ISIS Caliphate Demands All Muslims Immigrate To "Islamic State"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Having declared a caliphate, the terrorist group formerly known as ISIS (or ISIL) has decided a rebranding is in order. Since the group no longer recognizes the political distinction between Iraq and Syria, it has dropped the "Iraq" and "Levant" from its name, making it only the "Islamic State". The leader of the extremist group is looking to build his presence, as AP reports, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi released a 19-minute tape demanding, "Muslims, rush to your state. Yes, it is your state."

As AP reports,

The leader of the extremist group that has swept over much of northern Syria and Iraq has called on Muslims to come to the territory his group has seized to help build an Islamic state.

 

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, head of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, says in a 19-minute audiotape released on line Tuesday: "Muslims, rush to your state. Yes, it is your state."

And Stratfor notes,

On June 29, a spokesman for the militant group the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant announced that the group had established a caliphate, a political institution to govern the global Muslim community, stretching from Diyala province, Iraq, to Aleppo, Syria. Since the group no longer recognizes the political distinction between Iraq and Syria, it has dropped the "Iraq" and "Levant" from its name, making it only the Islamic State.

The trouble with the announcement is that the Islamic State does not have a caliphate and probably never will. The new moniker will not change the fact that geography, political ideology, and religious, cultural and ethnic differences will prevent the emergence of a singular polity capable of ruling the greater Middle East. Even the Islamic State, which has made impressive territorial gains quickly, has only an emirate, which encompasses a far smaller geographic area than a caliphate. Establishing an emirate is not terribly remarkable. Similar groups have established emirates before: The Taliban ruled more than 90 percent of Afghanistan prior to 9/11, and al Qaeda franchise groups oversaw short-lived emirates in Yemen and Mali.

Still, the Islamic State's announcement represents the first serious attempt to re-establish the caliphate since the Turkish Republic abolished the institution in 1924. During the past 90 years, there have been a few other attempts to revive the caliphate, but none were particularly successful.

What idiot wrote this?  I'm sure no one else in history has ever united large areas of land that shared cultural, ethnic,and religious differences?  Do they teach history in schools anymore?

It's unworkable in 2014 without a lot of wealth to distract from the tribal differences -- wealth that ISIS is not going to be able to create.  Power is too distributed.  The Ottoman Empire didn't have to contend with random minority kids in some far-off province downloading bomb recipes from the Net.

They are talking about a "Sunni" Islamic state, sponsored by the CIA/SA/Israel.  Notice how the boundary does not enter Turkey.  Turkey is currently cooperating with the CIA. 

The "moderates" executed publicly were killed for other reasons.  All the images are for the US sheep.

I'm guessing ISIS has been prepped with weapons to counter the air craft.

It's just like a movie, the CIA creates ISIS, funds it and for the most part directs it.  But sells ISIS to the US public as the new boogey man and gets increased funds to fight it.  The CIA then funnels that money to ISIS to proceed with proxy wars against innocent civilians and non Sunni, especially Christiians.

Why didn't they ask for cooks? or computer programmers, stonemen, truckdrivers, mechanics, farmers, trashmen or tv sales people because these are the people that make a community or country function. When you can't daytrade because your computer or internet crashes who do you call?
The chinese...because they have the best food in town, (if you know what to order) or who ever delivers food to your door.
Simple things are the most important of all.
They just want to be tyrannts like all the rest. Let me know when they want more then a slogan.

Sticks worked for a while i heard.
Not a medium just a form of keeping account. Settle accounts at the end of the season or year as they did in the old west.
Say i bake bread every day for a year or deliver milk everyday for a year or season. When your corn comes to harvest you settle all of your accounts. Can be corn or beef or internet service.
As long as they have a means to keep account and settle with commodites; bread for bakers, hay for ranchers power for internet service, its all good.

One of the problems in dealing with terrorists is that they were "stateless" guerilla fighters.

Now that they have an official state we can b0mb the the barbarians back to the 7th century that they embrace.

You might be a "stateless" guerrilla fighter if:

  • You're a vet
  • Like to exercise any of the Bill of Rights
  • Don't drink the kool-aid
  • Can grow your own food
  • Want to End the Fed
  • Give money to anyone not approved by the "state", especially yourself
  • Think busing illegal alien minors around the countryside at taxpayer expense is a bad idea, on just about any level you can take it

All countries should immediately enable the repatriation of those Muslim citizens within their borders who wish to live under Sharia laws and in an Islamic and halal free environment.

To deny them their desire to live in an true Islamic country is to deny them their human rights.

Barack Obama is blackmailing Nouri al-Maliki by withholding military support until the Iraqi Prime Minister agrees to step down. In other words, we are mid-stream in another regime change operation authored by Washington. What’s different about this operation, is the fact that Obama is using a small army of jihadi terrorists –who have swept to within 50 miles of Baghdad–to hold the gun to Mr. al Maliki’s head.

