Approximately two months after the Islamic State (IS) published a video depicting its members slaughtering 21 Coptic Christians in Libya, on Sunday, April 19, the Islamic jihadi organization released another video of more Christians in Libya being massacred, this time for not paying jizya—extortion money demanded of the “People of the Book” according to Koran 9:29. Two scenes […]
Islamic State in Libya murders Ethiopian Christians
“A masked fighter wielding a pistol says Christians must convert to Islam or pay a special tax prescribed by the Quran, before the captives in the south are shown being shot dead and the captives in the east are beheaded on a beach.” “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last […]
U.S. fears Islamic State is making serious inroads in Libya
Besides Libya, “Islamic State has also endorsed, or received expressions of loyalty, from other militants around the region, including factions based in Nigeria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.” U.S. analysts, however, forbidden as they are by Obama Administration policy to examine the beliefs, motives and goals of the jihadis, have no idea why […]
5,000 foreign Muslims flock to Libya, heeding Islamic State’s call for jihadis
How odd that none of these 5,000 Muslims stopped and thought, “Wait a minute. John Kerry and David Cameron say that the Islamic State is not Islamic. I guess I better not join it after all.” “5,000 Foreign Fighters Flock to Libya as ISIS Call for Jihadists,” by Jack Moore, Newsweek, March 3, 2015: Over […]
Ex-Ottawa imam tells Libyans “jihad today is simple and easily accessible”
When Abdu Albasset Egwilla was in Ottawa, did he preach the same kind of thing? Why wouldn’t he have? And where are the people who heard him and heeded his words now? “Former Ottawa imam surfaces in video telling Libyans ‘jihad today is simple and easily accessible,’” by Stewart Bell, National Post, March 13, 2015 […]
Libya: Islamic State jihadis murder at least 40 people, injure 70 in series of jihad suicide bombings
“The bombings in the town of Qubba, which is controlled by Libya’s internationally recognized government, solidified concerns the extremist group has spread beyond the battlefields of Iraq and Syria and established a foothold less than 500 miles from the southern tip of Italy.” No kidding, really? “Islamic State militants kill dozens in suicide bombings in […]
Islamic State in Libya burns musical instruments as un-Islamic
When I have pointed out that Sharia forbids music, I’ve been excoriated as a greasy Islamophobe. Unfortunately, the Islamic State appears to have been reading Islamophobic literature. Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance.” (The Hadith Qudsi, or […]
Islamic State cites “grievances” in slaughter of 21 Copts
Islamic jihadis never fail to find an excuse to slaughter innocent Christians. For example, as discussed here, secular Western actions that have nothing to do with Christianity are often enough to provoke Muslims to blame, locate, and attack Christian minorities in their midst as way of “retribution.” Now, as shown in a new video, the Islamic […]
Islamic State: “Great reward” for killing Coptic Christians
The following excerpt from the Islamic State captures well the perverse logic that its many members and even more sympathizers operate under. It recently appeared in an Islamic State report explaining why the jihadis executed 21 Coptic Christian workers abducted in (post- “Arab Spring”) Libya. The justification begins by positioning the 2010 Islamic raid on the Our Lady […]
Egypt bombs Islamic State targets in Libya after jihadis behead 21 Egyptian Christians
If it weren’t for Barack Obama, there wouldn’t be any Islamic State targets in Libya. If Barack Obama had his way, the Muslim Brotherhood would still be in power in Egypt, and Egypt would not have undertaken this strike. “Egypt bombs Islamic State targets in Libya after 21 Egyptians beheaded,” by Ahmed Tolba and Shadi […]
