H/T Maria J., M, WTD.,
Comments on YT are disabled for this video. Unsurprisingly. So I am giving this its own post so people can comment here. It is quite an interesting video with a good collection of under informed analysis and half truths but thats a half a truth more than we usually get about Islam.
To kick off the comments, the statement by the narrator that says that these moderate imams made a categorical and unequivocal condemnation of the Islamic State is false.
In Islam, they would have to declare them “takfiri” or not true muslims. And so far, none of the imams who do the ‘Islamic State is not the true Islam’ have said that. So it means nothing.
When they call them out, it means something in islam. It is in fact, a capitol offense to be a fake muslim, and is exactly what the Islamic State uses to justify its wholesale murder of Shiia muslims when the opportunity presents.
Also one wonders if the sudden flurry of news about KSA funded extremist mosques, something people who have been paying attention to for a really long time, is coincedentally being made and released at the same time that the US Senate passed a bill allowing Americans to sue that despotic and horrifyingly anti-freedom nation for its obvious role in the 911 attacks.
However should it be proven and known that the Saudis had a direct hand in it, one might would think suing people who you give $40B a day to for oil (assuming a $100/brl price) i a stupid solution, as it would just mean paying a few million less to them. Instead, a kinetic solution they would feel twice as much. That would actually have an impact.
The Senate by UC just passed bill to allow 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia for their possible involvement in the terror attacks

This video was up at YT with ‘soft’ titles yesterday but we felt that the subject and nature of this was too important to not have our own reliable translation (thank you H Numan) so we did it ourselves.
Please note that the person they interview at the end appears to be a purveyor of the narrative. I had considered just clipping it off the end but we added a note instead with some relevant attributes that may affect yur view of his statements.

This new threat is said to have been uttered by a jihadist who left to fight in Syria. He is said to have phoned his mother to tell her not to appear in places with many people …
This SMS was published by numerous medias on Friday, with all the usual
precautions. But the police, who indeed know the identity of the mother and her
son, take the matter very seriously and additional troops provide security in public
places (cinema, party rooms, Shopping centres) in the city dear to Bart De
Wever. “It is, however, difficult to judge whether these threats are serious or not,” Wouter
Bruyns, spokesman of the Antwerp police, told our colleagues from
Nieuwsblad.
But many experts insist that such threats must not be taken lightly.
“It is possible that new arrests Friday signify the end of the Paris and Brussels
terror cell. But it is clear that the risk of attacks is not completely ruled out ” according to Michel Liegeois, specialist in international relations and terrorism.
“Like after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, we have to ask whether the fact that Abrini is
behind bars will not encourage some of its potential accomplices, unknown until now
and feeling cornered by the investigators, to
take action. They might have the urge to act before being arrested, ” according to the Professor and researcher at the center for the study of crisis and international conflicts (UCL).
Capitol building and white house on Lockdown thanks to unknown gunman who started shooting at police in the visitor area.
The US Capitol is on lockdown after a visitor opened fire, shooting and wounding a police officer – just hours after an active shooter drill in the government building.
Staffers in the visitor center were ordered to shelter in place just before 3pm (Eastern Time) on Monday as police secured the area.
One officer was hospitalized with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. The suspect was taken in to custody within minutes of the first shot being fired, the Associated Press reported.
There was confusion as the shooting came soon after a scheduled active shooter drill, which staff had been notified about via email.
A visitor, Cathryn Leff from California, described crowds running and screaming after gunshots sounded as she was walking through security.

Bomb Squad Called To Investigate Suspicious Package In Times Square [UPDATE]
Around the same time we heard about a shooting near the U.S. Capitol building we started to see reports about a situation in Times Square where the police had to shut down a large portion of the tourist attraction due to a security threat.
The bomb squad is on the scene due to a suspicious package.
1. A video of the attempt in Belgium today
The Videos:
Please check back regularly. Will post more as they come in!
Much thanks to all the sources on this. You know who you are.
In every major terrorist attack in the past few years there has been a Jewish component. The Charlie Hebdo attack had some jihadis murder Jews in a deli. This was met with the contemptible lie by president Barack Obama that it was “some random folks in a deli” that were murdered.
Then there was the attack more recently in Paris. This had a few components. A popular sporting event, a soccer game, and a Jewish owned venue for dance music and drink. (They probably also had ham on the menu) So a very strong target for Muslims.
There was the attack in Copenhagen where a free speech meeting was shot up and then a man killed outside a Synagogue.
In pretty much every attack, the jihadis make sure that there is at least a component of attacks on Jews. So what about today in Belgium?
(And why?)
New York (AFP) – Starbucks shut all of its coffee shops in Belgium on Tuesday, after a Brussels airport outlet was apparently the location of one of the bombs that killed about 35 people.
“Amidst reports of attacks targeting Brussels Airport and a metro station, initial indications are that an explosion took place outside our store within the airport,” the US coffee chain said in a statement.
“This store and all other Starbucks stores in Belgium will remain closed until further notice.”
So what does Starbucks have to do with Jews?
Starbucks in particular has gained a reputation in the local community for notoriously being a pro-Zionist company, yet a lot of that appears to be based on misinformation.In fact, within the last year, any strings that had connected Starbucks to Israel appear to have been cut. The company closed down all six of its locations in that country earlier this year, dissolving its joint partnership with Shalom Coffee Co., which helped operate the Starbucks locations in Israel.
The Arab American piece is quite fair and rational. But the BDS and Islamic groups are not. And this may mean that the choice of location to detonate the explosives constitutes and answer to the question: Where is the anti-Jewish component of this attack?
It would be good to know more about the tactical aspects. Was the Starbucks the best place anyway irrespective of all this? Or like other attacks such as Bombay and Paris, did they actually suffer a tactical loss in order to make a strategic point? In other words, would they have created more terror by choosing a location other than Starbucks which had more potential to do structural damage and create loss of life, and so Starbucks was chosen in order to specifically be anti-Jewish? Or was Starbucks where they wanted to detonate anyway.
This answer may have to wait for an architect to weigh in or better yet, a decent confession by a captive. If indeed we are permitted to know the truth and as Maj. Nidal Hassan has still not been allowed to fully disclose his thinking, we may never know it.
Xanthippa sent in the following addition. The recent attack in Turkey had the bomber following a group of Jewish men before detonation.
1. Paris terrorist ‘planned attacks in Germany’
Saleh Abdeslam, the man arrested in Belgium on Friday in connection with the Paris attacks, also had Germany in his sights, Berlin’s Tagesspiegel newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The terrorist network that carried out the attacks was “explicitly” built to carry out other attacks in Europe, including against the Federal Republic of Germany, a high-ranking security expert told Tagesspiegel.
In fact, the Paris group may have been just one of three groups put together by Isis to carry out attacks in western Europe.
Security sources told the newspaper that most of the first group was killed in a US airstrike on Raqqa, capital of the so-called “Islamic State” in Syria.
(The only lesson the Muslims will learn from anything we do, is not to order so many pizzas at once to the same address)

