WHEN this expert in Islamic jihad heard the blessed news (all the way from Israel) that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-anointed head of the Islamic State snake, met his fiery and humiliating demise on Oct. 26, well, bringing out the bubbly would have been an appropriate reaction, that is, if yours truly was inclined to imbibe. Instead, breaking into song and dance (a natural response at this end) had to suffice. As is said, express yourself….
WITH said mental image(s) part of the picture, President Trump, the Commander-in-Chief, rightfully and righteously, hailed the kill that took out the “garbage of all human garbage” – meanwhile, giving credit to Conan, the warrior canine of all doggies, too!! Atta boy….
BUT after all is said and done – the backslapping and high-fives, alike – the nation is faced with the same cognitive dissonance re Islamic jihadi terrorism, indeed, a redundancy in terms. Pointedly, this is coming from an administration that should know better. Ugh!
AS it happens, most recently, these pages featured a bullet-proof analysis offering proof of the same – with prior reports serving as backup and supportive evidentiary trails. The former should be considered a culmination thereof, as demonstrated below.
- Incontestably, Brotherhood Mafia Foxes Are INSIDE Trump’s White House, As Erdogan, Turkey’s Brotherhood Leader, Invades Syria: Where Is The Nexus? As excerpted within….
…..No sooner did Erdogan give the order to commence the shelling of Kurdish territory (after Trump gave the green light, paradoxically, a U.S. aligned and trained partner), that Turkish troops attacked U.S. Special Forces, apparently by “mistake.” Talk about blow-back! Not only that, but Trump’s reasoning for retreat rings hollow, that is, since ISIS is no longer a threat, therefore, the mission is accomplished in Syria. Not so fast. Erdogan, a main supporter of ISIS (an offshoot of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which sprung from the Brotherhood…all of which are less than 3 degrees separated), despite his jive-talk, ensured that ISIS captured (by U.S. and Kurdish forces, no less) prisoners would be freed, step by step – and they are breaking out of prison! This is just a foretaste….continue reading here….
AS such, last week’s tête-à-tête between President Trump and Erdogan, frankly, smacked of the POTUS’s ignorance, at the very least, or total cognitive dissonance, at the very worst. Pick your poison.
TO that end, even Haaretz – the far-left, post-Zionist paper in Israel, a Hebrew and English publication – intuits what cozying up to Erdogan portends. Alas, this is a media outlet which is quick to hoist Arab/Islamic aspirations above Jewish national ones. Hmm.
IN concert, Israel National News, a/k/a Arutz Sheva, its polar opposite, expressed similar befuddlement and outrage, if you will. Mind you, this is a widely read Zionist and nationalist publication (also, in Hebrew and English) which, almost always, is solidly behind Trump’s policies, too. (Full Disclosure: This writer has written for their op-ed pages).

THAT being established, Haaretz had this to say….
After a day of meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan proved what a shrewd politician he is.
He entered the eye of a hurricane of hostility directed against his domestic repression and international adventurism – and came out not only untouched, but a victor. He was hailed by Trump as “highly respected” and his “good friend,” and protected by the U.S. president from any media questions that might discomfit him.
Erdogan manipulated Trump – and Trump was more than willing to be manipulated.
These days in the United States, it is hard to imagine a more despised and reviled international leader than Erdogan – except, perhaps Iran’s Ayatollah Khameini and Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman.

The president of Turkey has done nothing to warrant an invitation to the White House. We should be reducing our reliance on a Turkey that is an ally in name only, wait out Erdogan, and signal to Turks that the benefits of close ties with the US require acting like an ally.
From nightly comedy shows, to scathing editorials, America’s right and left have reached a general consensus: Erdogan is the bad guy who manipulated a seemingly willing Trump to withdraw U.S. forces in order to facilitate Turkey’s invasion of northern Syria and to attack the U.S.’s staunch ally, the Kurds.
In the lead-up to his arrival in the U.S., Republican and Democrat members of Congress, led by House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel issued a joint letter to President Trump urging him to rescind his invitation to Erdogan. The lawmakers stated that:
“President Erdogan’s decision to invade northern Syria on October 9 has had disastrous consequences for U.S. national security.” It continued: “Turkish forces have killed civilians and members of the Syrian Democratic Forces, a critical U.S. partner in the fight against ISIS.”
BUT if the above is not sufficient to sway the fence-sitters, as to what’s what…..
After the prayers, the hafiz of the mosque recited the Koranic Verse Al-Fath, which means “victory, triumph, conquest” in English. Then Erdogan took the microphone, reciting a part of the verse in Arabic and then in Turkish. He told the congregants:
“Our God commands us to be violent towards the kuffar (infidels). Who are we? The ummah [nation] of Mohammed. So [God] also commands us to be merciful to each other. So we will be merciful to each other. And we will be violent to the kuffar. Like in Syria.”
