1. Islamic State training camp in Syria
2. Here is a very very odd clip. Dr. Zudi Jasser I think is trying to say that Islam is really classical liberalism with modern feminist equalitarianism. I’m not sure if he is saying that the Islamic State is genuinely Islamic but in need of reform, or if they have perverted it.
3. Some Americans Fighting With Terror Groups Have Returned to the U.S., Obama Administration Says
First official government confirmation that at least some of the Americans fighting alongside ISIS have come home
The Obama Administration believes some Americans who have fought alongside the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) have returned to the United States, a senior Administration official said Monday.
During a briefing for reporters Monday in the ornate Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the Administration’s efforts to address the issue of so-called foreign terrorist fighters, the official said that the latest assessment from National Counterterrorism Center is that more than 100 Americans have attempted to fight in Iraq and Syria alongside ISIS or the al-Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front. […] the NCTC believes that 15,000 fighters from 80 countries have tried to fight in Iraq and Syria, including 2,000 Europeans and the more than 100 Americans
4. This actually is a wonderful event. We can see clearly now that the ‘green’ movement is not, and may never have been about the environment but is actually a communist or islamic or worse, a no-alternative-at-all free for all hating capitalism. Its great when they stop lying to the public about the real agenda. Now lets see if people notice.
More to come. Thank you M., and all who sent in materials. I hope to be able to publish Sister Hatune’s full presentation in the US last week within the hour.
If you don’t acknowledge the problem, you will never be able to solve it. A quote from Dr. Phil.
This Dr. Jasser is another moderate muslim like Tariq Ramadan? He is also known as the snake with a split tongue.
The way I figure it, is that there is a huge struggle all over the world for the power of the caliphate.
You are right, the various groups and sects of Islam are competing to see who is the new Caliph all the while attacking us and trying to keep us from knowing the truth about what is happening.
No Pica, Dr. Jasser is one of the extremely rare, Muslims for Reformation of Islam. The impossible moderate Muslim, not an apostate. The only one I’ve heard in all these years.
He’s there to comment with the good guys: Spencer, the Sun, etc. I’m sure there’s a fatwa on him by now, but he’s a veteran and a doctor, and he’s running uphill against the wind.
The ‘Core Principle’ at the top of the list at the website for Jasser’s American Islamic Forum for Democracy (its very name a contradiction in terms) is ‘The separation of religion and state, as being perfectly non-contradictory with Qur’anic principles.’
Jasser asserts a distinction between Islam and political Islam, which he calls Islamism. The website goes on to say that ‘pluralism and moderation are fundamental principles of the Holy Qur’an.’
Where are the arguments in support of these wild claims? The tab called Islamic Reform is a blank field. ‘Section still under construction.’ Kind of says it all. He does seem like a nice guy though.
“Islam is a RoP” has been policy directive no 1, that ALL Western leaders have adopted since 9/11. That in itself, should excite some curiosity.
Surely it must be obvious that all leading Western politicians are singing from the same hymn book. They know of Islam, but they cannot, for political, strategic and other reasons, admit that fact, while waging war against Muslim states. Why even Libya, Syria, and Egypt, are destabilised, even though these states were fighting al Qaeda.
I posit the following.
The West is waging a generational war, much like the Crusades, but cannot, for political reasons say so. Destabilisation of the Islamic world takes precedence, even when the nation is friendly – Egypt.
Further reasons
1. To prevent violent disorder in Western countries, and the breakdown of law and order. I agree with this.
2. To wage war on Islam (invading Muslim countries for genuine or any made-up reason), while pretending not to.
3. To divide the Islamic world while the war is in progress.
So far so good.
But the reality is that some Muslims know what is going on, thus there will be more attacks like the Fort Hood and Lee Rigby incidents. This will create further large scale interventions in the ME and elsewhere, leading to more internal Jihad.
In the fullness of time, I see a complete separation from the Islamic world, a kind of Cold War situation, with strict immigration and economic embargoes, and a clear out in the West.
GW Bush warned us of this, and recently David Cameron stated the same, that this war was going to last a generation or more, and a Cold War was a distinct likelihood.
#3 I have heard the number is 40 and that unless Obama and Holder have ordered them to stop the FBI is watching the.
#4 This is indeed good news but the question is how many people will see the story, the article on the blaze is good but I know a lot of people who say that if it was true the Big 3 would be reporting it.
I trust Jasser less than Anjem Choudray. He is a nice gimmick, the American Muslim reformer. He is mud in the water.
No, really Black@.
This guy’s for real, probably the only one.
Choudray really should be dead by now.
#1
Can’t the Americans see stuff like this from their satellites and spy planes? From what I hear they can’t read a newspaper from space (they say), but they can certainly spot a bunch of guys with machine guns and jeeps. Why, I’ll bet they’ve got a room with a big map on a big table and a bunch of little markers showing where every single little ISIS guy and training camp is located.
The USS George Herbert Bush can put 80 planes into the air at one time. Can you picture anybody trying to argue with 80 US warplanes? Hmmm… Come to think of it, there isn’t anybody who could argue with 80 US warplanes, is there. Not Turkey or Russia or China or Iran or any combination of the above. So why are these ISIS chaps still breathing?
And apart from everything else, imagine how it would bolster America’s world image if they just stopped farting around and went John Wayne on these evil monsters’ asses. Is there any sane earthling who would object?
Chris, the Brits have got better domestic surveillance than we do. Makes me jealous. They just don’t make good use of it, the poncey poms.
Sadly, the Manchurian Candidate’s done terrible damage to our military. We’ll find out the hard way, probably after he leaves office. By then he’ll be surfacing with the rest of the scum in Qatar.
It’s easier picturing grey-haired Imam Obama in a mosque in Qatar than in America in the role of wise elder statesman.
That it is.
What the sats see is filtered through the analysts and given the way the left has infiltrated all aspects of our intelligence services they are blocking a lot of info.
For sure.
I wish there were more trustworthy resources like Clarion and Claire Lopez.
You aren’t the only one.
Mj. Coughlin, as well.
CTV News Missing Afghan soldiers detained at Canada-U.S. border
BOSTON — Three Afghan National Army officers who went missing during a training exercise at a Cape Cod military base were detained Monday at the U.S.-Canadian border, Massachusetts law enforcement officials said.
Massachusetts state police were notified that the three were being questioned by federal authorities at Rainbow Bridge, which connects Niagara Falls, N.Y. and Niagara Falls, Ont., said spokesman David Procopio, who did not have further details.
There was no immediate comment from the Pentagon.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Niagara Falls said they didn’t have the men in custody. Messages left for Canada Border Services Agency weren’t immediately returned.
Military officials said the Afghan soldiers had been participating in a U.S. Central Command Regional Co-operation training exercise at Joint Base Cape Cod. They arrived at Camp Edwards on Sept. 11 and were last seen Saturday at the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis during an off day.
The soldiers were reported missing by base security personnel Saturday night. They were identified as Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, Capt. Mohammad Nasir Askarzada and Capt. Noorullah Aminyar.[…]