SKY News struggles with the idea that it was a terrorist attack. No mention as to who or why. Cuase that would be Islamophobic

MOVING TO A NEW POST NOW
11 dead 20 injured (unconfirmed)
Two loud explosions have been heard at a Brussels airport which is being evacuated amid reports of several casualties.
Video and images on social media showed smoke rising from an airport building, shattered windows and confused and shocked passengers fleeing the terminal to safety.

Passengers flee the terminal
Unconfirmed reports have said 11 people are dead and at least 20 people are injured.
Multiple injuries have been reported and medics are racing to the scene.
The large explosions have taken out glass windows at the entrance and much of the airport’s ceiling has collapsed.
The cause of the two blasts, which occurred at around 8am this morning at an American airline check-in desk, are unknown at this stage.
There are unconformed reports that a bomb had been placed next to a check-in desk.
The blasts occurred four days after the arrest in Brussels of a suspected participant in November militant attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. Belgian police had been on alert for any reprisal action.
At least eleven people have died and several people injured after two explosions rocked Brussels Airport in a suspected terror attack.
Witnesses said they ‘felt the shockwaves’ of the blasts which are believed to have centred on the American Airlines check-in desk at 8am (7am GMT).
Photographs from inside the arrivals hall showed the floor was covered in fallen roof tiles and dust as bloodied people hobbled out of the airport. Others injured were photographed lying on the floor.
Video also shows terrified passengers running for their lives out of the terminal.
In the aftermath of the explosions thousands of people waiting for flights this morning were penned inside the terminal as police sealed off the shattered arrivals hall.
People already checked-in were then slowly evacuated through emergency exits – but were told to leave all their hand luggage as police checked bags for more explosives.

IRBIL, Iraq — A Palestinian-American member of the Islamic State group gave himself up to an Iraqi Kurdish military unit in the country’s north on Monday, an Iraqi Kurdish general said, a rare instance of a voluntary surrender of a militant fighting with the extremist group in Iraq.
The man had been “lurking near the peshmerga lines” since late Sunday night, according to Maj. Gen. Feisal Helkani of the Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga forces, which are playing key role — along with the Iraqi military — in battling the extremist IS group.
Helkani said his troops first tried to shoot the man, assuming he was a would-be suicide bomber.
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — The Kurdish Peshmerga captured an American member of the Islamic State (ISIS) on the Shingal front on Monday, said a local commander.
Muhammad Jamal Amin is a Virginia-born American citizen of a Palestinian father and Iraqi mother from Mosul.
According to the Peshmerga commander of the Shingal front who didn’t want to be named, the ISIS militant had mistaken the Peshmerga territory for the Turkish border.
FOX clip on this story just out
This may be a major story. It was sent to me by Fausta’s blog, who is the premiere blog tracking Islamification and leftist totalitarianism in English of the Spanish speaking world.
I believe she is doing a proper translation of it but for now, here is the original link and the best corrections I can do from a google translate. We will publish a proper translation as soon as we get it.
New operation against jihadist supply structures. National Police agents have seized about 20,000 military uniforms that were to be sent to Islamic State and Al-Nusra Front-the mark of Al Qaeda, in Syria, on Thursday, which were already stored in three containers of goods. They were going out to the Middle East from the ports of Valencia (two containers) and Algeciras (a container).
The containers contained uniforms and were declared as “second-hand clothes”, to avoid suspicion and to pass the different customs inspections without any difficulty, using a declaration dedicated to the export and import used clothing.
The uniforms were in large bundles camouflaged among others containing other clothing.
More information is expected to be released in minutes from now.
UPDATE:
Proper translation of first paragraph and explanation from Fausta:
New operation against jihadist supply networks. On Thursday, National Police agents seized 20,000 military uniforms that were being sent to the Islamic State and the Al Nusra front – Syria’s al-Qaeda branch – which were being stored in three shipping containers about to depart from the ports of Valencia (two containers) and Algeciras (one container).

On January 31 2016, a fatal shooting took place at a Somali Restaurant in Ottawa’s West end.
Below, a short video with some of the main points from a CBC article linked here.
Police seem to be moving the story to gang related. However drugs and crime is typically how terrorists raise cash for terrorism and political activity. The targets were all under arraignment on terrorism charges it seems, and were doing the Islamic State salute.
Much like the attempted mass shooting in Alberta recently where all perps were named Mohamed and had Facebook pages supporting terrorist groups, the media has chosen to scrub all mention of Islamic ideology and methodology from the story.
