Jihad vs Crusades

, , History & Archaeology, , , , 262

Whenever Jihad is brought up in a conversation, you often hear rebuttals that bring up the Crusades as being just as evil. This video by Dr. Bill Warner from the Center for the Study of Political Islam shows the Crusades were a minuscule compared to the centuries-long attack on Europe and begs the question, ‘were the Crusades just a form of self-defense against the rise of the Islamic Empire’?

    Islamic State releases video showing beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians in Libya

    Islamic State has released a video purporting to show the militant group beheading 21 Egyptian Christians kidnapped in Libya.

    The video, released this afternoon, shows ISIS fighters dressed head to toe in black, marching the captives, all wearing orange jumpsuits, to a beach.

    The 21 men can be seen being forced onto their knees before they are beheaded by the militants standing behind them

    Before the killings, one of the militants stood with a knife in his hand and said: ‘Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for.’

    Egypt has vowed to avenge the brutal murders, which have been condemned around the globe, including by British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond.

    Mr Hammond said in a statement: ‘I strongly condemn the murders of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by ISIL-affiliated extremists in Libya. My thoughts are with the families of those killed.

    Another mass execution of Egyptian Christians by ISIS is feared to be imminent after Islamists are said to have rounded up ‘dozens more’ in retaliation for air strikes

    • ISIS and Ansar Al-Sharia ‘have kidnapped at least 35 farm workers in Libya’
    • Comes as Egypt blitzes ISIS targets for beheading 21 Christians on beach
    • Terror group is exploiting chaos in Libya to gain a foothold in new region 

    At least 35 more Egyptian Christians are feared to have been kidnapped by jihadists in retaliation for air strikes on targets in Libya.

    Militants from the Islamic State and Ansar Al-Sharia are understood to have rounded up dozens of farm workers in the wake of bombings by Cairo, it was reported by local media.

    The move is believed to be a direct response to strikes by Egyptian warplanes yesterday which came after fanatics released a horrific video showing the beheading of 21 Christians on a beach.

    It raises the chilling prospect of yet another mass execution in what is being seen as ISIS’s bid to announce its presence in a new region where it is gaining influence.

    Initial reports said seven men had been seized, but that figure had risen to more than 35 by mid-afternoon yesterday, according to The Libya Herald.

    T8. Those of the early church wished they could be a part of this end time to lose their life for the truth. I wish I could be there. Still might be one day. Rejoice for their courage.

    ASIS are nothing to what Mao did in china but Mao did it to bring order to a dysfunctional government,

    asis do things for the only purpose to commit suicide,at a young age ,with all the violence they have in their hearts ,

    the only reason that they exist is because the surrounding nation are standing still ,and always looks that someone else comes and clean up their own mess ,like the europeans or americans ,as soon that they start to get booths in to it the ASIS will be eliminated,or reduced to a street gang of 5 or 10

    but let see in time what will develop

    ISIS threatens to send 500,000 migrants to Europe as a ‘psychological weapon’ in chilling echo of Gaddafi’s prophecy that the Mediterranean ‘will become a sea of chaos’

    • Italian press today published claims that ISIS has threatened to release the huge wave of migrants to cause chaos in Europe if they are attacked
    • And letters from jihadists show plans to hide terrorists among refugees 
    • In 2011, Muammar Gaddafi ominously predicted war would come to Libya
    • He was deposed in a violent coup and killed in October of the same year 
    • Islamic State executed 21 Egyptian Christians on Libyan beach this week
    • Crisis in Libya has led to surge in number of migrants heading for Europe

    ISIS has threatened to flood Europe with half a million migrants from Libya in a ‘psychological’ attack against the West, it was claimed today.

    Transcripts of telephone intercepts published in Italy claim to provide evidence that ISIS is threatening to send 500,000 migrants simultaneously out to sea in hundreds of boats in a ‘psychological weapon’ against Europe if there is military intervention against them in Libya.

    Many would be at risk of drowning with rescue services unable to cope. But authorities fear that if numbers on this scale arrived, European cities could witness riots.

    Separately, the militants hope to cement their control of Libya then cross the Mediterranean disguised as refugees, according to letters seen by Quilliam the anti-terror group, reported by the Telegraph.

    Talk is cheap, but when men put their minds together to accomplish something, they can do much more than we think. Think of the incredible feat the Pyramids were to build or today’s skyscrapers, or ancient sea voyagers.

    ISIS definitely have the passion if you can call it that. If only 1% get through from say 50,000 that is 500 terrorists or 1% of half a million is 50,000 terrorists. They have nothing to lose. They know they are going to die anyway, and they can’t wait for the virgins.

