Belgium: Two Muslims Dead, One In Custody After Police Raid Terror Cell Planning “Major, Imminent Attack”

For peaceful purposes. There are two fewer Islamists in Europe today. But thousands more remain …

Qur’an Sura 4:76a, “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah …”

By Katharine Lackey and Oren Dorell, USA Today – “Two terror suspects were killed and another was in custody after a police raid on a cell planning a ‘major, imminent attack’ in Belgium, a magistrate said at a news conference Thursday.

Those targeted in the raid had been under surveillance since recently returning to Belgium from Syria and were close to carrying out an attack, Magistrate Eric Van der Sypt said.

The operation in the industrial town of Verviers, located about 80 miles southeast of the capital of Brussels, came amid heightened concerns over terrorism in Europe in the wake of last week’s Paris terror attacks and the threat of extremists returning from Syria.

However, Sypt said there was no link yet to the Paris attacks, and the operation was the result of an investigation into extremists returning from Syria that had been underway for a few weeks.

The suspects were killed after they opened fired on authorities near a train station inVerviers. No civilians or officers were injured, Sypt said.

‘These were extremely well-armed men,’ with automatic weapons, Van der Sypt said.

Witnesses told Belgium’s RTBF radio they heard a series of explosions followed by rapid fire near a bakery and a train station in the town.

Belgium’s terror alert level has been raised to its second highest level, and anti-terror raids were also underway in near Brussels, Sypt said.

Islamic State militants had threatened attacks on Belgium in a video released Wednesday, the Brussels-based Belga news agency reported, according to AFP.

The terrorism cell targeted in Verviers is believed to have ties to the militant group, CNN reported. A senior Belgian counter-terrorism official told CNN the group had been instructed by the Islamic State to carry out attacks in Belgium and Europe in retaliation for the U.S.-led airstrikes against the militants in Syria and Iraq.” Read more.

Flashback: The Islamization Of Belgium And The Netherlands In 2013 – “Belgium and the Netherlands have some of the largest Muslim communities in the European Union, in percentage terms. Belgium is home to an estimated 650,000 Muslims, or around 6% of the overall population, based on an average of several statistical estimates. The Netherlands is home to an estimated 925,000 Muslims, which also works out to around 6% of the overall population. Within the EU, only France (7.5%) has more Muslims in relative terms… The number of Muslims in Brussels — where roughly half of the number of Muslims in Belgium currently live — has reached 300,000, which means that the self-styled ‘Capital of Europe’ is now one of the most Islamic cities in Europe.” Read more.

Martyrdom is not only an issue in Syria, but also in Belgium. Become a thorn in the eye of the enemies of Islam’, he said in his message.” Read more.

ISIS Launches Massive Social Media Campaign Urging Every Muslim In The West To Act As “City Wolves”

Be a ravenous wolf, just like the self-declared “prophet” they are commanded to imitate …

Matthew 7:15, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”

Qur’an Sura 33:21, “Indeed in Allah’s Messenger (Mohammad) you have an excellent example to follow for him who hopes in (meeting with) Allah and the Last Day …”

Business Standard – “The Islamic State (IS) group has reportedly launched a massive social media campaign, urging every Muslim living in the West to act as a ‘city wolf’.

According to the Washington Times, following the recent terror attacks in France, the Islamic State posted Tweets calling on jihadists to kill more Westerners and to celebrate the lives of the three Muslims who slaughtered 17 innocent civilians and police on a rampage that began on Jan.

The Islamic State started the campaign on Sunday via two affiliated media groups, Al-Battar and Al-Ghuraba.

Robert Maginnis, a retired Army officer and military analyst said that IS’ social media sophistication was working and needed to be defeated quickly.

He added the ‘IS’ strategy to harness social media challenges the West’s military dominance by reaching past our governments to the people.’

The group used the hashtag #FightForHim – a reference to the Prophet Muhammad – over 3,000 times on Twitter since early Sunday, the report said.” Source – Business Standard.

