On the first day of Eid Al-Fitr 2014, the newly minted Islamic State released a well produced, highly polished and well planned out video detailing its philosophy, its ambition, the means it was using to achieve its ends, and a thorough and detailed connection between the horrifying actions it took, mass slaughter, destruction of ancient sites sacred to millions and the Islamic ideology which demand that these actions be taken.
The video was pulled from Youtube within hours of its publication due to the last third of it, which show mass killing and desecration of the dead and dying. However this killing was not random or ‘gratuitous’ from the point of view of the Islamic State. It was part of a highly methodical overall plan for making the area, and ultimately the world, purely Islamic.
There are some aspects of the video however that cannot be understood for its intended meaning without some expert explanation as many terms and ideas and Koranic references are used which the non-Muslim lay-person will likely not understand, and which are crucial to get the full impact of this video. And it is a video which everyone should both see, and understand if one wishes to understand what Islam really is, and what it has in store for the world should it get the opportunity.
The video below has four experts who all agreed to watch the Islamic State video and describe what it is they felt that the rest of us need to know in order to understand properly what it is they are seeing.
Special thanks to:
Christian Zeitz
Bill Warner for agreeing to assist with this project.
May I present this video which I hope will serve as a Rosetta Stone for the Islamic State.
Eeyore for VladTepesBlog
The Islamic State video can be viewed here at Pajamas Media or Here at Vlad Tepes. The PJ Media instance is a higher definition version.
At a later date I will include the four complete videos of each participant. as all of them had a great deal of extremely valuable analysis and insight on this video and what it means. Deciding what to keep for the above edit was easy. But deciding what to cut was excruciating.
Everyone who is a regular on this blog should download all of the videos and save them on DVD, several copies of the DVD to insure their survival.

That’s a “delivery mechanism” I never considered.
Neither had I, we will have to wait and see if he gets sick.
Remember gas and bio weapons are the poor mans nuclear weapon, cheaper to build and easier to smuggle.
This is how islam was started. ISIS is true to form. Only those without any knowledge of islam believe their behaviour is an anomaly.
True, and the last time they went on the offensive it took over 700 years to stop them.
Four problems with Obama’s ISIS strategy.

All four are worrisome. I see Iran as beneficiary of this strategy no matter what.
You’re dealing with the Mohammedan. His understanding of “honor” is that which resides between the legs of every female he possesses.
That’s just as true for Kurds, whether Sunni or Shitte.
True, we are going to have a very hard time until we can get rational people in the White House and Congress, a fear that it will take an attack on a much larger scale then 9/11 to allow this to happen.
Meanwhile, we back out. I don’t trust these guys with big guns – neither the giver (POS, et al.) or the “moderate” recipient.
I don’t trust them with any weapon including bare hands.
Agree. Emphatically.
A group of Christian orginizations urge Obama not to bomb ISIS, the problem is that most of these groups have a history of supporting the Moslems or the left..

Terrific video, Eeyore.
You brought the best together seamlessly. You took the “inaugural” video apart like homicide detectives and presented it like the District Attorney.
The radio program is a must-listen. Have to listen again and think about my own position on several issues, such as vigilante justice.

Some will want to and those may outnumber those who want to keep some control over the spending.

Tragic.
She writes as simple fact that people of her class and color frequently know little about their biological fathers. So they’re looking for Papa to control behavior that caused suffering for Mama and the kids.
That all the men go through the prison system goes without saying. There they find Islam, which they pass on to their families as soon as they return.
There has to be a better way.
There is and was, prior to the war on poverty there was a thriving Black middle class, the vast majority of Black kids grew up in stable families and the schools in the Ghetto routinely turned in higher test scores then the schools in the White areas. After the war on poverty and integration things went down hill.
That’s right. All those black churches were thriving.
Almost all of the black owned stores ended up shut and the owners moved them to lower crime areas.
Black women have probably always been stronger than the men. It’s been generations already, what’s the matter with black men?

Open Season.
fantastic work on the jihad video vlad. we are watching a live version of the
koran playing out. an incredible find. put together masterfully. terrifying.
Bill Warner at 8:07 on the video Tawhid salute
from wiki :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawhid
Tawhid salute : A raised right-hand index finger is commonly used by Islamist groups such as the Islamic State as a salute to symbolise the concept of tawhid. On another level, it emphasises the complete rejection of shirk and idolatry and the ambition for the singular dominance of Islam.
