ISIS al-Khansa brigade under deadly attack

Two interesting stories this week about the women who joined ISIS startingf get their hust rewards - death, and another story about an ISIS commander/rapist being killed by his victim.

Both come from The Clarion Project:

Mystery Assassins Target ISIS' Brutal Women's Brigade


Six members of the Islamic State's all female al-Khansa brigade were killed by an unknown armed group.


Mon. September 7, 2015

Female members of the Islamic State's al-Khansa brigade.

Unknown armed men have been attacking ISIS women within Mosul, the largest city controlled by ISIS. Although ISIS controls large swathes of territory, it is far from pacified.


“An armed unknown group attacked one of the offices of Khansawomen’s organization of ISIS in the area of new Mosul,” media officer of the Democratic Kurdish Party in Mosul, Saeed Mamuzini told Al-Sumaria News on Sunday. “The attack led to the deaths of six female members of the organization. The women of ISIS are active in recruiting other women to work within the organization.”

He added “Last week three Khansa women were killed during an armed attack in the neighborhood of Babel in Mosul.”

The ­Khansa brigade is feared for its brutality. In Raqqa the brigade was reported to be using a device called ‘the biter’ to savage the breasts of women caught breastfeeding publicly or insufficiently veiled.

ISIS responds to any disobedience with harsh and immediate punishment. “ISIS armed men kidnapped 40 citizens from the public markets in the middle of Mosul for failure to grow their beards, in violation of ISIS instructions," a local source in Nineveh province told Al-Sumaria News on Sunday. "The fighters led the kidnapped citizens to one of the prisons."...

Woman Kills the ISIS Commander Who Was Raping Her

Many women are held as sex-slaves by the Islamic State and few have escaped.

Wed, September 9, 2015

An emir (high ranking officer) in the Islamic State in Mosul has been killed by a woman who had been captured and used as his sex slave for three months. The revenge was taken against the man who was called Abu Annas for all the rape and abuse she suffered while in captivity. 

The media officer of the Kurdish Democratic Party for Mosul, Saeed Mamuzzini, reported the incident to Alsumaria news on Saturday, saying that the killing took place in the Tel Raman neighborhood in the western part of the city.


Thousands of women have been captured by the Islamic State (ISIS) and forced into sex slavery, mostly Yazidis. Oftentimes, the Yazidi women are forced to convert to Islam and then "married" to their captors. Muslim women have also been forced into marriage with Islamic State fighters after the terror groups offers payoffs for the girls to their families who are desparate for money....

UK: Former Defence Chief says "Cameron lacked balls to tackle ISIS"

From The Guardian

David Cameron lacked 'balls' to head off the rise of Isis, says former defence chief 


 UK prime minister rejected Syria strategy that would have squeezed out Islamic State, Lord Richards tells biographer Sir Anthony Seldon

David Cameron lacked “the balls” to take the military action in Syria that could have prevented the rise of Islamic State, a former head of the armed forces has said.


In a scathing analysis of the UK prime minister’s approach, Gen Lord Richards of Herstmonceux said Cameron’s approach seemed “more about the Notting Hill liberal agenda rather than statecraft”.


Lord Richards reportedly told author Sir Anthony Seldon that the prime minister had in 2012 rejected a “coherent military strategy” to take on the regime of Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, which would in his view have seen the Islamic extremists “squeezed out of existence”.

[...]

Lord Richards, who was chief of the defence staff from October 2010 to July 2013, is quoted as saying: “If they had the balls they would have gone through with it ... if they’d done what I’d argued, they wouldn’t be where they are with Isis.


“In Ukraine, as in Syria and Libya, there is a clear lack of strategy and statecraft. The problem is the inability to think things through. Too often it seems to be more about the Notting Hill liberal agenda rather than statecraft.”...

Kosovo: "Don't drink the water!" amid fears of ISIS plot

(wiki picture)


From Homeland Security NewsWire:

Kosovo’s capital cuts water supplies for fear of ISIS plot to poison reservoir

July 13, 2015

Kosovo security and health authorities have cut off water supplies to tens of thousands of residents in Pristina, Kosovo’s capital, following a suspicion that ISIS followers had poisoned the city’s water supplies.


The city’s water board said supply was cut early on Saturday “because of security issues” and that supplies had been tested for suspicious substances.


The Independent reports that the tests carried out by the Kosovo Institute for National Health had not detected any toxic content in the water.