It’s Not A Coincidence

By Ian Tuttle, National Review Online – “A major Islamist terror attack in France was only a matter of time. For several decades, the country has invited immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa en masse – first to bolster the labor force in the rebuilding years that followed World War II, then out of multicultural impulses that prevailed over prudential considerations. That radical Islam was transplanted to France, grew in strength and extent, and bore this week’s hideous fruit was not difficult to predict. The same is not unlikely in Sweden, Belgium, Germany, and elsewhere.

Demographics may not be the whole of destiny, but they are certainly a good part, and across the Atlantic, the United States seems increasingly to be turning toward Western Europe’s most undesirable demographic trends.

In 1992, 41 percent of new permanent residents in the United States — green-card holders — hailed from the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and North Africa, or sub-Saharan Africa, according to the Pew Research Center. A decade later, the percentage was 53 percent. Over that same period, predictably, the number of Muslim immigrants coming to the United States annually has doubled, from 50,000 to approximately 100,000 each year. In 1992, only 5 percent of Muslim immigrants came from sub-Saharan Africa; 20 years later, it was 16 percent. Of the 2.75 million Muslims in the United States in 2011, 1.7 million were legal permanent residents.

There is no official estimate of Muslims in the U.S.; religious affiliation is not tracked by the Census Bureau. However, Pew’s estimate of 2.75 million seems to be on the lower end. The Council on American-Islamic Relations says there are approximately 7 million Muslims in the country.

Whatever the exact level, it can hardly be considered surprising that as the Muslim population in the country has expanded, so has the incidence of radicalism.” Read more.

January 2: Village of Doro Baga Before Boko Haram Attack

January 7: Village of Doro Baga After Boko Haram Attack

By Eyder Peralta, NPR – “Amnesty International has released stunning satellite imagery that it says ‘show devastation of catastrophic proportions’ in Baga and Doron Baga, two towns in northeastern Nigeria that were attacked by Boko Haram.

As we’ve pointed out in the past few days, there has been confusion over just how deadly this attack was. Amnesty International has consistently said that the Islamic militants tore through the towns, burning buildings and killing as many as 2,000 people. The government, however, has denied those claims, saying the death toll is closer to 150.

The new images, the human rights group says, show the government estimates are wrong.

‘Up until now, the isolation of the Baga combined with the fact that Boko Haram remains in control of the area has meant that it has been very difficult to verify what happened there,’ said Daniel Eyre, Amnesty Nigeria researcher said in a statement. ‘Residents have not been able to return to bury the dead, let alone count their number. But through these satellite images combined with graphic testimonies a picture of what is likely to be Boko Haram’s deadliest attack ever is becoming clearer.'” Read more.

Somalia: Muslim Terror Group Burns Food Aid Vehicles In Bay Region

Like the internet and television, something may have been found to remind people that there is another faith to believe in that is far superior to Islam …

Revelation 6:8, “And I looked, and behold a [chlōros – green] horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts [thērion – savage, brutal, bestial men] of the earth…”

allAfrica – “Al-Shabaab militants have set fire to vehicles transporting food aid to Goof Gaduud district in Bay region, Somalia’s Radio Danan reported Thursday (January 8th).

Vehicles carrying bagaash, or smaller food items, were waylaid before they were set ablaze, said Goof Gaduud District Commissioner Ahmed Adan Mohamed.

The vehicles were bringing food aid from Baidoa to Goof Gaduud residents, he said, adding that the motive for the attack is not clear.

Al-Shabaab has attacked convoys attempting to deliver food in the past.” Source – allAfrica.

Flashback: Somalia: Islamist Group Bans Triangular Samosas Because They Might Remind People Of The Trinity – “Somalia’s al-Shabaab group has banned samosas after ruling the popular snacks are ‘offensive’ and too Christian. Militant Islamist fighters last week used vehicles mounted with loudspeakers to announce the bizarre ruling across the regions of the war-torn country it controls. The extremist group has offered no official explanation for the ban on the triangular snacks … It is now thought islamist militants have taken offence at the three-sided samosa’s supposed resemblance to symbol of the Christian Holy Trinity.” Read more.