    Italy agrees to put 5,000 soldiers on the streets amid fears of Islamic State attack

    ITALY have tonight agreed plans to put almost 5,000 soldiers on the streets amid fears of potential attacks from Islamic State (IS) militants.

    The troops will guard sensitive sites and targets, including in Rome where around 500 members of the military will be deployed.

    In the Italian capital the soldiers will help guard Jewish schools, the city’s synagogue and diplomatic residences.

    The measures, announced after a meeting of military and security officials, will be implemented until at least June.

    Authorities consider Rome particularly sensitive because it is home to the Vatican.

    In the past, Islamic militant websites have posted vague threats against Pope Francis and the Roman Catholic Church.

    The news comes amid rising fears of attacks by Islamic extremists in Italy after the beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians by terror group IS.

    The atrocity, shown in a gruesome video released on Sunday, happened on the Libyan shore of the Mediterranean Sea which is a short boat ride from Italy.

    Could be. Something is going to happen there one way or another. If not ISIS, then Iran, or something else.

    Could be an Islamic War and things develop from there.

    On Europe’s doorstep: Islamic State have now infiltrated TURKEY and are ‘plotting attack’

    MILITANTS from the Islamic State have entered Turkey and are plotting an attack in Ankara and Istanbul, the national intelligence agency reportedly revealed.

    Around 3,000 militants from the extremist religious group in Syria and Iraq infiltrated Turkey through its southern border after being pushed from the pivotal border town of Kobani.

    Turkish newspaper Hurriyet broke the worrying revelations from an internal memo from MIT (Millî ?stihbarat Te?kilat? – the country’s National Intelligence Organization).

    Some militants, including senior commanders plotting terror attacks in Turkey, are thought to have already entered Turkey and hidden in safe houses, the internal note claims.

    It adds: “Militants expert in suicide and bomb attacks are preparing […] attacks on the Istanbul and Ankara missions of coalition forces which intervened in Syria.”

    Istanbul holds a huge significance for the Islamic State, also referred to as IS, ISIS and ISIL.

    The terror group strictly adheres to a variety of Islam whose references to the path to the Day of Judgment have had an enormous impact on its military and geographical strategy.

    According to the beliefs of the so-called Islamic State their militants await the army of “Rome” and a defeat at Dabiq, in Syria, kickstarts the countdown to the apocalypse.

    ISIS extremists believe the armies of Rome and the armies of the Islamic State will meet in Istanbul, the historic capital of the Eastern Roman empire.

    Istanbul will be ransacked by the group, who will then creep towards Europe, they claim.

    The apocalyptic literature then tells of an enemy – an anti-Messiah referred to by Muslim texts as Dajjal – who will slaughter a vast number of the caliphate’s fighters, until just 5,000 remain.

    The weakened Islamic State will then be cornered in Jerusalem for a final showdown, the prophecy foretells.

    ISIS will only be saved when Jesus — the second-most-revered prophet in Islam — then returns to Earth to spear Dajjal and lead the Muslims to victory.

    Some believe the group will then create a world-wide caliphate.

    In the terror organisation’s latest propaganda film, a masked extremist points a hunting knife at the camera and said Islamic State will “conquer Rome”.

    Could be terraricca, or it could be that the West is the “Most Terrible of Nations” in the following verse. In other words, the West defeats the Antichrist.

    Ezekiel 28:7-8
    Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, the most ruthless of the nations and they will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor. ‘They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.

    ISIS could become the pirates of the Mediterranean and bring havoc to European waters after taking coastal towns in Libya, officials warn

    • Islamic State already working with human traffickers, Italian officials said
    • Experts believe they have access and knowledge to ‘wreak havoc’ in Med 
    • Mediterranean Sea accounts for 15 per cent of the world’s shipping activity 
    • ISIS threatened to send 500,000 migrants to Europe and hide among them

    Militias loyal to ISIS could bring Somalia-style piracy to the Mediterranean, officials fear.

    Two centuries after the brutal Berber pirates were cowered into submission, the threat of maritime terror in the Med is once again looming from North Africa.

    Fighters that have sworn allegiance to the Islamic State have made sweeping new inroads in Libya, and have taken numerous coastal towns, just a few hundred miles across the water from mainland Europe.

    Italian officials believe that militants are already working with experienced seamen – the human traffickers shipping tens of thousands of migrants to Europe every month.

    Could be for the Babylonians, I don’t know. Many think it is about the Antichrist. I would like to know why they think that. I will give it a good read when I have time.