The worries about the city’s water system emerged after five people linked to ISIS were arrested on Friday. Police sources say that security officers patrolling the Badovac reservoir saw three of the men, whose identities have not yet been disclosed, behaving suspiciously near the reservoir. The reservoir supplies water to about half of Pristina, a city of more than 200,000 people. Two additional suspects were later arrested in a small town a few miles from Pristina....

ISIS again warns "We will burn America"

That graphic comes from PJ Media and heads their report of ISIS' latest threat to America, where they promise us 'another 9/11.'

New Islamic State Video Calls for Attacks on the American Homeland, Promises Another 9/11

by Patrick PooleApril 11, 2015

The Islamic State has released a new 11-minute video called “We Will Burn America” that calls for supporters to attack the American homeland and promises another 9/11.

Here’s the full video:...

Right, except that there is no video, with this instead being displayed:

This video has been removed because its contents violated YouTube's Terms of Service.

The post then continues:

At this juncture I would note the New York Times’ front page article on December 29 that described how America’s top war fighters, namely Special Operations Command, freely admit that they don’t understand the ideology driving ISIS and other Islamic terror groups:

WASHINGTON — Maj. Gen. Michael K. Nagata, commander of American Special Operations forces in the Middle East, sought help this summer in solving an urgent problem for the American military: What makes the Islamic State so dangerous?

Trying to decipher this complex enemy — a hybrid terrorist organization and a conventional army — is such a conundrum that General Nagata assembled an unofficial brain trust outside the traditional realms of expertise within the Pentagon, State Department and intelligence agencies, in search of fresh ideas and inspiration. Business professors, for example, are examining the Islamic State’s marketing and branding strategies.

“We do not understand the movement, and until we do, we are not going to defeat it,” he said, according to the confidential minutes of a conference call he held with the experts. “We have not defeated the idea. We do not even understand the idea.”...

GO read the rest here. 

I found this post via JihadWatch who also had a link to the same video, with the same YouTube removal message:

Warning: the video is graphic. It shows beheadings. For the Islamic State, that is not repulsive — it is a recruitment tool. It signals to Muslims that they are heeding the Qur’anic injunction: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4).

JihadWatch then excerpts the same PJ Media post I have above, and ends with this paragraph which repeats the logic many of us  have been yelling about for years.

You can call in all the marketing executives and Harvard academics all you like, but when the Obama administration — meaning the entire U.S. government – as a matter of established policy refuses to acknowledge the ideology and intentions that our enemy publishes IN ENGLISH in the form of videos, audio recordings and magazines, and actively prohibits anyone in a government department or agency from discussing or speaking about said ideology, you really are beyond hope. And so is America.

I have long been on the record that it is not "if" but "when" the next 9/11 type attack happens on US soil, video warnings or not.  Truth be told, our politicians are failing us all, as they refuse to acknowledge the real threats that Islamist Terrorists pose globally - including North America.  Burying our heads in the sand, and pretending we have nothing to worry about, is beyond foolish or absurd - it is DANGEROUS.

PAY ATTENTION!

Video: President Obama - 'Aiding and abetting the enemy'???

NO, those are not my words, but part of a segment on FOX featuring Senator Tom Cotton and Lt.Gen (Ret) Tom McInerney.  Both Military Veterans pull no punches when responding to POTUS' laying out in plain view, for all to see (including ISIS) the US Military timetable for a retaking of Mosul in April.  They discuss other aspects of the current ISIS crisis as well.

Islamist Terrorism spreads: Have we learned nothing?

News last night of Islamist terrorists boldly slaughtering Egyptian Christians is but the latest of murders sweeping the globe - supposedly in the name of that religion of peace.

Christians, Jews, anybody not Islam, are all fair game for these terrorists, and the politicians in the west continue to hide their heads in the sand, and label these incidents as 'lone wolf' committed by 'isolated confused young men.'

All across the Middle East and Europe, those murdering scum continue to target innocents in what President Obama refuses to name.

North America is not immune.  Over the years, politicians and mainstream media have continued to skirt coyly around the many attacks by Islamist terrorists, refusing to call them what they are.  The Ft Hood attack by a terrorist yelling "Allah akbar"  was consistently called 'workplace violence' by the US Commander In Chief.

I have long documented the threat of insidious creep of Islamist terrorism within our borders.  Back in October 2010 I wrote this as Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders was on trial defending his right to clearly identify the threat posed by Islamist terrorists:

North Americans have long thought that what happens outside their shores - over there - has nothing to do with them. This 'trial' today in a small European country has EVERYTHING to do with us all. Mr Wilders may be defending his right to speak truth to the Danish people, in his own country, but anybody who believes that they can ignore the worldwide ramifications of this 'trial' is delusional...