Flashback: Somalia: Children Continue to Suffer from Hunger as Islamists Hinder Food Aid – “Children in Somalia continue to suffer needlessly from hunger as politics hinder the much needed distribution of food aid. In Somalia, it is women and children who bear the brunt of the famine. Children are susceptible to malnutrition that decreases their ability to fight off disease, while women are unable to access the services they need and carry the responsibility of caring for their families. Malnutrition is the largest contributor to global child mortality and is the cause of one-third of child deaths, which amounts to some 15 million children dying of hunger each year.” Read more.

Unsealed: A Closer Look At Revelation 6 And ‘The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse’ – “John describes the rider of the Black Horse in Revelation 6:5 as having ‘scales’ or ‘balances’ in his hands, employing the Greek word ‘zygos‘ which is also used metaphorically to refer to any sort of ‘burden’ or ‘bondage’ as well as the imposition of ‘troublesome laws’… In every facet of daily life a Muslim’s conduct must be based upon a strict set of Islamic laws, called the Sharia, and anyone failing to follow ‘Allah’s’ burdensome edicts must suffer draconian punishments, non-Musims included. But take a look at the Islamic world today. Is it exemplified by peace and justice and social harmony because of ‘Allah’s laws’? To the contrary, the Islamic world is ravaged by war, by deprivation, by desert and famine and starvation and pestilences, conditions that are true both physically and spiritually, both literally and figuratively. Because of ‘Sharia lawlessness’ the ‘Religion of Peace’ is typified by widespread destruction and disparity, and any number of recent headlines bear this out all too well.” Read more.

Pat Condell Talks About The Teachings Of Mohammed That Have Nothing To Do With Islam

If terrorism committed by Muslims in the name of “Allah” has nothing to do with Islam, then neither does the “prophet” Mohammed and everything he did in “Allah’s” name …

Qur’an Sura 8:59-60, “The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them …”

Hadith, Bukhari 2977, “I have been made victorious with terror” – The “Prophet” Of Islam, Mohammed

Hadith, Bukhari 52:54, “[Mohammed said] I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.”

Qur’an Sura 9:111, “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed …”

We know they have nothing to do with Islam because our politicians keep telling us that, and they are all Islamic scholars. They are, aren’t they? Yes, the violence is coming exclusively from Muslims, but only because their religion — the one that has nothing to do with Islam — tells them to kill unbelievers, meaning people who don’t follow the religion-with-a-knife-to-our-throat that has nothing to do with Islam. It’s true that the more Muslims there are in a society that the more dangerous it is for gay people and Jews, but Islamic gay hatred and Islamic Jew hatred have no more to do with Islam that Qur’an-based Islamic terrorism. None of the violence in Islamic scripture, page after page of it, has anything to do with Islam. When Muslim terrorists quote the Qur’an as they’re killing people you don’t seriously think that’s got anything to do with the religion they follow. That could be any book they’re quoting from. They just happened to pick that one because it’s their religion …” Listen to more.

By Pete Williams and M. Alex Johnson, NBC News – “An Ohio man who allegedly wanted to set up an ISIS cell in the U.S. was arrested Wednesday and accused of planning to attack the U.S. Capitol. But U.S. officials told NBC News the man was dealing with a government informer working undercover the entire time and was never in a position to carry out his plan.

Christopher Lee Cornell, 20, of Green Township, near Cincinnati, was arrested after he bought two M-15 semi-automatic rifles and about 600 rounds of ammunition as the undercover operative watched, according to an FBI affidavit.

Officials said Cornell never bought any components for pipe bombs. “There was never a danger to the public,” an official told NBC News.

A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Jan. 22 in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati on charges of the attempted killing of a U.S. government officer and possession of a firearm in furtherance of an attempted crime of violence.

Cornell’s father, John Cornell, said the family was blindsided by the arrest.

‘He never showed any signs of violence or anything,’ John Cornell said of his son.

The FBI said the informer alerted authorities in August that Cornell — under an alias, Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah — was posting comments on Twitter in support of ISIS. Shortly after those posts began appearing, the FBI sent the operative to meet with him undercover.

… Cornell made it clear early on that he hoped to create an ISIS cell in the U.S., telling the undercover agent in a text message: ‘I believe we should meet up and make our own group in alliance with the Islamic State here and plan operations ourselves.'” Read more.