Isil-linked jihadists threaten to murder French hostage
A French hostage kidnapped by jihadists has appeared in a video posted on Monday, in which they demand the French government do not intervene in Iraq
An Algerian group linked to Islamic State jihadists has threatened to kill a French hostage within 24 hours unless Paris halts air strikes on the IS in Iraq in a video released on Monday evening.
Jund al-Khilifa (Soldiers of the Caliphate), which has pledged allegiance to IS, said in the video that it carried out a kidnapping on Sunday of a Frenchman in a mountainous region of eastern Algeria.
The hostage, Herve Pierre Gourdel, white-haired and bespectacled, is shown squatting on the ground flanked by two hooded men clutching Kalashnikov assault rifles.
“It is up to Hollande, president of the criminal French state, to halt the attacks on the Islamic State within 24 hours of this statement, otherwise his national Herve Gourdel will have his throat slit,” one of his kidnappers says in the video.
Gourdel said in the video he is a native of Nice in southern France who works as a mountain guide, and that he only arrived in Algeria on Saturday. He was seized while hiking with Algerian friends.
n the video, the kidnappers said they are responding to a call from IS, posted just hours earlier, for Muslims to kill citizens of countries taking part in the US-led coalition against the jihadists who have seized of large swathes of Iraq and Syria.
“If you can kill a disbelieving American or European – especially the spiteful and filthy French – or an Australian, or a Canadian or any other disbeliever… including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him,” said IS spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani.
“Kill the disbeliever whether he is civilian or military,” he said in the message, which was released in multiple

The Blaze : Terrified of Losing 72 Heavenly Virgins, Islamic State Fighters Reportedly ‘Run Away’ from a Certain Type of Soldier
Radical Islamists who decide to embark on suicidal missions often do so with the expectation they will be rewarded with 72 virgins if they die in battle; however, it turns out there is one major caveat to the scenario, according to a U.S. lawmaker.
That is, if they are killed by a woman, the deal is off.
Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.), chairman of the House International Relations Committee, told the New York Post, “These ISIL [Islamic State] soldiers apparently believed that if they were killed in battle, they went to paradise as long as they were killed by a man.”

Turkey indicates Islamic State prisoners swap
NEW YORK (AP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan has indicated that his country may have traded Islamic State group prisoners it held captive in exchange for 49 Turkish hostages held by the militants.
Asked about it in New York on Monday, Erdogan said “such things may be possible.” He said Israel released 1,500 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one Israeli hostage.
The hostages were returned to Turkey on Saturday after more than three months in the hands of the Islamic State group. The hostages were seized in Mosul, Iraq, when militants overran the city.
Turkish government officials have not revealed how they managed to secure the release of the captives. Erdogan denied paying a ransom but has been vague on whether there was a prisoner swap.
Erdogan spoke at the Council of Foreign Relations in New York.

VICE NEWS – Aleppo is Syria’s largest metropolitan area and a millennia-old commercial capital. Today, however, it is a relative ghost town, threatened by regime bombing from the air and a militant offensive on the ground.
For two weeks this summer, VICE News embedded with the Islamic Front, a coalition of Islamist rebels fighting the forces of President Bashar al-Assad on one hand and Islamic State militants on the other. From their secret tunnels beneath the ancient city to their threatened frontline outposts in Aleppo’s ruined medieval center, we followed the Islamic Front as it battled against overwhelming odds to retain control of the capital of the Syrian revolution.
