Root causes of terror? Mohamed. Links 2 for Oct. 21 – 2014

1. Wales: Mum flying black Muslim flag outside home tells neighbours it’s definitely not a show of support for Islamic State

2. CNN: What we learn from ISIS’ online magazine

But the two webzines share few similarities beyond that. Inspire was very much focused on recruiting lone-wolf jihadists and inspiring homegrown extremism in the West, but Dabiq includes only a few vague sentences about carrying out attacks in the West.

Where Inspire included instructions on bomb-making and building weapons to carry our attacks in the West, Dabiq focuses almost entirely on the actions of ISIS in Iraq and Syria and encourages followers to join the jihad there. In the third issue of Dabiq an ISIS writer asserts, “This life of jihad is not possible until you pack and move to the Khilafah,” meaning to leave your home and travel to ISIS’ areas of control in Iraq and Syria.

(While this isn’t bad, CNN fails to notice the point they themselves make earlier on in this article. That Dabiq actually does give clear scriptural justification for everything they do. This means that the Islamic State is the real islam)

3. More on the US weapons drop to Islamic State jihadis

Not only are foodstuffs, medical supplies—even clinics—going to ISIS, the distribution networks are paying ISIS ‘taxes’ and putting ISIS people on their payrolls.

GAZIANTEP, Turkey—While U.S. warplanes strike at the militants of the so-called Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq, truckloads of U.S. and Western aid has been flowing into territory controlled by the jihadists, assisting them to build their terror-inspiring “caliphate.”

4. For some time now I have been making the argument whenever and wherever I could that removing people’s right of exit is wrong at many levels, with the one proviso that once we are at war with a nation or people then we can deny the right of exit to someone planning to fight against us but then we should be arresting them on treason etc. and it becomes a different matter. I think yesterday’s terror attack and murder of one of Canada’s soldiers makes that point better than I possibly could have. Please read this:

Martin (Ahmad) Couture-Rouleau’s passport was seized by Canadian authorities concerned he had become radicalized and would travel overseas, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said Tuesday.

Couture-Rouleau, 25, was fatally shot after hitting the two soldiers in a parking lot of a commercial plaza in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, a city about 40 kilometres southeast of Montreal.

One of the soldiers, 53-year-old Patrice Vincent, died of his injuries Monday evening. Police say the other soldier doesn’t have life-threatening injuries.

5. DoD news which explains that they don’t know how US weapons ammunition, grenades and so on, ended up in Islamic State hands. We can rest assured that they do not know.

6. Switzerland seems to have the kind of common sense that everyone used to have before cultural Marxism replaced it with sanctimonious suicidal thinking.

7. Alain Wagner puts it on the line as he demands that all organizations which try and implement or demand sharia law be labelled as counter-democratic and anti-human-rights.

Thank you M., Yucki, Richard, Maria J., GoV.,  and all who sent in materials. More to come almost certainly.

  1. U.S. drug war in Afghanistan is failing, new report says (CNN, Oct 21, 2014)
    http://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/21/world/asia/afghanistan-drug-war/index.html

    “America’s drug war in Afghanistan is failing badly, a U.S. government watchdog says in a new report.

    Afghan farmers are growing bumper crops of opium poppies — an unprecedented 209,000 hectares in 2013 — even though U.S. agencies spent $7.6 billion to stop narcotics production in the nation.

    Afghanistan is the source of 80% of the world’s illegal opium, the U.S. government says, yielding $3 billion in sales in 2013, up from $2 billion from the previous year.

    U.S. authorities say a big chunk of that money funds Afghanistan’s insurgency and terrorism…..”

  2. #5 The DoD can claim they don’t know what happened but the rest of us have a real good idea.