Erdogan then referred to another Koranic verse, As-Saff-13, in Arabic:
“Inshallah, God has promised us in Syria: ‘Nasrun minallahi ve fethun karib ve beşşiril mu’minin.’ [‘Victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers’]. We see it is happening right now. With the permission of Allah, we will see it even more… I will meet some presidents of foreign countries at the Dolmabahce Palace today. I ask for your permission now to go there.”
The congregants then cheered Erdogan on, shouting “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is the greatest)……
EXTRAPOLATING further, a rarer than a blue moon consensus was arrived at by Congressional leadership – with an understanding that hoisting up Erdogan, under the aegis of the POTUS, is a grave error!
MOVING right along, it is hard to swallow that he is unaware of Erdogan’s crimes (taking place under the protective umbrella of Brotherhood Mafia leadership) against all who oppose his clear aim, that is, to become the renewed Caliph astride the Ottoman Empire, a Sunni-led Caliphate! Resultant, Kurds, Christians, Jews, and every minority in between are in his (and allies) cross-hairs. This is a fact – all other optics and apologetic jive-talk beside the point.
SO with the above in plain view, it is an American and Israeli (overall, western) imperative to look beyond the smoke and mirrors, especially, as some are wont to declare (for political purposes): ISIS is dead! Hogwash.
MOST significantly, even though Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was dispatched to Allah’s hell-hole (reportedly, his successor, alike), the fact is that ISIS – as as ideological movement endemic within Islam’s teachings – is far from deceased. Buried. In reality, like its parent, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, and its grandparent, the Muslim Brotherhood Mafia, it is alive and well! Not for nothing.
IN other words, instead of western leaders speaking truth to power (with President Trump, as the leader of the heretofore free world, in the forefront…besides, as one who has no problem “shooting from the lip”, this imperative should be easy-peasy), finally, admitting that Islam is inextricably tied to blood, they jibber-jabber about its “peaceful” tenets. This is so, even as countless upon countless adherents worldwide scream to the high heavens (in homage to their pagan god, Allah) Allahu Akbar, god is greatest – as they slaughter innocents across the globe! If this is not the pure definition of a nihilistic death cult, what else is? Rhetorical.
CONSEQUENTLY, what else needs to be said to prove that keeping Islam – primarily, as a political force – out of the American body politic is a matter of national survival, all the hypocritical and bleeding hearts, be damned.
IN this regard, when ISIS burst onto the scene (akin to six of one jihadi groups….half a dozen of another) in 1999, their shadowy network was more circumspect than in the ensuing years. No longer.
AS it happens, many of their “signature” acts of nihilistic jihad are housed within these pages. Seek and you will find.
IN the interim – and in (patriotic) service of exposing one such “elephant in the room” – its fiery effects from fire jihad have been noted here, here, here, here, and so on and so forth.
EVEN so, for added heft of the same…..
Other truncated messages directly from ISIS & al-Qaeda, September 2003:
Oh Allah support the fighters everywhere, and hasten your support of them Oh Allah… Oh Allah… ignite the land a fire from below the feet of the Crusaders and cunning Zionists… Our warnings continued through 2010, at which time it appeared that the Department of Homeland Security would have had enough intelligence gathered on the plans of Muslim terror suspects living here in the U.S. Today, al Qaeda is being blamed for Europe-wide forest fires, as the head of Russia’s Federal Security Service claimed they were set by arsonists as part of the group’s low-cost attack strategy.”
As their carnage ensued, via other reports: February 11, 2009: Terrorist “chatter:” Forest Fires October 26, 2007: Photography, surveillance, FBI warnings preceded California wildfires…..
ALL of which circles back to the here and now, that is, ISIS’s latest (Nov. 2019) call to fire jihad – ala the supposedly weakened terror group. In a pig’s eye. Know this: assorted jihadi groups – be they directly or loosely affiliated with ISIS – are on board their call to jihad to burn infidel lands down!
A media outlet affiliated with ISIS has been instructing the group’s radical adherents to set forest fires in the United States and Europe to cause mass ecological disasters, according to posts on an internet forum dedicated to the terror group.
At least four propaganda posters that have appeared on the pro-ISIS Quraysh media outlet have urged followers to “ignite fires” as part of an ongoing jihad against America and its allies.
“The first poster in the series was published in April 2019,” according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, which tracks the radical forum. “The text reads: ‘Oh monotheists [followers of ISIS], ignite fires in the forests and fields, and we are addressing especially those who live in Europe and America, for they are painful to them.‘”
The fourth poster, released on Monday (Nov. 4, 2019) includes similar text: “Ignite fires in the forests of America, France, Britain, and Germany, for they are painful to them.”
YES, as always, it’s Islam, stupid “infidel!”
MEMO TO PRESIDENT TRUMP (an otherwise excellent POTUS – sans his inability to take care of business within the Islamic arena): Pay heed to those who recognize what’s what – most especially, to those first in line of their jihadi fire!