[ ...]



Anybody who has not been living under a rock these past few years has seen what this 'religion of peace' looks like in all its ugliness, as Islam has marauded across many of Europe's streets. Those incidents do not need rehashing here.




Think this has nothing to do with you living in North America? Think again...Some people have been paying attention, and documenting incidents of muslim extremism - examples of Islam's 'religion of peace' - on American soil.



Islamic Terror Attacks on American Soil...

Go read here, and at the least take a look at the chart I included which dates back to 2002 of these 'lone wolf' every-day crimes.

These murders are not merely random acts, as anybody who pays even a smidgen of attention knows all too well....  Today in Canada, the trial continues of a Jihad recruiter.   To read these accounts is to see clear irrefutable evidence of the global threat to us infidels in our own countries, unless you choose to keep your heads buried in the sand.

As we watch the creep of Islam towards Italy, and yes, watch the Islamists in England continue to demand their 'special status ' rights there, at deadly cost to the Christians - or anybody NOT muslim - I find it astonishing that people like Obama continue to make speeches where he  'strongly condemns [s] such barbarous acts,' all the while avoiding calling these acts what they are: TERRORISM.  Period.

Apparently we seem to have forgotten how Nazism stomped unhindered across Europe slaughtering millions.   We turned our backs, and closed our ears and eyes, refusing to believe - or name - what was plain: Evil does walk among us.

One country that has clear vision when seeing what is happening every single day is Israel.


Yesterday PM Netanyahu (you know, that continual thorn in Obama's side) said:

Netanyahu urges Jews to move to Israel after Copenhagen attacks
Jerusalem (AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday urged European Jews to move to Israel after a Jewish man was killed in an attack outside Copenhagen's main synagogue.

"Israel is your home. We are preparing and calling for the absorption of mass immigration from Europe," Netanyahu said in a statement, repeating a similar call after attacks by jihadists in Paris last month when four Jews were among the dead.

[...]

"Extremist Islamic terrorism has struck Europe again... Jews have been murdered again on European soil only because they were Jews," Netanyahu said in the statement.

The Israeli prime minister said his government was to adopt a $45 million (39.5 million euro) plan "to encourage the absorption of immigrants from France, Belgium and Ukraine".
"To the Jews of Europe and to the Jews of the world I say that Israel is waiting for you with open arms," Netanyahu said....

Much more here.

As history repeats itself, Israeli Soldier's Mother echoes her Prime Minister's invitation:

There are lines you draw and lines you don't. If the human body cannot live on Mars, you don't go there - at least not to live. We all need home and so we defend it but if someone offers you something beyond home for which the price is too high, you don't buy it, you don't go there.


 What is in Copenhagen? Paris? London? Madison, Wisconsin?


 If they are desecrating graves with swastikas, beating Jews, taking hostages and murdering people...in places that are not our own and cannot be defended...it is time to leave. I know it sounds so simple...but...did you ever consider the fact that it really might be?


 You can complicate it by speaking of generations who have lived in these lands, of economic considerations. Of degrees earned that may not be worth much in Israel, of driving licenses that would need to be replaced. What happened today in Copenhagen could have been done in Poland and Germany, the Ukraine and elsewhere.


What they didn't learn then, was when it is time to leave, you pack what you can (sometimes what they let you, sometimes not even that)...and you leave because, as happened this morning - if you don't, it could have been the children. The Jews of Yemen are here and settled; the Jews of Ethiopia. The Jews of Russia finally got out; the Jews of Lebanon, Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and most of Iran. Most left with nothing and yet with everything because unlike four Jews in France last month and one Jew in Copenhagen today, they came with their lives....

There is much more here, and it is a must read.


"What they didn't learn then..."


For those of us with  no claim to residence in Israel, I strongly suggest that time is long past when we need to remember the lessons we should have learned in the 20th century.  Islamist terrorists have arrogantly bragged that they will hoist their ISIS flag over the White House, the Vatican, and Downing Street. 

The wolf is not at the door: the wolf is already in the compound.

What will you do when there is nowhere to run?   Willful ignorance nor appeasement are tools for foreign policy.

PAY ATTENTION.

