ISIS Head Calls For Global Jihad; Here Are Some Muslim Responses

On Saturday, Bakr al-Baghdadi released a rare audio recording in which the ISIS leader threatened Israel (“we are getting closer to you everyday”), insisted that the Russian air campaign had not weakened the group (“hear the good news that our state is doing well"), and called upon Muslims to join the caliphate and take up arms against its enemies. 

“Joining (its fight) is a duty on every Muslim. We are calling on you either join or carry weapons (to fight) wherever you are,” Baghdadi said, adding that “there is no excuse for any Muslim not to migrate to the Islamic State.” 

Muslims, apparently, do not agree and took to Twitter to list a number of “excuses” for their unwillingness to drop what they’re doing to wage jihad in Syria and Iraq. Here are some amusing examples.

As The Independent notes, the Twitter reaction is "a reminder that the overwhelming majority of people follow Islam peacefully and detest the message that Isis spreads." 

One country that does not detest the message ISIS spreads is of course Saudi Arabi, where wahhabism is openly promoted and championed. It's interesting to note that Baghdadi also threatened Riyadh in the audio recording, asking Saudi citizens to overthrow the government. And then on Sunday, we get this from al-Jazeera: 

While recent spectacular terror attacks either directed or inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have mostly taken place against the West and Russia, a new priority for ISIL could be the Gulf.

 

The two countries that appear to be more at risk now are Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

 

The likelihood of a full-blown ground operation by troops from that newly formed coalition is at the moment quite low, as it would mean Saudi soldiers fighting alongside its arch-enemies - the Shia militias - against ISIL. 

This assessment might change instantaneously if there were to be a spectacular ISIL-directed terror attack in either Saudi Arabia or the UAE.

Did Baghdadi just set the stage for a Saudi-led ground intervention in Syria? And if so, how convenient is that for Riyadh and its newly formed anti-terror "coalition" who would like nothing more than to rollback the Iranians (who were left out of the alliance) and tip the scales back in favor of the rebels fighting Assad?

That's very nice, but their holy books fully condone lying to and killinf of all non-muslims, the raping of children, and demands Sharia.  You can't be a muslim and disbelieve this stuff. 

Btw, the jooz' Talmud isn't very different.

Wahbism was first created(fermented) in Harrer,Ethiopia 2nd home of Islam in seventy century.When it first came by one Imam as oppose to the normal Islam there were much roar about it them later when Saudi learn of it i think the Imam(Sheikha) went to mecca for Hijra then got there developed it.

We call them 'wabiya' i got even a neighbor who used to be normal Muslim,we eat christian or Muslim meat no problem latter converted to whabism by rich merchants when he got into that deep the university he was attending band him from study after so many warnings due to his teachings and change in cloth short trouser,beared.

I am not sure it is started Ethiopia or Saudi but pretty much fucked up belief worse than Islam even.
