Well another attack in the U.K. by proponents of the religion of peace. Thats what happens when you accept such acts as the new norm and hope it just goes away. It doesnt it, it just emboldens other jihadists.

Islam’s driving goal is to destroy what it sees as the false and misplaced worship of all other religions. Until the day that everyone says, “none has the right to be worshipped other than Allah,” And so the fight continues against unbelievers and unbelieving nations.

Ibn Kathir lays out the prominent role of offensive jihad in Islam’s early days as he comments on Surah 9:123:

Allah commands the believers to fight the disbelievers, the closest in area to the Islamic state, then the farthest. This is why the Messenger of Allah started fighting the idolaters in the Arabian Peninsula. When he finished with them… He then started fighting the People of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians). After Muhammad’s death, his executor, friend, and Caliph, Abu Bakr, became the leader… On behalf of the Prophet , Abu Bakr… started preparing the Islamic armies to fight the Roman cross worshippers, and the Persian fire worshippers. By the blessing of his mission, Allah opened the lands for him and brought down Caesar and Kisra and those who obeyed them among the servants. Abu Bakr spent their treasures in the cause of Allah, just as the Messenger of Allah had foretold would happen. This mission (of world domination) continued after Abu Bakr at the hands of he whom Abu Bakr chose to be his successor… Umar bin Al-Khattab. With Umar, Allah humiliated the disbelievers, suppressed the tyrants and hypocrites, and opened the eastern and western parts of the world. The treasures of various countries were brought to Umar from near and far provinces, and he divided them according to the legitimate and accepted method. Umar then died… Then, the Companions among the Muslims… agreed to choose after Umar, Uthman bin Affan... During Uthman's reign, Islam wore its widest garment and Allah's unequivocal proof was established in various parts of the world over the necks of the servants. Islam appeared in the eastern and western parts of the world and Allah's Word was elevated and His religion apparent. The pure religion reached its deepest aims against Allah's enemies, and whenever Muslims overcame a community, they moved to the next one, and then the next one, crushing the tyranical evil doers. They did this in reverence to Allah's statement, O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you.

It is clear that Muhammad, and then his successors, Caliph Abu Bakr, Caliph Umar, and Caliph Uthman all attacked the surrounding nations offensively for the purpose of spreading Islam. These were not as is claimed by the historical revisionists, defensive wars. They were offensive wars whose goal was to force the victims to submit to Islam or be “crushed.”

Ibn Khaldun, the famous 14th century Islamic historian and philosopher in his classic and most notable work, the Muqaddimah says of jihad:

In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the (Muslim) mission and (the obligation to) convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force. Therefore, the caliphate (spiritual), the royal (government and military) authority are united in Islam, so that the person in charge can devote the available strength to both of them at the same time.

In his book, “Jurisprudence in Muhammad’s Biography” the renowned Egyptian scholar from Al-Azhar university, Dr. Muhammad Sa’id Ramadan al-Buti writes that offensive and not defensive war is the “noblest Holy War” within Islam:

The Holy War (Islamic Jihad), as it is known in Islamic Jurisprudence, is basically an offensive war. This is the duty of Muslims in every age when the needed military power becomes available to them. This is the phase in which the meaning of Holy war has taken its final form. Thus the apostle of Allah said: ' I was commanded to fight the people until they believe in Allah and his messages… The concept of Holy War (Jihad) in Islam does not take into consideration whether defensive or an offensive war. Its goal is the exaltation of the Word of Allah and the construction of Islamic society and the establishment of Allah’s Kingdom on Earth regardless of the means. The means would be offensive warfare. In this case, it is the apex, the noblest Holy War.

According to the Encyclopedia of Islam, "the fight is obligatory even when the unbelievers have not started it.” The concept of jihad in Islam is to literally attack unbelievers for the purpose of converting them to Islam “by persuasion or by force,” “even when they have not started it.”

Any book written by humans can be understood by human no matter what language its written in. That abomination these animals so revere ought to be burned. They want to live in the stone age send them back to it.

Seems some Algerian wanted to hammer home the message of peace for Syria, and failed, so to speak.

Who said Germans have no sense of sarcastic wit.

[Skybird]

While reality often is dirty, no sarcasm can rival reality. The guy should have yelled "This is for Syria", or not?

The Tzar once sold Alaska to America for 5000 dollars or so, but this does not mean that Syria can be had for just a hammer. We have had inflation since then.

Looks like the assailant has survived.

Gun attacks and suicide bombs in - Teheran.

Welcome to the party.

IS claims responsibility.

[Von Due]

No surprise really. One is, Iranian border patrols have been fighting ISIS for quite some time, police intel and military intel have co-worked on fighting ISIS inside the borders, Iran is involved in Syria against among others ISIS, the Iran-Qatar relationship is not as friendly as depicted in our media (call it an uneasy, nervous "eternal friendship"). Another thing is, while ISIS have claimed responsibility, no evidence of their involvement has been found as far as I could make out. ISIS are in a habit of "over claiming" for propaganda purposes but that doen't mean they are not responsible for this.

This just in: London vehicle hits pedestrians, police say 'number of casualties'

"If you were interested in targeting a group of Muslims at a mosque that was notorious, this would be the mosque you would do it at. I think it's significant that they had the reputation historically of being one of the most militant mosques in London. And that reputation may be more historical than current," he said.