UPDATED: ISIS murders 21 Egyptian Christians and chops off Iraqi women's hands - for using cell phones

Western 'feminists' continue their silence as barbarity continues.

From JihadWatch:

Islamic State chops off women’s hands for using cell phonesFEBRUARY 14, 2015 10:24 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER



Will the Islamophobia never end? “Isis chops off women’s hands ‘for using mobile phones’ in northern Iraqi city of Mosul,” by Vasudevan Sridharan,International Business Times, February 14, 2015:



The Islamic State (Isis) in Mosul, northern Iraq, has reportedly chopped the hands off three women for using mobile phones.



In addition, five men are also said to have been flogged for using their phones – which the Islamic State consider a crime.



“Today evening, the IS militants cut three women’s hands off for unknown charges,” an anonymous source in the Nineveh province told the Iraqi News, while later reports suggested they were punished for using mobile phones.



The source added: “They also whipped five people for using cell-phones to contact their relatives while standing on the celebration stage in the Cultural Compound in central Mosul.”...

Islamic State expands influence around globe

by Eric Schmitt and David D. Kirkpatrick   NEW YORK TIMES  

FEBRUARY 15, 2015


WASHINGTON — The Islamic State is expanding beyond its base in Syria and Iraq to establish militant affiliates in Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, and Libya, US intelligence officials assert, raising the prospect of a new global war on terror.


Intelligence officials estimate that the group’s fighters number 20,000 to 31,500 in Syria and Iraq.

There are less formal pledges of support from “probably at least a couple hundred extremists” in countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Yemen, said a US counterterrorism official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential information about the group.


Lieutenant General Vincent R. Stewart, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said in an assessment this month that the Islamic State is assembling a growing international following....

More on this one here.

Just today it is also being reported (with video) that  21  Christian men were beheaded by cowardly ISIS terrorists  in Libya who had kidnapped these Egyptians.  This IS a global scourge and time is long past when they should be eradicated from the human race.

How long will our leaders continue to spout stern speeches and do far too little?  How long?



UPDATE:  Egypt Strikes IS Group in Libya After Video of Mass Killing

CAIRO — Egypt said Monday it has launched airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Libya after the extremist group released a grisly video showing the beheading of several Egyptian Coptic Christians it had held hostage for weeks.


A spokesman for the Armed Forces General Command announced the strikes on state radio Monday, marking the first time Cairo has publicly acknowledged taking military action in neighboring Libya, where extremist groups seen as a threat to both countries have taken root in recent years.


The statement said the warplanes targeted weapons caches and training camps before returning safely. It said the strikes were "to avenge the bloodshed and to seek retribution from the killers."


"Let those far and near know that Egyptians have a shield that protects them," it said.  [Yes, emphasis mine]

Aussie journalists could face 10 years in jail

From The European Union Times:

New Australian law sees journalists facing 10 years in prison 

 Oct 2nd, 2014

Australia’s lower house of parliament has passed the first in a series of counter-terrorism amendments toughening the country’s national security law. The new legislation could see journalists jailed for reporting on related matters.

National Security Amendments Bill (No. 1), passed by Australia’s House of Representatives on Wednesday, says a person who discloses information relating to a special intelligence operation may face from five to 10 years behind bars.

Copying, transcribing or retaining records of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) is also outlawed, which is seen as a measure taken in the wake of Edward Snowden’s leaks of documents on the US’s National Security Agency.

Reporting on national security matters is being restricted simultaneously with more powers being granted to the country’s surveillance agency, with their power to monitor computers being expanded.

The government has justified the legislation as one boosting the country’s security in the wake of terrorist threat posed by the Islamic State extremist group (IS, formerly ISIS or ISIL)....

Iraq: Samira Salih al-Nuaimi murdered by ISIS - western *feminists* silent

Do you know this woman?  She was murdered by the 'religion of peace' in Mosul this week.  Her crime?  According to Gulf Center for Human Rights, her slaughter"is solely motivated by her peaceful and legitimate human rights work, in particular defending the civil and human rights of her fellow citizens in Mosul."

From FOX News:

Female human rights activist killed by ISIS
September 25, 2014
BAGHDAD – Militants with the Islamic State group tortured and then publicly killed a human rights lawyer in the Iraqi city of Mosul after their self-proclaimed religious court ruled that she had abandoned Islam, the U.N. mission in Iraq said Thursday.
 Gunmen with the group's newly declared police force seized Samira Salih al-Nuaimi last week in a northeastern district of the Mosul while she was home with her husband and three children, two people with direct knowledge of the incident told The Associated Press on Thursday. Al-Nuaimi was taken to a secret location. After about five days, the family was called by the morgue to retrieve her corpse, which bore signs of torture, the two people said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of fears for their safety...

