.
gravenimage says
True, Infidel and John. This is for Western consumption
abu taleb says
But the infidels can not take revenge on murders by the muslims. It is always one way direction murder, muslims can kill the infidels for almost every reason, but the infidel can not kill any muslim for any reason.
gravenimage says
So true–we cannot even defend against Jihad terror as pious Muslims would have it.
OLD GUY says
Why do you think all these young muslim/islamic men migrated to your country. They are the invading enemy and will attack and destroy your society and country.
gravenimage says
Yes, OLD GUY–this is a Hijira.