This has been... 'all orchestrated', by the USSA since 2009- present? Take notice that the Iraqi War was winding down, and fast... as Petraeus was close to a nervous breakdown-- the US wanted out and gave the Sahwa's and Baathist movement what they wanted in Sahahaddin, Diyala, Babil, Tamin, and in al-Anbar. They were,  and will forever be diabolical turncoats... caring little for the whole of Islam or the country, only their nefarious illicit trade and love of money and power, as was the epitome of their fallin leader... Saddam the Shiite Destructor- and Kurd Slayer! All, Sunni!... and fuck everyone else. Back and forth they'd change like a chameleon to the highest bidder as long as it was Sunni`Islam!  

The Iraqi war was ~9 years long; beginning on Mar. 20, 2003 , and culminating on Dec.15, 2011. Nouri al-Maliki takes office backed by the US Government Dec. 21, 2010, as the 74th Prime Minister of Iraq-- a Shia! Now, I'd like to bring into the equation, Syria... and their on going Civil War that started out from a 'Fluff & Stuff' street protest, Jan. 28, 2011- present. Where else, but on the northern border of Syria, that straddles Turkey and Iraq. What should get the readers attention is the timing. US finnishes up in Iraq and leaves their(?) prime directive choice al-Maliki whom hates the fucking Sunni Sahwa and Baathist... period!

The USSA was well aware of the nascent Sahwa (and motives?) origins... that was just gettin it's walking (prosthesis?fitted by Sheikh Bandar) legs in the early 2000s and inversed/verted bellicose Baathist movement now having been compromised long ago by Saddam...? Sadly, the Baathist Movement started in Syria, and migrated to Iraq... which Saddam adopted, and literally, eviscerated, by turning it upside down and inside out when he finally took complete control of Iraq as President (cherry picking what benefitted him, whilst rewriting what didn't... kinda like OBi1 and 'Do You Know Who I Am? and our constitution!) on July 16, 1979 til his hanging Dec. 30, 2006. He too, was fully vetted by the USSA.

Nouri al-Maliki has been played by the USSA. He was an easy mark, especially after what Petraeus did in Anbar and vincinity to pacify the Sunni's`Sahwa and Baathist to fight the al Qaeda, which were just doing the 'hide and seek' as the Taliban in Afghanistan. Just waiting their time-differential for their next excursion per orders via CIA?!? 

Just follow the time-line... no need to connect the dots-- its all a diversion. Here is a conclusive paragraph... and excerpt as quoted from 'Small Wars Journal'... it's almost laughable in its context:

"These points relate to U.S. performance not just in Afghanistan today, but in future conflicts as the existence of militias on the battle-field (AQI [al-Qaeda in Iraq]) has been a common phenomenon throughout the globe and throughout history. The problems posed to weak governments, poor resourse extraction, cultural clashes, and inequitable wealth distribution seems likely to continue to fuel conflict especially within borders of numerous states. These themes can, therefore, inform counter (COIN) {(DDR)Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration)}insurgency doctrine and strategy for future conflicts where inevitably militias emerge."

the peacefull fun loving muzzies that invaded Detroit going back 20 or so years now burned my wifes grandmother's beauty shop on Michigan avenue in Dearborn to the ground after she refused to sell it to them on five or so occasions.  It began first with broken hot water heaters.  That of course means no shampooing the ladies hair.  A few broken windows and door jambs.  Syrup and flour spread all over the floors and finally the fire.  Gramma ran that beauty shop for almost fifty years during Dearborn and Detroit's haydays.  She grew up in a log cabin in Alberta Canada and was tough as nails. 

She was  76 years old and working 6 days a week when they burned her out.

Having said that and having lived in Detroit myself in the early 80s I am glad grams has passed on already and doesn't have to see now what has become of Dearborn and Detroit overall for that matter.

Look at Detroit.  Now picture the same for LA,  Chicago,  Philly,  Dayton,  the list goes on.  We will have government employees,  overpaid and underworked.  Private sector buinesses strong enough to remain after paying support monies to TPTB.  And,  the free shit army,, growing by leaps and bounds everyday.

I think I read on the ICE USA jobs website that in January they were advertising for employees to accompany UAC's  by train, bus and air to all points in the country.  So 6 months ago there were plans for illegals to flood our borders and they were hiring people to escort them all over the country.  Part of the job description was 24/7 availability and traveling while insuring the utmost safety of the illiegal underage children or UAC's. 

 I have been doing 1099 work for four years and have been without any kind of insurance that whole time.  Paid for out of pocket eye surgery for my wife.  There are more than 50 percent spanish only signs now in my hometown.  We give them medical,  food,  shelter and I saw an ad on a billboard they other day with a smiling brown teen touting her new braces on her teeth paid for with here Illinois free health card.

Fuck me,  this country is swirling around the toilet bowl.  It will only need a match and when the fire starts,  well,  plenty of dry tinder.

I am 59 years old and I don't recognize the country I grew up in,,,,,,, sorry for the rant.