[...]

A statement by the U.N. on Thursday added that al-Nuaimi was tried in a so-called "Sharia court" for apostasy, after which she was tortured for five days before the militants sentenced her to "public execution."


[...]

Al-Nuaimi's death is the latest in a string of attacks by the militant group to silence female activists and politicians. In July in the nearby town of Sderat, militants broke into the house of a female candidate in the last provincial council elections, killed her and abducted her husband, the U.N. said.

 On the same day, another female politician was abducted from her home in eastern Mosul; she remains missing.

Hanaa Edwer, a prominent Iraqi human rights activist, said at least five female political activists have been killed in recent weeks by the Islamic State group in Mosul, including al-Nuaimi, who Edwer said was also running for a seat on the provincial council....

My question:  WHERE is the outrage?  Where are the msm raging headlines?  Where is Michelle Obama with her hashtag condemnation?  Most of all, WHERE are the public protests by Code Pink, National Organisation of (some) Women?

Only one other news outlet - yes, out of the UK - has even acknowledged this very real, deadly,  war on women.

Michelle Obama and her husband?  Not a word from either of them, or David Cameron for that matter.

I wish I could say I am surprised at the worldwide silence as women and children continue to be tortured, murdered by the cowardly thugs of ISIS, but I am not.

I am so not surprised, since over the years I have watched with growing disgust as the pampered women of the west choose to remain silent about the ongoing atrocities against women living in muslim countries.

Not surprised at all, but beyond disgusted, as I read - almost on a weekly basis - of yet another woman whose only crime is wanting to live in freedom, (exercising the rights that western women take for granted) as they raise their children, their girls, in peace, with no fear from the terrorists in their midst.

I do not have the answers on how to solve this outrage, BUT I do know that as long as the west remains silent, the deadly war on women around the world will continue.

I long for a day when free, western women around the world take to the streets and denounce what is happening every.single.day to innocent women like Samira Salih al-Nuaimi.  The list gets longer by the day of women and girls who are slaughtered by islamist murderers.

"Feminists"??????  I have another *f* word for them, and until, and unless, all so-called support groups for women speak out LOUDLY for their global sisters, they show themselves for what they, and their political 'leaders,' truly are:  hypocrites.

Iraqi girl - picture courtesy of Major Chris Galloway a few years back.. This picture, and many others like it, continue to haunt me. I often wonder if this girl is still alive.  I also think very often about all the little girls and women that our deployed Troops shared with me,  as our guys fought to ensure a real future for these girls...


When will the *feminists* and the politicians rise up from their safe, pampered lives and demand a stop to the war on  these girls and women?  Only then can women such as Samira truly rest in peace.


'First they came for the muslim women and girls..and I said nothing...'

GITMO 5 release now top ISIS commander

Who'd a thunk this?

From National Report:

Terrorist Exchanged For Bowe Bergdahl Now Top ISIS Commander 
16 September 2014

Mullah Mohammed Fazi, one of the five Guantanamo Bay detainees released by the Obama administration in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl, has been confirmed to be currently in Iraq. Fazi, the Taliban’s former Defense Minister, is serving in a leadership capacity within the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS.

Reports indicate that Fazi, classified by a 2008 Pentagon dossier as being considered a high risk to the United States if released, appears to be heavily engaged in the systematic murder of Iraqs non-Sunni population. Internal Pentagon assessments say the strategy of wholesale slaughter carried out in ISIS occupied territories very well could have originated with Fazi. Many of the same techniques were utilized by the Taliban in Afghanistan to consolidate and strengthen their position under Mohammed Fazi’s direction.

News of Fazi’s involvement in the ISIS caliphate comes shortly on the heels of a finding by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office that President Obama broke the law when he exchanged five Taliban leaders for Sgt Bowe Bergdahl. The White House has “strongly disagreed” with the GAO’s conclusions. White House spokesman Eric Schultz has said that,”We reject the implication that the administration acted unlawfully.”

The Obama administration is worried that news of Fazi’s emergence as a top commander in ISIS will worsen public perception of both the terrorist swap for Bergdahl and the GAO’s findings of illegal activity....

Just so much wrong with all of this, as many of us predicted at the time of Obama's rush to do this illegal, secret deal.
